La Guadalupana is a renowned Mexican restaurant known for its homemade tamales, available on Fridays and Saturdays. The salsa verde and other dishes are prepared in-house, contributing to their authentic and delicious flavors. The service is prompt, and while the establishment is compact, it offers an authentic Mexican culinary experience. The empanadas, tacos, and sopes are highly recommended.
Customers praise the quality of the ingredients, with one reviewer noting that the food is not "drowning in cheese or tomato sauce that tastes like a tin can." The owners are described as creating a welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant's converted single-family home setting and gravel parking lot add to its charm, and the aroma of homemade cooking greets customers as soon as they walk in.
The fajita quesadillas are incredible, with really tender slow-roasted and marinated chicken in the chicken version, and delicious and juicy marinated shrimp in the shrimp version. The carnitas tacos are also AMAZING. The food is incredible, very affordable, and the service is great. Customers highly recommend the double meat Milanesa Torta or the Asada (steak) Burrito.
