★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Estefani · Jul 2024

If i could leave a one star review, I would. I only came to this restaurant since it was near my house. I ordered 3 pupusas and sopa de res. The 3 pupusas was fine but the sopa de res is just not good at all. I ordered to go and paid $16 for the soup. It’s purely all vegetables barely any of the soup itself. In other restaurants they give you more of everything all together. This one is just all vegetables barely any meat as you can see and the smallest piece of corn. Not even a side of rice to put in the soup. I do not recommend buying this as you will just be wasting your money. Especially if it’s to go since they just fill the cup all up with vegetables. I called to complain about it and while I was speaking with the lady on the phone she hung up on me. Very unprofessional and rude. Hop

Terrible food quality, and kind of expensive for the amount of food they serve. I've been to this location a few times, and there's always something wrong with my orders. This time, I wanted to try their Tacos Dorados, and they gave just fried tortilla with a bunch of nonsense cabbage, I really do not recommend this restaurant. If you can call it like this, they just want to rip off your packets

I ordered the birria tacos and they were fantastic! The beef was very delicious and juicy, the taco shell perfectly fried. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful. They have great spanish/Latino music that made the experience fun. I highly recommend Guanaquito!

No frills quiet restaurant. The birria tacos tasted better than the pupusas. The pupusas were thin and the mix lacked flavor.
