    Consistently high quality, fresh ingredients. Hand carved meats and fresh fish are why we keep coming back.

    THIS IS PROVBABLY THE 10TH COUPLE THAT WE HAVE OINTRODUCED TO GUANAJATO AND IT NEVER HAS DISAPPOINTED! THE SPECIALTY MARGARITA S (DE ORO AND THE BLACK ROSEMARY) ARE THE BEST AND THE EL MOCAHETE AND STEAK FAJITASARE FAVORITES. THE SERVICHE AND CASA FUNDIDO ARE GREAT APPETIZERS. ALWAYS HELPFUL WAIT STAFF. CHECK IT OUT!

    Overall, everything was really good. The atmosphere was buzzing, and our server Gustavo was great. A solo guitarist entertained nicely. The table salsa was great. The soups were excellent, the enchiladas and tacos very good. The amount of food was very generous. However, things were less than ideal when the entrees were brought while we were still in the middle of the soup course. Very disruptive. The dishes were just plunked down in front of us and we had to make room. We probably should have sent them back but didn’t want to be jerks.
