The hueca on 38th Street.

hueca — Ecuadorian, informal. The small neighborhood place everyone already knows about, where the food is the reason you came.

Espresso and fresh-pressed juice up front. Sandwiches named after cities. Ecuadorian plates from home. Open six days on the corner of 38th.

The Spritz Cafe storefront window, with the round logo decal etched on the glass, an OPEN sign hanging inside, and a latte in a black cup resting on the window ledge.

The three you can't get down the block

Coffee that arrives a color you didn't expect.

Butterfly pea flower, activated charcoal, and horchata-infused espresso. Hot or iced, 12 to 20 oz.

An iced Blue Moon Latte in a clear cup with the round blue Spritz Cafe label, deep indigo settling up through pale blue into milk.

Blue Moon Latte

Butterfly pea · lavender · milk

Blue butterfly pea flower tea and lavender poured over steamed milk, so it lands in layers and stays that way until you stir it.

An iced Midnight Latte in a clear cup with the round blue Spritz Cafe label, near-black charcoal espresso marbling up into milk.

Midnight Latte

Activated charcoal · espresso · milk

Activated charcoal espresso and steamed milk. Nearly black at the bottom of the cup, and it does not taste like it looks.

An iced Horchata Compa Cappuccino in a clear cup with the round blue Spritz Cafe label, warm cinnamon cream with a cinnamon stick on top.

Horchata Compa

Horchata-infused espresso · milk

Espresso infused with horchata, then capped with foam. The one regulars order iced in a 20 and take back out the door.

Breakfast · Sandwiches · Wraps

Every sandwich is named after a city.

Nobody at the counter can tell you why. Order the Philadelphia and you get shaved steak; order the Puebla and you get chipotle chicken. You learn the map fast.

From the kitchen · Ecuador

The part of the menu that made it a hueca.

Traditional Ecuadorian plates, cooked the long way. Ask what's on today — this side of the menu moves.

Encebollado

Albacore, yuca, red onion and cilantro in a savoury broth, with lime and plantain chips on the side. Ecuador's hangover cure and its national argument.

Guatita

Tender beef tripe and potatoes in a rich peanut sauce, finished with fresh herbs.

Bollo

Masa dough filled with seasoned fish, peanuts, onion and rice, wrapped in plantain leaves and steamed.

Cazuela

Green plantain and peanut thickened with seafood, seasoned through and served hot in the dish it cooked in.

Caldo de salchicha

Pork sausage, hominy, yuca and plantain in broth, with fresh cilantro over the top.
