7 Luminarias

Good Carnitas are hard to find...  And they have it!
:)
Place does not look like much, but the food is truly authentic and delicious!  Guadalupe is not necessarily a "destination" but the carnitas of this place should be enough to warrant a detour!

Great mexican food the best Carnitas and menudo in town deff worth the drive. Great customer service very clean

This place is where my family and myself stop at almost every time we take our trips up in the Central Coast. We pass through Guadalupe a lot on our way to San Luis Obispo and of course, many of the place here are hole in a wall places. We found this place several years ago and I would say it is one of the best Mexican food joints in the state! However, I give it a four stars since it is a bit pricey, but I think it is worth it. These people do cook their food fresh and from scratch. They do have a decent ambiance and it is surely a decent place to eat. I have tasted their carne asada, their tacos, and their carnitas, and it is delicious! They do sometimes make their tortillas from scratch, but when they run out, they use the one from the package. In any case, if you are taking your time to go on SR-1, then this is a must on your trip here if you are craving for Mexican food!
