I really enjoyed my experience at this restaurant. You first order your food at the counter and then choose your table.
Overall it is a somewhat casual dining experience and small enough that is not at all overwhelming. I decided on a steak sandwich and I also tried their sangria. They happened to run out of bread for the sandwich but somehow were able to acquire some so I think my sandwich was on a different kind than is typical. Nonetheless it was super tasty and I really enjoyed the sangria. I would enjoy coming again!

Went on a Friday for lunch, when I arrived the place was pretty empty. However, that changed quickly. I did make a reservation because it was suggested online but I am not sure if it’s needed during the lunch time hour. The place is pretty small so I can understand why it might be good to have a reservation if it’s crowded. With that being said the food was delicious. I have the shrimp rice bowl and we also ordered the Cuban sandwich. I assume based on what we ordered all the food is probably delicious. They did offer breakfast most of the day so I will give that a try next time. Will definitely be back in the near future.

My favorite restaurant used to be San Pedro in Hudson, but now it’s Guavas. Some of the most flavorful food I have ever had in my life and the vibe here is perfect! I can’t wait to go back!

Although I really wanted to love this place, after visiting a few times, I had to conclude that the food quality here was not spectacular. Depending on the item, some items were amazing, while others needed improvement. Regardless, I do think that people that live in the Twin Cities should at least pay this place a visit.
My favorite dishes were all the sandwiches, including the Cubano and the Pan Con Chicken, both of which made with all the key ingredients I could think of in a Cuban sandwich. The pulled pork, ham, and salami, along with the smashed buttery top, worked very well with the mayo and mustard seeds. The chicken one had cilantro aioli in there, which worked very well with the marinated chicken. My friend got the pollo a la plancha rice bowl, and was given a significant amount of food. I thought it was very generous because there was a lot of chicken.
Both the tres leches and the arroz con leche were very well-decorated. The tres leches had less of a milk taste and wasn’t very sweet, which could be an advantage for some and disadvantage for others. My partner had very positive things to say about the arroz con leche, calling it an amazing dessert.
The dish that I was the most critical about was the paella, which honestly seemed very sloppily made. I couldn’t really taste the saffron. There was very little chorizo, chicken, and shrimp, and three pieces of mussels & clams. Also, the rice was all clumped together and clearly not evenly cooked, and it was more evident as I ate the rice more.
I think that if the dishes were consistent in terms of quality, I would love this establishment a lot more. But even with that said, I still think this is a gem of a spot in South Minneapolis and recommend people visiting.

Food, service and atmosphere were perfection. We had the Cuban Sampler and shrimp rice bowl – we were overwhelmed by how delicious everything was. Only criticism is that the patio chairs could use some love. Can’t wait to go back (like, next week!)

Guava’s was very, very good! Parking was difficult, with most visitors needing to park on the street and sidewalks were slushy.
Ordering at the table from a QR code ourselves was not intuitive and the printed menu names of the dishes did not always match the online names, making ordering tedious. The online system did allow for some customization and everything we ordered with changes was delivered to our table accurately.
We enjoyed the Memphis Fries and Chips and Queso, but they were brought with our meal instead of as appetizers. We should have made that note in our order. Something to remember for the future! We ordered a root beer but were not offered refills, not sure if they were free or not. All food arrived hot and delicious. The Cubano was very rich but I couldn’t stop eating it. The Mac and Cheese and the Burracho Beans were large portions and we had to request to-go boxes for them. The pulled pork was served without any bun or bread and both of the barbecue sauce bottles were very spicy, but the pork had a delicious flavor and was juicy. Desserts were pricey and pictures made their portion sizes appear fairly small.

Delicious and underrated! There were 2 of eating and we had the sampler, the yuca, and the bravas. All were great, the tamale is especially delicious. Service was nice and attentive. The tres leches was also really well done and is definitely worth visiting for. Highly recommend and we’ll be visiting again! One of the best bites we’ve had in the twin cities!

I am in love with this restaurant! Atmosphere is very cute and cozy, the food is very authentic and extremely well-made, and the staff are very attentive and friendly. They also catered my sister’s wedding and the food there was also amazing. I will be coming here any chance I get when I’m in Minneapolis and highly recommend everyone to come here at least once.

Great restaurant! Authentic Cuban food. I ordered the ceviche, yuca fries, rice, and a Mexican coke. You place your order at the restaurant’s counter, and then they deliver the items. There’s a charming outdoor patio area where you can sit and eat. The food arrived pretty quickly, and everything was absolutely delicious. I would definitely return.
