“The Shortcut to Mexico” & “The Mex! Without the Tex” (Guajillo’s in San Antonio)

Guajillo’s is one of the few Mexican restaurants in San Antonio that is not Tex-Mex. Its slogan since 2000 has been “The Shortcut to Mexico” (“‘el atajo al México”), with another slogan of “The Mex! Without the Tex.” Guajillo’s is one of very few Texas restaurant slogans advertising a non-Tex-Mex distinction.

Guajillo’s
1001 N.W. Loop 410, (210) 344-4119 (N) Forget Tex-Mex and settle in for a treat. This place bills itself as a shortcut to Mexico and delivers with such savory dishes as Cochinita Pibil, Tinga de Pollo and Tacos al Pastor. (Reviewed 2/15/02) Lunch/dinner: daily. $-$$. Credit: adismv. Casual.

travellers’ luck: Guajillo’s in San Antonio
Everything about Guajillo’s, to my out-of-town eye, boded unexciting. It sits right next to a freeway overpass among unremarkable malls on the very edge of San Antonio. Construction surrounds, even including two big buildings slated for implosion. The sign, for what it’s worth, could be that of a chain-restaurant. It has a slogan: ‘the shortcut to Mexico’ or, alternately, ‘el atajo al México’. A slogan.

You found arguably the best mexican (not tex/mex) restaurant in SA.
 
Next time try the tacos al pastor, the milanesa (put some lime and their salsa on top), the tinga and the chilaquiles.
 
I was just there this weekend. It’s consistently good, very inexpensive and filled with mexicans and smart anglos like me!
 
Congratulations on a great find.

The Dish on Food
Guajillo’s - authentic Mexican cuisine
13 11 2007
This restaurant bills itself as “The Shortcut to Mexico” and advertises “The Mex! Without the Tex” on their website. I don’t remember what drew me here in the first place, but I have been going back ever since. This is one of the few restaurants in San Antonio where you will find Mexican cuisine that is closer to central Mexican fare rather than TexMex. Don’t get me wrong. I mean, who doesn’t like the typical TexMex dishes of enchiladas and tacos? However, Guajillo’s focuses on the tastes of Mexico that are mostly unfamiliar to Americans, and I love them for it.
