Guanajuato Carnicerias looked like they typically had good products. It looked like they had a good selection and variety of foods. I was grateful they had a parking lot. They also had a dining area. It looked like they had food you could order from a small restaurant and/or taqueria. It looked like they also had some grab-n-go items. read more

We've been here a couple times already. We tried their burritos with lengua the first time. They were good. Plenty of meat, and we subsisted the lettuce and tomatoes with rice. It makes a huge difference but overall a very delicious and affordable burrito. The second time, we ordered their menudo. It was also very delicious and very inexpensive compared to their competitors nearby. Will definitely be returning here. read more

I went to try their Torta's, I ordered a milanesa de res torta. It was the worst torta I ever had. The meat was tough and did not taste fresh. Must have been premade. The bun was toasted to a slightly burnt crisp, also not fresh. I do not recommend this place. read more

This review is for the restaurant inside the grocery store, where they serve tacos, burritos, tortas, and gorditas. It was feature in one of the older episodes of "Chicago's Best." I remembered that the carnitas torta Ted Brunson was feeding in his mouth looked irresistible! I finally paid a visit to this place tonight. Hubby and I both had the carne asada tortas. I friendly reminded hubby that the vegetarian options were available, but he seemed to tune out my words and wanted to be a carnivore for the time being. Those tortas were quite large for $4.85 each. They were loaded with meat, avocados, and lettuce. Everything is made-to-order, so waiting is to be expected. Those tortas were definitely worth the money! The meat had great flavors, and they didn't skimp on meat, avocados and other ingredients. I didn't think they take credit cards at the restaurant, but all you need is five (5) bucks to fill up your stomach. By the way, it would certainly help if you can speak some Spanish. I speak pretty decent "food Spanish" since I'm a foodie, but hubby did the entire ordering in Spanish. The orders were called-out in Spanish as well, so be sure to pay attention. One of many joys of living in Chicago is the adventure of the food scenes. Honestly, many of them happen in the nondescript neighborhood like Belmont Central/Cragin. I'm glad that I found another neighborhood gem this evening, and I know there are many more to come as I explore further. read more

Carniceria Guanajuato - Torta carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Big tacos, fresh ingredients. The meat selection is amazing and high quality. The carnitas are succulent and rich in flavor.

Called to see if they sold top sirloin cap to save a possible trip to the store, where the employee responded, "come here and find out" and hung up the phone. read more

Great Gorditas, very toasty on the outside and the meat is great quality. Very clean and organized store.

For years, this was the Queen's pharmacy for many years. When this store opened it was a welcome to the area. Clean location. Fully stocked. Great cuts of meat, ham and cheese. Friendly staff. The bonus also is having a taqueria right inside. Pick up some groceries for tomorrow and dinner for tonight. Walking location for anyone in the area of diversey and Austin. Plenty of parking in the front and rear. Great location. read more

Carniceria Guanajuato - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I've been to the location on Ashland Ave. numerous times for tacos. So when I was nearby this location, I figured I'd stop in for a couple tacos. Not a good idea. A few hours after I ate a couple tacos from this place, I got food poisoning. Took me almost 2 days to get over it. Not good at all. Maybe I got unlucky and got part of a bad batch, but after my experience, I don't think I'll give them a second chance. I'll stick to the tacos at the Ashland Avenue location. read more

Slow service , bad food my tacos were all fat . Parking is a nightmare . Smells musty and dirty when you enter . Must have been allot of dust or something , really worked up my asthma read more

The restaurant inside this grocery store has really good chicken tacos. Everything you love about street vendor tacos, quick, cheap and tasty with the added convenience of being able to grab a few groceries while you wait for your lunch/dinner. They also have really great specials during the week. You can get a burrito for only $2.99! read more

Just moved from Logan Square, where I had access to Jimenez. I'm thinking that all is well, since I have a Guanajuato nearby. Went there for the first time last Saturday, and... They're out of two things I'm looking for -- Romaine lettuce and guacamole. And at 11:30 on Saturday morning! Broccoli (also something I wanted) was an overcast green color. My wife tells me to give them another chance. I'm willing, but so far, I'm going to try to make excuses to make a trip to Logan Square to stop at Jimenez. read more

Great store! Great selection! Great management! Seriously, the ONLY place to go for Mexican groceries & bomb-ass tacos!!! read more

These are some of my favorite hole in the wall tacos in the north side Belmont-Cragin neighborhood. Good carnitas to-go on deck. Don't let the small store setting be the judge of the good food inside. read more

This taqueria/grocery store doesn't get enough love on yelp! Guanajuato has some of the best tacos in the city! Their horchata is very tasty too! They just remodeled the dining area which makes me happy because its a lot more comfortable and the decor is cute without being cheesy. If you are looking to eat some authentic and tasty tacos or tortas, visit Carniceria Guanajuato especially if you don't visit the northwest side of Chicago often! read more

I I just seen a guy bites his fingernail off and spit it behind the counter where he was cooking my food. Then I finish shopping and have a cart full of groceries and they tell me that I cant have bags. I would have to buy some. I never had to pay for bags in the past. Then the all start laughing like it's funny. The food is way over priced there as it is. I am sorry but I can't eat there anymore. Rude and nasty. read more

I really only come here for there little taqueria they have.. The place is always packed!! So expect to have patience and more patience. The parking lot to this place is always a big headache at times because the store seems to always be busy, which is a plus since they are a grocery store as well. I've come here on several occasions and the food is always up to par, the steak is never too salty or overly burned. But be weary that sometimes they do run out of meat such like chicken, but when they have it it is rather good. The price you pay is pretty reasonable, it's a pretty big taco loaded with meat and whatever else you desire on it. The language barrier can be a bit frustrating even for those who speak fluent Spanish! lol so be patient my friends. I've never actually sat and ate there because it's so busy I am quick to just want to get my food and GO!.. there does always seem to be a lady who cleans the tables and counters as quickly as she can so the place isn't a dump.But it's not 5 star either!! lol If you're in the area and what some decent traditional tacos this place is it ! read more

This review is concerning both the Taqueria and presentation of the store. As I am walking towards the entrance I notice there is what seems to be sewer/dirty water leading up to the entrance that absolutely stinks. I walk inside and there is a weird smell in the store (different than the dirty water smell). I look past the smell and head towards the taqueria. I order I get home and I notice the taco meat (both asada and carnitas) are warm/room temperature and I live close by. I loved their tacos and I think I will go to the Fullerton location. To MGMT: Pay attention to the presentation of your store. read more

This review considers the taqueria only. The good: cheap, with even cheaper specials on particular styles of meat such as lomo encebollado. Not shy with the portions of meat. The bad: gristle, bone. The ugly: the dining area consistently looks like a dozen two-year-olds have dined in there all day, every day. No surface unsullied by food and beverage. read more

The best carne asada tacos and burritos... excellent. If I'm gonna eat Mexican food this is it nothing else around is better

I really like the ambiance of the store. They have nice paintings on the walls. The staff here is very friendly and this is def my favorite place to go shopping for Mexican food. They also have very fresh meat that is cut to ordered and at prices that are very affordable. the lighting in the place is very bright and you can definitely tell that they like to keep the place clean. That is always a big plus. I also like the fact that they have a taco shop inside the grocery store. They offer a wide variety of produce at cheap prices too! Will def keep going there for my groceries and whenever i want a bite to eat too! read more

Fast, quick service and great tacos, burritos and tortas. You can never go wrong here.. read more

Amazing how I've forgotten these kind of places have some of the best tacos! Went in for groceries, but came out eating tacos hahaha!! Their pastor and lengua tacos are da bomb!! They really pack the meat in that tasty tortilla! WAY Better than El Gordo's! Although this store is a little overpriced when compared to Mariano's or other grocery stores, they have a large supply of anything Mexican. Go for the food, but if u need simple fruits n veggies for cheap, go elsewhere! read more

Inside this small grocery store lies one of the best kept secrets on the northside. Nothing fancy, just great Mexican food. Especially the carne asada tacos! Not a huge selection, but excel in what they do offer. All simple and fast! Careful with the green salsa, very spicy! Jugos de tamarindo, horchata, And flor de Jamaica drinks are on tap and always delicious! Oh and if you catch them on the right week, 99 cent tacos de carnitas! read more

This location have a very friendly staff, and the best guys making a deliciuos tacos, tortas and burritos, a very good prices

Worse place ever. Just want there today. My order was 2 tacos de carne asada and 1 torta de carne asada. It took them 40 minutes to get that done. And it wasn't even worth it. In the torta, found this kind of fur/ hair inside the bread. The meat was nasty. They forgot to but aguacate. I am never buying anything there again. read more

I have been here multiple time and have always enjoyed their Delicious Tacos and Tortas. I will continue to visit them whenever I am in town. I also like to say that they have a very Beautiful cashier on the Diversey store. read more
