You know that diagram that has good, cheap, and fast? The idea is you can only choose two of the three options because it?s so... rare to find all three. Guasaca lives comfortably in the sweet spot of all three descriptors. I can confidently say that becauseit?s a big part of the reason I?ve visited Guasaca pretty much at least once a week for the past year and a half. Good. I?madmittedly biased because I love Latin-American food. I grew up eating it a few times a week (my mom is Panamanian) and it?salways been my comfort food. However, I can be picky when it comes to the staples like rice, plantains, and chicken. Guasacaabsolutely delivers on all of this and more. The bowl options are fantastic and the arepas are a nice departure from the typicalburrito or something you might get at Chipotle. Cheap. Cheap can have a bad connotation in a city where you have so manydelicious options but trust me when I say cheap it does not reflect the quality of the food. You can get a filling arepa forunder $10 and you can get a hearty bowl for around $12 (as of Nov 2022). These prices are a huge reason that I pick up Guasacaso often. It is consistently delicious and I know exactly what I?m going to get for my money which isn?t always the case atcheaper spots. Fast. When I order online they consistently beat the estimated order complete time. They use toast tab for theirordering system so you don?t have to fiddle with any one-off logins or funky systems. A heads up for those of you that preferordering in person: I have had a few slower experiences when ordering at Guasca. Usually, it?s because there?s someone who isn?tquite sure what they want to order or how to best order. They also sometimes have big group orders that can add to the waittime. However, I?ve never had either of these issues when ordering online so I definitely recommend that route unless you?d liketo dine-in. Pro-tips: try the guasca with their chips, try the dessert cup, and definitely try all the s Read more

The food is amazing, but I have tried to use their ?curbside? twice and both times the phone numbers listed online and on the... parking signs just went to a general message that the number was unavailable. I asked the first time and the cashier said thatthe phones were out. When it happened again, I realized it wasn?t just a one-time thing. Love the food, but don?t think I?ll beback. Read more

Great food for a great price! Arepas are a really fun departure from tacos/burritos. If you don't eat a lot one might be enough... for you which makes this the mythical 5 dollar meal. Two for $10 will leave you stuffed! My wife and I tried the vegan and theshredded beef, both were great. Make sure you ask for the cilantro lime sauce and pour it over everything. Read more
