My girlfriend and I went to Guantanamera for our first time the other day and I was not impressed. Actually, I was outright upset when I left the restaurant.

First off- the entire menu is overpriced. Now, I'm OK with spending some extra dough for great food and service- but neither was offered here. The food that I ordered was mediocre, and there was a only a one-man staff responsible for being host, server and bartender to the entire restaurant.

Even this being the case, I would normally just eat up, pay for my meal and never come here again, end of story. But when I got the bill, I realized that I was being charged $8 per margarita- instead of the $3.50 that is clearly posted on a table flyer under "Monday Specials" (yes, it was Monday).

This margarita price was right underneath a food-for-two special, which we decided not to get. I asked the server about the $8 price- and he said in order to receive the Monday Special drink prices, we had to get the food special as well. When asked why it doesn't say this ANYWHERE on the special flyer, or why this was not brought to our attention in any way- the server responded "I'm Sorry".

The lack in quality of food, the steep prices, the bad service, and the misleading and downright sleazy happy hour scheme made my experience one for the books! I will never step foot inside this place again, and I wish you a better experience than I had- should you decide to.

The restaurant is very cozy, clean with great service and positive attitude... I went last Thursday and there was a great Mexican bolero singer Christian very passionate voice and talent and it was fantastic.
The food it's genuine and very yummy.
Great Mojitos...

We had bad service no check backs or follow up for request. There was a huge bug on the wall that made everyone react. It was gross. The manager didn't even come over to apologize or server. They didn't even offer to take anything off bill or even coffee.

I will never go there again it's too bad....

Just went to this restaurant tonight for dinner and it turns out that on Weds. they have $3.95 Mojitos. The Mojito was one of the best I've had in all of LA! The food is excellent, definitely worth going again.
