El Guanaco Taqueria Y Antojitos — Restaurant in Oakland Park

I was excited to try this restaurant but left highly unsatisfied. First, I went on Taco Tuesday and ordered the all you can eat tacos. My first round included the chicken, al pastor, chorizo, carnitas and steak tacos. The tacos were a HUGE disappointment and were completely DRY! The only decent taco was the chorizo taco. Also, when we arrived no one came to our table to bring us our complimentary chips and salsa, but I saw a gentleman with his already who was dining in. This establishment was not even busy when were were there. We had to wait 20 minutes for our server to come back so that we could ask for some chips and salsa. When we finally received the chips and salsa, the salsa was watery and tasteless. I decided to try something else on the menu since I was disappointed with the all you can eat taco selection. I ordered the " authentic Mexican quesadillas" and was not impressed. The only think I enjoyed was the drinks more than the food. This place also adds a gratuity of 18% to your bill. I did not tip anymore. When the waitress asked us did we like our food I responded that the tacos were dry but our drinks were fine. She did not ask to make it better to anything. She just giggled and made jokes. I had high expectations for this place because, I thought they were an "authentic" spot but no way. We will not be returning ever! You guys could of had loyal customers but this experience made you a one and done. We spent $145 dollars with food and drinks so just be aware that this place was not that good. Very disappointing. Not sure if the high reviews are...

This is a really nice little restaurant that was recommended by some very reliable Yelpers as having great food at a reasonable price.

The first thing is parking - there isn't a lot of it. The lot is small and we got the last space, but the restaurant is also small, so I guess it kinda works.

The first great thing - there is a check in offer for a free drink! I went with the horchata, a drink that I learned to love a few months ago. This wasn't as good as the one I had before, it wasn't quite as thick. Still it was flavorful and quite drinkable.

The menu had a lot of items that were new to me, so I decided to adventure out of my comfort zone. We started with a couple of pupusas - homemade tortillas stuffed with a variety of fillings. The first was an excellent pork filling. The second one was a loroco and cheese. The loroco is a green flower blossom. While it was interesting, I'm not sure I would order it again.

Then we moved on to the sopes. We opted for the three flavors - pork, beef and chicken. All were topped with beans, real cotija cheese and crema. They were absolutely yummy.

Of course, it's always good to have dessert, although we seldom do. But since this was a special night, meeting new Yelp friends visiting from NY, we decided to go all the way and have the Tres Leches cake. It was cold, sweet and moist, just the way it should be.

Frankly, I'd like to eat my way through the entire menu, so we'll definitely...

Highly dissapointed again..this is the second time I got a burrito from there..on instagram they are huge and for 16 bucks I got a taco bell sized Burrito..asked for everything on it instead of the side..so got no refried beans ,no lettuce and no cheese,no rice ..they just made it like last time ...last time they put everything on the side which i find to be weird for a burrito ...this time they made it the same way except with none of the extras...literally smaller than a 5 dollar burrito at taco bell...food is good which is why i travel like 20 miles to eat there but man...I literally explained to the lady what I wanted and even showed her a picture on instagram of what I wanted on it and nothing this is twice now they have done this...it is super frustrating ...like she literally looked confused when I said I want the rice the refried beand the cheese onions lettuce tomatoes and salsa on the burrito i had to explain it like 5 times. The place I go to in Davie ..which is authentic food they make it in front of you and the burritos are 4 times the size for the same price ..wasted another 16 bux..tried to give them another chance but not wasting my money a third time...its a shame cuz the food is good ..but times are tough these days and im not wasting my money again. I ordered for it to go...maybe they do better if you eat there but I find this to be...
