Guendinaxh Juice Bar has been a popular family-owned Mexican restaurant in Gardena for the past 17 years known for it’s delicious tortas, tasty fruit smoothies and great customer service. In the year 2000, the original owner was looking to sell the restaurant, as it was not meeting much success however the new owners, Emma and Antonio Almazan, saw the restaurant’s potential and decided to purchase the small shop to start a family business with their three small children. With this began a new adventure for the Almazan family as they sought to produce the best authentic tortas and fruit juices in the Gardena area.
Guendinaxh Juice Bar quickly became a favorite spot for Gardena locals who commonly refer to it as “the torta place” especially as owner and cook Emma always receives customers with a warm smile. As a family business, it was not uncommon to see the Almazan children working at the shop so many regular customers became accustomed to interacting with the children. The children assisted with taking orders, serving food, making quick deliveries to nearby stores, and much more while sticking to the values of quick and friendly service.
During the recession, the owners feared for their small business, however thanks to Emma and Antonio’s dedication to producing delicious food at fair prices and delivering excellent customer service Guendinaxh Juice Bar was able to remain successful. For the past 17 years, Emma and Antonio have continued to serve only the best for their customers as their vegetable ingredients –onions, tomatoes, avocado, and jalapeños – are cut fresh every day. One of the most popular tortas is the Cubana as it combines their 3 popular meats – Milanesa (breaded steak), Pierna (seasoned pork), and Jamon (ham). Additionally, Guendinaxh Juice Bar offers a wide variety of juice and smoothie combinations using fruit and vegetables that are cut and kept fresh every day.
