We're Enjoying Three-Course Fish Meal for $2.50 in La Mariscal of Quito Ecuador!

We found another quaint $2.50 almuerzo restaurant in Quito Ecuador, and this time we're having the fish. We noticed there are still many $2.50 almuerzos in Quito and even in the tourist district of La Mariscal! If fish isn't your thing you can substitute it for chicken instead.
