Mission Loja

A Little Taste of Loja on a Sunday Afternoon

Cecina is a large flat piece of meat that is very popular here in Loja. Under the meat is some really good yuca and a small salad.                   

Many meals come with mote. It is like hominy in the states only better. The beans are like limas with a stripe on the edge. The cubes are queso or cheese. This plate was brought out as an appetizer.

Terry ordered un tamal. These are nothing like the tamales we have in the States. I shared my cicina and he shared his tamal.
