Reviews for Guajillo’s The Shortcut to Mexico in San Antonio, TX

I?ve been coming here for years and although they may have slipped a little, it?s still a really good place for lunch, in my... opinion. I will not visit this place outside of lunch because I find it?s too pricey otherwise. Yes, the portions are largerbut, for me not worth it. Lunch is where it?s at. Sadly, tea is no longer included in the lunch specials. I have always had andwill always continue to have the Tacos de Alambre. They?re delicious. The plate is cheesy and warm with all the different meatsmixed it. There?s a nice addition of peppers and onions to the meat that makes it so savory. I prefer my tacos with flourtortillas and, although they?re good, they are not homemade. The fideo is probably one of the better ones you?re going to findaround town so don?t skip on that. Order it with extra lime. Salsa is always tasty and hot! Put some of that in your fideo aswell! Chips are ok but usually stale and broken into a zillion pieces so I tend to ask for a fresh basket. Their service is goodand although it seems you got more bang for your buck in prior years, it?s still a great place to visit when you?re looking forsomething other than Tex Mex. Read more

Ordered through favor. As soon as the delivery came to our office, the delivery person apologized for the leaks, saying they... asked for them to be repackaged, but were disregarded then ignored by the woman at the front. After calling the restaurantmyself, I completely believe them. This "owner" validated every part of the deliverers story other than being asked torepackage. Not only was the food messy, but the plates were just ugly looking. The pollo en mole verde sauce was separatingshowing poor cooking and was the most unattractive plate I've ever seen. It looked like they tried to package green soup in afoldable container. Just awful. Said owner spent most of the phone call arguing with me rather than even listening, never mindmaking it right. Even finding a middle ground if the restaurant truly was not at fault, would have required some form ofinterest in customer service. Poor first experience. The man who initially answered the phone should be in charge while theactual owner is away. Read more

Good Mexican food, pretty authentic, but some major bummers, tortillas are not made in store, and Aguas are not natural, but the... instant kind, I wonder what other shortcuts they do. But the food is good. Another downer was the guacamole, it was just theplain guacamole, no salt or seasoning, no lime juice very plain, and the small chips were no help, most were cracked into smallpieces, but again the food is good. Get there early as parking is limited near the entrance, they do have parking in the back.Get a bit chaotic, when busy, the owner/Manager? Is involved with the people. Not a great place, but good.

Okay listen. I live in Nebraska. I?ve spent my share of time here in San Antonio. I?m staying at a hotel close by. I woke up... this afternoon and asked the hotel staff where the best ?Tex Mex? restaurant is close by. He recommended this place. You?ll seein the photo why this made me laugh when I arrived. I?m so happy right now. My tastebuds are dancing. I immediately ordered atop shelf Margarita to try it. Heavy pour, delicious flavor. I am extremely picky with my margaritas and this one absolutelynailed it. I switched to tequila on the rocks after as I do not like much sugar. The chips and salsa were served promptly whenI sat down. While the chips do not appear to be homemade, they are light and airy and the perfect saltiness. The salsa?lol. Ican?t even. It?s tasty, got some serious kick to it. It?s perfect. They aren?t shy with the chiles here. I asked the waitresswhat to order. She recommended the dorados de frijole or fried bean taco. Excellent. These beans are fabulous. Then I orderedthe Asada de Puerco which is spicy pork served with tortillas, rice and beans. Okay. Just delicious. Great flavor and verytender. Only a little kick n the pork compared to the salsa. The rice was perfectly cooked and the beans?.guys the beans. Iimmediately told my husband how happy I was. Food is my love language. He?s back in Nebraska and knows how much good food makesme happy. I highly recommend this restaurant. I will be back the next time I layover here. Read more

I had the mole verde with calabaza/squash and my friend had the tinga chicken. Everything was delicious--you can taste how... everything is homemade. The alcohol drinks looked great. Read more

Highly recommended by a friend for delicious authentic Mexican food. We went on a Friday for a late breakfast and ordered the... tortilla soup and chilaquiles special. The soup was savory with roasted chiles. The crispy chilaquiles were served with refriedbeans and beef or shredded chicken. Went back two weeks later and got their tacos de alambre special and it was absolutelydelicious! Will definitely return!! Read more

Aguascalientes style of Mexican food. It was great very filling did not even finish it. Bowl of Fideo soup, taco's 3 corn... tortillas covered with diced beef steak, diced chicken and diced pork. Covered with cheese. Onion and cilantro as an extratopper. The onion and cilantro can be added to the fideo soup. Read more

Delicious and wholesome comfort food soups. Chicken green pazole was next level and the hominy the best so far. Salsa has... delicious flavor like the neighborhing Sabor de Guanajuato and others but with a little more kick so that was a pleasantsurprise. Read more
