La Guagua

This was one of the best meals I've had in a long time! The food was authentic and elevated! I will definitely be back!

Must try!!
Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Nicaraguan (and many more) mix.
We were at the Waterfront Festival and decided to see what was in the area for dinner. We came across La Guagua on Google maps and the menu looked good. It's right down the street in the Suisun Marina Center. There is plenty parking. It is a couple doors down from True Symmetry Brewery.
We came in and it was busy. You order at the counter and then find a seat. There are about 8 tables (2 and 4 tops) and some counter seats.
There are plenty menu choices. We decided on the following -
Chorizo empanadas fritas - These are delicious. The chorizo is meaty and mild in flavor wrapped on a crispy pastry. The sauces it came with were good.
Papa rellenas w/cheese - they were good but this is more of something my hubby enjoys. Potato balls with cheese in the center.
Pan con Lechon - This is a MUST try. The lechon is tender, cooked perfectly. I was impressed with the made in-house Cuban bread. You get plenty of fries with your order. Option of fries or sweet potatoes fries.
Bistec Encebollado -
This is a great plate! The steak marinade (and or seasoning) is VERY good. Steak is tender. Onions are cooked perfectly. All sides he got with this plate compliment the steak. Rice, salad, and sweet plantains. Sweet plantains are my hubby's favorite, he especially enjoyed them.
Habanero Salsa - just a small side of spicy goodness. My hubby likes spicy with his food and really enjoyed this.
Pastelitos de Guava - To top off all the amazingness this guava pastry is definitely made with love. I am planning on buying some for the holidays. Thank you for the treat!
All in all we were 100% happy with our meal and visit. We were sitting there after our meal talking about we enjoyed everything we tried. Flavors are not missing nor do they overpower. They have a huge selection of drinks from everywhere. Jarritos, Colombiana, Milca, Materva, Inca Cola, Guarana, Jupina and more.
We really enjoy the restaurant Sol Food in San Rafael we are happy we have something similar closer. We will be back. Breakfast looks very good.
The staff is helpful and friendly. We spoke with one of the owners who let us know they have only been open for 2 months. We cannot wait to come back. Make sure you stop and try!

Went back for breakfast. Definitely a must try. Get the orange juice.
Sandwich Revoltillo - Great filling breakfast sandwich. Don't forget to add some of the habaner salsa.
Tortilla Argentina - Good portion. Baked egg, cheese potatoe omelet.
Included pics of the breakfast items.

My husband and I tried this place a few weeks ago for the first time, and have been back several times since.
We've tried the empanadas, every pastry, breakfast sandwiches, tacos nica, cubano, alfajores, buñuelos and multiple flavors of latte. Everything is always perfect, and we'll continue to visit and try new things. Highly recommend.

La Guagua is truly a hidden gem in this shopping center. I've always had an issue with restaurants in Suisun City claiming to be cafes but they serve no pastries or speciality coffees. La Guagua offers both and is probably the only real cafe here.

The shop is cute little thing with simple decorations, coffee bar, pastry display and enough tables to handle the morning traffic.
Since the pictures I took were during one of my breakfast trips I'll keep it to that.

I've been here a few times now and I always order the guava pastelito! It is a buttery n flakey delight with the perfect amount of filling. I also ordered the number 4 breakfast sandwich in a bagel which was delicious!

What shines here besides the pastry selection is the coffee options. Everything I've had has been a hit and they offer decaf and milk substitutes for all their drinks.

Overall, I very much enjoy this place and I'm surprised it's not jam packed. Staff is wonderful and I'll probably make this place a near daily occasion.

I was very excited to try this new place out at the Suisun Marina and it did not disappoint! Walking in, I immediately got a cozy feeling and enjoyed the chill atmosphere. The service was quick and the staff were so wonderful! I ordered three things: the chorizo empanada, tostones rellenos, and hamburguesa latinas.

The empanada was fantastic! The crust was crispy and flaky while the chorizo itself was full of flavor. The dish also came with two dipping sauces. I dont know what they were called but both tasted very good and paired well with the chorizo flavor.

The tostones rellenos were three plantain cups filled with different toppings. I really loved the the one filled with mozzarella. The cheese was so gooey and melty and amazing. The ropa vieja was so tender to the touch and juicy. And the garlic shrimp tasted so bright and fresh! This was a standout dish because you get to taste a little bit of everything.

Lastly, the hamburguesa was delicious! It was very juicy! It was a blend of beef and pork and the usual burger fixings. Their special sauce makes it stand out from other burgers and it didn't leave me feeling very heavy like a lot of American burgers typically would. The sweet potato fries were also crisp and have that familiar flavor we all know and love.

I thoroughly enjoyed La Guagua! I will definitely come back to try their other foods and their coffee. I highly recommend you do too!
