Guanaticos Restaurant — Restaurant in South Orange

Stopped in to order some dinner, the woman who helped me was very nice but I didn’t receive all the food I ordered and I’m not sure if I was charged correctly since I didn’t grab the receipt.

I ordered two pupusas, two orders of nachos, one order of fried yucca, and one tres leches cake. When she rang me up on the register I noticed that she hadn’t included the cake so I asked if that total included the dessert and she pressed a couple more buttons and then the screen only showed my total so I assumed that she had added the dessert on.

I paid and stepped outside while waiting for my food. After the twenty minutes had gone by I stepped back in to grab what I had ordered and she took another few minutes to grab the boxes from the back. It didn’t look like enough containers so I repeated my order and asked her to confirm that everything was in the bag and she immediately said yes it was.

Once I got home I realized that I was missing an order of nachos and the tres leches cake. It was a good amount of food so we wound up splitting everything and it was almost enough for the three of us(we added a few things from the fridge), but it’s disappointing to not have received what I ordered and possibly paid for after repeating the order 3 times.

Pupusas were excellent, nachos were nice but had a few too many bones for my liking, and the yucca was great. I wish I could comment on the cake but alas I...

Today is One star I llove the pupusas I ve there at least six times now to get them I just called in an order for pick up ask for the green sauce which I have every time they do have a green sauce I’ve paid extra for it instead of the red sauce that you can use in the cabbage that goes on the side and the pickled cabbage and the young lady said we don’t have green sauce I’m like I’ve been there at least six times I’ve asked for the green sauce on the side and she says we don’t have green sauce again and I was like well I know that I only eat them with the green sauce i said ok just cancel the order she then says let me ask? Wait... what now you need to ask? I said Im cancelling she said ok and...

So excited to find a real Costa Rican breakfast here!!! I lived in Costa Rica for five years, and this is the real deal. Gallo pinto, eggs, fried plantains, queso... Sooo good. Service was good, portions were generous, people were friendly, and the restaurant has incredible murals and some great Costa Rica decor. Five stars,...
