11 years of El Inca Plebeyo! 🇪🇨🚀🥳
What a way to celebrate! 🍾
2 weeks ago we took our anniversary celebration across London on a Latin party bus! A night full of music, dancing, laughter and unforgettable moments!
But more than a celebration, it was a reminder of why we started this journey. Thank you to everyone who continues to believe in and support this project, and our mission to share Ecuadorian gastronomy, culture and identity in London and beyond.
Every dinner, every event and ever person who supports us helps us take a little piece of Ecuador further and higher 🇪🇨😊
And a special thank you to Isra Chávez for capturing these moments so beautifully and turning an incredible night into memories we can keep forever! 📸
11 years of Ecuador in London! ❤️
