class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most reliable restaurants are named after someone real. At Leticias in Corona, the name belongs to the owner&#8217;s mother, and her cooking \u2014 the ceviches, the soul-warming soups, the Sunday-table pork \u2014 is the entire point. What the family added is polish: a modern room, crafted cocktails and plating that honors the food instead of hiding it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Story\"><\/span>The Story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Leticias set out to serve Ecuadorian hospitality made in Queens: recipes handed down from Leticia herself, cooked with fresh ingredients and a few creative liberties. In a neighborhood dense with South American kitchens, this one built its name on doing the classics properly and welcoming everyone \u2014 regulars swear the room feels like being hosted, not served.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_the_Table\"><\/span>On the Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The ceviche has admirers across Queens, bright with citrus and generous with seafood. The encebollado \u2014 Ecuador&#8217;s famous restorative tuna soup \u2014 is the dish expats order first, while the fritada with mote pillo, the chaulaf\u00e1n and the whole roasted trucha cover the comfort spectrum. To drink: the signature Quaker Fr\u00edo, a chilled oat drink, or cocktails mixed from Ecuadorian spirits and fruit. Leave room for something sweet \u2014 desserts follow the same homemade instinct.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Space\"><\/span>The Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Contemporary and light-filled, with warm colors and none of the theme-restaurant costume. It moves gracefully from family lunches \u2014 strollers, grandparents, birthday flan \u2014 to relaxed evenings when the lights drop and the cocktail shaker takes over.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_Its_For\"><\/span>Who It&#8217;s For<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Families keeping traditions alive one Sunday at a time, couples exploring beyond the familiar, and anyone who believes a restaurant with a mother&#8217;s name on the door will not dare serve a careless plate.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Good_to_Know\"><\/span>Good to Know<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>When is it liveliest?<\/strong> Weekend afternoons \u2014 the classic hour for Ecuadorian family lunches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the signature dish?<\/strong> The ceviche, with the encebollado a close and beloved second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I celebrate an occasion here?<\/strong> Yes \u2014 the staff happily accommodates birthdays and family gatherings; call ahead for larger tables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Quaker Fr\u00edo?<\/strong> A traditional chilled Ecuadorian drink blended from oats and fruit \u2014 refreshing and worth trying once.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there lighter options?<\/strong> Certainly: ceviches, soups and grilled fish keep the meal fresh rather than heavy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opening_hours\"><\/span>Opening hours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Day<\/th>\n<th>Hours<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Monday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tuesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wednesday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thursday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201322:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Friday<\/td>\n<td>11:30\u201323:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Saturday<\/td>\n<td>09:30\u201323:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Sunday<\/td>\n<td>09:00\u201322:30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"entity-gallery\" class=\"padrino-entity-gallery\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Photos\"><\/span>Photos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-1.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-2.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/07\/leticias-restaurant-queens-3.png\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-4.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-5.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-6.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<details>\n<summary>Show 3 more photos<\/summary>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-7.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-8.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.queenska.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/06\/leticias-restaurant-queens-9.jpg\" alt=\"Leticias Restaurant\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<div id=\"comments\" class=\"comments-area wp-block-group\">\n<h2 class=\"comments-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visitor_reviews\"><\/span>Visitor reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"comment-list\">\n<li id=\"comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1\">\n<article id=\"div-comment-padrino-0\" class=\"comment-body\">\n<footer class=\"comment-meta\">\n<div class=\"comment-author vcard\">\n<b class=\"fn\"><span>Glinnesa Gailliard<\/span><\/b>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-metadata\">\n10 June 2026<br \/>\n \u00b7 <span>\u2605 10.0\/10<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"comment-content\">\n<p>Malin was our server.
