Guayaba Latin Grill

Hostile Owner!!!... stay way.....



I have been in Guayaba Grill (US 249) several times. Music is good (excellent latin band); however, food suck, temperatur inside is very hot so after just one dance it is uncomfortable hot and humid (it is done un purpose by owner to accelerate drinking), drink selection is poor. Last couple time there, my wife and I witness couple disgustting issues.



(1) First visit: a customer dropped his drink by accident and restaurant is not prepare to clean a wet floor. Waitres decided to use table cloths to dry dancing floor...... yes, same table cloths they will use to dress table where you eat later.......



(2) Second visit 2 weeks later: I brought a couple friend of us for the first time (unfortunately we recomended place becuase music). We were in table and my friend wife asked for a glass of wine however it was so bitter/bad she returned it inmeditately after first sip. We all ordered other drinks such Cuba Libre, beer, scotch on the rock. Couple hours lates and after several drinks, we asked for the check. Well....., we found her first glass wine was still there. We asked charge were removed since wine was spoiled, she did not drink it and retruned it inmediately.... ...... Well, the owner show up in our table with a cop behind, extremely rude, insulting them saying BIG SH..... words and demanding us to pay $5 glass of wine.......we found out this was the OWNER!!!!.... and behaving like a gang street member or drug mafia boss demanding his $5 ....... his "body guard" a Houston police on duty just maintaining distance and waiting to see if we become "violent"........ we decided to pay his $5 cheap wine and avoid an incident but NEVER will put a step in such the place...... it is defenitely low class place with a gangster has owner.Avoid it you can. IT is a shame since it is among few tropical latin options in the US249 area ...... This poor guy won his $5 ....but lost 4 customer for ever......



honestly, avoid this place......

OMG!!!! Love this place I love the new management great food awesome drinks perfect service its incredible is so family oriented I will come back again to eat the brunch Sunday love it!!!!!!

I travel extensively with work to all areas of the nation, and some in the Caribbean. I was staying at a hotel near Guayaba and decided to give it a try about three months ago. I have made several trips to Houston since and I will ALWAYS frequent this restaurant. Great mix of flavors in the food, great mojitos, nice/friendly service, great background live music (if you go for the Sunday brunch). I would recommend this restaurant above any others I have been to in San Fran, NY, Dallas, ATL, MSP, Turks & Caicos ---- just go here. Reasonably priced, as well.
