Good, but not the best in the area.... I like Guaymas, it's very authentic, there is good value for your money, and it's a very good representation of taqueria food that you might find closer to the Mexican border. However, I find it to be a bit lacking compared to the excellent service, and far better food at El Rinconcito (I think I spelled that correctly) in Tukwila. Although Guaymas has one thing over Rinconcito, it's usually fairly quiet. Rinconcito used to have a small bar in one side of it, and it became a hangout of sorts, and the sound of Spanish language TV combined with the sound of the jukebox got a bit loud. But it can sometimes add to the experience, providing a relaxed atmosphere while dining. Guaymas is my second choice for best taqueria.

Best authentic mexican in town!. Simply the best authentic mexican food you can buy in Seattle. Their Carnitas and Al Pastor are absolutely heavenly. *Everything* they make is superb, from the salsa to the baked fish to the tongue to the guacamole (superb!) to their soup. My personal favorite dish is the Super Quesadilla Al Pastor. Simply wonderful food, friendly folks, and cheap prices! What more could you ask for?? They even serve *real* Mexican beer, too!

authentic family Mexican food. This is great, cheap Mexican food. I commute to Seattle from Olympia at least twice per week, and the Taco Guaymas on 38th in Tacoma, just blocks from I5, is an oasis when I'm feeling like authentic, spicy stuff. Go right on past Borders, and the restaurant is another two blocks on the left.

Don't pass on the tortilla soup. I love this restaurant too and was glad to see it replace the KFC down the street. Huge portions for the money. But the best bet is the yummy tortilla soup with plenty of tender chicken and fresh cilantro. Yum.

As good as it gets. I've tried the Mexican food from Seattle to Tiajuana, and this place rates a 10 with me. I've tried at least a dozen entrees from the menu and have never been disappointed.

Que Bueno!. If you're looking for authentic Mexico dining ambiance, look no further. And if you want some great food served quickly, this is the place. Washing it all down with some Negro Modelo while watching soccer in Spanish tops it all off!

Eat at Guaymas. I think that Guaymas is one of the best mexican restaurant in seatlle. They are great people and we go there at least 3 times a week and they all know me and my family and my son and they always talk to my son like he understands and is going to set up and help. Anyone wanting authentic mexican food should go to one of the many stores. GREAT FOOD keep it up!!

Que taqueria. Guaymas has the most outstanding, and authentic south of the border fare. Try their carnitas tacos, their savory seafood soups, and their combination plates are not only filling, but tasty. Better than a big mac with a price to match
