    Friendly service, at times a bit of a communication problem since I only speak 3 words of Spanish…read moreand our waitress not much English. But since the menu has both languages, we were able to come ot an agreement. For starters you get some white bread and some sort of green sauce to dip it in. Love that green sauce whatever it may be. The portion sare quite large and most dishes are starch heavy. Potatoes & Rice, or pasta & potato and so on. While there are no Guinea Pigs on this menu (thank goodness), you can find things such as beef heart or octopus and mussels. I had #37 I believe it's called Camarones Ajilos, but don't quote me on that. It came with Shrimp in a delicate sauce, fries, white rice and a little salad all on one plate. All of it delicious. I was there with part of my dining group of course and while everyone ordered a different dish, I heard no complaints at all.

    If you like to try different cultures food and MP to your list. Very cute, casual space. Don't let…read morethe strip mall location stop you. They have a large menu with something for everyone. This was definitely a situation that every dish that came out I kept thinking Oh I want that one! Especially some of the fried rice dishes as they were huge portions. I did totally enjoy mine though! Picante De Mariscos- Shrimp, octopus, squid, mussels, cooked with Peruvian spices. Served with a side of rice. Delicious! I'd love to try some of the ceviche's next visit.

    It has been forever since I last reviewed this spot. It is still a small family restaurant, so if…read moreyou bring in a larger group, reservations are encouraged and a bit of patience, since there isn't a whole lot of staff. The food is absolutely delicious. I personally love their pork dishes and the beef empanada for an appetizer. The moro rice as well as the yellow rice are both so tasty. I prefer the sweet plantains over the tostones, but that's just my preference. And don't forget to indulge in a dessert or maybe a Cuban coffee after your meal. I tend to bring my foodie group here regularly and while they are a picky bunch, I have not heard any complaints about the food here. The prices are still very reasonable and the service friendly.

    Edit: ALSO how absurd is it that they tried giving us our Yucca WITHOUT mojo. If youre cuban you…read moreknow you do not eat boiled Yucca without mojo (unless you just dont like it which is crazy) and when we asked if it came with it she said "well i mean.. i can add it on the side for yall" like as if its not the usual/it was an inconvenience. The food was edible. The people serving and making the food are not Cuban and have a really hostile attitude. We were immediately seated and our food came out rather quick (15-20) minutes after placing the order. The lady the entire time was almost rushing us and trying to get us to order more than what we wanted. The food was hot but did not have a fresh/authentic taste coming from a Cuban.. At the end of it we were overall satisfied with our food and were paying when the lady took the paying machine from my husband insisting he tipped %15. He was tipping a custom amount to make the amount even but she said it was usual for people to leave %15. He asked if it was obligation to select the %15 option or if he could put the custom amount he wanted and she said he could put whatever but people usually put %15.. My husband then paid no mind to it because she was just confused probably thinking he was going to pay less than %15 percent. She then grabbed the machine and his card and said "No. Don't. It doesn't matter," had him pay, and stormed back into the kitchen saying "Next time i will put it in there myself." There wont be a next time, at least not from us. I was very disappointed with the service at this restaurant.

    The food is absolutely delicious at La Guanaquita. We stopped far a quick lunch yesterday. They…read moreserve mostly Salvadoran food but also other Latin foods. They were busy at lunch with eat-in and carry-out orders. The parking lot was full. But we're we're able to get a table for two. When we came in, they called out their English speaking server, Karla. Karla was supper friendly and attentive. I had two of their special pupusas. They were served with limes, sauce and curcido, which is a spicy marinated cabbage mix. The shrimp pupusas is stuffed with bits of shrimp mixed with a generous amount of creamy cheese. The chicken pupusas was filled with a lot of chicken and small amount of cheese. Both pupusas were excellent. I also had a chicken taco, which was a pretty standard Street taco. The chicken was moist and yummy. The restaurant and parking lot could use some love. The dining room could use a coat of fresh paint and have ceiling tiles repaired. The parking lot needs to have potholes fixed and could use some lines. That said, I'd come back in a heartbeat. The food is that good.

Our visit was during the 8am breakfast scene and we enjoyed a feast of pupusas, curtido, beans, yucca, plantains and chicharrones. All were hearty and delicious. The space is full of natural light and welcoming. We noticed that you can order fresh smoothies thanks to their partnership with the juice/ice cream shop next door (or possibly owned by the same folks?). The staff was also incredibly friendly and we loved the opportunity to only speak Spanish during our visit. Can't wait for our next visit!

    So glad to have found this great pupuseria! Nice variety of menu at reasonable prices and tasty…read morepupusas! I arrived there at night and for a second they were closed because their restaurant name sign was not lit, but they did have the "open" sign lit so I went inside. They have very minimal decorations inside- no music, just a TV on really loud. But many times this type of places are a hit than a miss! (Based on my experience) I ordered a few pupusas and tacos to go and was told the food would be ready in 10 minutes- however it took 35 minutes. it's okay if they are busy but I think they could have just told me at one point it would take much longer than expected. There seemed to be just two people working there. There was someone who was waiting longer than I was. It was very cold inside which did not help when I was waiting for so long. I was disappointed with the wait time, however the pupusas were amazing. The hot sauce and slaw(?) that came with them were great too. I especially liked the one with chicken and cheese. In the future I will always call ahead of time to place an order rather than waiting there, and I advise everyone to do so.

I drove by here all the time and then heard it was featured on Diners, Drive-In's, and Dives. I had been curious to try it out for a while now and I finally logged a couple visits. At the moment, they're only open for the drive through and curbside pickup while they're under construction to introduce indoor seating. I suppose I'll have to visit again to be able to rate the ambiance. I've had friendly interactions with both times I came. One time, I had the food brought out to my car, while the other time I had to drive back around to pick up my order. Both times, I got the empanada combo and that was well worth it! For $17 you get three empanadas, some churros and Dulce de leche, and house made kettle chips. I'll rank my favorite empanadas in order: Oreo cheesecake (oh yeah, you read that right!) Birria Argentine chorizo Creamy chicken S'mores Cheesy pineapple bacon These are all great. This was a hard list to make. I would definitely recommend all of them if you have the chance to order more. I also want to try all the empanadas on their menu eventually. The kettle chips are on the less salty side, which I prefer. I think they have a hint of sweetness to them. The churros... on their own they're pretty decent but the Dulce included? Next level. I always save my leftover Dulce to find something else to dip in it. How I have leftover is beyond me but I won't complain! Overall, I think Che Chori has a pretty expansive menu, considering that empanadas, burgers, and pizza are very different things. I'm not sure how the others stack up, but I will definitely be back for the rest of the empanadas!
