Our families restaurant story goes all the way back to the 80s. In the 1980s our father, Isidro Guerrero, opened Durango Mexican Restaurant at 1130 W. Thorndale. Besides us, food and the industry was life to our father. He ran our family business for ten years until his health forced him to close it down, and unfortunately he lost his battle to Alzheimer’s in 2021. Both my brother and I were in different fields of business when our father fell ill. Our father was not getting better, and all we could think of was “how can we honor our fathers dream?”. It only felt right to open our family’s next restaurant right here in Edgewater.​         

           My brother and I were both born and raised in Edgewater. Our family has lived on Magnolia street for 60 years, and incredibly enough, we are still there. Growing up in this fantastic community, we wanted to give back and continue our fathers legacy of his love for feeding others, and needless to say, this is how Edgewater Tacos was born. We officially opened our doors on February 24, 2018.​           ​

          Our menu has all traditional favorites including burritos, chimichangas, tortas, and, of course, tacos! We use secret family recipes passed down from generation to generation. All our food is made in small quantities with fresh, premium-quality ingredients. Our specialty dish is Al Pastor. Al Pastor is a Mexican-style BBQ pork, marinated in secret spices for 24 hours, sautéed with pineapple. Our specialty taco is our famous Fish Taco, perfectly lightly battered, cuddled in a warm tortilla topped with our special sauce. And to wash it all down, we have our Abuelita’s horchata drink which is a blend of water, cinnamon, rice and Abuelita’s secret spice mix served chilled.          

          We are SO excited to be on this journey and to be able to continue to honor our fathers memory and passion for bringing the love and warmth of homemade cooking into your belly and soul. We wanted to create an authentic Mexican experience that helps add a bit of extra spice and flavor to the Edgewater area. We are thrilled to be sharing the food we have loved and grew up on with you all. ​​​​​​​​​​​

 

Buen Provecho!
