Guerrero's is (say it with me) in a strip mall on the northeast corner of Madison and Edgewood Avenues. It just opened in the space occupied previously by Tequila's, and before that it was my beloved watering hole, Shigg's Digs, so it remains to be seen whether the Black Hole Phenomenon will suck this place under, too. They kept Tequila's rich dark-wood decor, which I like, although I suppose it does kind of make the place seem a little dark. The service was excellent, with chips and salsa brought to our table almost as soon as we were seated. TLW had the taco 'n enchilada combo plate and I ordered Camarones ala Diabla, wondering if I'd have to drink a gallon of milk with it like I did with the same dish from El Compa (see post). She said the crunchy taco was perhaps the best she's ever eaten, especially the shell, which was light, crispy, and flavorful. She had it down before I could filch any of it, but she took pity on me and gave me part of her enchilada. (Actually, she almost always gives me part of her meal. That's why I've been on the cover of OFG* magazine.) The ground beef in it was especially tasty, very well-seasoned. My Camarones dish was more substantial than El Compa's, having onion and tomato mixed in with the shrimp and sauce, but though decent, it just wasn't quite as delicious. It didn't set my lips ablaze either, which was a good thing. The food was good even though it was standard Mexican fare, and the price was reasonable, so we'll probably be back soon. !Andale!
