Authentic Mexican Cuisine

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!
