Signature Dishes

Bold Flavors, Unforgettable Dishes

From sizzling fajitas to hand-crafted enchiladas, every item on our menu is made with the same love and tradition that has defined Guanajuato for years.

Fajita Nachos

Crispy tortilla chips loaded with sizzling fajita-seasoned chicken or steak, melted cheese, pico de gallo, sour cream, and fresh jalapeños — a crowd-pleasing classic done right.

Dos Amigos

The ultimate two-combo plate — your choice of two favorites paired together. Think enchiladas and tamales, or a taco and chile relleno — generous portions, bold flavors, maximum satisfaction.

Carne Asada

Tender, marinated skirt steak grilled to perfection and served alongside rice, black beans, and warm flour tortillas. A robust dish that honors the heart of Mexican grill culture.

Pollo Ranchero

Grilled chicken breast smothered in our house-made ranchero sauce — a bright, smoky tomato-based salsa with peppers and onions — served with Mexican rice and refried beans.

Grande Pollo Burrito

A massive flour tortilla packed with seasoned grilled chicken, Spanish rice, refried beans, sour cream, pico de gallo, and melted cheese. One burrito to satisfy any appetite.

Poblano Beef Enchilada

Tender seasoned ground beef wrapped in corn tortillas and bathed in our rich poblano pepper sauce, topped with melted cheese, diced onions, and a dollop of cooling crema.
