Great food. Excellent service! We are always greeted with a big smile. Most of the time we choose having Guanatos over In N Out which says a lot for our family!

First time here, randomly found based on high yelp rating. AWESOME. This place is what every mariscos truck wishes it could be. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, and outdoor seating.

This place was so good! It's not very big The food was very fresh and the portions were bigger than I expected :) We got the special tostada and aguachile. The restaurant didn't look very big but it had a constant flow of people. I saw a lot of people come get takeout so that would be a convenient option. They had these aguas de fruta and it was frozen and blended. It was so yummy!

OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! If you don't like their shrimp then something must be wrong with your taste buds because the flavors are so good It's a hole in the wall place but the food and service was amazing 10/10

Patricia and her Taquizas Guanatos team are outstanding! They catered my recent event and we were very happy with the communication, service, and food. The (asada, chicken, adobada) tacos, mulitas, beans, and rice were very tasty and included all the fixings as well as aguas frescas. The portions were more than satisfying and we even had leftover food, which she packaged and left for us to enjoy during the remainder of the party. Thank you Taquizas Guanatos!

Now that we actually came in to eat I can say it is a small place but the food is authentic and delicious. My kids loved their rice and quesadillas. We ordered new things and all were great quality in taste and generous with veggies just how we like. Shrimp taco al gobernador which has grilled veggies and grilled cheese on the tortilla- a Marlin taco which was great in taste and diced up just right so it wasn't over fishy in taste topped with grilled veggies and with grilled cheese on the tortilla. The cóctel de camarón which I don't have a picture of - sorry but i got a small one and the shrimp were never ending. Repeated a levantamuertos cocktail which was really good and tasted just like the one we got delivered through Door Dash. Service was great, ladies behind the counter were super nice and were attentive and helpful with ordering. Glad we were able to go in and sit down and have a nice meal that felt home made and authentic.

I was not impressed with the very poor presentation. First of all, they had promised to be here at 4pm to start and i received a text at 4pm saying they were going to be late, totally understandable if the service was what we expected. I was not told that the meat that was promised(carne asada, chicken and adobada) was not what we ended up with at the time the party started. We had 2 meats instead and was trying to convince us that there was more meat because of the adobada. We called 2 days prior to confirm that everything was good to go and the day of, thats not what we got. My nephew got sick after eating the adobada, which made us not really want to eat that meat afterwards. The serving lady was eating out of the meat which was meant for the guests and drank the drinks. The meat seemed like it was old and was reheated when they arrived, so it was dry. By the way, they stained my newly finished cement with oil we had just laid out. The meat was originally for 50 people, the meat left over and what was served did not seem like it was for that amount of people. Overall, we felt that we got the leftovers from their kitchen. The person who initially took the order was Patricia and though she was very nice and professional( she did give us a $50 discount) we ended up giving that back as a tip and that was for the absence of the third meat as we originally agreed upon. I do not recommend this catering service.(UPDATE)I didnt hire this catering personally, but when it came time for the payment they took my money with no questions asked. When i saw them pulled up with the mex veh plates, i thought for sure these tacos were going to be authentic. Taco bell is better........

I'd give this company zero stars if I could. They catered a family member's birthday party and it was a disaster. The workers were eating most of the time they were working and they were very unprofessional. I am disappointed, especially for how much we paid for their service.

I was visiting National City and was curious about the adobada tacos that some taquerias have here. I heard that El Gordo serves great adobada tacos, but Guanatos is literally just down the blockI ordered the adobada, shrimp, and fish tacos. They're all delicious, altho I think my favorite is the shrimp taco. The breading has a great flavor and the shrimp has a stronger flavor vs the fish. It will be my go-to next time. The adobada taco tastes just like al pastor to me.One of the waitresses didn't speak English, so it's a bit hard to communicate with her. However, the rest of the staff speak English fluently
