Guavate is a Puerto Rican restaurant that I go to once a
year. If it were a little closer I would probably dine there more often, but it
is definitely worth the drive.
The ATMOSPHERE… Small but there is plenty of seating and
very clean
The SERVICE… Friendly and Efficient
The FOOD… Soups and Appetizers, Chicken, Pork, Beef or
Seafood Dinners, Mofongo (plus they have great lunch specials mon – fri)
This past visit to Guavate was when I realized just how
delicious and flavorful Puerto Rican food can be! We both ordered several
things and then shared, which was a great way to get a little of everything!
At most restaurants I don’t usually pay too much attention
to the complimentary bread that comes out, but this was garlicky and delicious!
Even the Salad with the homemade lemony dressing was
Dynamite, and we hadn’t even gotten to anything that we had ordered yet!
Our first appetizer was Sorrullos de Queso (Sweet Cornmeal
Fritter stuffed with Cheese - $2.49 for two) I could have eaten a dozen of
them.
Amarillos – Fried Ripe Plaintains
Yucca
Beef Empanada
Vegetarian Mofongo
and then Plato Navideno (Savory Green Pigeon Pea Rice,
served with marinated Roast Pork Shoulder and Pastel - $11.95) rounded out our
meal.
We both left absolutely stuffed, and we had plenty of take
out boxes to enjoy the next day which still tasted just as good. We will
definitely be back, I just hope that it doesn’t take us another year to make it
out there.
