El Punto Encuentro

Location:
Mompiche, Ecuador

Restaurant

Check out this surf shack at the southern end of the street that runs parallel to the beach. Morrongo, a local who grew up in Mompiche, runs his surf school and quasi restaurant out of his thatched-roof hut. If you are looking for quick, filling grub before or after a long day at the beach, then this is the place. If you are lucky enough to be in Mompiche at the same time as the British woman who lives there a few months out of the year, she cooks delicious vegetarian dishes nightly. Get there early, like at 7 p.m., before the curry or lasagna (for example) runs out.

Prices:
Breakfast: Very cheap
Dinner: Very cheap

Getting There: If you are facing the water and standing at the crossroads of the two streets, take a left. walk all the way down 'til the street turns into sand and look for the thatched-hut on your right.
