After a move to Deportivo Quito, Fidel debuted on October 16, 2010 against El Nacional. And scored his only goal of the season against ESPOLI. He would finish his debut season with 9 games, 1 goal and 1 assist.
2011 would prove to be Fidel's dream season, playing 30 games, assisted 5 times and scored 9 goals, 1 of which was scored in the 1st leg of the Serie A final against Emelec. Fidel scored his first goal of the 2011 season on May 14, against Quito club Espoli. He would later score 7 more league goals plus one vital finish past the Emelec goalkeeper.

On April 17, Fidel played a vital game against Mexican gianst Chivas de Guadalajara in a historic 5-0 win in which Fidel scored the 3rd goal at 65 minutes game time.
