Ñaño Ecuadorian Restaurant

691 10th Ave, New York, NY 10036, USA
Closed Permanently

Abel Castro closed his Ecuadorian restaurant after 10 years in April 2023.

This authentic taste of Ecuador brings the warmth and bold flavors of South American cuisine to the neighborhood. Traditional recipes passed down through generations come alive in dishes like seco de cabrito, lomo saltado, and fresh ceviches that transport diners straight to the coastal markets of Guayaquil. The family-run atmosphere and genuine hospitality make every meal feel like a dinner invitation to someone's abuela's table, complete with stories and extra helpings.

Nano has all-day happy hour. But it's worth springing for a full-priced drink: for cooler spring and summer days, the canelazo is so good — a cinnamon hot toddy with aguardiente.

The empanada de verde from Abel Castro's Ñaño in Hell's Kitchen. The shell isn't made from wheat or corn but rather from mashed green plantains. The kitchen stuffs it with cheese and fries it to order. Extremely delicious, with a knish-like texture."
