El Guajolotito Food - Albany (New York)

Im all about supporting local. I gave their food a try. We got asada burritos. Theyre pretty big. It has asada, beans, rice, guacamole and sour cream. Delicious.

This is probably one of the most underrated Mexican food places in Albany! The food is so fresh and delicious, reminds me of the amazing Mexican food I would get back in California. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but definitely kills the craving for some authentic tacos. The owners are super sweet. Also check out the bakery right next to them, delicious and fresh Pan dulce. I posted burritos but their Bionicos are also delicious.

We got some Carne asada tacos for lunch at work and for $2.50 a piece they did not disappoint. I will he back for more tacos!

It's not exactly a warm and fuzzy place but they are polite. I usually get the biónico and they are willing to customize it since some things I don't like or can't have. Having the pictures on the wall can help if you aren't sure what you want to try.

Their chamoyada was unlike other chamoyadas I've had.. and I've had many. From Portland to San Diego, for the most part they've all been similar. Flavor of choice (usually I get mango), you'd have a blended drink portion of the flavor of the fruit of choice and some fruit of choice chunks. Of course, you can't forget the chamoy. Here it was a mixture of the normal mango sherbet, frozen mango chunks, chamoy, and then it gets different. There was a green slush, I'm guessing lime flavor? Then frozen cucumber chunks. I wasn't expecting the cucumber chunks. It was also less of a drink. Mostly sherbet (orange and green) and frozen fruit, chamoy, and spicy, stringy red candy. Their menu was pictures and difficult to navigate. It was difficult to communicate due to a language barrier, as well. Lesson learned, it was an adventure. No more adventure for me here.
