Guajillos is Life

As a resident of San Antonio, Texas, I am surrounded by amazing cuisine. Whatever your culinary preferences may be, my hometown has a selection for you. Food truck scene? It's here. BBQ? There are places in and around SA that will leave you satisfied. Sushi? Pho? Thai curries? It's all here. Of course in a town with a predominantly Hispanic population, this town has no shortage of great Mexican food choices. The thing is, the choices we have are really better classified as Tex-Mex. While I have no complaint about that (cuz tacos are life), sometimes you get the craving for something a little more authentic.

Therein lies the appeal of a place here in town that captures the heart of true Mexican cuisine. Boasting authentic cuisine from the interior of Mexico, Guajillos - A Shortcut to Mexico, delivers on their promise of an authentic Mexican food experience. You will not find an enchilada or puffy taco on this menu. but you will find a large selection of good food done right. From the fideo and guacamole to start your meal with,  to the wonderful moles, or specialty type dishes like albondigas and chilaquiles with steak, Guajillos delivers solid, tasty authentic cuisine each and every time.

I've tried everything on their menu, and while some dishes aren't in my top ten, it is easy to see why so many love this authentic place. Located at 1001 Northwest Loop 410, there is a certain comfort that comes with knowing that your dishes will come out consistently tasty, always of high quality and with a nod to the country of origin of these dishes. Whichever you choose, I am confident you will have chosen well.

So check it out, and let me know your thoughts! And if my words don't convince you, check out these photos of some of my favorites:
