How Guava's Came to Be
Frank Machado grew up in Miami eating the real thing — slow-roasted pork, crispy tostones, strong cafecito — and he brought all of it to South Minneapolis. This is that story.
What our guests are saying
My favourite restaurant used to be San Pedro in Hudson, but now it's Guavas. Some of the most flavourful food I have ever had in my life, and the vibe here is perfect! I can't wait to go back!

We ordered takeout on a Friday night! It was amazing. My husband said it was the best Cubano he ever had! The sauces, the rice, and the flavours were incredible!
Kelsey R.
We've ordered take-out from Guava's several times, and it's always excellent. Lots of variety, good quality food, and very tasty. We want to eat there in person sometime soon, but their take-out is one of our favourites.

The chicharrón de pollo has to be the best chicken in the entire state. As a Puerto Rican, I can tell you the food is absolutely delicious!
