On the plus side, Guanajuato is attractive and our booth in the rear room was very comfortable. Outdoor tables were also inviting. Unfortunately the quiet booth we asked for was right next to a table for 10 that was soon occupied by a large party of partying young women. No more quiet. Our food varied in quality. My husband and I thought our food was average. My fish tacos were very bland and I could only down them with lots of salsa (also bland). Even the chips were average....

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!
