Food was good.. the only issue was the chicken in my taco, it was salty and a bit hard.. maybe warmed up too much. The shredded beef taco was excellent!! Beans good, rice was just ok. Service was excellent!! Fast, drinks and salsa were never empty.

Food is ok. But they are Way too Over Priced. You can get better food other places for a lot less. Plus the few times I have been there the service wasn't great. Save your money go somewhere else.

We’ve been twice. I ordered the same dish both times and was let down both times. Service was great the first time, which is why we came the second time. Our service tonight was not even close to inviting. Having to hear a blaring cell phone video for the entire hour really dampened the experience. The rest of our dishes were quality so no complaints about them, just extremely dry carnitas (think jerky).

To start with my review I’d say salsa was good but it kinda ruin it if the chips are stale or not crunchy. I ordered Camarones Al mojo and it was good but a bit salty. The fries though I could tell was cooked in an old oil and you can just smell and taste it. It was my first and probably the last. My experience with the food wasn’t unforgettable. Even though the food wasn’t as I expected for the amount I had paid, the server was nice and polite.

I am a huge fan of the Blue Zones Vegetable Burrito. The flavor is so good that I don't miss the cheese or sour cream. (I ordered it two days in a row.) I am so glad the tortilla is whole wheat and really appreciate there being flavorful vegan options on the menu. The salsa is delicious too!Vegetarian options: Check out the Blue Zones menu. You do need to request to see it.

The food is good, but it is too expensive. For one meal, and having a water. The total was $52.56. It's crazy...

Good resto for basic Mexican food. I like their chili relleno and enchiladas. Tamales would be good on the menu.How about mole’ or Oaxacan food? But their corn tortillas I doubt are made there.

We ordered the seafood molcajete, came steaming hot to the table. Then things went downhill. Were were not given a spoon to get at the sauce. Which was needed for the frozen then thawed seafood medly. The scallops were less than the diamer of a dime. There was a piece of rubbery fish, probably tilapia on the top of this over-priced dish.Seriously, when I saw the price I thought to myself $40+ I want to try this dish. I expected fresh scallops for the Monterey bay area. Sadly disappointed.However our family who suggested this restaurant were happy with their food. Next time I'm at a restaurant I will now need to ask the waitstaff...how fresh is the fish?

Second time having lunch here the first time I had enchiladas and the sauce was marinara sauce, super weird. Today I had a taco salad what could go wrong? Packaged lettuce (not a fan), chicken was literally ground sloppy Luke warm meat (not sure it was chicken), salsa was bland, beans were definitely canned. For $23 out the door I'd expect food cooked to order but noticed while paying the grill in the kitchen wasn't even on! Won't be returning.

This is the second year in a row we have used Guadalajara to cater our annual holiday party. We were able to get food for 20 people at a very reasonable price. The food was delicious and everyone was very happy with it! I'm sure we will use them again next time.

The food is good. My favorite is anything with chorizo. Prices for plates are a bit high, but they give you so much food! It actually grosses me out that people can eat that much and clean their plates, plus eat chips and salsa! Today I ordered an a la carte chorizo super burrito and couldn't finish it. It was delicious. The tacos are bigger than street tacos elsewhere, and they come in two tortillas, so I usually separate them into two tacos each. The service is also great. Attentive wait staff. The only downside is the atmosphere. Cement floors, black vinyl table covers, industrial ceilings. But, I don't care about the surroundings as much as the food. I have loved, not just liked, everything I've tried.

We went at an off time, so it was quiet. The football game was on the TV. Service was prompt and polite. Our food came quickly. It was delicious!! Huge portions. We will definitely return!!
