Guanabana Lagos Review: Tacos, Tequila & Salsa Nights in Old Town
If your ideal night involves good food, strong tequila, loud music, and dancing like nobody’s watching, Guanabana Lagos might just become your new favourite hangout.
Located right in Lagos Old Town, this Mexican restaurant and cocktail bar is not here to do boring. At all.
From tacos, to salsa and bachata nights that start innocent and end sweaty (in a good way). Guanabana Lagos is where dinner casually turns into a full-blown night out.
The Vibe at Guanabana Lagos: Mexican Energy, Lagos Spirit
First things first, the energy is loud, warm, and infectious. Guanabana isn’t the kind of place where people whisper over candles. It’s the kind of spot where:
- Music is alive
- Cocktails are flowing
- People are dancing
On some nights, you’ll walk into live music, on others, a Mariachi band, and on Mondays and Fridays, salsa & bachata classes followed by social dancing till late. Basically, you came for tacos… but you’re staying for the vibes.
The Food at Guanabana Lagos: Tacos, Burritos & Comfort Classics
Now let’s talk about what really matters; the food
Guanabana keeps things authentic but fun, with a menu that covers tacos, burritos, quesadillas, brunch plates, and shareables.
Fan favourites include:
- Quesabirria tacos – crispy, cheesy, beefy goodness
- Baja Fish Tacos – light, crunchy, and fresh
- Mango Habanero Wings – sweet, spicy, and dangerous
- Guacamole & Totopos – because every Mexican meal deserves this
Portions are satisfying, prices are reasonable, and everything pairs beautifully with… you guessed it, tequila.
Cocktails & Tequila: This Is Their Thing at Guanabana Lagos
If you’re a tequila lover, you’ll feel very seen here.
Guanabana specialises in tequila and mezcal cocktails that are strong, well-balanced, and absolutely not playing games. Whether you’re sipping margarita-style drinks or trying one of their signature creations, just know this: pace yourself.
The bar stays open till 2am, so you have time to make questionable but joyful decisions.
Entertainment Nights: Dinner + Party Combo
One of Guanabana’s biggest flex is that it’s not just a restaurant.
Here’s what regularly goes down:
- Live music nights
- Mariachi performances
- Salsa & Bachata classes (Mondays & Fridays)
- Live sports on TV
Pro tip: book your table early, eat first, then dance later. That’s the winning formula.

Final Verdict
Guanabana Lagos is not for “quick dinner and home.”
It’s for “let’s eat first and see how the night goes.”
If you love Mexican food, tequila, music, dancing, and places that don’t feel stiff or forced, this spot deserves a place on your Lagos food-and-fun list.
Come hungry. Stay late. Dance badly. Repeat.
