Reviews for Guadalajara Mexican Grill & Cantina in Temecula, CA

Nice place. Appeared clean from outside and nice atmosphere inside. Floors were a bit dirty with napkins and food but otherwise... clean. The staff and our server were great. Prices were reasonable. We all ordered something different. The appearance of thefood was great. I downgraded to only four stars because the favors did not stand out as I hoped for. My chili rellano onlytasted of the cheese and batter. No chili flavor at all. The shredded beef taco was good but… my wife ordered the chili Verdiplate. It was good but again lacking that moist and chili flavor we enjoy. This plate was a little small for price. The othersin our party had the Birria tacos. They looked amazing and would like to try in the future but they did not note any exceptionalflavors. Again our server was exceptional and always there to help and make suggestions. There was mariachis and they weregreat. There was also a very well decorated outdoor area with live music. Overall we liked this place just wish for a littlemore flavor. We will return but wish they had those unique flavors that makes us want to be there more often. Read more

We've been here a couple of other times and have always had a great meal, today was just as great! Not too busy at lunch time,... friendly staff. Prompt service our appetizer, queso fundido was good. Our lunches were hearty servings and served hot. I'm kindaparticular about mexican food and I was not disappointed. Chile verde with beans and rice was awesome. The macho burrito was agiant, filled with both chile colorado and chile verde. We were stuffed! Read more

California needs a better Mexican restaurant. This experience was not great at all. The two matching pigtail hair girls at the... host desk seemed to not know what they were doing and seemed lost. They seated people who came in after us first when we onlyhad a party of 2. They were constantly on their phones and even heard them talking bad about customers. The food was bland noflavor. Hard and dry and crispy. Carnitas crunched more than the chips. They were drier than a Popeyes biscuit. Drinks were weakand had no flavor. We tried 3 different drinks and all were so gross. Only the beer was good. You can not go wrong with beer orwater. Seriously ONLY order beer here. They can’t mess that up. Hot sauce taste like spaghetti sauce. By far the worse tastingfood I’ve had here in California. Order things that did not even come out and honestly I am glad no telling how that tasted.The only thing I enjoyed here was the live music. That says a lot. Bring Texas Mexican food over here. Probably will not comeback or recommend. Read more

The food itself was amazing! Price wasn't too bad. One hot plate came out 5 minutes before anything else, and after we were done... waiting had a 10 minute wait for the server to realize we were ready to go. Would still recommend coming here to eat andhopefully my family experience their was just a one off. Read more

Trying to find a great 5 Star rating on Mexican food in Temecula was tough. We asked some friends that live in Temecula and they... all said go here for a great atmosphere and great food. I can always test a Mexican restaurant how the make a simple dish calledHuevos Rancheros. This was really good and came with fresh tortillas. Salsa and chips was also good. We will be back!

We came to Guadalajara to celebrate a family members birthday. We were seated quickly and the drinks and food came out timely.... The beer was good, and the enchiladas were good but not great. There isn't much ambiance but the service was top notch. I wouldrecommend for dinner with family. Read more
