Love! Came in here after an evening of pickleball at Lake Nokomis. For a Wednesday night, it was lively and the food was so good. My partner and I shared the Chicharron de Pollo and every part of the plate was amazing. I love plantains! It’s great vibes for a date night. I’ll be coming back for the patio this summer too!

Came for a late breakfast and coffee by myself around 11 on a Thursday. First thing I noticed was the restaurant was dark and awkwardly quiet. No music playing just quiet chatter from a couple small groups. Felt like they hadn’t opened yet. Staff seemed to be prioritizing other concerns over customers waiting to order.Cell service in this area is bad so I asked for the WiFi password. They don’t offer WiFi. What year is this?Ordered the Vaca Frita Hash add avocado and an Iced Americano. The hash looked amazing and was delivered quickly. Unfortunately it had little to no flavor. I doused it in hot sauce and ate it for the calories. The Iced Americano was good.Overall, very disappointing. Definitely not a 4.7 rating. Must have been an off day so I’ll come again for lunch/dinner.

Food, service and drinks were soooo good!! The tres leche latte was perfect & not too sweet (which I think people can think it would be). I had the breakfast sanguich and it as freshly made. The yuca with aioli was delish, the aioli is so fresh and light.

What a fantastic spot! We've been here many times and have ordered different things and every time on point. The paella is great, the maduros, the ropa vieja, the bowls, the yucca fries. You can't go wrong if this is type of food is what you're craving hit up Guavas.

Place a pickup order and they tell you 25 mins to show up and say the ticket wasn’t printed. Used to go here weekly but won’t be back

I love this place and have been going here regularly for three years. Great breakfast and incredible Cubano holy moly. It has a relaxed atmosphere but is still very vibey without being distracting. Not a place for uptight people. Wish it was open a little earlier, or had a west metro location so I could stop by before work ?

I love this hidden gem! I discovered it about a year ago while going to the chiropractor next door. I stopped in for lunch and now I go back every monthly when I have my chiropractor appointments. It never disappoints. The food is amazing. Great coffee. Staff is always friendly and accommodating. 10/10 recommend!!!
