Menestras del Negro is a popular local fastfood chain (they have a dozen or so outlets in Quito, and more in other cities around Ecuador). If they should decide that they have ambitions to enter the US market, though, I think they will have to do a bit of work on their marketing. Here is their signage:
I looked up menestras in Wikipedia, by the way, and they define it as a sort of vegetable stew (apparently the word may be related to minestrone) -- that appears to be the Spanish version. What this place offers, though is a plate of beans and white rice with a choice of meat. It's pretty good, about what one would expect from a cheap ($3.99) fastfood place.
