Nice variety on the menu, specializing in crepes, empanadas, and tamales. The signature French onion soup should not be missed.

I rarely write reviews, and when I do, they are typically positive. However, after reaching out to the La Guinguette website's comments page with my feedback and not receiving a response, I felt it necessary to share my experience. Our group of four dined there on a Friday evening, and the food was delightful. Tracy was our server, and we ordered appetizers, entrees, desserts, cocktails, and a bottle of their most expensive wine. When the check was presented, I noticed that a gratuity of over 20% was already included. This is not in line with the restaurant's stated policy, and when I questioned it, I received no response. I urge others to be cautious. If they allow this practice, I wonder what other areas one should be wary of. I waited two weeks for a response before deciding to share my thoughts in this review.

So many wonderful items on the menu to choose from. Had a savory crepe- delicious! Ate on the back porch. A delightful experience. Will go back for the french onion soup !

Excellent service, wonderful food, relaxed ambience. We completely enjoyed ourselves. This was our second visit will return again.

They have vegan options, but the quality is not great. Maybe their nonvegan food has better quality, don't know.

The french onion soup is perfection. Don't skip an appetizer board. The tamales and empanadas are delicious, as are the fillings for the crepes. I'm not a fan of the buckwheat flour used to make the crepes, but it doesn't stop me from returning every time I'm in the area. The atmosphere is perfect for a solo dinner, bringing my daughter and her roommate on family weekend, or a cozy date night. The playlist and volume are so thoughtful and the staff are kind and attentive.

Beautiful place for a delicious dinner on the patio. The servers were very helpful and friendly. The food was very tasty. Start your meal with the French onion soup (you can’t go wrong with the rest of the menu). Bon appetit & que rico!

We decided to try here because of the various menu options. Got lucky just walking in, but I’d recommend making reservations as it is a very small restaurant. The food and service was excellent, everyone really enjoyed their meal.

This was such a great little spot. Tracy was awesome! I love the mix of French and Latin cuisine. I've got a couple of picky eaters with me, but they took the chance to make my happy. All of the food was delicious!

TLDR: Go somewhere else.
Picture it: Wednesday night before the Fourth and Black Mountain is busy. We walk in at 6:30, expecting there to be a little wait. The smells of garlic and butter knock us over, but we are not deterred. Even as we look around and notice… there are only two full tables in the whole restaurant, we try to catch the hostesses eye.
Nope, she ignores us completely. A minute passes while we patiently wait for her to wrap up her call - still no acknowledgment that we are standing in front of her - and then she waves someone down from the kitchen. They look at my family of five and then at the hostess and say, “do you have a reservation?”
“We don’t,” I say pleasantly. She says they are full. Um, what now? Is it a 7pm rush? They took one look at my family and turned us away. It was embarrassing and rude. My kids wanted to compare the Black Mountain crepes with the ones they loved from Paris, but no go.
Maybe just don’t go with kids? We’ll never know.
