Guisados is quality over quantity. Don't expect huge portions. That said the horchata was probably the best I've ever had. The eggs were fluffy, not overly cooked, potatoes had a lot of flavor, and salsa roja had a nice kick, but not overly spicy. First time here, and definitely won't be the last.

Real and authentic Mexican food. Have some tacos and save space for a tamal.

Full Mexican experience with hand made tortillas and Juan Gabriel music 🎼 in the background. I tried tacos de chile relleno and mole poblano. Riquísimos

They got house made tortillas, really good horchata and the food is really really good. If you get any tacos with a spice level of 8 or higher, definitely get horchata with it because it's very spicy but delicious. As of today it's my new favorite Mexican food spot

We found ourselves facing an uphill battle on New Years Day, Rose Bowl Parade, no where open, raining, morale was at an all time low.

Walking down the road we stumbled upon Guisados. BOOM saved the day. Elite breakfast burritos, elite service, and some of the most pristine/fresh limes I’ve ever seen in my days.

Modelos on deck as well. What a time. What an establishment.

Celebrating 15 years of Guisados the only way you should — by eating our way through their Pasadena location🤤🎉 From OG classics to refreshing sips, this spot continues to prove why it’s an LA staple.

We kicked things off with their aguas frescas, the perfect balance of sweet + refreshing. Then dove straight into their ceviche, bright, citrusy, and loaded with flavor in every bite.

Next up: the chicken tamale — soft, steamy, comforting, and everything you want in a tamal done right💛

But the real star? The OG Mini Taco Sampler. A little lineup of all their greatness in one plate. My top picks:
🌶 Mole Poblano — rich, complex, and slightly sweet
🔥 Chicharrón — melt-in-your-mouth tender with all that slow-braised goodness
🌮 Bistek en Salsa Roja — bold, saucy, and full of flavor

If you haven’t been to Guisados yet, consider this your sign. And if you have… you already know the obsession is real🫶🏼

Consistently delicious. Spacious place. Nice staff .
Prices aren't clearly shown, if at all, which is not great. Order some food and roll the dice on the price.

I love the cochinita pibil, kinda of sweet to be honest. Shrimp tacos were chef kiss too, but be aware are spicy! I was crying and I considered myself good eating spicy. Beautiful music in Spanish and the fact that they have parking was worth the hour driving from Orange.
