Bahia De Guaymas

Very good. Didn’t know what to except, but it was close to where I was working so I decided to give it a try. I got the chimichanga beer lunch special with cheese, it was about the size of a Chipotle burrito, it was huge! Not only was it big, the shredded beef was moist and well seasoned. Very good meal, very friendly staff, I’ll think I’ll cone here again when I’m nearby.

I probably should write a review, since apparently I’m the restaurant’s profile picture right now (oh dear).
The prices for dinner items are a little more expensive than the hole-​in-​the-​wall establishment that I expected when we pulled up to this Mexican joint. That’s probably because the vast majority of the dishes are seafood related. There are non-​seafood items, especially on the lunch menu, but seafood is definitely the special of the house (bahia means bay).
So, of course, I made the mistake of ordering a non-​seafood dish. Luckily it wasn’t a horrible mistake — my cheese enchiladas were filling, had decent flavor, and were, best of all, cheap. However, I’m sure the seafood here is spectacular, and I broke my own rule and didn’t order the house specialty. My horchata, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious.
Service was great as well. When the chef sent out beef enchiladas (not an item on the $ 7 lunch menu) instead of my cheap version, the waitress apologized profusely and offered to let me have it if I’d like. The bus-​boy was a cute 10 year old wearing a walkman. Obviously an authentic family-​run establishment.
Stop by if you’re in the area — it’s better than those buffet places that the nearby DMV is advertising!

So for the monolingual, «Bahia de Guaymas» means «Guaymas Bay.» Don’t walk in expecting your typical Mexican steak fajitas, because unless you’re coming for lunch this is a Mexican seafood restaurant. Can’t speak for the seafood, but the lunch was great.
Very affordable — no lunch special more than $ 7. Salsa and chips were fresh and tasty. The meal itself was incredibly filling — I had a huge burrito and the wife had her typical cheese enchiladas. You can get whatever meal you ordered smothered in enchilada sauce for an extra 95 cents. The enchilada sauce is reminiscent of New Mexican chile sauce — sweet and spicy.
Music is a bit loud, I got up and discreetly turned it down at one point. As we left a mariachi band was walking in, sorry we missed out on that but we had to run. Overall the place has a low-​key party atmosphere. Give it a shot if you’re in the area!
