This is my order biscuits and gravy
Carlos S.

I love this place it was my first time here we came to fellowship and this so good the service is amazing

Warm chips and salsa
Daniel O.

When it's good it's great. Chips almost always taste fresh and warm. Were breakfast people here. It can get busy and some of the staff are a little too chatty about the behind the scenes that guest can hear. Salsa is chunky but good. Diet Coke always hits IYKYK! Never been for dinner, the menudo harmony/tripe ratio always spot on.

Combination #7 - Chicken Taquitos with black beans; Carnitas Burrito wet with green sauce.

I ordered the chilaquiles verde and my husband order the chilaquiles rojo and added carne asada. I do appreciate a cook that can make over easy eggs just as I like them so I was glad about that but I'm going to be honest when I say that my chilaquiles were seriously lacking in flavor and spice, so I was sadly disappointed. My husband said his carne asada was good but that his chilaquiles were bland and definitely not spicy at all. Although he did enjoy their beans. I would have told them I didn't enjoy my but unfortunately after we were served our waitress never returned to check on us or refill our water. This was our second time here, we'd tried it once before and the food was decent that trip. We plan on giving it another try as we saw they had a good variety for mariscos, but yeah don't bother disappointing yourself with the chilaquiles. ‍

Guadalajara Mexican Grill is one of those spots where you know what you're getting--and honestly,…read morethere's something to be said for that. Is it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? Probably not. But the food is solid, reliable, and always enjoyable, which is exactly why I keep coming back. Now, if you're a fan of drinks, music, and a festive atmosphere, this place definitely brings the party. It has that lively, colorful Mexican restaurant vibe, and I personally love that they have live music on certain days. My little one and I especially enjoy sitting outside in their enclosed patio area. It's such a nice little setup! Depending on the day and time, it can get pretty packed, but I've honestly never had a bad experience here. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is something you can count on. So no, I'm not going to crown Guadalajara the king of all Mexican food--but sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you just want good food, a fun atmosphere, some music, and a place that consistently delivers. And Guadalajara does exactly that.

I was in Temecula and wanted to try a Mexican restaurant, so we decided on Guadalajara. The service…read morewas great, and they have TVs by the bar if you're the type who likes to watch your Sunday games while eating and having a drink. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

Not only did they have them, but they were absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and perfect in every bite. They serve authentic Mexican food, and everything we ordered was excellent. I had the carne asada fries with beans on the side. The carne asada was tender, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. The beans were flavorful and complemented the meal nicely. My husband ordered the grilled fish taco and said it was very good as well. The service was decent, and the overall experience was enjoyable. We're glad we discovered Don Pancho's and have found a new go-to spot for great Mexican food in the area.

Hubby had his usual nachos with shredded beef, I had an à la carte chicken enchilada with green verde sauce, a Carnitas tostada, the son had an Al pastor burrito and a Carne Asada taco. Everything was tasty and our server was especially friendly. Our son said this was one of the best Al pastor burritos he's had since we moved here over four years ago. My Carnitas tostada was super yummy. The chicken enchilada didn't seem to have as much sauce and cheese as I would've liked so next time I'll try the cheese enchilada. Inside was a cute little sit down restaurant next to a to- go area with a bar inside. Service was quick, personable, and welcoming. Wanna go back to try other items!! 3.5 stars
