Owned by a Californian/Ecuadorian fellow, G-Spot serves some of the best hamburgers I have ever had, on any continent, and prices start at $0.85! The fries are killer, too: crispy, golden-brown and perfectly seasoned! The burger patties are thin, which is the norm in Quito, but you can always order a double if you're a fan of MEAT. The bun is bakery-quality and the Special Sauce is just exquisite - be sure to ask for a bottle if you want more. (I've heard many theories surrounding this 'secret sauce', mostly trying to figure out what controlled substance it contains, cause we all come back for more...)

I'm a bit of a snob about insisting on experiencing local food and not relying on the comfy back-home favorites, but G-Spot is so good it's addictive - and I don't usually even eat hamburgers.

G-Spot is even open till 2 a.m., so it's perfect for an after-party bite.

As a side note, the owner told me he's planning on expanding the menu to include Mexican cuisine, so that should be available soon.
