So good! Guanajuato, now known as Mexico Lindo Y Querido, is a staple for authentic Mexican food in North Durham, with great prices & portions. Today, we got the Pollo a la Mexicana Platter (Grilled Chicken w/ bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, & jalapeños), a Chicken Pupusa, three Tacos (Pollo, Pastor, and Asada), and Agua de Papaya. In the past, I've also had the Horchata, Carnitas Taco, Hawaiana Platter, and Chicken Mole. Honestly, I've never gotten a bad item from this spot. Service is friendly; ambiance is casual & usually bustling, with a lot of tables and good parking. It does take some time to get the food, but the wait is worth it. 9/10 would recommend!
I love this restaurant, I live about 20 minutes away from here and i rather come here them my local mexican restaurant
Delicious, authentic food at a good price. The portions were good and you could tell everything was homemade. Definitely will be going back!
As a native Texan, (at least feeling somewhat qualified) I have to say that they have some top notch stuff, super impressed :) it's a pretty cozy space to grab a quick bite or even a sit-down meal. They have a pretty wide variety of options, but you definitely can't go wrong with their tacos! Super affordable and will leave you feeling satisfied and full. Everyone is really friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. Definitely recommend! Especially their asada, chorizo, and lengua tacos! Will be back to try other things on the menu too. Bonus: they have their own parking lot which is nice!
My friends and I came here after a day trip to Durham. We came at a later lunch hour with a mostly empty eating area that quickly filled up with locals as it became 4-5 pm. The menu is featured on a whiteboard and available in Spanish and English, and a friendly cashier took any questions. I ordered three tacos - chorizo, pastor, and carnitas with a Mexican coke. The three tacos were street taco style and a good portion that left you satisfied and full. The meat was not dry and tasted as you expected it - delicious. My friends ordered tacos, pupusas, and caldo de cameron. The pupusas were huge and two servings are definitely fulfilling and tasted amazing. The caldo de cameron was a great size and well seasoned and spiced with a great portion of shrimp and carrots. Throughout the meal, we kept telling each other how amazing the food tasted and also how comfortable the eatery was. This def showed as the dining area quickly filled up with regulars, students, and others craving good food. It's great food that serves the community and leaves you wanting to more by planning a second trip back. I loved the food and can't wait to try more.
Solid four stars. The Quesabirria was very good and the broth even had chickpeas lurking at the bottom. The tacos al pastor were pretty good and the aguas have numerous chunks of fresh fruit floating in them. The carnitas, liver, and lamb barbacoa were not all that. A little dry, maybe not as flavorful as could be. The staff speaks English and the menu is mostly bilingual. Order at the counter, have a seat, and your food will be delivered to you.
Delicious food!!!! I highly recommend. Service is great. Place is perfect for family dinner. Private parking lot. I love this place. Ambiance is family style.
Popped in for lunch, today. I ordered pollo tacos y pollo pupusas YUMMMM! If you are looking for authentic Mexican food in North Durham this is your place. Be sure to try one of their fresh juices with your meal. You'll thank me later :)
Came on a Saturday evening. There was designated parking with some open slots. Got 1 pastor, 1 suadero, and 1 carnitas. Also go the horchata Ambiance: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 food came out relatively quickly Food: 5/5 The three tacos were really filling! They all were amazing! Loved the grilled onions, peppers and jalapeños that came with each person's platter. The meat for all of them was surprisingly tender and well seasoned in contrast to the typical over cooked meat in tacos. My wife said it was the best tacos she's had in NC! Price: 5/5 relatively cheap tacos This will be one of our go to spots! The soups/stews looked delicious too!
