Great in person, not so great by delivery.
Kind people, delicious food, and fair prices. I have never been disappointed when I go eat in at the restaurant and bring new people to try it all the time.
However when I ordered the BOGO chicken fajita arepa combo for myself and a friend on uber eats, all 4 arepas had 1 small piece of shredded chicken and 2 small grilled onions and peppers.. practically empty. I felt totally ripped off.
I also bit into something that hurt my teeth in their slaw (also delivery). If there weren’t snacks in the house that night we would have gone to bed hungry. :(
I’ll come back in person any day, but probably won’t be ordering delivery from here again. They really are nice people and the food is very good, but the food is made completely different when you’re standing there watching verses when you have to trust them to send it to you right. I hope things change! -
My partner and I were in the area and decided to stop in for a quick bite because this place looked open and inviting. And we were totally right! It was a super-cute, minimalist restaurant.
They specialize in arepas – and man, they were good! It was a fun and new spot to eat in the Durham area. The only “issue” I had was that in my Arepa, I got beans, and they made the sandwich fall apart – which is not good eats…
But, other than that, we had a good experience, and I would go back! -
I love the Avocado Chicken here, but every time I order arepas to go it’s an unpleasant surprise. Unfortunately this time my arepa came extremely burnt, it was crunchy like a chip and thin as paper. It’s disappointing because the flavor is usually great, but the quality of the arepas when ordering to-go has been very inconsistent.

Guasaca Durham was an excellent choice for a larger catered dinner we hosted for around 50 people. The quality of the food, variety, and amount was exceptional. The delieverer, Enardo, was so hospitable, set everything up for us right on time, and made clear what everything was. The fillings and sauces gave plenty of variety and choices even for our guests with special dietary needs. Guasaca Durham was the best choice to cater our event and helped our guests feel extra special and cared for. Thank you, Guasaca Durham!

Relatively healthy, fresh food with a Latin American root. Can be high in sodium but tasty.
Gets the job done on a budget and a time crunch. Prefer the "Skip the Line" to the bowl.
The rice can be a bit hard at times and the bowl got a family member of mine terribly sick once. HOWEVER, coworkers have had numerous bowls with no issues. The avocado chicken in the arepa is my favorite but it is a bit salty. Meals/ arepas can be a bit greasy because of the cheese. Hot sauce is very tasty. Restaurant is very clean..toilets however, can do with an upgrade. Staff is friendly and polite. Will return.
