Balcon De Quito, Ridgewood NY

I had given 5 stars 3 years ago, now the restaurant has changed its name and also the cooks, the food has changed a lot.

The food used to taste great at a reasonable price. For example, in my experience, the shrimp and noodle soup used to be one of the best tasting dishes they had, but in the past two months (June 2022-July 2022) it has been far below subpar. I have gotten lunch twice from here in the above time period and both times the food was a struggle to eat. The second time I did not even bother finishing the food. The rest of the lunch dishes have also suffered in quality, in addition to the shrimp soup. To the owners: whatever change happened in the past few months regarding where the ingredients for the food is purchased or maybe the staff, or management has caused the food to taste terrible in recent times. Please address this.
