Guatelinda Cafe

As a Latin woman in the united states, its hard to find genuine, delicious, authentic latin food this far north. This place is it! We were in the neighborhood and we decided to stop by. This place EXCEEDED our expectations! I felt like I was back in my grandmothers kitchen again. Small family owned restaurant that absolutely serves the best! I will be back again and again!

Now that they have new staff, the food has changed a bit and doesn't taste as good as it used to. The pupusas are thick and need a bit more cook time. The staff is friendly, yet they seem bored. I used to love this place with the previous owners/staff, but now I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.

Everyone should try this place. The menu looks like more-or-less the usual 'Mexican food', but the flavors are completely different. My papusas came with three salsas, none of them that spicy, but each with a completely different flavor. The beans and rice were beans and rice, but the texture and flavor was completely different than anything I've had before - they reminded me of Indian food more than Mexican food. And there was a slaw that was kind of like a... sweet sauerkraut? Very unique dining experience, and inexpensive for the weight of food you get - I got my papusas to go and it was like 2lbs of food for $9. Definitely check this place out. I will head back there soon.
