" Los Guanacos was a mixed bag. The food was tasty, but we had to wait quite a while for our order to be taken and even longer for our food. Disappointing, considering how hungry we were! The pupusas didn’t blow my mind, they were good but I've had better elsewhere. I appreciated the friendly service from the staff, but the wait times need improvement. Perhaps I would consider returning for a second try on a less busy day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Walking into Los Guanacos felt like stepping into a family gathering. The atmosphere is casual yet welcoming. We ordered pupusas and they were scrumptious! Rich flavors and generous portion sizes made up for the long wait, which was worth it. The staff was busy but managed to keep a friendly demeanor. If you're looking for real Salvadoran food, this is your spot! Can't wait for my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food! I loved the variety of pupusas available. We had quadrupas, pupusas revueltas, and they were fantastic! Just the right amount of stuffing, and the crispy outside was the best part. However, I felt the atmosphere could be more vibrant and lively. Although the service was attentive, it took a while for our drinks to arrive. Overall, it was a solid choice for authentic Salvadoran food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Los Guanacos for lunch, and it was a lovely outing. The staff was gracious and helpful, and the food was impressive.

A definite win for Salvadoran cuisine lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place hits the spot for authentic Salvadoran food! I ordered the pupusas and was pleasantly surprised by the generous size and the rich flavors. The salsa was seriously spicy, just the way I like it! The atmosphere gives off a homey vibe, perfect for enjoying a meal. The service was consistent throughout the night, with our waitress checking on us often. I can't wait to go back to try more items from the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Guanacos truly embodies Salvadoran cuisine! Every bite of the pupusas made me feel like I was back in El Salvador, filled to perfection and bursting with authentic taste. The service was smooth and attentive, and the dining area was clean and inviting. I had the yuca frita as well, which was a fabulous addition to my meal. A fantastic pick for anyone seeking solid Salvadoran flavors. I will be coming back every weekend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Los Guanacos is a treasure! Walking through the door feels like entering a cozy home filled with delicious smells. Their yuca frita is a must-try—crispy on the outside and tender inside, it served as a perfect companion to the unbelievably good pupusas. I was impressed with how generous they were with the ingredients; the portions were hearty without being overwhelming. I can’t recommend this place enough; it’s a slice of Salvadoran culture that should not be missed. Can’t wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)
