Café Guanaco - Salt Lake City

Food is Amazing but the place is squetchy as hell. Get your food to go.

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 actually good. However avoid the yuca con chicharrones. I was disappointed at how horrible that dish was and surprised they decided to serve it to me the way it was. Pure pork fat. The service is okay, they forgot a lot of what we ordered and brought us food we didn’t order. Overall, I probably will look for pupusas elsewhere.

Yuca con chicharron over cooked and hard. Chicken tamal bad. Pupusas are just OK. Platano complete was the only good dish.

This is definitely the place to go for authentic Oaxacan food. The tamales de mole are delicious! The Horchata is an authentic recipe and of course the Tlayudas are a must have.
