Every time we visit Fort Wayne we try to eat somewhere new. Since our grandkids (and their…read moreparents) live there so we drive up several times a year to visit. We'd been by Guadalupe's a few times but decided this visit was our time to finally try it. We had no idea what to expect when we walked in.
What we found is similar to Moe's, Chipotle, Salsarita's, QDoba, etc. Fast casual where you walk down the line and they build your food as you go. I'm a fan of this type of eatery and I was hungry, so it was a perfect storm.
They have an impressive amount of food options. Chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, tofu, veggies, chorizo, ground beef, and chicken barbacoa are the protein options! It's impressive. you can chose a burrito, a bowl, tacos, a salad, or nachos. As you go down the line they add your additional ingredients like veggies, cheese(s) and sauce(s).
There are other options, of course. Chips & Salsa, Chips and Queso, all of your typical Mexican side-dish fare.
The restaurant was clean and tidy when we walked in, and every staff member was occupied cleaning, serving, or doing food prep.
I was very impressed by the guy who was sitting there preparing fresh onions. He was standing there slicing and chopping onions right out in the open. They don't hide anything at Guadalupe's. It's all right out front.
Our food was hot and delicious. I had a chicken burrito with some fresh jalapeño slices and pico de gallo (always a great combination)...and it was awesome.
There's a sign above the doorway that says:
No Cans.
No Microwaves.
No Freezers.
Made from Scratch.
I can tell that Guadalupe's takes pride in what they do.
