"Pining for the sensuous side of Mexican cooking? Head to Guajillo on a Friday or Saturday night. That's when cocktail de camarones, an elegant riff on ceviche, and sinful chicken mole, sure to evoke Like Water for chocolate, are apt to make appearances.
In a world overrun with Tex-Mex, Cal-Mex, and Salvadoran-Mex, it's reassuring to find a place that deals in the real thing--and does so with some style.

Guajillo may look like just another family-run shopping-plaza storefront, but Mexican expats are all abuzz about Karen Barroso, from Mexico, and her husband, Rolando Juarez, a Salvadoran, who own and run the place. Here's a dining room that doesn't rely on hokey Mexican icons like sombreros and cactus but reads like a swank Mexico City address, with spackled cinnamon walls, cowhide slipper chairs, and white clouds on a ceiling of pale blue."
