I was in the neighborhood w my parents and niece and decided to treat them to a Father's Day lunch. The place is cutesy, decorated w your typical folklore figurines and paitings..extremely clean and inviting! The menu was a one page form..your typical Nica bangers. I ordered the pescado empanizado w sides, others ordered, fried fish, friend shrimps and shrimp scampi..these dishes were made perfectly and tasted fresh...the chileros were on point A+ freshness as well!

We were greeted by a very nice hostess and once our party arrives we were sat quickly. Our waiter recommended a wonderful drink, which was Prosecco with lychee and strawberries, very delicious! Then we ordered empanadas for the table. They were very tasty. I had the pollo a la plancha with plátano, arroz and arepa. It was very tasty. A good size portion. I could have eaten the whole plate but I controlled myself and took half home, and now I have a delicious lunch for tomorrow! For dessert we had breva con arequipe. This was not my favorite, while I do like figs, queso fresco, and arequipe; I did not like it all together. The others in my party felt the same way. However , I don't think this is the restaurants fault, I think I just don't like this dish. All in all, it was a great time with great foods and great friends. If you are looking for a homey place to relax with family or friends and enjoy a good meal, this is the place for you!

When 2 Chainz's crunk anthem, "I'm Different," plays in the club, Nicaraguan quesillos sprint to…read morethe dance floor yelling, "That's my jam!" In the Caribbean, South America, and Spain, a quesillo is a dense flan-style dessert. But in Central America, it's a savory snack akin to a Venezuelan cachapa. With one exception, my entire lunch crew has a Nicaraguan connection, either through heritage or marriage. I'm the exception. So when I mentioned discovering an undiscovered Nica spot, I was met with four pairs of doubting eyes. Décor isn't high on Quesillos Guiliguiste's priority list. If you've ever stepped into an Italian deli, you've seen communal counters that serve workers in a hurry to grab and go. That long, chest-high piece of furniture is the centerpiece of the dining room, along with two small benches, handwritten menus, and a retro cash register complete with an oversized roll of thermal paper. My coworkers silently looked around while nodding and tallying points for authenticity. Undoubtedly, the quesillo is the star attraction. Most visitors order one ($6) or two, and the dedicated attendant operates her station accordingly. Corn tortillas are quickly warmed in the kitchen, then topped with braided mozzarella-like cheese, sharp sour cream, and pickled onions (optional). There are three main ways to enjoy a quesillo: the "bag job," where all the ingredients merge inside a ziplock; the fancy "fork-and-knife job" while hovering over a paper plate; or my favorite, the "hand.... situation", grabbing it like a soft taco. There are also prepared dishes like Chancho con Yuca ($13), a fricassé-style pork served with boiled cassava and shredded cabbage slathered in tomato-based gravy. You can tell the rich sauce has been reducing for hours, soaking up deep umami flavors. It's a hearty dish, but it's not my first choice with half a workday ahead. The Taquitos ($6 for two) were freshly fried and crispy, but the tiny sliver of meat inside didn't help me meet my protein goals. Tiste ($4) is a traditional Nicaraguan drink, but it could just as easily be sold at Peet's as a Cinnamon-Sugar-Glazed Popcorn Iced Hot Chocolate. The flavors of Christmas spices, roasted corn, and dark chocolate satisfy without overwhelming your sweet tooth. Jugo de Tamarindo ($4) was just as memorable, but for all the wrong reasons. It was thicc, overly sweet, noticeably salty, and missing the sour punch I'm used to. It was so different from the tamarind juice I've enjoyed elsewhere that I thought they gave me the wrong drink. I get that it's a family business, but had I been at Pinolandia or Fritanga Monimbó, I'd be swimming in gallo pinto and carne asada, floating on a raft of fried cheese, for the same price I paid here for what was essentially two vegetarian quesadillas. Still, this shop has the monopoly on made-to-order quesillos, and all the Pinoleros in my pack were giddy with Guiliguiste, many grabbing to-go orders for their friends and families.

They serve it inside a plastic bag, tied at the end. You have to flip it over, bite off the corner, spit out the plastic and just eat it from there. Must eat it like this to avoid spilling the cream sauce. They offer other traditional dishes which we also had and were delicious. But I only took a video of what I found to be unique. It's situated in a small strip mall, next to a Pizza Hut ; it's easy to miss, they need better signs. Overall a good place to try. I couldn't turn off the audio on the videos posted, but then again you'll hear my friend's excitement for I tried this dish.
