Everything about this place is amazing, Me and my man we drive almost two hours from Denver just to go eat here. We first went based on the reviews and ever since we decided to stop by and give it a try we have not been dissapointed. My man is from P.R he loves how he has a piece of the island here. I love going and trying a new dish, I go for the specials. Honestly the food is very home made, even the drinks. Everyone is very kind and give us a very hospitality feeling. The drive is very well worth it. I'm Mexican and I have fallen in love with Puerto Rican food. I love the chicken empanadas, they have a spicy sauce Me encanta! Place is clean and the portions, well be ready to take home some and enjoy the food at home as well. I can't wait until they open a spot in Denver. 100% recommend! read more

Service was quick and fast. Everyone was super nice. Amazing Puerto Rican vibes as a Puerto Rican. The empanadillas were amazing and they had amazing fresh fruit juices. read more

Don Guillo - Emapanadillas - Puerto Rican Near Me - Colorado Springs, Colorado

Delicious!!! Omg I've never tried Puerto Rican food before and why haven't I?! So yummy!! We started off with beef empanadas perfectly seasoned & crispy not at all greasy so good!! We also had the fried cheese with guava dip OMG!! A revelation the cheese block was crispy and so soft and pillowy with a light flavor then you dip it in the guava - perfection!! I had maracuya (passion fruit) juice and a fried pork (kind of similar to carnitas) that was delicious with pickled onion and fresh avocado & Puerto Rican rice. Really good - it had gandules in it (little beans) or pidgeon peas- they taste very similar to lentils only they are a little rounder & a little bigger - I really enjoyed them. It also had cilantro in it. My husband had a strewed pork plate (pork loin) with the pickled onions, rice & sweet plantains (how I love them!!) his was also very good. My daughter the shrimp & mofongo with the garlic sauce and salad (that garlic sauce was Amazing!) The place is on a corner in a shopping center so easy to find, service is a little slow because it's a small place but they are on top of things & the quality is there! It's very clean, they are all extremely nice & very helpful. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you want to taste something new - freshly made with pride and service with a smile, read more

Delicious Puertorrican food. Small place but so flavorful. Had arroz con gandules, pernil, maduros and mofongo with caldo. It was all very tasty and authentic. Staff was very friendly. We signed our name on their wall. The coconut flan was so flavorful. Wish I had room to try more. read more

Being married to a Puerto Rican who is an amazing cook, I always have extremely high standard for PR food, this place hit all expectations and more. The minute you walk in you are greeted with that amazing Puerto Rican friendly warm culture that really makes you feel like family. Very nice and updated inside, not a lot of seating so could be an issue when busy and would imagine they get pretty busy because the food is so good. We went way overboard on the order but glad we did, everything was amazing, fresh imported Morcilla from the Island, Empanadillas, Queso Frito, Yuca Fries, Tostones, Carne Frita, Churrasco, Mofongo, fresh made Limber, Tres Leches. This is the closet to real Island PR food. My wife was so impressed with everything, said she felt like she was back on her Island. Whether you have had PR food before or not go try this place asap! read more

From the moment I walked inside I knew I was in for a treat. They greeted me with a warm hello and didnt bat an eye when I answered with Spanish slang. The promise of Puerto Rican goodness and the music made me revert to my teenage Spanglish. I had dinner for one, as my worst trip friend was busy that night - but I have thought about that dinner for the last month! Arroz mamposteao, pollo a la plancha. tostones and jugo de parcha - everything was AMAZING. And not just in the "I haven't had this food lately" way. On my way out. I bought dessert to go. This will be a must stop everytime I'm in the springs! read more

Passing through the Springs, we had dropped our friend off at the airport. Next was food. We do try to select local spots and not chains as much as possible when traveling. The food was soooooooo succulent and flavorful!! The mango salsa was nice and HOT!! Service was great. Order to go at the counter or have a seat and someone will come take your order as we did. Lots of locals do to-go I noticed. It's a mellow place with chill ambiance. 2 rooms in a plaza next to a liquor store. One of the two rooms had walls tagged with markers from locals. That's the ordering side with the counter. The other side, the seating area had cleaner walls with a few murals of Puerto Rico nostalgia. Definitely coming back next time passing through! read more

Food was AMAZING. Hefty portions and great prices. Will definitely be back! I would only say to give dining in customers metal utensils as it was hard to cut meat. Other than that 10/10 read more

Walked in and asked the receptionist for a recommendation for dinner. She opened the box of another order and suggested this, so I got it. I also ordered a passion fruit fruit drink and was quite happy with both! Very tasty food. The entree was $13, and the drink was $4.50. She included a couple of sauces with my order, and both were very flavorful and memorable. One was a white sauce type, and the other was a spicy sauce. I used them both! The outside of this little hole in the wall is easy to miss, and the parking lot is jam-packed with other businesses. There are a few tables inside, which were all full. My one complaint is that there was one very large chunk of just fat in my order. No meat, just fat. I'm not sure if this was intentional, but I don't really enjoy a mouthful of rubbery fat. Maybe some people do? I'm not sure, but I will likely be a returning customer! read more

Wow this is an amazing place for Puerto Rican fare. I have only had Puerto Rican food once or twice but this is really good. Service is great and they are super friendly and helpful. We got their specials which change daily. We basically got a mofongo with fried pork on top and had teriyaki sauce it was good but the sauce was a bit salty. The pork was great though and the mofongo was very tasty and well seasoned. The other dish we got was a fried chicken breast which was fried well but not seasoned much so it was probably our least favorite thing. It came with tostones which was nice and crispy. We were also given a mayo ketchup and passion fruit hot sauce which I enjoyed a lot! You can get more if you like. The beef empanada we got was freshly fried and nice. For dessert we got a guava flan which was a bit different than what we expected but still enjoyed it though. The texture tasted a bit more like cheesecake so it's a bit dense but we liked the taste the more we ate it. Overall a great hole in the wall place with authentic food and sweet service. read more

I have never had Puerto Rican food before and wow, I was missing out! I found out about Don Guillo from a couple who sat down at a park table with me with their Don Guillo takeout. My hubby and I went there a few days later and had the special: grilled chicken with the most amazing spices, a salad with pickled onions done in-house and rice with amazing spices. We also had the fried cheese appetizer. The grilled chicken was so large that I had to take half of it home for later. Definitely recommend and we will be back. read more

Even though I live in Denver, I go down to Don Guillo when I am able to. The staff and owner have always been above board and so helpful. Love the food, and will continue to go back as much as possible. Hopefully they will find a way to open up a Restaurant in the Denver area. read more

As time goes by, their food gets better. Last time I had papas loca with steak and it was chewy. Now their menu has changed a bit and I fell in love with their chicharrones de pollo. Their side dish, Mampo, is amazing with great flavor. Their arroz con pollo dish is massive and delicious. They didn't disappoint me at all. read more

Good old customer service and a family like feel! The food was made to order and the was delicious. This was my first time having Puerto Rican food and will return! The f you haven't tried this place I highly recommend you do! ¡Buen servicio al cliente y una sensación familiar!

Si no has probado este lugar, ¡te recomiendo encarecidamente que lo hagas! read more

Sooooooo good! Always so friendly and always so kind. The restaurant itself is very cool and very culturally rich. My wife and I absolutely love eating here. Whether we're eating in or taking our food to go, this is one of my favorite spots to go to after I've gotten back from a work trip. Gracias a la gente de Don Guillo! Siempre está tan rica, la comida! Y muy amable la gente que trabaja aquí! Que Dios sigue bendiciendo este restaurante y la gente q trabajan aquí! read more

Amazing amazing food! 10/10! First time eating here we are from out of state and found this place on google and I'm so happy we found this spot. Customer service was also amazing. Owner is so sweet. Big portions for each person which is also great for the price. Well WORTH IT! MUST TRY! Empanadas were so good as well! Authentic Puerto Rican food! Didn't get a picture of everything we ordered but give this place a shot!! read more

CAN I GET A "weeeeepa!"..? What can I say about Don Guillo than hasn't been said already? Listen (or read up), if you are hungry and want a lot of delicious food for an incredibly reasonable price in a clean and friendly atmosphere, look no further...this is your place! You know what, if you are alive and need to consume food to survive, come here! Furthermore, if you want to spend money for quality AND quantity, come here! Basically, don't think about it any more and just come here! I lived in Colorado Springs for about a year and a half and every two weeks, like a culinary communion, I would stop at Don Guillo, order food for the entire family, and ensure that both my tummy and my heart were happy for the rest of the weekend. We've since moved to Charlotte and Don Guillo's food is STILL a topic of conversation (1+ years later at the time of this review). If I have anything "not positive" to say is that they should open a second location in Charlotte, NC! read more

This restaurant offered a good variety of Puerto Rican dishes. I had a passion fruit drink with the shrimp mofongo in garlic sauce. The mofongo and shrimp were good and the portion was generous. I was expecting the garlic sauce to be oil based but instead it was milk based. I didn't like the sauce. I also preferred the passion fruit juice to have a little more sweetness. The employee was friendly and the atmosphere was very much like back on the island. The dining room space is limited and also the parking lot. read more

Service is great but the food was average. The rice had too much condiments and strong taste that gave me and my wife heartburn and the meats were hard and over priced $50.00 for two people. They need to ask and accept any constructive criticism from the clients because the place is not that bad. Good Luck read more

It too 4 trips to get to this place before it closed. The hours of operations are limited. They close at 6 pm, not 7, as was on the Yelp/Google page. They are also closed on Monday. The service was amazing. The food was great. I had the modongo and they served it with a chicken broth. It was savory and delicious. I also had the plátanos maduros and the coconut flan. It was fantastic. I recommend trying them for lunch or very early dinner. read more

Oh my goodness, first time trying this place. Let me tell y'all this is legit. I tried the blood sausage for the first time and they were amazing. We then had the garlic shrimp, pernil the portions are not small, we could not finish our food. The prices are not bad at all for the amount of food you get. Everything was out of this world, crazy good, don't know how to even describe it. But as good as the food was the services was even better. They explain everything in the event you don't speak-o or habla. Check my peeps out for sure read more

Arguably the best plate of food you will find in Colorado Springs... you can't go wrong with ANY THING on the menu. Everything slaps, everything is delicious. Literally close your eyes and point. You won't go wrong. I'm half boricua and I lived in the USVI. I've got family still in PR and this reminds me of their cooking. Especially my mom. Must haves: Carne fritas (with the pickled red onions and mojito), pollo de chicharrón, Arroz Gandules (saturdays only), parcha (passion fruit agua fresca)... read more

Delicious authentic food. Finally got to try it, and it's totally worth it. Recommend a try, and they have great customer service. Would say a little pricey but support local! read more

Being from New York with plenty of Puerto Rican and Dominican food, it's hard to find THAT taste. This was it.

Best PR food in town, but it's not easy to place a pick up order. It would be nice & easier if there was a website and or a dedicated person to pick up the phone for pickup orders. The customer service is superb and the decor is really cute!! read more

As a Puerto Rican, I approve. I drive from Denver to come sight see Colorado Springs and enjoy my favorite Antojitos. The alcapurria, carne frita, & empanadillas are good asf. read more

Easily the best Puerto Rican food in Colorado. But, honestly, probably the best overall dining experience in Colorado Springs out of any kind of food Ive had. And I grew up here! Just incredible. We just tried their new shrimp and lobster empinadas. OMFG!!! Chimichuri sauce...freaking amazing. Those little pickled red onions...wow!! But the chicharrones de pollo will change your life. read more
