Los Guanacos

Great service and to die for food! We always come here for their traditional pupusas, and seafood soup! You can call ahead and order to go.

Great service and great food! I’ve been coming here for years and never have had any problems! Great place to go if you want to try El Salvadorian food

OMG pupusas are my new favorite food! I’m a white guy that wanted to try something new… Los Guanacos is close to my house and the reviews were good, so I built up my courage and sought out to try something new. I can’t believe it took me so long to walk through that door. The restaurant is clean, the waiter was patient with me (I don’t speak Spanish), and the food was awesome. I had 2 pork/​cheese pupusas, rice and beans, and chicken soup… This was the best meal I’ve had in weeks. Life is too short to keep eating the same meals over and over again, so try something new today!

I haven’t had pupusas since my last trip to El Salvador in 2010. Eating here made me feel like I was at home with my family.
The pupusas were fresh and good. Served with a tamales and an empanada, I took my time to savor the food that I grew up with. If you like tamales, be aware that their theirs have olives; my wife was surprised by this.
The pace is slow and relaxed, which is what I like. If you’re in on a hot day, make sure to have a glass of horchata or tamarindo.
I look forward to coming back.

Very good food! I am no expert in Central American food, but I have never had anything there that was not good. Surprisingly enough, some of the best fried chicken I have enjoyed!

I went here a couple of weeks ago. I ordered chicharron (pork) con queso (with cheese) pupusas, with rice and fried plantains. OMG, they were so good. Loved it. I took the order togo and I didn’t wait long at all. The shopping center where this place is at may not be the best but who cares as long as the food is good. I will be going back.

Great food, awfully slow service. The pupusas are certainly on point. Check your bill before you leave. They may suddenly decide to over charge you on an item that has been clearly marked a specific price on their menu.

I made the trek all the way out here for some good pupusas and I wasn’t disappointed! My boyfriend is Salvadoran (born and raised there) and he says this is his favorite place for pupusas in Houston.
What’s a pupusa? A pupusa is a signature Salvadoran dish that’s a corn tortilla-​like dough stuffed with pork, cheese, beans, and/​or loroco (vine flower bud from Central America). The stuffing is sealed shut inside the dough. A pupusa is about 6 inches in diameter.
You know a pupusa is good when the dough is not too thick and it’s still stuffed with tons of cheese and meat. YUM! These bad boys are only $ 1.55 so you can get a cheap meal for sure. However, be prepared for a massive food coma afterward because pupusas are not part of a light diet.
The service was very attentive and friendly. We ordered 5 pupusas total and 2 drinks and the bill was under $ 12!

What a great name for a Pupusa place! This is another authentic establishment to feast on El Salvadoran cuisine. The place is not much to look at, but the food never disappoints. The Pupusas are greasy, delicious and the rest of their menu follows suit. I highly recommend you try Atol de Elote and Tamles de Elote (with cream of course!) here.
