I would note Picantería Laurita as a stop for exploring the neighbourhood’s Ecuadorian cooking. It is on Junín, and I would arrive curious about what was coming from the kitchen that day. The roast pork mentioned by some visitors would be my first question.
Among the favourable reviews informing this piece, Marjo Teran highlights that dish, the portion size and the friendliness. Juana Pinanjota also recalls the roast pork and trotter soup, along with the welcome from the people serving. Those experiences give me a starting point for exploring the offering and hearing a recommendation.
I would ask what was available and which accompaniments the team suggested. I would like to sit down and pay attention to the meal, allowing time to enjoy it. My invitation would be to approach Laurita with that curiosity: letting a dish reveal another part of San Marcos.
