Guajillo (Arlington, VA)

Located on Wilson Boulevard next to Ray's Hell Burger, Guajillo is one our two "go-to" restaurants when craving Mexican and/or Tex-Mex, with Guajillo meeting our Mexican needs and Rio Grande meeting our Tex-Mex needs. But this post is about Guajillo...

The salsa at Guajillo is freshly made throughout the evening and, man, does it pack a (pleasant) kick. This place does not cater to the masses by producing mild (or flavorless) product, but rather, puts out solid Mexican standbys.

And it's one of the few places in the area that I have found to put out a delicious Mole. Having had the Mole atop chicken (the house specialty) and enchiladas, I felt compelled to try it as served atop the Flautas Mojadas. While the Mole was excellent, as usual, I think I will be returning to the chicken or enchiladas presentation in the future.

I've also heard that their tostadas are outstanding, so that's also on the list of dishes to try at Guajillo.

If you haven't been, you may be missing out on some of the best Mexican food in the area. Go now. Thank me later.
