Reviews For El Guayas Restaurant

I never had Ecuadorian food before, so there is no way for me to judge it's authenticity. I can say that I enjoyed the meal very much. I ordered online and it arrived in less than 40 minutes. I ordered the Chaulafan Especial. It was a very large portion of seasoned meat, rice, and plantains. I would recommend it. Very happy to have this unique restaurant in the local area.

This was an excellent find for me. The food was extraordinary and the service was superb. I stumbled upon El Guayas during an exploratory Segway ride through Philly. Top marks.... can't wait to visit again

Churrasco is 9.5 out of 10. Very good quality, smoky deep grill flavor and very tasty. Add the green sauce and chunky picante. You will not be disappointed. Always clean and good staff .
