    The dining room
    Christina E.

    Don't let the difficult location fool you! If you want authentic Mexican and Latin food in the Jackson/Madison area, you'll find it here! Dishes are unique and hardly Americanized. The staff is almost entirely Mexican which is also their primary language. This is where the Mexican locals eat due to the culture and flavors of their food. You can smell the fragrance of their house made corn tortillas when you walk in the door. Try the tacos, guacamole, and an empanada! I have the chicken empanada, it was delicious and you could easily tell it's homemade. Service could use a bit of work, but our server was top notch, she was the only server working, but she managed it very well! Oh have the 2 for 1 Margaritas, they were delicious! Watch out for the Habanero Sauce-she doesnt

    "Large" cheese dip
    Nicole L.

    Used to be a favorite. I don't think we will be ordering from here again. paid $7 for a large cheese dip which used to be a large cup and is now tiny. My fried plantains were burnt beyond recognition. And my husbands carna asada was a massive slab of fat. Very disappointing.

    Shrimp chimichanga

    Gone by this place many times but first time here was good the food was amazing i usually dont finish or get close to finishing my plate at hispanic resturants but this was soo good i had the shrimp chimichanga mmm mmmm so good will come back

    Chicken taco

    I was disappointed. To me a taqueria should be authentic & homemade dishes. But here the taco shells are just like Taco Bell. The salsa is the best tasting thing here. The flautas were good and the Barbacoa burrito loco was dry because instead of it being smothered in red or green sauce it was drizzled with queso sauce. Pepitos down the street is 10 times better.

    After driving around Jackson for 20 minutes trying to find another restaurant that our GPS told us existed, my wife and I happened to end up across the street from this little gem. The place itself is charmingly small, with seating for only about 15 people. According to the newspaper article on the wall, Guadalupe was established by a couple from Colombia as a grocery. But when that store outgrew this space, they moved it to a new building across the parking lot and started the taqueria in its place. During our visit, we tried a chicken empanada, chicken gordita, chicken taco and pastor taco. They were all delicious, but the real star was the empanada, which featured chicken, cheese, tomatoes, and avocado wrapped up in a corn flour pocket and deep fried. The tacos and gordita also included a slice of avocado on top, which was a nice touch. Unlike most empanadas that I've seen elsewhere, this one was huge (as you can see in the photo I posted) and was fried to perfection (not too greasy and with a bit of crunchiness to the outer shell). In addition to all this, the prices were excellent (I think the empanada and gordita were about $4 each). I would highly recommend Guadalupe to anyone looking for well-done authentic Mexican food in Jackson. The service was friendly and the owners have put together a menu that features great portions and an exciting and delicious combination of ingredients, all while maintaining low prices.

    Side entrance of La Guadalupe
    Duan C.

    Okay peeps, it was Friday night and I wanted Mexican - however I didn't want the Americanized slathered in cheese and paprika kind of Mexican grub, so I decided to take the better half to La Guadalupe. Now I did not give them a raving review, due to my first visit - but La Morena is pretty small and I knew I had a better chance of getting a table @ La Guadalupe. On my last visit I ordered an Asada (Steak) burrito and the guy fixed like a Taco Bell burrito and it ticked me off. But I was feigning for some "AUTHENTIC" Mexican and we gave them another go! Better half had the Asada Burrito and I ordered the Barbacoa (marinated shredded meat or you can just say pulled pork) burrito. Two ladies were cooking, they were really sweet and I think the proprietor was their too, yucking it up with some of her friends as well - everyone was really nice and the proportions were way better! I never questioned the taste, but when you have an El Famous Burrito in Chicago, your idea of Mexican food changes. I am glad to see that La Guadalupe stepped their game up a notch, because I know La Morena gives them a run for the money - when it comes to who serve the best authentic Mexican food in Jackson. Great tasting burrito, nice tight wrap, meat was seasoned pretty good, fresh cilantro and pico and the red chilli sauce they used was fantastic. They have really improved and they won me over on this visit. I can seriously recommend them now!

    The crawfish we got the first time, was WAY overdone. Couldn't even get the tail out? Sent them…read moreback, new crawfish came out THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE! We also had a bad waitress, didn't pick up trash or beer glasses that we had already finished drinking out of. 1 Star. But the place was nice, and the other food was good. But the crawfish NAWWWWW!!

    This May, I decided to branch out and give Bayou Bugs a chance rather than going to my regular…read morecrawfish joints. Here's my Cajun boy assessment... (Out of 5 stars) Spice: -4 stars: While the crawfish tails didn't have much of the spice, you could definitely find it in the head and in the garlic, celery, onions. It was a great flavor and had plenty of kick; I just wish it made it into the tail meat. Crawfish Taste/Texture: -4 stars: the crawfish needed to soak longer to absorb the flavor better and to allow the tail meat to separate from the shell more. 25% of my tails were sticking to the shell and came out crumbly and were likely boiled for too long (over-cooked). Summary: needs less time boiling, more time soaking. Crawfish size: -3 stars: For May I definitely expected larger crawfish than I got. Most were on the small side. Potatoes: -3 stars: standard red potatoes; not large but not small. They were bland and clearly not cooked in the same pot as the crawfish or at least not nearly long enough. Service: -5 stars: live music and a nice outdoor seating area. Staff was friendly and quick. I'll probably be back at some point because I did enjoy the food, but it didn't take the place of my favorite place in town for boiled crawfish.
