Don’t let the neon sign outside scare you. It says “rum” not “run.” ;) Their piña coladas are AWESOME and if you ask nicely they may make you an off-menu drink called “Return to Tiki Island.” It features a pole-dancing mermaid.

When you're not listening to cool, groovy music inside, check out their amazing gazebo in the back of this old antique home. It's so stunning it has been the site of many weddings.

Trancito Diaz, La Guadalupana's chef and owner, is a warm and welcoming immigrant who came here from Mexico in the 80s to pursue the American Dream. He was once a pastry specialist at the Houston Country Club and decided to embark on his own VERY successful endeavor. He's open early and can always be found standing behind the counter smiling at each and every guest or refilling coffee wherever he sees possible. You've GOT to stop by and say hi. :)

I'm not sure of the owner's name but I think he's owned this spot for at least 50 years and he knows what he's doing. He'll wash, dry, and fold for the best price in Montrose. You can also buy quarters from him but don't push your luck too much. He's a little cranky sometimes but it's actually endearing. There's tide pods in the donkey on the mantle. :)
