About

The initial visit to Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant was enjoyable due to the delicious food. However, there was room for improvement in terms of communication as language barriers affected the quality of service. The party consisted of three adults and a 7-year-old child, resulting in a 20% gratuity being added to their bill since it exceeded $100. Despite seeking clarification from the waiter, a clear explanation was not received.

Very cute place, prices aren't bad and tacos were very good. They have very good drink specials and there's a pretty good selection. Our waitress was very very chill and she was well informed about the contents of the menu, she helped us come to a decision about what to order we really appreciated it. Definitely will come again. Just a warning it was packed, we got seated pretty quickly but it was pretty full in there. They do have a bar though if you just wanna sit and grab a drink

Really good food, great service. Authentic Mexican food. I did think the prices were slightly high for lunch and the portions a little small, but not a deal breaker. Taste was awesome. Service was the best, very friendly and fast!

Decent Mexican place for dinner or lunch .but not the best.The Tacos were fresh and the Margarita was nice.Definitely a place to visit incase you are craving for Mexican cuisine .

5/5brian hammond

Everything from the meal to the drink was great. On top of that the staff was very quick and polite. Walked in and was greeted with a smile and sat us down right away. I have to say the shrimp were very fresh as well. Nothing to complain about at all.

5/5Pat Simone

Finally, we made it here after numerous "we should go there somtime" comments. The only disappointment was that we waited so long to go here. We both love Mexican, and it was the very best we've had in the area.Iannelis, our server, was phenomenal, friendly, and very attentive but leaving us space while we devoured our meals. The entire staff was very friendly and on top of refilling water, getting more chips (un-requested but very welcomed) and bussing our table when done.On a semi busy Friday night but without a wait, they asked our preference of table or booth and allowed us choice of booth. Very friendly host staff as well.The food came out quickly, delicious and well presented. I got the enchiladas supreme and some places it comes out as slop, this looked and was amazing.My fiancé got Arroz con Pollo, and couldn't stop saying how fresh the peppers and everything else tasted and how much flavor it had.Kids meals are also very reasonably priced, which is nice not to pay $13 for a small portion which will be half munched on.The Green Cilantro Margarita pitcher for 2 of us was perfect and provided 3 full pours each. It also had great flavor and taste.Also plenty of free street parking options if it's after 6 or on weekends. It's located just far, but plenty close, enough to the rest of the downtown restaurants that people don't park near it.With a Margarita pitcher, 2 full entrees and a Kids meal, our bill was only $69
