    Terrible cheese dip.

    This place was amazing 3 years ago. Now days not so much. 5.49 for literally a spoon full of cheese that wasn't even melted all the way. I couldn't get a chip thru after 3 or 4. They also don't season their food like they used too. I won't be goin back. The service is still good though.

    One of my skimpy tacos.

    They used to be really good but have gone downhill in recent years. I went back today, ordered 9 tacos for $38 and received these very skimpy tacos. The food tastes good but highly over priced for the amount of food you receive.

    Updated menu 2023

    Nice place has been here in annavile for years. It's a smaller restaurant so I wouldn't recommend big family parties here. Quick service. Food is average, just like any other Mexican restaurant you'd eat at.

    Food and service is so good! Little noisy when busy but not as bad as other restaurants.

Visit 2: dined in and ordered carne asada plate, delicious. Visit 3: got breakfast thru the drive thru, chilaquiles with egg mixed in, no salsa ranchera They made the corn tortilla chips very soggy and there were ONIONS which I do not like and which was not disclosed, only ate a quarter or the top layer of the plate. Visit 4: was sick with vomiting so got tortilla soup. Chicken was cooked but not tenderized. I liked the one from Cancun's better. Visit 5: brought hubby here. He commented that carne guisada was overcooked, I tasted and agreed. I put this place to the true test by ordering menudo... and they failed. Menudo tasted like they didn't wash tripas after parboiling them. Each bite was initially good follow up by an uncomfortable, dirty aftertaste. My verdict: not bad, just mid. Maybe some issues with quality control. I'll be back to try the seafood though.

The salsas rate from "pleasantly hot" to "make your head tingle" to "am I crying?" so be wise in your consumption. Service was attentive and pleasant, and the drinks were very reasonably priced. My family got basic fare. The green and red enchiladas both looked great (the green with chicken tasted great too), and my wife's "morning in a bowl" would have fit in at a fancy brunch. However, my Molcajete was the star of the show. Sizzling and filled with delicious meats, cheese, peppers, and onions. It was a serious amount of food, and everything was kept piping hot throughout the whole meal. Dessert was pretty legit too. The churros are big and perfect.

Overall, the food was decent and I appreciated that it came with extra salsa (the salsa girlies get it). We did run into two snafus: 1. They had 2 items in the vegetarian section and the one that I ordered (enchiladas) were no longer available which left me with the quesadilla. This was a bit of a bummer because I was really looking forward the enchiladas! 2. I got a margarita flight which was listed at $13. It was delicious! However, when the bill came, it was listed at $16 which took me by surprise. The server was apologetic and was able to figure it out with management. I am grateful for how they handled the situation.

As a vegan, that made me excited because actual Mexican food usually has less cheese and can be made vegan. The business is quaint. There was a friendly hostess to welcome us in and our server was very hospitable. We ordered the chile relleno without cheese, zucchini in pasilla pepper sauce, and mole verde off the vegetarian options on the menu. We also enjoyed guacamole and chips. Our server was happy to accommodate our vegan modifications and it was really easy to communicate with him. The flavors are just WOW! Hands down the best guacamole of my life. The sauces are vibrant and rich. Everything tasted so fresh. And the prices for this quality of food cannot be beat. My husband and I literally licked sauce off the plates to make sure we did not miss one ounce of that authentic Mexican flavor. This place is top of our list of businesses to visit next time we are in town visiting family. We had an incredible experience and cannot wait to continue to explore the vegetarian menu options.

    Highly Rated, But Unfortunately Not For Us…read more My mom and I are in Corpus Christi for a little girls' weekend, and after seeing how highly rated Guajillo's On the Island is, we decided we had to give it a try. It was conveniently located near us, so it seemed like the perfect spot for lunch. When you walk in, you immediately get an old-school, homey feel. It's a small restaurant and definitely has that "this place has been around for a while" kind of charm. We went on a Monday afternoon, so it was pretty quiet and we were seated and greeted quickly. Our server was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa. The red salsa was delicious--great flavor with just the right amount of spice. Unfortunately, the chips were a miss for me. They tasted like they had been fried more than once and had a slightly burnt flavor. For lunch, I ordered the green enchiladas, while my mom got the chilaquiles verdes. Unfortunately, this is where the meal really fell short for me. The food came out quickly, but the texture made it seem like our dishes had been reheated rather than freshly prepared. My enchiladas had good flavor, but the tortillas were extremely soggy, which really took away from the dish. The rice was also more of a steamed-style rice than the traditional Mexican rice I was expecting. The refried beans, however, were probably my favorite part of the meal. They had great flavor, a little bit of spice, and were honestly very good. My mom's chilaquiles had the same issue with the chips. The chips were already on the softer side, and once covered in the green sauce, they became very mushy. She also had the beans, which she enjoyed. I really wanted to love this place because of all the great reviews, and I'm glad we gave it a try. But for me, the biggest disappointment was the lack of freshness and the texture of the food. I don't mind a small, casual restaurant at all--in fact, I really liked the cozy, old-school atmosphere--but I do expect my food to taste freshly prepared. Maybe we caught them on an off day, because clearly a lot of people absolutely love Guajillo's, and it has some very loyal fans. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I don't think I would return. Still, it was fun getting to try another spot on the Island during our girls' weekend!
