El Guanaco Auburn Hills Restaurant is quickly becoming a cherished spot for Latin American cuisine in Auburn Hills, MI. Reviewers have consistently praised its authentic flavors and welcoming atmosphere. One standout item is the tacos al pastor, hailed by customer Jack Minock as unmatched, especially for a lunchtime price around $11. Many guests, like 'La Tribu', who recently moved from NYC, express joy in discovering such quality Latin food, complemented by exceptional service.
The cheese pupusas are another highlight, capturing the hearts (and appetites) of patrons like Gabriela Alegria, who noted their delightful seasoning and temperature. While some have experienced slight delays, the overwhelmingly positive feedback emphasizes that the taste is well worth the wait. Customer Sparkles R described the food as “Absolutely DELICIOUS”, pointing to the authenticity of every dish. Moreover, Brian Selewski’s mention of a savory Salvadoran soda further showcases the restaurant’s commitment to offering a genuine experience.
With glowing reviews centered around fresh, well-prepared meals and a friendly environment, El Guanaco stands out as a must-visit for anyone craving Latin American delicacies. Don’t miss the chance to indulge in their scrumptious offerings!

Limes without asking automatically gets 5 stars. I've had tacos al pastor from many different places and none come even close to El Guanacos! 11ish for lunch and what you get is such a good deal! I'm so thankful I work down the road from here!

I am from NYC and just recently moved here and I was so sad because I couldn’t find a place that had my kind of food (Latin) And I found this restaurant I was so excited and let me tell you I wasn’t disappointed. We were welcome with good customer service. What we had to eat was sooo good. I will recommend it to everyone, and I still have to go back and tell the rest !!!!!

The food was delicious! We love the cheese pupusas. All the dishes we ordered were well-seasoned and hot. The only downside was that we were the only table, and it took a while for the food to arrive, but the delicious flavor of the food made up for it.

Great food, great service, I highly recommend the pupusas, and the Salvadoran soda they have. Can't remember the name of it, but it's delicious. Everyone was very friendly and the service was excellent.

The food was really good. I ordered queso and chips. Definitely the best queso I've had in a very long time. I also ordered the chimichunga dinner. It was also very good. Give this place a try. Nice quiet restaurant. Irvin waited on me. Polite and quick with my order. I will visit this restaurant again.

Delicious food & very good service ! I did a dine in here & despite reaching only 30min before closing time I was welcomed without any hesitation. I have to appreciate that the staff did not tried to rush through despite being the final 30min of their closing hours. They showed great hospitality. I could order anything I wanted. I ordered Empanadas, Papusas, Pollo Guisado. The food was served on time without any follow up & I could tell that it was freshly cooked. Salad was also fresh. I only had appreciation for the chef & the staff. I wasnt finished with my food until 9.15pm but nobody bothered me about the overtime. They let me finish my food in peace. I will visit more.
