I’ve tried birria from a lot of different places across Michigan, and this is hands down the best I’ve had. The flavor is rich and well-seasoned, the meat is tender, and the consommé is perfect. Everything tastes fresh and comes out looking great.

They have a large menu with plenty of options, the prices are reasonable, and you can tell the food is made with care. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend giving it a try.

Authentic Mexican cuisine made to order. If you don’t like Mexican, they will accommodate you with a hamburger if you ask! Waitstaff is excellent, however, Yasu is AMAZING!!!! She always makes sure my husband and I have everything we need. Our adult children love joining us at this restaurant! It’s where we meet up for every special occasion birthday meal! We have a blast every time we are here!!

This place was such a pleasant surprise the first time we ate here. So much so, that we keep going back. Everything is delicious and the staff are always friendly. I have yet to try something I don’t like and believe me, I’ve tried a lot! The Chicken Pollo is probably my favorite, but dont forget desert. The Tres Leches is to die for!

Solid three at best. Place was prettt empty when we went. About 6 on a Friday. Food wasn’t terrible at all, just was mediocre. Wouldn’t drive out to LC just to come here but its not bad. Service was off. Waitress had to be new and thats ok. But when an empty beer sits for the entirety of the meal, its lost revenue. Other than to drop off food and then ask if we needed boxes there was no check in. Kinda feel the flautas were frozen, kinda had a freezer burn after taste. 4 entrees, water, lemonade, horchata and a beer was 81 and some change. Seemed super steep for what it was. Sorry just not impressed.

Stopped here by chance for lunch, and so glad we did. Our group had tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, and fajita salad. All delicious, and 4 clean plates. Service was fast, friendly and very efficient. Reasonably priced. This place is a gem. We don’t live in the area but visit often and will be back whenever we’re here. Kudos to the staff, keep up the good work.

If you want real Mexican food, not the watered-down, Americanized stuff, this is the place. The flavors are authentic, bold, and made with clear attention to detail. You can taste the freshness in every bite. The salsa isn’t just an afterthought; it’s packed with flavor, not just heat. The meat is perfectly seasoned, and every dish has that true, traditional Mexican taste you just don’t get at chain places.

The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service is warm and welcoming. You can tell the staff actually cares about what they’re serving and about their guests’ experience. Whether you’re grabbing tacos, birria, tamales, or a full dinner plate, everything comes out hot, fast, beautifully made, and full of flavor.

It’s the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a moment because you’re too busy enjoying it. Easily the best authentic Mexican restaurant in the area and honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. I’ll definitely be back again and again!

Went here for the first time and ordered take out for dinner for the family .they said it would be 15 minutes it was about 25. Not a big deal! However the order was completely messed up. Ordered a 4 dollar side of guacamole that wasn’t in the bag a tamale in the husk that came wet. Added cheese to a taco that wasn’t there. Another tamale was supposed to be beef and it came chicken the taco was also a flour tortilla when it was supposed to be a corn tortilla. All of the food was warm at best some was cold and I only live 9 minutes away. The portions were so small it was laughable the sides of rice and beans were literally 2 bites. For the price we paid we feel ripped off. Pancho villa is way better. We will not be going back here which is very disappointing because the inside was really nice.

We had been here a few times and never had any issues. On our recent visit the waitress seemed ok in the beginning, but by the time we received our food, she was acting off. Asked her three times for more chips and never got them. The queso cheese was not melted all the way, had a big chunk in the middle. Which i guess it didnt matter since we never got chips to eat with it anyway. The waitress took my plate of food before I was done eating, and we didnt see her again until she brought the check out. Was not the best experience this time around.

Our food was amazing. Hard to find good food like this near Houghton lake. What a wonderful gem of a place! Food was very fast to come out and tasted wonderful. The service was exceptional, our waiter was very attentive and kept coming back to make sure we were till enjoying our food. First time I ever left a $20 tip on a $50 order. Definitely deserved that tip! Great experience, I will be back again.

I recently moved to the Houghton Lake area. One of my new favorites is a place that recently opened it’s doors for the first time. The unexpected treasure!
La Guera is the roadside cantina you only hope to find.
Family owned and operated, LaGuera features all of your favorites from south of the border as well as some home style fare.
I sat and was waited on by a charming young man named Junior who did an absolute bang up job starting me out with a Coronarita and got chips and salsa.
I absolutely love Mexican food, so choosing was tough because it all looked great. Then I heard the sudden explosion of a red hot platter steaming with the promise of fajita meat and veggies pouring on it.
I ordered the Steak and Seafood Fajitas, the name of which I can’t remember, but it had steak, shrimp,crab and scallions in a heavenly blend.
Generous portions, family atmosphere, very reasonable prices. You get it all and just a bit more at LaGuera.
Go try them out, you’ll be glad you did!
