Tacos Guaymas

My family and I have been patrons of the Original Taqueria on 99/196th St. SW for 9 years! The food is consistenly incredible, however a particular employee is probably the worst I have encountered. The original manager, Esteban whom is mostly at the new location near Lynnwood Center has literally watched my three kids grow up! Although he is there every now and again, it appears the running of Taqueria has been given to the hands of a woman that appears very nice on the outside but you just know deep down is nasty to the bone. Her fake smile fades into a scowl as soon as you show her your 2 for 1 coupon that prints regularly behind an Albertsons receipt. We are a family of five so this coupon that gets us just one free meal is really a nice treat. We have spent A LOT of money there and always leave a generous tip! This has been an ongoing problem with her and I can no longer take her nastiness! I have caught her looking at me with daggers and when she notices she has been seen she quickly tries to put on a smile. She then begins to speak Spanish to her other staff members behind my back. You don't need to understand a foreign language to know you are being talked about. I don't blame the others as they are just manipulated by her. Esteban's wife is wonderful when she is there as well as the other lovely people including the cooks. When I pulled in last night I first looked inside before I parked to see if she was there. I saw Alma, a very sweet young girl that is fairly new. It wasn't until I walked in that I saw her. I told myself if I felt the slightest hostility we would never go back. Well, last night was the most wicked she has ever been. Another patron that was there witnessed her behavior and agreed 100% that something about her just doesn't sit well. We just live minutes from this location but would rather drive further to Lynnwood Center and not have to ever see her again! more

This is a great place to get fresh, great tasting Mexican "fast food" - it's definitely several notches above Taco Bell or Taco Time. They use very fresh ingredients and nothing is greasy or fatty. I love that fresh flavor that their food has, and I will eat here any day over the mexican fast food alternatives. more

We've eaten here for years, since it was teeny, tiny. It's great food if you like the fresh stuff. They do have some odd things on the menu like tripe soup which I'm told is a traditional cure for hangover (and why they only serve it on the weekends). Overall, a good cure for Taco Bell! more

Guaymas started out as a little taco stand on SR 99 and 196th St SW in Lynnwood quite a few years ago. They've grown to a large company with many locations now. Their food is excellent if you like authentic Mexican fare. If you're looking for cheesy, fatty food like Azteca don't look here. Their food is fresh and authentic. On the other hand, avoid the drive through. They consistently forget something when my husband and I order by driving through. more
