1. El Vaquero

The owners of this restaurant pride themselves in using only the freshest ingredients and the best meats, which they pair with their own special spices to create meals that have been popular in Mexico for centuries. Relax in the casual setting and start with an order of the avocado rollitos or a Guadalajara salad. For a meal, we recommend the steak el cuatrero, the tilapia San Lucas, the burrito grande vegetarian, or the tacos al pastor. They are located at 8231 N High St.

2. Cuco’s Taqueria

Don’t let the location fool you. This hidden gem, located in a strip mall, serves traditional dishes and is also open for breakfast. Stop in for that first meal of the day and enjoy the Oaxaqueña, the huevos con chorizo, or the sunrise quesadilla. For lunch, have the shrimp cocktail or the black bean salad to get your appetite going. For your entree, we suggest the Camarones a la Diabla, the steak a la Mexicana, or the fish tacos. Stop by 2162 W Henderson Rd.

3. Taqueria Guadalajara

Visit here for the housemade chips and salsa alone. But of course, you won’t want to stop there. They serve authentic, fresh, and delicious meals, like the burrito mojado, the mulitas, the steak fajita burrito, or the taquitos de pollo ranchero. Vegetarians will appreciate the veggie burrito, the cheese enchilada, or the veggie fajitas.  The prices are very reasonable as well. This restaurant is located at 2448 Home Acre Dr.

4. El Ranchito

This establishment serves traditional cuisine such as burritos, tacos, flautas, gorditas, tortas, platillos, and much more. Start with the chips and salsa as you look through the menu. We suggest the fajitas asada, the flautas de pollo, the tostadas de tinga, the shrimp burrito, or the vegetarian enchiladas. If you’re feeling adventurous, try the shrimp a la diabla. But that’s only if you can handle the heat. Visit here at 1275 Brown Rd.
