“ Delicious Cuban sandwich. Good service. Felt like Miami, especially with the heat. Nice Miami-themed eatery in Cville. ”
“ Best brunch in Charlottesville hands down!! The prices are so reasonable for the portions and quality of food here. To drink, I had a hibiscus tea which was delicious. As for food, we started with the whipped goat cheese and the fried cheese cubes. For my main I enjoyed the avocado toast. I thought it would be a basic order but was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful presentation and thinly sliced cucumber lining the crispy toast. I had the perfect amount of food and left here felling full but not groggy. They also have a great selection of coffee drinks including affogatos, a personal favorite of mine. The decor in here is super cool and there's a variety of seating-- indoor, outdoor, a bar, and lounge areas. It's clean and the staff are so friendly and make sure you have an excellent experience. ”
“ Updating because I was back recently and this is still one of the strongest restaurants in Charlottesville. The move to a new location was the right choice - there is plenty more space and they can accommodate larger group sizes. The restaurant is usually packed, so expect a wait on busier weekends. Service and the food have not slowed down at all. Just as good as they were when they first opened. If you haven't been for brunch yet, this needs to be on your list! Their menu has also expanded in the last few years and everything we've tried is fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Consistently one of the best spots in cville. Check it out if you haven't been! ”
“ Upfront, all of my reviews are based on my expectations, walking into the establishment. In this case, a Miami Cuban eatery in the middle of Virginia. Understand also, that I have done quite a bit in Miami and in the Caribbean. Walking in the atmosphere was very welcoming and fun. A variety of seating options and even though the establishment appeared to be a conversion of a former auto service garage, it was kind of cozy even on a cold winter day. The menu is exactly what you would expect with all sorts of Miami/Cuban dishes. The waiter was knowledgeable and very helpful in ordering. There was just the two of us so we didn't get to order a lot of of the menu items. But what we received was Tasty, but not overly impressive. But the next time I'm in the neighborhood, I would not hesitate to return to try more of the menu. ”
“ Came back to Guajiros after some wedding venue touring in the area. I've been wanting to take my fiancé to this spot for a while since our love story started in Miami. We came here for a late lunch. He was craving a Cuban and this was the perfect spot for it. We were also a bit tired so got an incredible cafecito and cafe con leche. They make the coffee exactly the way we like it, like in Miami. This made us really happy. He devoured his sandwich and loved it. I got their shrimp cucumber salad, which was yummy, but I wish had a bit more flavor. We both enjoyed the fries that came with the sandwich. The people who work here are really sweet. I love all the Miami decor. This is also a really fun spot for brunch. It gets super busy during brunch time and they have a lot of fun options. ”
“ Everything about this place is amazing...except the Charlottesville parking. This is our first time here for brunch, since they moved locations and it is so much more bright and inviting here. The food...amazing as always. Today we ordered the queso frito and avocado toast to share and we both ordered the huevos Guajiros with pulled pork and it was all delicious. I also ordered a Michelada, which should should really consider a name change to a Beerdy Mary. ”
“ Great Cuban-inspired food for breakfast / brunch. I came with my wife on a weekday for brunch. I ordered the El Nacional, which was huevos con chorizo, avocado, sweet plantain, refried beans, pickled onions, and crostini. The eggs with chorizo was tasty - not overcooked and not overwhelmed with chorizo. What I ended up doing was using the crostini as a vehicle to eat the other things - I'd pile up some eggs, beans, avocado, pickled onions, etc. on the crostini and eat everything that way. But by themselves, each of the items on the dish were also tasty. I also ordered it with the homemade limeade, which was just ok. My wife tried the Breakfast Bowl, which was 2 fried eggs over rice and beans, and she ordered it with the fried cheese. The fried cheese was probably my favorite thing of everything we ordered - it was super dense but only lightly fried - very tasty! The service was ok - I think they may have been understaffed that day because one server was taking care of basically half of the restaurant. So it took a while for us to get our orders in, but once they were in, the food came out pretty quickly. I do wish the portion size was a little bigger for the price - while the food was tasty, the portion size didn't fill me up, if I'm being honest. Parking was a bit of a problem, as the lot is pretty small and full, and street parking is difficult to find since it's located by UVA's campus. So we had to drive around to find some street parking and walked to the restaurant. ”
“ This is a very cool spin on breakfast food. Everything tasted fresh and made to order. The new location within an old bike shop is quirky yet works perfectly. Never have eaten "Miami" style food which I can only assume is a Cuban/American mix similar to Tex-Mex. Would recommend this place even if it can be quite pricey with drinks. ”
“ Very swanky place with absolutely delicious food! The coffee is also strong, just the way I like it, and service was great as well. Would definitely return, a great place to catch breakfast/brunch for sure. Some highlights: there is a small parking lot as a heads up, and this restaurant only takes reservations for dinner. Breakfast and lunch you can walk in! ”
“ A quick Yes for a short, 1st time breakfast at Guajiros. Had a bizarre craving for huevos rancheros (a symptom of what...?) and landed at Guajiros. Two cafe con leche, and an egg and steak soft taco. Done well. Will return for a dinner and test out the rest of the 'Cuban bones' charlottesville style.... ”
