Our Story

Welcome to Guanatos Grub, where the vibrant flavors of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico come to life in Houston, Texas. Founded in April 2023 by Araceli Yarborough, our restaurant is a tribute to the authentic cuisine and rich culinary traditions of Guadalajara. Araceli's journey from a passionate home cook to a dedicated restaurateur is rooted in her desire to offer truly genuine Mexican dishes that taste just like home.

Located just two minutes from the International George Bush Airport, Guanatos Grub is more than just a dining spot – it’s a haven for travelers, locals, and food enthusiasts alike. Our cozy, family-run establishment serves as a welcoming escape, especially for those who find themselves unexpectedly staying in Houston. We are proud to offer a menu that features everything made from scratch, using only the finest ingredients to ensure every dish is a true representation of Guadalajara's culinary heritage.

At Guanatos Grub, you’ll find specialties like our Birria Tacos, Carne Asada, and the ever-popular Menudo. Our Mole, crafted with over 35 fresh ingredients, is a must-try, and our Tortas Ahogadas, made with bread imported directly from Guadalajara, bring an authentic taste you won’t find elsewhere. Each bite is designed to transport you to the heart of Mexico, reminiscent of meals cooked by your grandmother.

We are surrounded by numerous hotels, and thanks to our loyal customers and the support from the local community, we’ve become a favorite stop for many, including airline supervisors and international travelers. Our lively atmosphere is enhanced with live music and karaoke nights, making every visit a memorable experience.

Join us at Guanatos Grub for a meal that celebrates tradition, family, and the love of authentic Mexican cuisine. Whether you’re here for a quick bite before a flight or a leisurely dinner, we promise a dining experience that is both comforting and unforgettable.
