We’re a neighborhood restaurant, at our heart. A place for our community to gather, to celebrate, to raise yet another glass and let the good times roll. We believe in bold flavors, cooked simply but beautifully to reflect our Louisiana & Latin Caribbean roots. Focusing on serving dishes in a modern, contemporary atmosphere. We pride ourselves on how each plate of food is bright and vibrant visually. With flavor profiles that are so diverse, bold and featured noteworthy flavor combinations. Our tapas are great for sharing as our menu is comprised primarily of small plate style dishes & main entrees. Along with offering an expansive collection of drinks including no alcoholic beverages. These four walls were meant for you. Bienvenidos Amigos!
"Guacaya Bistreaux, a Latin-Caribbean tapas bar and restaurant with a bit of New Orleans flair, offers a menu with four distinct sections: tierra (earth), mar (ocean), ganado (pasture), and despensa (pantry). Chef Pedro Wolcott’s dishes range from curried mofongo (a Puerto Rican dish of mashed plantains) to bright snapper ceviche to jerk chicken with a poblano risotto. Or grab a seat at the bar, which holds seats for walk-ins, for a pineapple-infused gin and tonic. The restaurant accepts reservations on Resy, and new ones are released monthly on the first of each month for the following month." - Stacy Brooks
