La Guadalupana Review - Montrose - Houston - The Infatuation

"La Guadalupana—often shortened to “Guad”—is one of Montrose’s most beloved institutions. The Mexican and lunch cafe opened in 1995 and seems to be mythically passed down as the mid-morning meal cafe of choice for any 20-something in close proximity. That’s either due to the aromatic cinnamon coffee or the Guad’s fabled hangover cure, the vampiro, a carrot-orange-beet juice comb best consumed in one big glug. Add on a plate of over easy huevos rancheros or enchiladas verdes blanketed in lettuce, and you will be pleasantly satisfied for a few hours, or at least until starts at a bar nearby. Or grab some breakfast and fresh pan dulce to-go for an early morning commute. " - Chelsea Thomas
