At first I thought the place was a bit sketchy but the inside is actually quite lovely. It is unapologetically Latin American. The food was also incredible. The fries were freshly made, the tortas were also fresh, and the mango juice was made in house. Everything was made from scratch.

This Oxaqueno restaurant is really good. We tried their popusas, and they were good. I tried the grasshopper popusas, and it was weird. I did not find any flavor, but I just wanted to give it a try. The empanadas de leches are good; the horchata oaxaqueña and atole de elote are good. The place looks clean from the inside, and the customer service is great.

Pupusas were very good. Each was stuffed with beans and cheese. Salsa was spot on. The place was a bit of a hole in the wall but food was delicious.

While Café Guanaco’s food might be passable, the treatment we received and the shady practices we experienced were absolutely not. My family and I came for a meal but left feeling deceived and unwelcome, despite the restaurant eventually refunding us after a long and frustrating back-and-forth.
Here’s what happened: we decided to buy a toddler dress marked at $8. Before ringing it up, a staff member took it to the back, only to return with the price mysteriously raised to $10. They assumed, it seemed, that we wouldn’t notice or wouldn’t question it. We checked other dresses, all still priced at $8, and called them out on the switch.
After considerable discussion and with a lot of resistance on their part, they eventually refunded the entire charge on our card. However, the experience left us feeling targeted, both for our appearance and our lack of fluency in Spanish, as if they assumed we wouldn’t stand up for ourselves.
Despite their eventual attempt to make things right with the refund, I would never recommend Café Guanaco. The initial deception and the way we were treated aren’t things anyone should have to put up with. For a better experience with authentic food, I’d highly recommend Juanita’s on 271 W and 900 S instead.

My experiences here have been nothing short of fantastic. The experience is always pleasant and friendly. Everything is prepared fresh to order which makes the product taste incredible. I’ve had a few pupusas and they are always delicious and packed generously with whatever filling you order. The frijol is my favorite. I love the garnishes too. The spicy salsa is flavorful and bold and pairs perfectly with the flavor of the pupusa. Can’t recommend a visit enough.

The pupusas were wonderful and the cabbage and salsa to accompany was great. Very affordable for the quality. I personally loved the plantains and crema but my friend from Caribbean felt they were too soggy compared to what she’s used to.

I was so impressed with the food and service here. It is such a beautifully decorated and warm atmosphere. The hot chocolate was incredible and so were the popusas and tamales. We will be frequenting here, especially after a cold ski day!
