Guanatos Tacos — Restaurant in Santa Clarita

My 3rd visit so I decided to leave a review as I was very disappointed! On all three visits my service was very slow. On my 3rd visit last night, I was the only one in line to order and there were 3 people inside eating. Took 15 minutes to get my order of one carne asada burrito. I noticed my burrito had been finished and just sitting on the finish counter waiting fro the cashier to call my name while getting cold. This is exactly what I experienced on my previous two visits in where I had to ask for my order after pointing it out on the counter. When I finally sat down to eat my $15 carne asada burrito it was mostly rice & beans with very little carne "asada". To be fair Taste was just OK, not what a $15 (tax included) should taste like. Terrible service for overpriced mediocre food to say the least. Hadn't been there in about a year and I remembered why after this experience. Seemed better when it first opened however the quality has surely declined since then, too bad for the owners. Would rather go to the valley to eat some much tastier much better priced street food any day! Warning fellow Santa Claritians, much better Mexican fast food in the valley any day! Maybe good for typical gringos new to California but if you're a native regardless of race or ethnicity and know what authentic Socal Mexican food is, Guanatos is highly NOT...

If you’re craving authentic and flavorful Mexican food, look no further than Guanatos Tacos! This gem of a restaurant offers both dine-in and drive-thru options, making it as convenient as your favorite fast-food spot but with way more flavor and soul—think of it as the Mexican McDonald's, but better in every way.

I ordered their birria tacos, and wow, was I blown away! Expecting regular corn tortilla tacos, I made the rookie mistake of ordering five. These tacos are packed with meat, so much so that I could only manage to eat three—and nothing else. Each bite was bursting with flavor, leaving me full, satisfied, and in awe.

My wife ordered the Fire Burrito with Birria, and let me tell you, she was not sharing. She loved every bite and couldn’t stop raving about how good it was. The portions are incredibly generous, and the food is ridiculously delicious. Even though we used the drive-thru, the quality and care in the food were clear.

This is one of the best meals we’ve had in a long time. Next time, we’ll definitely order smaller portions to try more items from their tempting menu. But be warned—the food here is so hearty and flavorful, you’ll likely get “the itis” afterward!

Thank you, Guanatos Tacos, for an amazing experience. We’ll...

My son suggested we stop by Guanatos Tacos after a day at Magic Mountain. He had eaten there previously when his band had a gig at the music shop in the same shopping center. I would not have chosen this restaurant myself because it didn't look very fancy and I wanted a comfortable booth - and to be served - after being on my feet all day and walking all over the park. But it was my son's birthday outing so he had the choice of where to eat. I am SO glad I didn't hold out for comfort because the food was some of the best I've ever tasted! Even allowing for the fact that we were ravenous from our long day in the heat, and almost anything would have tasted good, the food was amazing. I have eaten A LOT of Mexican food in my lifetime, but the food here was unique in my experience. The handmade tortillas are unlike anything I've had before. The flavors and quality more than made up for the fact that it is more of a fast food place than a sit down restaurant. However the restaurant is clean and moderately comfortable, the service was pleasant and prompt. I will most certainly be returning when I'm in the area again. I believe we will be making this a regular after Magic...
