Authentic Mexican Cuisine

By Carol & Joe Davis
Dining Detectives

Tiburon has always been one of our favorite towns. The spectacular views of The City and Angel Island are incredible. Sailboats, power boats and ferries coming in and out make it quite an active harbor. The shops in Tiburon have become more upscale in the last year, which adds to the overall charm of the town. We have always enjoyed our trips there to dine at Guaymas and have their fresh regional Mexican Cuisine. Guaymas was named after the Mexican fishing village on the Sea of Cortez where fishermen catch Camarones Gigantes, large shrimp.

The best way to start is with one of their special Margaritas. We enjoyed both the Top Shelf made with Herradura Silver Tequila, Cointreau, sweet and sour , fresh orange juice and lime juice and the Organic made with certified organic Casa Noble tequila, fresh lime juice and agave syrup. The chips are way too good.... so have a few but don't eat too many as it will spoil your appetite.

The appetizer that we really enjoyed was the Tostada Congrejo which is comprised of three crisp corn tortillas topped with a generous serving of crab marinated with mojo de ajo sauce and guacamole. This was an excellent value. All of the Guaymus Specialty Entrees are served with house-made corn or flour tortillas, rice and beans. We loved the Camarones Rocco which is jumbo prawns marinated in cilantro and lime then grilled on rock salt and served with mojo de ajo sauce. We were pleased to see that these fabulous prawns were back on the menu.... as it was always one of our favorites!

We also loved the juicy and fabulous Carnitas which is beer braised pork shoulder, dried chili adobo, pickled red onions and cilantro. A Pacifico Cerveza paired perfectly with the pork. You must have the delicious Grilled Plantain as a side dish as it was so tasty and you won't find it in other restaurants. The dessert that we enjoyed was the Flan de Coco which consisted of wonderful Flan with plenty of coconut.

The food at Guaymas is delicious, prepared by their new Chef Gary DiDominick . They also have spectacular views from their two Outdoor Decks and the Dining Room. We look forward to returning soon to dine or enjoy the active Bar which has an extensive list of Tequilas!
