Best Mexican Restaurant in Fort Wayne

Jim Ferris

What's better than one Guadalupe's Mexican Grill on Dupont street? Finding a SECOND location entirely by accident! A couple weeks ago we were in Fort Wayne for the weekend and finally visited the Guadalupe's Mexican Grill on Fort Leo Rd. I'd planned to go back on this visit, but Christmas with the Family was going to ... take up a lot of time. A last-minute visit to Kroger landed us in the parking lot. My empty stomach started talking to we decided to drive around the parking lot to see if there was somewhere we could grab a quick dinner and *BLAMMO*, there's another Guadalupe's! Honestly, Guadalupe's stands out from the "assemble as you go down the line" Mexican eateries. They have an impressive amount of food options. Chicken, steak, barbacoa, carnitas, tofu, veggies, chorizo, ground beef, and chicken barbacoa are the protein options! It's impressive. you can chose a burrito, a bowl, tacos, a salad, or nachos. All with add-ins like veggies, cheese(s) and sauce(s). The Hot White Queso is Top Notch! For sides you can always add Chips & Salsa/Queso/Guac (for a slight upcharge, natch), as well as beans and/or rice. On both of our visits to both locations there was someone actively preparing fresh veggies. Even at 7:30 in the evening, he was cutting and slicing and dicing. I went with my favorite (Chicken burrito with a whole lot of stuff in it) and a fountain drink. They also have a number of Jarritos® as well was beers...in fact, they have their own Mexican Lager! They also have their own bottled hot sauce. I'm glad to say that their hot sauce is GOOD! The prices are quite reasonable and the staff is friendly. My wife and I both noticed how clean the restaurant was, and how quickly they cleared tables that had emptied. Like the other location we visited, this sign is on the wall and I thinks speaks to the essence of Guadalupe Mexican Grill. No Cans. No Microwaves. No Freezers. Made from Scratch. Read More

This place is what Chipotle wants to be. Great service, huge portions (did I mention that bacon is considered a vegetable, and is free?), and a clean environment. Additionally, this place is truly Catholic (as their name and decor suggests). I have seen them do some tremendous things for those in need who come into ... their store, and they really do live out their Christian mission. I Highly recommend going here! Read More

My visit to Guadalupe’s was fantastic. I ordered to-go, choosing a bowl for myself and a burrito for my fiancé. The ingredients were fresh and of a higher quality than many competitors. They offer a diverse menu with many options, and their frozen margaritas are a standout feature. I tried the strawberry margarita, ... and it was excellent. Although the dining space is on the smaller side, the atmosphere was vibrant and inviting. Guadalupe’s stands out as a healthier alternative to most fast food spots, and the food was simply delicious. Read More

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and made with care.

Everything was super fresh. The peppers and onions were cooked to perfection. They had many options for protein and many options for vegan/gluten free cuisine as well. The cilantro lime dressing was scrumptious. We'll be back!

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Explained to us the menu and what everything was. Food was excellent! Always better with fresh cut veggies and meat cooked that day. Great taste, great staff, 💯

Chef and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. I’m gluten and corn intolerant. They always change their gloves for me. That reassurance is huge as it’s super easy to get cross contamination but I appreciate their care in this regard. I normally get a bowl or sometimes just come in for sides. No matter what I’m ... always taken care of. I sincerely love this place! Read More

The service was as great as the food! Everything tasted fresh and very flavorful! 100% better than other food chains similar to this!

Build your own tacos, burritos, bowls, etc. Much better than the other places in town that do the same thing. Better flavor, better quality, nicer employees, same price. It just makes sense to come here. The hot sauce on the table is nice too. The staff is friendly. The building is a tiny place, but it's nice and ... clean. Read More
