Customer Reviews
I was just here today (12/19/25) and I ordered the fish tacos which in their description says "filled with breaded tilapia". I must have a different definition of what "filled" means because these were the saddest excuse for fish tacos I have ever seen. It was HALF of an overcooked breaded tilapia filet in each taco. With cabbage on top. The raw cabbage was better than the fish. On the side it brings a very small plate, half with beans and the other half with rice and the freezer burnt veggie mix we find at the bottom of our freezers. Completely unamused and regretful of having spent money at this place. By the way, these tacos after taxes came out to just over $18. Never again.
If you like Mexican food, you should consider coming to Guadalajara. They welcome large groups and you don't need a reservation. The service is fast and friendly! The food is good and what you expect. Plus they have whatever you want to spend. It will match what you have in your wallet.The problem we had was the noise. Granted, it was Saturday night at 7:00, but all their rooms had large parties of young, very loud customers. It was impossible to have a conversation without yelling. I haven't had that experience before when I had a meal there during the week, so keep thst in mind. Parking at their Market Street restaurant is iffy but you can always use Lucky 7's lot if theirs is full. Have a Margherita and prepare to yell while you enjoy Fahita Quesadillas!
We ordered from the lunch special menu, which was an exceptional value. The food didn't stick out as extraordinary, it didnt come out as hot as I thought it'd be, but it wasn't cold. The food was satisfying still, especially at the price point. Service was quick and attentive. I would have no problem returning.
I love sitting outside and enjoying my food. The service is always so fast and the waiters are very attentive. Lunch prices are very affordable.
Had the chicken and steak fajita platter. It came out sizzling and tasted amazing. Washed it down with a frozen strawberry marg which was poured into a chilled glass. Amazing meal. Will def be returning.
