Reviews for The Guanaquita Restaurant in Kitchener, ON

Stumbled upon this place and honest the best spontaneous decision ever made. Service is ok but the food is amazing. I ordered a... steak plate and asked for medium rare, my steak was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Very impressed and will be back again! Read more

We got 2 Guanaquita platters, a veggie platter, and the 3 enchiladas salvadoreñas. The food was very tasty and they had many... veg options. We also tried their churros which were amazingg. My only issue was that the food was very fried and oily, in thatmy mouth - which isn?t used to eating fried foods - hurt quite a bit afterward. I really enjoyed the enchillada on my Guanaquitaplatter though! Read more

The food here is amazing! They many great vegan options. We've eaten here several times and each time I have had a different... vegan dish. The staff is friendly and helpful. One of our favorite places in Downtown Kitchener. Update June 21: Just hadanother amazing experience here! Food was amazing as always. Staff is super friendly. Really one of the best places in KW!

My first time ordering from here and it was DELICIOUS. We ordered the delivery and everything was hot and fresh when it... arrived. Asside from the incredible food, the staff member who answered the phone was also amazing. A member of our group has asevere shellfish allergy and the staff who answered the phone was very clear about cross contamination policies, veryreassuring, and was very helpful addressing all of our concerns. In terms of food: I had the pick 4 combination platter andtried the pastelitos and pupusas. The bean and cheese pupusa was okay, but the steak and cheese pastelito, chicken bean andcheese pastelito, and the pork and cheese pupusa were INCREDIBLE. The only thing I would say is the medium hot sauce was not ashot as I was expecting so I would definitely go up a spice level next time. I will be ordering from here again for sure! Read more

It was our first time at The Guanaquita Restaurant last night and we were so impressed with the food and service. My mom and I... both enjoyed the vegan platter and loved everything on it. It's wonderful that most menu items can be made vegan. Next time weare in Kitchener we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. Read more

My boyfriend and I had a great time here with our friend, we enjoyed how polite the staff is, but as for the food none of it was... bad but there were ones better than others for instance my plate with the fluatas and loroco were Amazing and i willdefinitelyorder it again! But the Mari-tiera was good but I thought could use a little more seasoning like salt and the shrimpwas delicous but and so was the fish but it was dry. Maybe it was just that one time so we will have try it again. We also had abeef taco (carne asada) and it was very good and so was there mild sauce with it. As for the flan I thought it was over cooked,needed sugar and just wasn't the best I've tried, not horrible but not my top choice. I would definitely order everything again(except the flan) plus we enjoyed the atmosphere here and the view at sitting at the windows, it is very nice! Read more

Hands down the best papusas you can get. They're large and absolutely stuffed with ingredients. Everything is always fresh and... perfect. The curtido and salsa also cannot be beat. The staff is friendly and the quality is always a 10. Read more
