Guacuco is a gem in Bed Stuy known for its delicious food based on sweet corn. The portions are a bit small for the price, but the tasty dishes more than make up for it. The ambiance is cheerful, creating a perfect atmosphere for a fun and relaxed night out. The staff is welcoming and energetic, providing remarkable service that keeps customers coming back. The vegetarian empanada is fabulous, and the empanadas de cazón are also a favorite. The rum punch is amazing, while the tequeños, including those with guava, are great additions to the menu. The Pabellon Criollo is good, though some find the flavor a little too sweet. The shredded beef is so flavorful, and the arepas are steaming hot, moist, and have a bit of a crunch. The empanadas are worth every second of waiting—stuffed full of well-seasoned shredded beef, creamy black beans, salty cheese, and balanced with sweet plantains. The magical green sauce is exceptional as well. The place gives off a very friendly neighborhood favorite vibe, with Latin music blasting and joyful laughter filling the room. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch, brunch, or a special date night. Guacuco definitely stands out from others nearby and is worth a visit whenever in the neighborhood or even worth making a trip specifically to dine here.
