Have been going to Guanajuatos my whole life - always have a great time when there :) it is a small place that has a cozy atmosphere and friendly waiter. Margarita: 3.5/5 could have been stronger. I am vegan and got the fajitas with extra veggies instead of chicken: 4.5/5 really yummy :) just wish they had more vegan options! My sister and mom liked their dishes but weren't obsessed. A free delicious flan and birthday song for my little sisterOverall I recommend coming here :)

Sergio and the Guanajuato staff were very accommodating for a group event held at the restaurant. Sergio was very responsive during the planning phase and made sure all details were set. The staff were helpful, friendly, and attentive on the night of the event. Thank you, Guanajuato!

Solid! We all enjoyed our food and the service was great. I had the tilapia tacos, my oldest had the carnitas tacos, my youngest had the chicken enchiladas, and the hubs got a gigantic taco bowl. We are stuffed.

The service was good but not the best pina colada. I liked that we were able to get a heat lamp outside for an unseasonably cools summer evening, thank you for accommodating. The guacamole was good, perhaps a little heavy handed on the onions.
