Guanajuato Mexican Restaurant

Very good authentic style Mexican place in Durham. Small so it gets packed and waits happen. Camerones a la Diabla was spicy in a good way. The torta was stuffed. The Pozele was authentic!

We had steak Mexicano and I forgot the name of the other one(chicken, rice, bean, salad). They were soooo good and they gave you a lot of food for this price. It's about $15-16 each. It's a small restaurant next to a gas station and you wouldn't imagine they have such good food. Most people who dine here are local Hispanic and you can tell food would be food. The only thing is that the mean is kind of hard to read so if you are new, it may take quite a while to read it. But for sure will be back next time.

The food was hot and fast. I ordered 3 chorizo tacos and they were a little salty. The salsa was spicy and delicious. Next time I’ll get a variety of tacos.

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.

10/10 it was perfect. I love little spots like this. You can tell someone’s abuela is back there doing her thing . Please go check this place out. It brings that feeling like you’re eating real Mexican food, not something another culture is trying to imitate.

This is TRULY an authentic Mexican restaurant with dishes from the state of Mexico. I am very picky about my Mexican food and this here left me talking numerous times about how delicious things were. Also with every dish each person gets their own homemade corn tortillas (5-6) so you have enough to eat with your food! You don't have to share!! It is extremely affordable and the quantity of food you get is enormous. I kid you not. Everything is freshly prepared and served hot! I will always come back here to eat. Note- a local told us that the wait times to be seated are loooong so a lot of people call in to order food and enjoy at home.

Omg... I thought N.C didn't have good Mexican food. My how I was wrong. Durham has it covered. Found this place, recommended by my fellow workers. Can't say enough of how lucky I was to discover such a place. Check out my dinner, Mole and Tacos! 5 star all the way! Don't mind the line of people ordering. The food comes fast and often. I'm happy as can be!
