Guavas Cuban Cafe

Friendly, Cozy comfortable indoor seatings with outdoor patio. We ordered up front and self serve for water. Reasonable price with big portions. Shrimp was perfectly cooked in coconut sauce . Pork steak, rice and beans were a little too salty for me . Desserts were on point!

Today was my first time there on my sister's recommendation. I love! The ambient was really cozy and inviting! I had the Cubano sanguich with a Cafe con Leche, it was all very good would definitely come back! The employee all seem and were really nice!

Was in the neighborhood and dropped by. Fair prices for the amount of food and quality! The food is great and the “order yourself” at a counter set up is way more convenient than needing to deal with servers elsewhere.

My hungry stomach took me here. We order a ceviche, a plate of hanger steak and shrimp with garlic pepper creamy sauce, a shrimp bowl with mild creole sauce and a guava juice. The quality and the portions are very decent. Our server was awesome.

Nice small restaurant with outdoor seating. The food is amazingly delicious the seafood white sauce is creamy and tasty. There’s two big tilapia fillets on the bottom covered in sauce. Would totally recommend this place

This was a really lucky drive-by find for my friend and I. We were looking for a patio to enjoy the last of the summer warmth. I’m so glad we saw this place and stopped. The counter order was super easy, the staff were friendly and helpful. The outdoor seating area was perfect. I liked that there was a water container and cups available; I drink a lot of water and it can get annoying asking for refills. The food was great and was well priced. Would definitely like to go back and try more. Would recommend to anyone.

Food was fresh and service was nice. Quaint little place with interesting street decor. I recognized the IKEA plate ware. Food: ordered Chicharron de pollo, plantains chips and dip, tamale with pork, fried fish and rice for the kid, and friend ordered shrimp. Everything was great; funny enough the kids meal was the best tasting thing! Fish was super good. I also really liked the black bean dip they had.

A delicious taste of Cuba and its culture; a pure hidden gem in the heart of Minneapolis. The food, the atmosphere is captivating, an experience to try at least once! The mouth watering Cubano is a MUST!! Their mango and pineapple juice is absolutely delicious. Believe you me Guavas needs to be on the maps-. The recognition of its cuisine and culture is what Minnesota is craving for

Don't judge it by its curb appeal, this place is fantastic. GREAT food, everything is great. Service is great, drinks are great, art and decor are cute and very Cuban, lighting is nice, general vibes are very cozy, I would eat breakfast here every day, it's ideal. French toast, eggs, and the fruit frescos are particularly good, but honestly just order anything, you can't go wrong here. also their butter has no business being this good. Prices are great, serving size is great. I've been to many a cafe in Paris and Seoul this year, arguably the 2 cafe capitals of the world and this place still is in my top 10 cafes on the planet for sure Parking: Street parking is free everywhere in this area and quite close to Guavas. Or you could risk angering Kowalski's and park in their lot I suppose. but seriously, plenty of free street parking haha

A hidden gem in south minneapolis! My favorite dishes are the shrimp bowl and veggie bowl I usually add a protein too along with the mojito wine based or sangria. My husband really enjoys the steak. The patio is delightful in the summer and they sometimes even have live music! The only thing I would change about this place is not having to stand in line to order at the counter. Sometimes it gets very busy and I would prefer having a server come to our table to order.
