cafe guanaco

extremely disappointing. cafe guanaco had rave reviews which is why we had such high hopes. but since i am from el salvador i can honestly say these were not stuffed more than other pupusas, the filling was dry, there were more burnt sections and crust than there should be. for a whole dollar more than the usual price ofpupusasi was extraordinarily aghast at the quality of them. definitely will not come again.

just tried it this noon. very tastypupusas(we got cheese, shrimp, and flower/cheese) with a spicy coleslaw and fresh juices (i got mango). fried bananas, too. not fast but very friendly staff with the food cooked then and there and served hot. tiny little inside and outside eating areas in what may originally have been a gas station, but very clean if no fancy "ambiance." i want to go back and try their typical breakfast, which she says they serve all day.

bestpupusasin utah!. do not pass by this place without stopping in sampling the great food here. don't be fooled by the hole-in-the-wall looks of the place. that doesn't matter. the food, the food, the food! and oh so affordable. try it you'll like it!

it may be a rare day when one says, “we should go out for salvadorian food,” but that could change if you’re stopped at the light at 500 east while driving west on 2700 south. glance out the window and you’ll see a distracting sight: a building on the corner with a banner for fernando’s cafe guanaco proclaiming “salvadorian food,” along with some hunger-inducing pictures. cafe guanaco’s specialty ispupusas—a traditional salvadorian dish made of a thick, handmade corn tortilla filled with a mixture of beans, meat and cheese—and you will find them here in abundance. at $2.15 each, you may think that you will need a fewpupusas—until you take your first bite. the dense tortilla is loaded with your chosen ingredients (pork, chicken, shrimp, steak and zucchini are available as the main filling); top it with a spicy slaw and some hot sauce, and you’ll be full. one

amazing my husband and i were feeling adventurous and wanted to stimulate our taste buds with something new. we have passed by this restaurant many times and due to the unanimous positive reviews on the place we decided to try it out. the owner was warm and welcoming, he takes pride in the quality of the food. we tried for the first timepupusasand were blown away. amazing flavors in a corn wrapping with a side of slaw and hot sauce. we also had the carne asada, which my husband declared as perfectly seasoned. another recommendation would be the horchata which had a different flavor than a traditional mexican horchata. overall amazing el salvadoran food, great quality, tantalizing flavors, and warm hospitality. we will definitely be back.

this place is a hole in the wall that is awesome. the food was really good. we ordered way too much, as the food was filling. we ordered a bunch if different items and everything we ate was phenomenal. we didn't know what apupusaswas before we arrived, now we plan to stop by for them at least once a month.

i can't believe it. bestpupusasin town. incredible. others don't hold a candle to this place. they are very moist other places sometimes maybe slightly larger but are dryer & more dough. moreover, this place has a greater variety.

also jose gave super good service. this is the place to get great value, service, & flavor!!

welll done

for el salvador, you ask anyone what they are known for, and the first and foremost answer would have to be pupusas.pupusasare basically grilled cakes stuffed with cheese, beans, and various meats or any combination of those.

soooo delicious! the pork, bean and cheesepupusaswere to die for!!!

love this place!. owner is super nice and the food is great. i love thepupusasand the fried yuca. it takes much less time to phone in your order for take-out, but then you wouldn't get to try the tropical fruity drinks that are amazing.

thepupusaswere very good and the mango drink was awesome. if you order the mango drink the large is massive. it's literally a full stein glass.

i'll be honest i'm very suspicious of restaurants that advertise pupusas. but this is a simple outfit with a authentic taste. awesome! this is a small gem of a place that i would recommend for sure. my wife hadpupusasand i had a beef infused soup with rice which was like how my grandma would make when i was sick. plus the corn tortillas which are hand made was amazing. nothing fancy. menu items limited. but sometimes it's nice to got somewhere where there's just a few good items and the few that they do, they do it good. this is a must try. you'll love it.
