This place is fantastic. Wife and I come here religiously. Seriously, service is probably the best I’ve ever seen, there is always some one around making sure your OK. Then there is the food. It is awesome. Im still trying to find something bad. I seem to always go for the Guadalajara special which is delicious. Even their dessert is on point. This will be my go to Mexican restaurant hopefully forever.

absolutely the best Mexican variety in the neighborhood. I could definitely eat here once a week, my favorites being their chimis and burrito supremes. This is a small place that fills up quickly, however the service is very fast and you get your food quick. there’s usually a 20 min wait to get in(at least for me). they are very accurate with wait estimates. organization is spot-on here :)

This is a gem of a little restaurant with amazing staff and delicious food for pretty prices. Our second visit was right at lunchtime on a Sunday. Packed with families enjoying themselves in the small setting. Our waiter Claudio was friendly, professional and a pleasure to share our mealtime with. Our food came in a fair amount of time with minor modifications which caused no issues to them. I had the best warm chicken taco salad made simply and delicious without the overload of beans at other places designed to keep prices down. A side of green chili for the dressing and plenty of guacamole and sour cream in a crispy shell. $ 6.95 !!! Hubby had a combo plate loaded for same price and was pleased with each item. Don’t hesitate to stop in, will try some of the other interesting items another time!

I got my meal to go and unfortunately all of the meat from my tacos were not inside their tortillas. I’m sure this restaurant would be better if I were to sit inside but my to-go tacos were only mediocre plus the salsa that I had to pay extra for was WAY too hot so I didn’t even end up eating it. Maybe have a hot AND mild salsa for patrons that can’t handle the heat.

A friend and I came to catch up on a girls night. The chips and salsa are hands down the best part of the experience. The chips are thin and crispy with the perfect hit of salt. Salsa was nice and smooth, not chunky which I’m not a fan of. My friend and I both ordered carnitas. The plate was an enormous amount of food. It was so big that I took half home to the hubs for his lunch the next day. The carnitas was good but I’ve had more flavorful versions. The guac didn’t taste totally fresh. When I put the green chili with the carnitas and salsa into a tortilla it was a tasty blend of flavors!

I decided to treat my hubby to lunch after we dropped off our lawnmower to get repaired, and Unilocal steered us here. Unilocal was right, this place is awesome! Hubby devoured his carnitas and got a takeout order of something delicious he saw a guy at another table enjoying(not sure what it’s called, but it’s served in a big bowl and has shrimp in it.) Later that evening he devoured his takeout all by himself — it was so good he forgot to save some for me(pout!) What impressed me most about Guadalajara was the service. Absolutely the best waitresses ever! Even though it was packed, they served our meal promptly, refilled beverages spontaneously, and brought me a to-go container without being reminded. I waitressed in college, and am consistently disappointed with waitstaff performance here in Colorado. I can honestly say that Guadalajara scored an A+ for great service, and my hubby can’t wait to go back and have everything on the menu.

Absolutely one of the best Mexican restaurants in Colorado. Very authentic food and so much flavor. They have a limited bar menu and their margaritas are delicious.

Delicious! Wow… Molchete is amazing, the Combo plates are a true value!!! Fajitas smell like heaven… haha really Good Mexican food… Margaritas are crazy! You choose the tequila, $ 9.99. But its so busy… always a 35 minute wait… but worth it!

Wholy molly mother of octopus. Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant is a gem! This place blows all other Mexican places in Colorado. Be prepared to wait on a friday-saturday night, but it is worth it. Don’t eat a whole day or even two before your trip. Because you will pig out and it will be worth it as well. My fiancé ordered Tampiqueno and I went for an octopus ceviche(not on the menu, but they gladly accommodated my request and did not overcharge us for the special order). We completely devoured both dishes. And all the corn chips. And all the margaritas. Then we came home and passed out and slept like we never slept before, digesting all the amazing delicious Mexican goodness we ate at Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant.

We stopped here after a day in the mountains as it was on the way home. after a short wait during rush hour, we were seated. The service was good and the drinks came quickly. Chips and salsa included, salsa was flavorful and not really hot. We all got enchilada plates and they we’re just right. Light, meaty and good quality. A good tasting traditional plate. I would only change the rice to not have peas and carrots mixed in. Also liked that all the drinks came in full size glasses, big ‘Rita glasses too. Yum! FYI neighborhood is a bit sketch but if the locals love it, you know its good.

Dude, i hate doing this. i’m such a positive reviewer! I saw this place had awesome reviews so ordered a take-out burrito supreme. I pulled up at 1pm and the place was packed. Cool little restaurant. The service was great, very friendly. But when I got back to the office and started eating i was pretty disappointed. the steak was super tough. Noticeably tough. More so than the normal amount of tough, which I feel like I can handle. I would go so far as to say grisly. So bad first impression from the food. Maybe I’ll go back and try again. But feeling pretty underwhelmed.

Hell yeah… Hole in the wall, authentic Mexican food right in the hood! This place is bomb! I got the Guadalajara cam stones– bacon wrapped shrimp with beans n rice! Simply delicious. Other places are just so damn salty when you order bacon wrapped shrimp– this place was not. It was cooked to perfection. I got a side of chicken enchiladas and a bean tostada. I’m so picky about beans– taste, color, texture. These beans were tasty and the tostada she’ll it was on was thick n crunch. My hubby got the burrito, enchilada and chile relleno plate. I know it’s true love because I always end up eating his meal and he doesn’t mind lol. Micheladas are ice cold and spicy! I wish I would e found this place a long time ago! Guadalajaras is now crowned my favorite Mexican joint! Kiss the cook!

I used to have a go-to Mexican restaurant nearby, but now I am deciding this is my new favorite spot. Roughly an extra 15 minute drive, but well worth it considering their exceptional food. The restaurant itself is fairly small, but quaint. The atmosphere was busy and upbeat. I am very happy we got seated right away because as we walked in, all I saw were people! A good thing though since a lot people means good food in my books! The staff was very attentive and friendly as well. Great service! My girlfriend and I started our meal with the carne asada nachos. The appetizer alone could have been a meal on its own! Very generous serving of food! A lot of carne asada! Which I loved! topped with cheese, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, onions tomatoes, etc. For our entrees, I ordered the Plato Arriero and the Carne Asada tacos. I didn’t realize how big the plates were until we got them, so needless to say, there was a lot of food at our table for two! My Plato Arriero consisted of Chicken, steak carne adobada, beans and rice. The taco plate came with 3 tacos, corn or flour tortilla choice also with beans and rice. The meat was all seasoned perfectly and distinctly. I love when I order combination meat plates from restaurants and they do this correctly, not just seasoning the meats all with one type. The tacos had the carne asada meat, but chopped up to put in the tortillas and this was also very good! My girlfriend ordered the carne asada plate and everything on there was also cooked and season well. What makes this place differ from the others, would have to be the quality of food and the great seasonings they cook with their meat. It seems that there is a standard at the other places I’ve eaten and they seem to be met by my previous favorite place. Guadalajara just ups the ante and makes me like them even more! Highly recommended if you are in the area and want some great Mexican food!

every star was earned! My wife and I were well impressed with the authentic #Mexican food which had us eating pass our limit. The waitresses and the gentleman working there were very nice/accomadating. Our food was hot and fresh tasting! The horchata was nothing less than exceptional and fresh. I am originally from #California where authentic Mexican food flows like water. Needless to say, we found our spot next to home! Thank you #Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant for the enchanted experience. #Yum!

I am not kidding when I say this is the best Mexican place I have found and, yes, I am very picky with my mexican. The restaurant is small, but everything else about this place is a plus! For dinner, I ordered the chicken cheese enchiladas with a side of guac. Wow, talk about HUGE portions. Not to mention, my dish was cheap! My other guests ordered different burritos and tacos and nearly licked their plates clean! Yes, I am not exaggerating when I say the food is that good. Also, I always find mexican restaurants have very chunky, overwhelming sour cream, but this place offers actual mexican sour cream– thinner and better consistency. I can not tell you how wonderful my enchiladas were– melty cheese, layers of shredded chicken, and salty sauce to add to the flavor. Definitely give this place a try!- you will not regret it!

This place was AMAZING! I was dreading having to wait forever because every parking spot in the lot was full but we were seated as soon as we walked in the door. Our server was very welcoming and even though they were extremely busy she took the time to talk to my daughter.(If you have kids, you know that is a BIG plus) Not only did our server make sure we were taken care of, but two other servers asked if we were doing okay. The food was sooo good! The portions were large as well and CHEAP! Our bill was $ 18.56 for two adults and a child. This is now our go-to Mexican restaurant.

We here for dinner last night because we were graving Mexican food– It was packed and we sat and ordered drinks !!! Horchata’s were very tasty — We both got combination plates… burritos enchiladas and chili rellenos Took a long time to get our food but when it came I was pretty good . A combo of red chili and green … The waiters were nice and friendly It was a bit pricey but we did order drinks instead of usually water… I’m sure we will come back ! Thanks guys :)
