My newest friends Sandy and Luis raved about this place as it serves one of the signature dishes of…read moreLeón, the Guacamayas: delicious sandwiches with chicharrones (fried pork rinds), cueritos (pickled pork rinds), avocado, tomato, peppers, and salsa. The story has it that the creator of the sandwich was playing cards with his friends, and apparently all these men's wives were being too loud for their male ears, much like the macaw (which in Spanish is called la guacamaya), a type of parrot. To stop the so-called squawking, the owner invented the guacamaya sandwich to shut them up. Really sexist undertones but the story has been selling I guess. Alternative origin theories I've seen online include the fact that the sandwich is colorful like the macaw; a funnier one is that these sandwiches are so spicy that they'll make you squawk like a macaw. Whatever the truth may be, the sandwich is nevertheless delicious and spicy! This place is so famous also that a TV crew was filming the guy making the sandwiches! Bathroom in the back and also a sink to wash your hands so you don't eat these sandwiches recklessly. Bowls were wrapped in plastic bags for sanitation reasons I suppose. TV in the front for viewing pleasure.

Super good! The Guacamayas where fresh and spicy! Very friendly staff and food was prepared very…read morequickly.

My wife and I stopped in Leon to try La Guacamaya. The restaurant we intended to try was closed,…read morethis one was around the corner. The stand's similar to most in the neighborhood. A super small interior, with a stand and seating on the outside. My Spanish sucks, so I mostly walked up like a smiling dumbass and was rewarded with a delicious sandwich. The Guacamaya's a crusty white bread roll with a couple slices of chicharrones crammed in, and then a pile of fresh salsa and limes thrown on top. I've seen a couple varieties including guacamole and more greens, this stand (I think) just offered the more basic variety. The sandwich was delicious. The chicharrones added great texture to the fresh salsa and citrus. The stand had a couple extra bottled salsas for folks craving an extra kick. The sandwich was 15 pesos. Well worth it. The chef/owner was super-friendly and accommodating of my non-verbalness.

I came here tonight with family as I was craving an "American" meal. Maybe I was getting homesick…read moreas it was my last night in Leon- flying back to Cali the next day. When we walked in we decided to eat in the outdoor area as it was a nice evening. It was moderately busy but our server came by quickly. She took out drink order and we also ordered an order of guacamole, which comes with salsa btw. I also liked that she brought more chips without us asking. What we ordered: Guacamole Broccoli cream soup Classic club chicken sandwich Ultimate Bacon Burger Crispy chicken crispers Our food was good and I thought the service was great as well. I will add that my review is actuallly 4.5 stars and the reason being I don't like that they let people smoke cigarettes in the outdoor dining area. I hate the smell and it's so unpleasant when trying to enjoy a meal. Not sure if this is the norm in the area but I don't like it. En Espanol: Vine aquí esta noche con mi familia porque tenía antojo de una comida "americana". Tal vez estaba sintiendo nostalgia porque era mi última noche en León; volaba de regreso a Cali al día siguiente. Cuando entramos, decidimos comer en el área al aire libre porque era una noche agradable. Había bastante gente, pero nuestra camarera vino rápidamente. Ella tomó el pedido de bebidas y también pedimos un pedido de guacamole, que por cierto viene con salsa. También me gustó que trajera más papas fritas sin que se lo pidiéramos. Lo que pedimos: Guacamole Sopa de crema de brócoli Sándwich de pollo club clásico Hamburguesa Ultimate Bacon Crujientes de pollo crujientes Nuestra comida era buena y pensé que el servicio también fue excelente. Agregaré que mi reseña es en realidad de 4.5 estrellas y la razón es que no me gusta que permitan que la gente fume cigarrillos en el comedor al aire libre. Odio el olor y es muy desagradable cuando intentas disfrutar de una comida. No estoy seguro de si esto es lo normal en la zona, pero no me gusta.
