Los Guanacos

Lots of thing to consider here. First, the food is great and is freshly made. So 5 stars there. The problem is that the place is a bit of a hole. Like many restaurants in strip malls in Houston, if feel like some updating can be done. You know to make the place feel newer and clean then some run down place with many water stains on the ceiling etc. While this is kinda the norm in Houston, I wish it would change. When we went, it was crazy hot inside and I think an AC was broken. It was like 83 or 84 inside which made the super long wait for the made from scratch food miserable. Staff is always pretty friendly - so no complains there. Long story short, it will be a long wait for food. But it's really good and freshly made. Just hope that you don't have to wait while they have AC issues. Overall, totally worth visiting.

This place has some of the best pupusas I have ever had. Love the change of moral in the store. The servers are super nice, quick & efficient. Pay attention to detail and has a nice atmosphere, love all of the renovations that have been made.

I went here because all the other places to get pulidas were closed. Pupilas were 7/10. The bean and cheese had had a small filling to masa ratio. A little better with the revueltas. Their pickled slaw was actually pretty good. The atmosphere when I walked in there was like a backyard Mexican bbq lol(I'm Mexican btw). Good food, but with the competition in Houston, this place is B tier for me.

Our witress forgot simple things like straws with canned sodas, ketchup for french fry orders for the kids, and even silverware for plates that required them. The pupusas were bland, the ones of chicharron and queso were almost all queso with barely any chicharron. Our pupusa orders got mixed up between guests. Will not be coming back.Nuestra mesera se le olvido cosas simples como bahias para loas sodas de lata, salsa ketchup para las papitas fritas de los niños, y hasta tenedores y cuchillos para los platos. Las pupusas estaban muy simples, y las de chicharron y queso eran casi todo queso con casi ningun chicharron. Las ordenes de pupusas se confudieron y se revolvieron entre la mesa. No regresaremos..

Not sure how people are raving about how great the pupusas are here, but apparently they are not familiar with a great pupusa. Anyhow, this place was not as busy for it to take amore then 40 minutes to get our food. Once we got our food, we had one little small container of curtido (slaw that goes over the pupusas) for all of us. Mind you, in total it was about 8 or 10 pupusas that were ordered. When we asked the waitress for more because it was only enough for one order, she said sarcastically that she would bring the whole jar. Took her close to 10 minutes for her to come back with another small container. But, lets disregard that for a second, lets talk about flavor. For all that time that we had to wait for the order, I was expecting for the food to have it. It was very bland. I typically order revueltas (mixed stuffing) and everywhere I have gone, you can always taste that rich flavor. To tell you the truth, on these, I can honestly say that there was none. I felt like I was eating a tortilla stuffed with cheese. The tomato sauce was also very watery and lacking flavor. Once we were done, we asked for to go boxes and the check. 5 minutes pass by, another waitress asks us how we were doing, told her that we were waiting on boxes and check, nothing. A 3rd waitress asks us the same thing, and at that point I told her that she was the 3rd one to ask and our answer has been the same with no results of getting the boxes and check. Which means all that time, we waited there for a good 12 minutes just to get the boxes but no check. Once we packed, I instead went up to the counter and told our waitress that I was ready to run out and not pay since she never wanted to bring the check to us. Which she said jokingly that she would've chased us outside to pay which I in returned answered that I doubted it since she never bothered to give us the check and same would've been for her to collected the amount.Never again! Don't even bother.

My girlfriend and I came here after the missus was craving pupusas. So we ordered a handful. And a half. (Many many pupusas). The pupusas were delicious and tasty, and though a bit greasy, it was nothing out of the ordinary. The only reason this place isn't getting five stars is due to two reasons:1) I have only tried one thing (and perhaps this review will change to a 5 star rating once I try more things). 2) The pupusas were a lot smaller than what I have previously received at other pupuserias and though the taste was good, there is another pupuseria (by gulfton) that had even better taste and bigger pupusas (for the same price). Overall: I would recommend coming here; however, thats solely due to the pupusas (as it's the only thing I've tried). They're good!

Great authentic El Salvadoran spot. We have been coming here for years and the food is always great. Always fresh, so if your in a hurry you need to chill because they are making it from scratch. If you have never tried El Salvadoran food this place a great spot. Also watch out for the hot sauce they set on the table, it's made with habanero. A little goes a long way.

I was looking for pupusas in the area and this restaurant was close. I ordered five cheese and loroco pupusas to go. The staff is friendly. The pupusas lacked cheese and they were crispy in some sections. They were generous with the tomato salsa and curtido (cabbage). Unfortunately, there are better pupusas out there.

First time eating here and it's not bad really nice people. The food was excellent just what I expected. I had the spinach with cheese , pork with cheese and the beans with cheese and the we're good.oh and the coffee you need to try their coffee

Its open til 9 not 10 on sundays. We came all the way for pupusas to find it closed. So didn't try it
