" I could go on and on about the incredible food at La Guanajuato. I ordered a ton of different things to share with my family, and every single one was bursting with so much flavor! The tamales were outstanding, and the street tacos were deliciously authentic. The restaurant gets packed quickly, so arrive early to snag a seat. Don’t let the small size fool you; this little place packs a punch! Absolutely try it! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Guanajuato is a fantastic find if you’re looking for authentic Mexican cuisine. The first time I stepped inside, I was greeted by the aroma of spices and home-cooked meals. My family and I ordered a feast—burritos, tamales, and chips with salsa. Everything was delicious! The only downside was the small dining area, which felt cramped, but I think it's part of its charm. The family running it is so friendly; you can see the love they put into their cooking. We’ll definitely be back and bringing more friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been eating at La Guanajuato for years, and it never disappoints. Today, I tried their enchiladas for the first time, and wow! They were stuffed to the brim with flavorful chicken and topped with a rich, spicy sauce. The owners are kind, and you can feel the family love with each bite. My only complaint is that sometimes the place gets a bit noisy when it's packed. Still, I wouldn't trade their authentic food for anything. Easily my go-to spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" La Guanajuato is the quintessential hidden gem in the city. The tacos are pristine and authentic, reflecting true Mexican traditions. I stumbled upon this place after a friend’s recommendation and have been coming back ever since! The small shop feel adds to the charm even if it can get crowded. I love how personal the service is too; I always feel like part of the family when I walk in. Can't rave enough about the pork tacos; they are divine! " (*Curated Review*)

" This is easily one of my new favorite places in Cedar Rapids! Stopped by for lunch, and the fish tacos were top-notch. I appreciated the generous portions for the price. It’s great that they sell items in their grocery section too. I love a good taco place, but the space is pretty small inside and packed during meal hours. A cozy, homey feel that I can appreciate. I look forward to coming back for dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had lunch at La Guanajuato and discovered their birria tacos. They were heavenly! They come with a rich dipping sauce that enhances the flavor. The atmosphere is casual, which was perfect for a quick lunch. Service was friendly and helpful, though don’t expect a fast turnaround time. If you're in search of authentic flavors, you'll find them here! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at La Guanajuato was culinary bliss! I ordered their burritos and was delighted by how they loaded them with meat and fresh vegetables. The service had a friendly vibe, and I felt welcomed right away. I will say that long wait times can happen, so it's wise to come during off-peak hours. Otherwise, this is a fantastic spot if you're in the mood for authentic Mexican flavors. " (*Curated Review*)
