Guanajuato Contemporary Mexican Tequila

Delicious food and great service. All around pleasant and welcoming staff. Greeted warmly. Sat on nice patio overlooking street. Pretty flowers. Unbelievably great chicken molcajete. Blend of flavors was unusual. Can’t wait to get again. Crab enchiladas were wonderful. These are almost impossible to find. Generous portion with lots of crab meat. Roasted pineapple margarita was one of the best drinks ever. Tasty salsa and chips. Big balls of fried ice cream for dessert. Must try!

This place was recommended by Diane at Lifetime Fitness as I’m always up for trying Mexican places especially in the North Shore. I have to support el gente! Unfortunately they didn’t support me. My son and I came here for lunch and we were really greeted as the bartender served as the host and a few other employees were doing stuff around the restaurant. We were seated and my son was hungry so I ordered his food right away which was Quesadillas con Queso. They came out quick but it would’ve been helpful to let me know the rice was a little spicy. If you need a high chair for someone at the table, you should probably let them know about the spice in the rice. Other than that, he ate the food. I asked for milk as well. I ordered the Carne Asada (yes a heavy my lunch order) but obvs I was hungry. It was very good and had some sort of marinade but couldn’t figure out what it was. The rice and beans were bad as the rice didn’t taste fresh and the beans were blah. Also I had to ask for more corn tortillas since I only got 3. Also the salsas were mediocre. The service was ok and I was never asked what I wanted to drink. My biggest beef was when other patrons (all Caucasian) walked into the restaurant, they were greeted immediately and made a hell of a lot more welcome than us. It was weird to hear how over accommodating that same person who was on his computer when we walked in, jumped off his seats for the other patrons walking in. The nicest person by far was a women who brought me more tortillas and actually engaged with my son. No need to come back here but cmon gente, get it together when fellow gente walk in.

Ordered carry-out that was supposed to be ready in 45 minutes. Waited an hour past that for the food. Half of the chips were burnt and none of them had much salt. The house salsa didn’t taste like much and went bad the next day. The green one and the spicy one were pretty good. They messed up one of our orders and said they would credit us but didn’t. Called a week later and they said they would fix it but they didn’t. Called back the following week and this time they hung up on me. I will take up the dispute with my credit card company. They aren’t very familiar with vegan and think it means gluten free. Order with caution if there are any food allergies.

I guess being contemporary in their language means rude. We waited for acknowledgment by any of the three stuffers at the patio where only two tables were occupied...it did not happen...we left...there are better places with much more friendly stuff! Service: 1
