The Guava Tree Cuban Café & Cantina is a must-visit if you're looking for authentic Cuban flavors…read more We ordered the Vaca Frita, Lechón Asado, Garlic Chicken, El Cubano, Loaded Yuca Fries, Maduros, Tostones with Garlic Mojo, and a Jarritos Guava, and everything was packed with flavor. The Vaca Frita was tender with crispy edges, the Lechón Asado was juicy and flavorful, and the Garlic Chicken was cooked perfectly. The black beans and rice were a great complement to each entrée, and the Loaded Yuca Fries were a fun twist that didn't disappoint. The maduros were sweet and caramelized just right, while the tostones paired perfectly with the garlic mojo. Even the Cuban sandwich was everything you would expect from a good Cubano: crispy bread, quality ingredients, and great flavor. What I appreciated most was that every dish tasted like it had been made with care rather than simply assembled. The variety of flavors and textures made it easy to see why this place has such a loyal following. Overall, The Guava Tree delivers authentic, comforting Cuban food that is well worth the visit. If you're in the McKinney area and want a meal that's full of flavor, this is definitely a place I would recommend.

Great ambiance!

This is a small, family-run Tex-Mex restaurant, and you can tell there is a lot of care and pride…read moreput into what they do. The atmosphere and service have a homey feel, which is perfectly fine by me. It feels comfortable, welcoming, and genuine. We are regulars here, and I'm not sure why I haven't written a review until now. We've been several times, and the food has been consistently delicious. The service is usually very good, and while the kitchen can sometimes be a little slow, the food is always presented well, especially for this price point. A couple of our favorite dishes are the Gabriel, with two chicken enchiladas, spinach, and sour cream sauce, and the Mario, which comes with three brisket tacos, Monterey Jack, and poblano peppers. For dessert, it is hard to beat the churros. The restaurant can be a little hard to find since it is tucked in the back corner of the lot behind Firestone, west of Kroger, but it is definitely worth looking for. If you enjoy good Tex-Mex from a local family-run spot, this place is absolutely worth trying.

Another neighborhood gem that we have been meaning to go to for so long, and the wait was…read moreabsolutely worth it! This is a small place, so basically we have 6-7 tables and we went on a Friday afternoon after lunch rush and got the last table. The word is out! The folks inside were super nice. Wife got the empanada appetizer as she was not super hungry, but that was still more than enough for one person. I got the Ajiaco and I will happily recommend it to anyone!! One thing that I want to point out - if you have not had Latin American cuisine it IS NOT like Mexican cuisine and it IS NOT spicy! Take a trip to Colombia in Allen! We will be coming back again!!!!

THE GOOD: We both had breakfast and both enjoyed what we ordered very much. The service was…read moreexcellent. All three of the people that came by to refill coffee and water and to check on us (multiple times) were very nice. We were fortunate to arrive at the perfect time for a Saturday morning, as we would find out in just a few minutes, as we watched the wait list grow. This being our first time, we weren't sure of the seating situation. I walked to the back, where the to-go pick up was located, to find that we can sit anywhere and that someone would come and help us. We did, and they did. I suggest you stop in and give Curuba a try. Very reasonable prices, lots of menu choices, wonderful staff, oh, did I mention the coffee? I love dark roast coffee, "Just black, please". This Columbian coffee is dark, rich, smooth and flavorful with an aroma that hits the senses with every taste. If you're a dark roasted coffee fan, stop in for a cup to go. You'll be back. And even better, the coffee comes from Columbia. They purchase it from a local importer (I believe). They provided the url via QR code. We believe in the "Buy local" philosophy. It's nice to see businesses doing business with local businesses. THE BAD: It's a small restaurant. Making a reservation (Open Table) is likely a good idea. We happened to find it at a slow moment on a Saturday morning. OVERALL: We're fans. I'd love to take our friends and family for lunch, or tell them about our new find. However, there are some things better kept to oneself.

It is a fantastic spot, and I will absolutely be back! Ambience It has the ultimate hidden-gem vibe. The dining area is tucked away right in the back of the market, which gives it a super casual, no-frills, and highly authentic feel. They feature a giant menu packed with traditional Mexican dishes, so there is plenty to choose from. Service The service was efficient and helpful. They handle the massive menu well, and I really appreciated how accommodating they are with letting you customize your order, especially when it comes to picking your proteins. Food + Street Tacos (Tripa and Lengua): Particularly enjoyed these! Both the tripa (tripe) and lengua (beef tongue) were prepared perfectly and tasted incredibly authentic. + Quesabirria Tacos: These were absolutely on point. Rich, savory, and delicious. + Gigantic Burrito (with Lengua): This thing was massive! I love that you can choose any meat to go into it, and putting lengua in it was an awesome choice.

Only giving 1 start because Yelp won't let you post a review without any…read more.. Hubby and I tried them today. It hurts us to see other boricuas serving food that do not have the real Puertorican flavors. If your audience/clientele is not Puertoricans then we guess you're making them happy. Boricuas? Nope! Not sure if they don't know how to cook or don't have good recipes or just don't know how to season boricua style. We had a Tripleta & an empanadilla de carne (beef "empanada"). The Tripleta's meat had no flavor what so ever, and tons and tons of Mayo ketchup. The pernil needs TONS of more seasoning and they need to tone down the Mayo ketchup amount to about 5 notches... Then the empanadilla, the dough you can tell it was too dry so it was not smooth, or it had been frozen to death. Then the beef inside was so incredibly dry that couldn't swallow it without drinking tons of fluids and didn't have any flavor either. And on top of that, it was fried like 10 times longer than what should have been cause it was so hard and crispy it was not even funny. You can do better friend; Eddie needs to know better!!! Research genuine Puertorican recipes or call any boricua friends & learn from them! Best of luck!

It's kinda in the middle of no where; but it's on the way to our house. Definitely one of those spots you have to go find. There's no dine in, it's inside a gas station. They serve breakfast/lunch/dinner. I believe on the weekends they offer special items that aren't on the menu. I've been a handful of time and I was lucky enough to get the cerviche. The one thing I absolutely love is that they offer Lengua and Cactus. I've been trying to find a place that serves good Lengua. The tacos are all tasty; the salsas are pretty good. The guy that takes your order is super friendly and remembers faces well. Definitely if you're driving through stop here.
