Do not leave without checking your togo order . They'll give you whatever they want. Not what you've ordered. Rude service when you call to tell them about it

Restaurante Panaderia Puro Sabor Guanaco offers a mix of experiences centered on its Salvadoran food. The pupusas, especially the pupusas revueltas special on Thursdays, are frequently described as incredible, excellent, and great, with a good portion size. The salsa and the traditional cabbage "coleslaw" are highlighted as impressive and rather good. Specific meals like empanadas, fried plantains, and horchata are also noted as delicious. The food is consistently praised for being nice and hot, browned to perfection, and not burnt.
However, there are significant criticisms. The bread has been found to be hard and stale. The menu system is very confusing, with no prices listed anywhere and only photos on the wall, making it difficult to order and leading to concerns about being overcharged, with some finding the pupusas a bit overpriced. Communication is poor, making it hard to inquire about vegetarian options like bean and cheese or squash and cheese pupusas, though the beans seemed vegetarian. The atmosphere receives mixed notes; it has much improved El Salvador images showing cultural pride, but the lack of air conditioning, relying on fans, can be disruptive. Service varies from slow to fast, with waiting times from 10 to 30 minutes for orders, though the staff and cashiers are consistently described as kind, nice, and providing great, top-tier customer service. It is considered a good small local restaurant to support over big chains.
