“ Food served at this restaurant is truly delicious, setting it apart as the best Mexican restaurant in Huntsville. The flavors and quality surpass those found at other establishments in the area. Despite the presence of at least five other Mexican restaurants along the route, its worth my 25 minute drive just to enjoy their beans and rice. The distinct taste and quality of all their items make the extra travel worthwhile. The salsa is so tasty that it isn't uncommon for me to purchase a quart to take home. One visit, one taste, is all it takes to become hooked on this restaurant's offerings, making it a memorable and compelling dining choice. ”
“ On this visit I ordered the Three Crunchy Beef Tacos meal. They were not skimpy on ingredients so it is a good value, and also delicious. ..................... I ordered an enchilada dinner and it was very good. ”
“ Everything but our waitress was awesome. She was dry acting. Best Mexican restaurant in town ”
“ Guadalajara never disappoints. They are the best Mexican restaurant to eat at. I love their salsa. I love their food. It's always good and so is the service. However, they have a health food safety rating of 85, so I will not be eating there again until it comes back up to 90 or better. That's why I gave them only 4 stars. ”
“ I love how chill the atmosphere is. Food is amazing and cooked to perfection. The table service was attentive but not hovering so that we can conversate. Definitely a great place to have a margarita night! ”
