Dining in Cuenca Ecuador

[Catbrigab]

I will be in Cuenca, Ecuador for the month of August and want to know where the BEST dining/eating experiences are for traditional Ecuadorian food.  It can be street vendors, stalls at a market, or restaurants.  I just want to sample as much quality, authentic, Ecuadorian food as possible.

I've waited and waited for a response to this query. My reason is that my husband and I have spent some time in Ecuador, in Cuenca in particular, and did not find the food at all good. Lots of white rice and bland, boring accompaniments. Nothing at all like the food of Peru, right next door. Now, our time there was in 2004 and 2008, so things may have changed since then, and perhaps we just didn't find the kind of restaurants that would have inspired us. If the OP would let us know his/her experience it would be nice to know if I'm wrong.
