So if you're a regular or my reviews, you'll know that I have an Achilles heel when it comes to Al Pastor. I used to have a regular place that I loved to regularly go to in order to indulge my delicious weekness with, but they have sadly changed the recipe and style of their Al Pastor tacos! *shaking fist to the sky* Why God, why?? After years of perfection, they have finally peaked and fallen, which left me without a taco place for my fix . Luckily, I have found my new place to get those delicious little tacos at that know how to marinate, cut, and fry up just perfectly (cooked on a spit with a pineapple on top with big flat pieces cut off and lightly grilled to perfection). It's so mouth wateringly delicious! The texture is crispy but juicy, the marinate isn't spicy but flavorful, and the amount is plentiful per taco but not so much you can't fold it to commute the little sucker in your face thankfully. Other than my Al Pastor tacos for my daughter and I, I picked up a carne asada monarco burrito (mozarella cheese, pico de gallo and guacamole stuffed with steak) for my partner who seemed to be filled and pleased! It was definitely a big burrito and should tame even the hungriest beast of yours. I also was blessed enough to be treated to a cancelation carne asada torta (thanks and good looking out Los Guachos!). The bread was fresh and fluffy, the steak was good (not as good as the Al Pastor IMO but still yum) and half will fill you up if you're someone who doesn't eat a whole bunch and the entire thing would DEFINITELY make you full. The fish taco is crispy and flaky. They serve it in a flour tortilla, which tastes freshly made in house IMO. The Chipotle sauce that they drizzle on top of the fish is smoky and not too spicy, so if you are afraid of it being too hot to enjoy, don't worry. The al pastor gringa YES. JUST YES. Truly, you can't go wrong with the tacos or gringas. The only difference between the gringa and taco really is that it comes with cheese... might be something else in there too, but sadly, I inhaled that too quickly to report... well, it's not sad for me .... You can tell the word has gotten out about here because people were waiting on the parking lot for it to open including myself! So if you're near this place, just GO. Oh, and try that orchata because it won't disappoint .
Los Guachos is so fresh and authentic. My fiancé both enjoyed the steak Tacos, chips and queso. A first time for us both but not last!
Really good street tacos and the jalapeño margarita was on point. The first time I went the young man at the register was just shy of rude. Went back and very polite other workers.
Finally got to try Los Guachos! Went with some family and snagged an al pastor taco and a fried fish taco. The interior is somewhat simple, but spacious, with plenty of seating and a long bar on the right. I tried a Tamarind margarita at dinner which was very tasty! It accompanied my tacos perfectly. Both tacos and the salsa that came on the side were awesome. Would 100 percent eat again. I also ordered one of their alcoholic horchata drinks for dessert-- YUM! I will definitely stop at any of their locations if I am in the mood for pastor tacos, and would absolutely stop in for drinks and dinner with friends in the future.
We came here to celebrate. I was so excited to eat our burritos. I forgot to take a picture of it. I had the veggie burrito with added avocado. My husband had the Don patron steak burrito which is huge! This is our favorite Mexican place it's been kind of better be
3 Gringas al pastor tacos to gobble down. I was quite hungry, (folks, don't judge), and salivating like the dickens when I laid eyes on ALL THE MEEEEAT!! Hot, juicy-as-fluff, spitfire-shaved, and full of flavor! The melted Mexican cheese was icing on the Taco-Cake I wanted to get something to-go, so I picked Los Guachos' Quesadilla Grande with al pastor meat - the addition of pinto beans is what sets this apart from their regular quesadilla. Holy hot-green guacamole, Batman!! Stuffed. STUFFED! Warmed in a skillet since it sat in the fridge for a few hours, this quesadilla was 100 percent fantastic! Thicc as a motha. I was stuffed after only half of this! Mad props to LG's fresh pico de gallo - their's is my FAVORITE around, haven't tasted anything even close, so I'm ELATED I can get it more often now that they have this location on the east side!! **giddy cheers**
