Our evening at Guanajuato last night was nothing short of delightful. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. The food was simply divine, with standout dishes like the flavorful salmon tacos leaving a lasting impression. My husband, Aunt, and I couldn't help but revel in the deliciousness of every bite. One highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the spicy margarita, expertly crafted and perfectly complementing the delectable guacamole. It was evident that each element of our meal had been thoughtfully curated to provide a memorable culinary journey. However, what truly elevated our experience was our exceptional server, Sergio. His friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm were contagious, turning a regular dinner into a delightful affair. Sergio's attentiveness and charm made us feel right at home, as if we were dining at the restaurant of a dear friend. The ambiance of Guanajuato further enhanced our evening, with cozy surroundings adorned with regional artwork that transported us to the heart of Mexico. The stunning wall adorned with Mexican "Milagros" Heart artwork added a touch of cultural richness to the atmosphere. We left Guanajuato with full hearts and satisfied palates, grateful to have such a gem in close proximity. Our experience was nothing short of exceptional, and we eagerly anticipate our next visit to savor more of the culinary delights and warm hospitality that define this charming Mexican restaurant.

We made a reservation for 2 at 6:30. Because they overbooked or were seating walk ins without reservations. we had to sit at a communal table. Never happened before! Service and food were great,

My wife and I decided to try a new restaurant, and chose Guanajuato. Sergio, the manager, was great and very accommodating, and the staff was very attentive. The the place had an "upbeat vibe," too. Also, the food was outstanding--the best Mexican food we've had in a while. We'll be back.

Not authentic Mexican food. The guacamole and salsa tasted like it came out of a jar. Queso had way too much meat and barely any cheese on it. Came out warm and not hot even though its on a hot iron. Waiter literally forgot our drinks. Took forever for him to come back. My Mahi Mahi tacos were so bad I only ate 1 out of the 3. Both my husband and friend ordered the combination plate. Was ok. Not great but edible. Crab ceviche was ok. We didn't even want to try the desserts. I am just shocked at how bad this place is with such great reviews. Sure miss La Case De Isaac!

First time coming in and we were very impressed. All the food was fresh and flavorful. The noise level was great for date night which can't be said about many other loud Mexican restaurants in the area. We will be back.

This Mexican restaurant is a true gem. They serve the best Palomas and margaritas in the city. My personal favorite is the skirt steak and shrimp Mar Y Tierra - a delightful combination served with flour or corn tortillas and side salad. The enchiladas and their El Molcajete dish are equally impressive, offering a burst of flavors. Beyond the delicious food, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere adds to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience. Whether you're a fan of refreshing drinks, flavorful dishes, or a welcoming ambiance, this Mexican restaurant has it all. Highly recommended for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.
The nice and tart Skinny Margherita is a treat. So glad to see crab enchilada on the menu, but then disappointed about how salty the sauce was. My meal partner loved the taco salad (ground beef version). We'll go back for sure. The service is terrific!

My absolute favorite restaurant for all occasions! I could eat there everyday. The vibes are fun, and every menu item is fresh and has a great depth of flavor. My favorite is the Carne Asada or the Enchiladas Margarita. It's perfect for date night, big family dinners, birthday meals, a casual lunch, or ordering take out! Also, Margarita, the owner (who's from Guanajuato, Mexico) is the sweetest. Many of her staff have worked there for many years, which makes it a friendly place to become a regular.

We keep coming back because everything about Guanajuato is wonderful. The food, service and ambiance are the best. If authentic Mexican food is what you're looking for, this is hands-down the best place to go on the North Shore.

Food wasn't so good. My fajitas were over cooked, my partners enchiladas were dry/over microwaved. Service was ok, our server seemed very new but did the best she could do. Considering it was New Years Eve we will try again.
