Go-to Mexican in upper darbyI'm late on reviewing this restaurant, but I order enough to know it's fire. lol the nachos deluxe with chicken, chorizo, and steak is my favorite. Comes complete with alllll the toppings. The platter is huge and heavy. It's definitely a shareable. I've also had their chicken burrito, which was also huge and tasty. The shrimp tostadas hit, too. Don't forget to add the red and green sauces before each bite. I always order take out, but there are always ppl inside. Clean place.

Bread covering made from scratch. All delicious food. One of my friend's favorite Mexican places. Better than the Mexican places near me.This place was doing so well on Sat at around 1230 pm at table capacity minus a table that needed cleaning for us and a ton of take out. Service was slow but we had the time and didn't mind it. People working here are very nice. Quesiberra must have beef with it I believe- so this particular order is not for a vegetarian.Looks like people were having trouble with this place being open a bit earlier. Glad it was open when my friend and I went. My first time here and I don't intend it to be my last.

I go here all the time but counter lady forgot an item and said I could pick another time. So I place an order and asked for the forgotten item. Shrimp tostadas. They were so salty they couldn't be consumed. Very disappointed.

I haven't eaten here in a few years, but randomly stopped in to get a shrimp quesadilla to see if it was as good as I remembered. The prices did go up as in most places, but the food was just as hefty and filling as before. I also ordered two chicken tacos because why not. Food overall only took a good 20 minutes to be ready.The chicken tacos were nicely filled, but the shells were a little softer than I like. The flavor was vibrant with strong nodes of cilantro in every bite. I ate the tacos in-house, but took the shrimp quesadilla with me. I literally didn't eat it for an hour later and the texture was still the same. I usually take a slice of carrot cake to go, but this time I ordered the Pastel de Tres Leches. There are some spots that give 1 small piece of Tres Leches for $5, but La Guera gives a nice sized cake piece for $6. It doesn't get better than that. And theirs is darn good.Definitely stopping by here for lunch soon.

11/8/2021Street parking for this Mexican restaurantI saw the great reviews so I had to visit. I'm so glad I did. The food is authentic and very tasty. The large portions are good for 2 meals. Chicken Burrito. Was huge. Hubby said it was the best he ever had (aside from mine lol). The steak was tasty. The rice and black beans were tasty. We scrapped the take out container The staff was friendly and I'll definitely be back.

Wanted to give a shot to a place that had some good reviews on Yelp and Google. Since I love hole in the wall joints in Upper Darby, this was the play. The flavor was good for the most part. The steak Milaneza and chicken sope were tasty enough. So was the street corn. That was the hit of the meal. My wife wasn't as impressed with the fajitas. She thought the chicken and cheese were too rubbery. I tasted and I see why she said that. However it did travel during takeout so perhaps it's better right out of the kitchen. Flavors were there though. Plus, the rice and beans that are pictured... no beans. A few peas perhaps. It wasn't what I thought it would be. However I liked the rice flavor a lot. I did like it even if I didn't love it.

This little Mexico City homage is friendly and delicious. The salsas were exquisite. The quesadilla was massive and delicious with fresh and well executed ingredients, though the tortilla was a bit too thick and dense for my preference. I plan to return for a few of the other items. This is an authentically Mexican spot. I ordered the shrimp quesadilla on suggestion from reviewers. The quesadilla was was overstuffed generously with juicy, plump, buttery shrimp. The toppings were fresh: avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese. They put the quesadilla in a very thick corn tortilla that almost borders on an empanada it is so thick. I found this tortilla's thickness and density to distract from the great flavors inside quesadilla. The meal came with chips and salse to start. The chips are freshly fried. They come hot with a bit of oil still glistening on them. The give way to a clean crisp crunch on the bite. And they have just enough salt on them to tickle the palate. The salsas, red and green, were both phenomenal. These were probably my favorite thing of this meal. The green was such a fresh mix of lime, tomatillo, and some other savory element I couldn't quite identify. The red salsa was too spicy for my wimpy palate. But the little bit I had was excellent. It had a well rounded spicyness with a little smoke, a little garlic (maybe), and acidity. Overall, an excellent choice for Mexican food.

Bad customer service. Gave me wrong food and not willing to credit me any of my money I paid for Salmon and shrimp and received chicken. Food is good but customer service is sh**. There are so many spots in UD to get Mexican food I will go elsewhere

Just incredibly bland... and over ripe cucumbers on everything wasn't doing the food any favors.
