Los Guachos is the highest-volume reference for spit-roasted al pastor, gringas, and meats, with more than thirty-five hundred reviews on Godown Road. Google Maps showed 4.5/5 from 3,514 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.

Taquería Guadalajara is the beef birria, quesabirria, and consommé specialist, with a 4.6 rating and 860 reviews. Google Maps showed 4.6/5 from 860 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.
Catrina Mexican Cuisine is the full-restaurant alternative, with tacos, moles, seafood, and birria; its former domain did not respond and was replaced by an official social profile. Google Maps showed 4.6/5 from 555 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.
How to choose
Choose Los Guachos for al pastor and a heavily reviewed operation, La Poblanita for a short truck meal with the highest rating, Guadalajara for birria and quesabirria, or Catrina for sitting down and exploring plates beyond tacos. Catrina’s former website no longer resolved, so its official social profile is used as the reference.
Before visiting
Google ratings and review counts are dated snapshots. Menus, prices, hours, reservation policies, and locations can change. Confirm current details on the official website and Google Maps before traveling.
There is no universal winner: choose by specialty, atmosphere, location, and meal type, then recheck variable details before visiting.
