The flavors are the closest to the authentic Latin creations I grew up eating, yet also manage to add their own unique and delicious twists to make them pop even more. The ingredients are carefully selected, paired well, and cooked to perfection to make every dish unforgettable. For my first run, I tried the Seared Braised Beef with julienned crispy potatoes, which reminds me of the Lomo Saltado we do in California. The beef is tender and succulent, salty & flavorful, and topped with sliced roasted veggies. The crispy potatoes are amazing, too, but I wish there had been more. This is also the first restaurant I've been to in London that serves fried yuca (cassava) since I moved here... and that was more than 4 years ago. If you're hungry, get this as your side. Brownie points to them for using truffle oil to give them that little extra flair. The drinks don't disappoint, either. Their cocktails are utilizing "better" versions of Latin spirits (think Fair Quinoa Vodka), which means they're slightly pricier but also offer a more varied experience. The wine list is also plentiful, so pick your poison. Given the lively nature of its environment, it's definitely a restaurant for the social experience. However, reservations in advance are strongly recommended, whether you're coming alone or in a group. The ONLY downside I could find about this place was their complete lack of alternative milks. So, if you want something other than dairy to go with your tea or coffee, you're out of luck. In my case, I ended up opting for their Espressini cocktail with Fair Trade Coffee Liqueur instead. I know. What a sacrifice.

They were not the most bustling during the time that we were there but we were happy to have missed the Sunday crowd! The restaurant ambiance and service was not the most remarkable but their menu speaks for itself. I wish they had a more extensive menu with a wider price range but if you're willing to treat yourself on a night out in Camden, definitely swing by Guanabana.

It had ample outdoor sitting where you could appreciate the scenery of nearby colleges. Upon entering the inside dining area, I enjoyed the colorful ambiance and centered bar. The entire place was well lit with plenty of sitting. The menu offered many choices to please anyone seeking something slightly different. The cuisine has influences from Spain to South America. For my lunch experience, I sample the lamb albodigas (meat balls), empanadas, focaccia bread with dipping sauces and nachos with guacamole. We were served by Gloria, who was an amazing server. She was funny, friendly and helpful. She made my kids (ages 4-7) feel at ease and welcomed. After my lunch experience, I would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with kids.

From start to finish, this was the worst restaurant experiences I've had…read more I visited this restaurant with my family one evening, and the first thing we saw was the unwelcoming stares of the waitstaff (a group of 5 or more people hovering by the bar, who couldn't have looked less enthusiastic if they tried). Eventually one of them mustered up the courage to approach us, after we stood awkwardly for 2 minutes. We were asked "Do you have a booking-". Considering half the restaurant was empty, and there was just 2 of us we expected a better response. We were told to wait while he checked - Again, we could clearly see there was space. He guided us to the very back wall of the restaurant, right by the kitchen door. In his defence, there was a pretty big party of young people that were sitting by the window having the time of their lives (kudos to them), and it was clear the main manager wanted a certain atmosphere to be advertised at the shop window. We were not the clientele he wanted to advertise. Or perhaps he was psychic, and knew about the impending food poisoning we would have? There's that too. We went to our table and begun looking at our menus. Beyond the remnants of what I can only hope was hot sauce or ketchup, I was able to see most of my menu. We ordered 1 starter (taquitos), 2 mains (chimichangas), 1 drink (caipirinha). Whilst waiting, the waitstaff constantly shifted and moved tables and chairs around us - perhaps this was their idea of creating ambience? At one point, a server lifted a chair near his head, and accidently dropped the foot of a chair on the tip of our table. Not only was his method of chair-lifting nonsensical, it was dangerous. He bellowed "sorry!" as he scurried to the other side of the restaurant to avoid reproach The starter arrived within 7 minutes of ordering. My taquitos were piping hot, and yet they were dry and dehydrated (clearly precooked some hours before and thrown in a microwave). I wanted to be impressed by the mere speed in which they got to me, but then again that's what 90 seconds in a microwave will give you. Presentation was sloppy, my salad was dry, in spite of the Hellmann's salad dressing presumptively drizzled on top. My caipirinha was very syrupy, and although my glass was filled with at least 6 lime wedges, I did not taste the tartness, tanginess or sourness of the citrus that would have balanced the sheer volume of syrup. Our main course came shortly after. Two chimichangas - AKA Two store bought tortillas filled with a flavourless mix of mince beef and kidney beans, topped with microwaved cheese and brined jalapeno slices. This was accompanied by rice that had clearly been precooked in bulk and reheated. Outside of any subjective view, the food lacked the flavour, authenticity and basic effort one would expect from any establishment - let alone Mexican & Cuban cuisine, which is renowned for incredible flavours and colourful presentation. Our meal was cooked with minimal care or concern, and if the treatment we received wasn't already a clear indication we were not welcome at this restaurant, the food was the final rubber stamp on it.

Our server was nice enough and service was quite quick, especially given how busy it was. The chicken fajita stack was probably the best tasting food we got. The table side guac was nice but overpriced for the size. However there were a few cons; Very loud location so was a bit hard to have a decent conversation. They don't have great a-la-carte options. The tacos would be great if you didn't have to pick two of the same flavour and if there was an option to add an extra taco. The crispy fish tacos were really bland. The chicken wings weren't crispy at all. The portion size of the padron peppers is definitely smaller than it used to be. 4 peppers for £4.20 is crazy! Fine for a quick Mexican food fix but definitely not authentic cuisine.
