Nice building. But be careful I was robbed. A there is no one police around here.

Typical south American square. Not the cutest of town though.

It's a nice place to chill with seats, small vendors, pigeons, and a view of the architecture around.

A small city park.

Pretty nice square for having a seat and enjoy

Nice open space with greenery. Beautiful fountain and some old buildings surrounding it. You can get anything you want of street vendors and your shoes will be polished at the same time. Good place to sit and relax

Nice traditional square

Pro: This is a great place to visit is a good representation of the Ecuadorian culture with the main products Fruit juice with Esther and Ice of the Chimborazo, test great, and after the delicious Hornado or Roasted pork. Cons: Be really careful when you buy the Hornado, when somebody enter in the Hornado place start a really theatrical offering of Hornado test sample if you accept one be ready to be deceived if they think you are not Local, or tourist. Because first if you ask they will be offer a really overpriced and not full product , please look around and compare the quantity there are offering you for such overpriced product, if you look a difference claim immediately for a fair Hornado amount, because some people here are not honest, Happened to me I recuest a 5 dollar product and received a half portion on comparation the another locks like local Who recuest a 2.5 dollar portion. What's happened with this, I am already living here for 2 months and will not comeback to the Merced Market, I will look for another place to eat Hornado and of course the honest people working on here will be lost credibility, and of course customers, because a lot of people like me show Merced Market as a just One visit place.

It's a small market with lots of restaurants. The food is nice but they sell quite aggressively. Haha

Unfortunately, this is not the same place I knew few years ago. It's a kind of scary go to this place... The prices are very high and the dishes are not delicious anymore... So, be careful, before order, establish the real cost for the meal you are asking for....

Terrible place. Only one type of (disgusting) roasted pork (literraly 20 sellers sell the same thing), and they cheated us on the price twice : They first announce a price, and then raise it of 50 cents when you have to pay after the meal). Don't go there

Very interesting experience. Pig or Hornados en espanol is the main dish but I was happy to find a juice stand among all the cooked pigs and enjoyed some celery juice with pineapples.

A place where you can eat some of the traditional plates in Riobamba call Hornados, but is a noisy place you will find the experience very interesting, but for me the best hornados are in Valle de los Chillos the restaurant is call Dieguitos.

The market of La Merced is a very typical place of riobamba with a personality of its own in which they make a pork know in Riobamba as "Hornado" very delicious. They also prepared natural fruit juice with ice from Chimborazo volcano. If you are lucky you can find a volcanic stone in your natural fruit juice!.

Great park to visit Surrounding with really beautiful architecture, as the Riobamba Catedral, the City museum and the Major Building.

Not much shade, a bland park in the middle of town. Other cities parks are much nicer.

A lovely place to take a stroll in riobamba. Lots of old beautiful buildings to see

Historical and architectural place. I love it!!!

Nice place if your just walking around

It's a nice enough park to visit and relax. You can bring something to eat and just enjoy the location. There are also many things to see around the area. It is nothing special but it is still nice enough.

Very nice, clean square to visit with a beautiful church face of carved stone. Well worth a stroll and some pictures

Great place for tourist to buy artesian products.

Iconic place from Riobamba, you can buy some crafts

Great place to find textile handicrafts

Visit when you're in Ríobamba

Ok

Excellent

A nice spot in an otherwise pretty dismal city. Good views of El Altar volcano and the mural was one of the nicer we have seen in Ecuador. Seems to be a bit of a lovers park as eager couples were cuddled up thru out the park. Bit trashy but still quite pleasant.

Garbage and It was dirty at some places. There are no security in the park (and in the city). A lot of shady people, small city with a strange vibe. Be careful.

The park is raised just above the surrounding city so there are great views in all directions, including towards Chimborazo. I agree it doesn't feel very safe with a camera as there are very few people around even on a Sunday morning except for an occasional loitering man. Below the park towards the church there were market stalls and more activity.

Now this is the park that really need some love and maintenance. From this park you can really get some great view of Chimborazo and Volcano Tungurahua in the background of the beautiful church.

The best view of the volcanoes around

It's a nice view, it's the highest place on the city, but a little lonely place.... it's better if you go with friends

It's a really peaceful park, I climbed a tree and stayed a really long time there

Is a great and Beautiful park, Called Parke Infantil. Unfortunately after somany years, I can see how bad become due the lack of maintenance, the great Small lake, become empty, with out the Magic of its colour lights, and no place for rent boats This time was at 7 am and be surprised because this park was full of people making exercise, dancing. Really great and amazing to see people of all ages looking to be fit and healthy.

A small city park overlooking the old city.

Good place for spend time with family but only while it's sunny because it's a bit dangerous at nights and while it's raining you won't find a safe place

It's a large park located uptown. It has plenty of green areas and spaces for children to enjoy themselves.

Park located in the center of Riobamba city, around it there is a Supermarket, restaurants, bars and the city's Olympic Stadium, occasionally events or concerts are presented in its outdoor setting.

If you are planning to go to Ecuador, go to Riobamba, beautiful city, friendly people a lot of things to do

Crowdy and very dirty, take your children somewhere else to be quiet

It's a very nice place for someone interested in Religious and historical monuments. The souvenir store has plenty of options, including some beers! We got bracelets, the design has been worked. It's the best opportunity to give a pray, you can get candles right outside, at the entrance.

Consider it was built in 1543 and only the face had a little bit of work this building is amazing.

Filled with history. Built by hand in 1534. Upon entering you feel an indescribable feeling of peace. I became very emotional as I lit a candle for my mom.😥

Visit greatly helped by talk (in Spanish) by staff member in the museum. Symbolism of angels and volcano shapes highlighted in this unassuming historic church.

A historic and humble church. Worth seeing if only for the roofing structure.

Ecuador's first church, build in 1534. When driving towards Baños de Agua Santa, take the time to check it out, and get a great cup of coffee at the cafeteria!

Nice building, felt calm.

Ok

(Translated by Google) Well, what I tried were the lunches. They have excellent seasoning, an affordable price, a good atmosphere, the place is large and they play ambient music at a low volume so that everyone can hear each other. I think the only thing that fails a little is the attention, I think that when they treat you kindly and with a smile the food is better enjoyed, it is the only recommendation I could make. Also, I think they should be open to having a more varied clientele, because people in wheelchairs cannot access the place. Now most places are pet friendly because pets have become part of the family, they should also take that into account. (Clearly, always taking care that pets are not going to be dangerous) (Original) Bueno, lo que yo probé fueron los almuerzos. Tienen una excelente sazón, un precio accesible, un buen ambiente, en lugar es grande y ponen música ambientada en un volumen bajo para que todos se puedan escuchar unos a otros. Creo que lo único que falla un poco es la atención, creo que cuando te tratan amablemente y con una sonrisa la comida se disfruta mejor, es la única recomendación que podría hacer. También, creo que deberían estar abiertos a tener una clientela más variada, porque personas en sillas de ruedas no pueden acceder al lugar. Ahora la mayoría de lugares son pet friendly porque las mascotas se han vuelto parte de la familia, eso también deberían de tomar en cuenta. (Claramente, siempre teniendo cuidado con que las mascotas no vayan a ser peligrosas)

(Translated by Google) It is the best restaurant you could find in the area, the meals have an incredible flavor, it is unique and every day there are very good and different options to choose from, the presentation of both the place and the food are the best and the atmosphere allows you to have a good time, whether relaxed or shared with friends or family (Original) Es el mejor restaurante que podrías encontrar dentro de la zona, las comidas poseen un sabor increíble, es único además de que cada día existen opciones muy buenas y diferentes para escoger, la presentación tanto del lugar como de la comida son de lo mejor y el ambiente permite tener un buen momento, ya sea relajado o compartido con amigos o familia

(Translated by Google) I tend to see the glass half full instead of half empty, but in this case I went with the family and the service left a lot to be desired, as did the pizza I ordered. In favor of it, its facilities and atmosphere are spectacular, but in relation to the service and quality (at least of its pizzas) it needs to improve a lot. (Original) Soy de ver el vaso medio lleno en vez de medio vacío pero en este caso fui con la familia y la atención dejó mucho que desear al igual que la pizza que solicité, a favor tiene que sus instalaciones y el ambiente es espectacular pero en relación a la atención y calidad (al menos de sus pizzas) debe mejorar y mucho.

Incredible sandwiches! One of best flavor filled sandwiches in all of Ecuador! BBQ sandwich 10/10 pepperoni pizza 10/10.

Superb chicken sandwiches. Pizza good enough, 1/2 to 2/3 Pizza per person. Good espresso, cappuccino could be stronger. Nice staff, music varies. Good location with nice views. For when you have seen enough brightly white light restaurants. Value for money.

Food is good and the coffee is good as well. Portions are generous. Ambience and service is just ok. My main concern is the price. In my opinion, $6,5 for a crèpe is too much for the Riobamba market.

Pizza is good. It takes a while to get your order though.

Outstanding genuine-Neapolitan style pizza from two tiny ovens. It may take time, but it's worth it. If you haven't had Neapolitan style pizza, the crust is much lighter, more delicate, and easier to digest.

Best food I’ve had in Ecuador by far.

I had only salty crepe. Taste was nice, but porcion was a bit small. It is rather for snack than proper food. They have very nice ice tea... I have to change my opinion. We went there also for breakfast and crepe with egg was very nice. I really recommend it!

Ok

(Translated by Google) I used to come here often, but after my last experience, I don't plan on returning. During lunch, I found a slug in my salad near the end of the meal. The worst part was that when I reported it to the owner and staff, they didn't care at all and showed no interest in resolving the situation. A total lack of hygiene and customer service. (Original) Solía venir seguido a este lugar, pero después de mi última experiencia no pienso regresar. Durante el almuerzo, en la ensalada encontré una babosa casi al final de la comida. Lo peor fue que al informarlo al dueño y al personal, no les importó en absoluto ni mostraron interés por resolver la situación. Una total falta de higiene y de atención al cliente.

(Translated by Google) The hygiene is superior. They ask you to please wash your hands at the entrance, they clean the tables and chairs after each diner leaves, and they give you cutlery in a sealed paper bag. I haven't seen this level of cleanliness in other provinces of my beautiful Ecuador. And the food... tasty, well-seasoned, and the service is full of kindness. (Original) La higiene es Superior. Te piden de entrada que por favor te laves las manos, limpian las mesas y sillas después de que cada comensal sale, te dan los cubiertos en una funda de papel sellada. No he visto este nivel de limpieza en otras provincias de mi lindo Ecuador. Y de los alimentos...sabrosos, buena sazón y la atención llena de amabilidad

Maybe the best restaurant in Riobamba. The restaurant is at a different location than a year ago. It's on the panamerican highway in the north of Riobamba.

My wife, Lynn, and I stopped here for lunch today and are we glad we did. We were greeted warmly by the owner/chef and shown to a nice table by the window. After perusing the menu we ordered two exceptional dishes. Lynn had steak roasted on stone and I had the seafood casserole. Both dishes were nicely presented. The service was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant when in Riobamba.

We have been traveling in South America for more than 6 months, this was the best meal we have had since starting the trip. We split the sopa de camarones (shrimp soup) and corvina aplanada con quinua (Ecuadorian filette dusted with quinoa). So delicious and the portions were generous. Service was great. The chef and owner, Luigi, came out to talk with us. He was trained in NYC and has lived in many other countries, so his food has the taste of many different places. The restaurant doesn't look fancy but the food is the best!

The food did take some time before it came out but it was nothing crazy and it absolutely was worth the wait. Meat was cooked perfectly and they were good portions. Would definitely recommend!

This restaurant could be a surprise or a fiasco depends on how lucky you are. Lets begin with the facilities: a kind of castle under expansion - construction at the moment. It is big but w/ few parking lots. Food: Arrived late for lunch, hungry for a salad and something else but they didn't have any salad available. I have a very sensitive stomach to sauces and spice so I needed to ask the sauce serve apart. One of the waiters told me that the chef was a little bit stubborn and doesn't like to serve dishes w/o sauces. Asked for the first salad it my choice: order accepted. 5 minutes later waiter said it wasn't available. Same think happened w/ other choices. My sense tells me that the chef simply denied to serve us any salad because of my initial request. Finally we order : 1 sprite, 1 beer one fish croquette (very good in taste w/ a kind of Asian ginger sauce) . Total : $12.62 Service definitely could improve. ☆☆ Prices high for local standard☆☆ try hotels nearby.

Delicious food, fine quality, excellent service. Highly recommended! Enjoyed this place so much. Here again! Very delicious food! We will come back for sure!

Extremely expensive. Paella for two barely feeds one. Not enough rice limited amounts of chicken. Seafood shrimp look great but are served with the whole shell and head still on. Taste great but very little food. We would not go there again which is probably why we were the only table there at 7:30pm.
