If your looking for a Tex-Mex leaning more to the Mex side, this is a good place to eat. You don't get that sterile big restaurant feel of the Pappasitos, Lupe's or El Tiempos. You get the feel of a family run restaurant. The food is generous and has good flavor. The price is half what you pay at the other places. Thimbs up for Fiesta en Guadalajara! read more

After many visits to Fiesta en Guadalajara, I'm finally writing a review. This visit focused on takeout and the Grande Dinner. True to its name, the meal was loaded with food: two beef enchiladas, beans, plenty of cheese, a beef taco with all the traditional toppings, plus chips and salsa. It was hearty, satisfying comfort food with generous portions. One of the restaurant's strengths is consistency. I typically come in around noon to place my order with the pleasant hostess, and it's ready within 10 to 15 minutes. The staff is always friendly, and the food arrives hot and fresh. Fiesta en Guadalajara remains a regular stop in my Houston Northside rotation. If you're looking for no-frills Mexican comfort food and generous portions, it's worth checking out. read more

I still love this place! The waiters are nice, the food and drinks are good. They have mariachis on the weekends and a DJ on one side of the restaurant with a dance floor. I was there on Friday and ordered a Pina colada and a cat fish. Then we danced the night away. read more

Food was horrible! Service was even worse! What happened to this place? I used to come here all the time.

It was delicious, truly authentic Mexican food. Order the Margarita Flight and we loved all the flavors. Will be coming back read more

I feel like this is what a Mexican restaurant should be! The salsa was hot and freshly made with big chunks of onion, chips were hot and fresh as well. We ordered the large guacamole and it also had fresh ingredients. We split the ribeye fajitas (served whole like a typical ribeye, or sliced like Fajitas) with the bacon wrapped shrimp and Both were yummy! Huge patio, will be coming back read more

Delicious WITH an oasis of a patio?! Inside expect a fun and loud atmosphere but outside is relaxing and so nice during good weather with all the pretty plants growing and getting to listen to the water fountain while sipping on a margarita (loved the skinny!) Service was extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home and comfortable. We usually get to bring home leftovers after a Tex-mex dinner but this was so yummy it was the exception and not a bite was left! read more

Walked in to have dinner and left the place deaf, thanks to the loud-ass mariachis, not sure why Mexican restaurants think that they have to blast Mexican music all night long. Theotihuican is the place to eat on Irvington!!! read more

We always come here on the weekends for the soup or for special occasions. We have been coming here over 25 years and we love it.

This place is as so much fun! I was there on a Friday night, they had a live band. The food was really good and the drinks were delicious. The cantarito is a must try. The service was a little slow but it was understanding as they were extremely busy. I got there at 8pm and had to pay $10 to park read more

This evening me and my family came to eat. As we were sitting there, a table next to us got scared and we looked to see what was going on, there was a RAT RUNNING through the restaurant! We told the waiter what we all had seen. She did not seem bothered or concerned about it , it was like if it was normal for this to happen ... management ever came over to apologize, NOTHING. We definitely will not be coming back here again. read more

The service and quality of food and drinks here are top tier. Hands down the best Mexican restaurant in Houston. Huge parking lot to handle large crowds.

Great food. Great service! This place always makes sure you get the best service. Food comes out hot, variety of dishes! Always make sure to get the Margaritta as they are one of the best in Houston read more

After an unpleasant visit several years ago we have avoided this restaurant. Last week we decided to give it another try, but won't bother to return again. Certainly the most disappointing Mexican food we have been served in any Houston restaurant. No complaints about service which was pleasant, but this place is in desperate need of a solid cook/chef/kitchen supervisor. Salsa has the consistency of water with some onions & chili floating in it. Refried beans are a soupy mush that require a spoon to eat & have nothing in common with the refritos served by other restaurants. Nachos arrived on a platter that was "floating" in 1/4 inch of liquid that we had to pour off into a saucer. The kitchen obviously fails to drain the liquid from the ground meat & tomatoes that are dumped on top of the sloppy & unappetizing mess. Would be hard pressed to believe the guacamole isn't squeezed from a plastic bag & the ground meat in all 4 entree dishes was basically flavorless. No one in our group could taste any tequila in the house margaritas so we asked the server to find out what tequila was being used in their margaritas? We could see the server ask the bartender, but he merely shrugged his shoulders as if he had zero clue which pretty much underscored the lack of tequila taste. Asked 3 times about pricing of the "Happy Hour" margaritas that are listed on the restaurant's website, printed on the menus & appear in a sign above the bar, but was told there was NO Happy Hour margaritas at 4:00PM on a Wednesday. Really? Pricing at this place remains some of the very highest we have encountered at a neighborhood Mexican restaurant, which may be why there were only 5 other cars in their huge parking lot on the day we visited. read more

This place is great!! We had great service and it has some fantastic authentic Mexican food!!

Let's start with the positives. There are lots of parking spots, the margaritas are tasty and not too sweet, and he chips and salsa is quality. I don't eat meat so my options were limited and I made the mistake of getting the Spinach and Mushroom enchiladas. DO NOT make this same mistake. They were gross. It wasn't that they just weren't good, I can deal with mediocre. These spinach and mushroom enchiladas were disgusting. I'll go back to give them another shot. But I will not be ordering the spinach and mushroom enchiladas, and I suggest you avoid them as well. read more

I love it the place is just wonderful the people there are wonderful the food is wonderful you don't have to wait a long time you're in and out the drinks are wonderful it is just a good place I would eat there every day if I could read more

The food and the ambiance here is pretty awesome, however, the parking situation here is a nightmare and when the parking lot is full you have to pay for Valet which I believe is unfair. I was able to find parking after a while, but this was a frustrating experience. My family and I went on a Friday night and sat in the area where live music and DJ plays and it was pretty cool, we dance and had such a fun time. The parrillada was pretty amazing, it had a mixture of beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas. The beef fajita was cooked perfectly to a medium temperature and it was very tender. I definitely recommend this place if you want to have fun birthday dinner or family gathering. read more

Fiesta En Guadalajara - Parrillada Mixta (Chicken, Beef, Shrimp) - Mexican Near Me - Houston, Texas

Started with drinks and queso flameado Saturday night. They were busy but service was great. The queso flameado comes out plated just like every other restaurant, but then they prepare it tableside. They turn it into these amazing little cheese tacos wrapped in warm flour tortillas from heaven. Highly recommended. The fresh diced tomatoes and lettuce helps balance out the cheese. Ask for the salsa verde, it's amazing. The regular salsa that comes with the chips is good too. I was with a group and they ordered parrillas to share, I'm not sure of the names. One of them came with grilled chicken, fajita, shrimp, and quail, all of which was delicious. Cooked just right, not tough, seasoned well. The other had sliced steak of some kind (a little tough but still good), bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp with cheese and jalapeños, AMAZING, might have been more on there too, I don't remember. The rice and beans were good. FYI they have valet parking and a private event area of some sort or club area to one of the sides when you walk in. Not 100% sure what it was. read more

Food was not good at all. Very basic white washed Mexican food. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Been there several times, recently with a large group. The restaurant has a good ambiance , the wait staff was kind enough to drop a screen and project the Astros game. Food is always good however a friend ordered the shrimp with corn and potato....I would not recommend their shrimp read more

Basic food for the price spent $200 and the service was slow the restaurant was not even busy will not go back for the simple food and price. Spanish flower which is right down the street is way better with reasonable prices you get your money's worth for sure. read more

Love this place we have been coming here for years now and we always enjoy it food a drinks and the live Dj

Food is great , but waitress are just plain slow and don't care for customer service.

First time here, they give you chips and red salsa which is actually pretty good however if you want green salsa it's $2. I got the Shrimp Botana & I didn't like it at all. The shrimp are big but the seasoning they put on it smells/tastes gross. My mom got a fajita Cobb salad & she enjoyed it. read more

We recently moved into the area and wanted to find our weekly Mexican spot and this place is it! The food is delicious, the service is great and we haven't been disappointed once. We bring our friends and family here all the time. Highly recommend! read more

I have been coming here since I was a teenager and service has always been good up until tonight. They sat us in the palapa side and we waited for a good 15 min and no one ever came to get our order or even address that we were there. No waters, no chips and salsa, NADA! The food and drinks are good BUT the service sucked tonight. read more

My husband and I recently discovered this place. We have tried many different meals and they have all been delicious, staff is very welcoming and you get great service. read more

Guadalajara, Guadalajara! I will love you past manana! For many years I have come here as a child and now as mother I still come here with children of my own. My kids love their spicy salsa, creamy queso, sizzling fajitas as mommy has a good ol' margarita. Weekday nights are so much fun, they have a separate place with a dance floor which is perfect for parents and kids to go and dance with the cool Latin beats! (However children are technically not allowed, but they are willing to make exceptions). The service is always great, servers are on top of us making sure that we have all our needs full filled. Yes this place is a little pricier than most restaurants near the area but it is all worth it, the food is always great, the ambiance is fun, and they have valet parking on weekends too! read more

Fresh tasty food with great service! I ordered late for my mother and they filled the request with care as they would if this was dine-in.

Had a great tome with friends. We were on the music side of place. Our waiter was awesome! We only had drinks. We wanted to enjoy the music. We had a great time. Music was great and drinks are great. Must try Paloma. It's delicious. read more

Parking sucks! They have valid parking & they take up half of the parking spaces. If they want valid parking they should park the valid cars arcoss the street. The parking lot should be for customers that do NOT want valid parking. CRAZY valid parking in North Side...really STUPID!!!!! Valid parking is ONLY on Friday & Saturday . Once again the PARKING SUCKS!!!!! Another thing the Karaoke guy must be deaf. The music is so LOUD you can't even hear each other talking. Food is great BUT valid parking SUCKS! read more

This place has some good food. There are a few restaurants in the area that serve decent Mexican dishes and this is my second favorite. We stopped by for a late lunch. They were not that busy, but seemed to be a little unorganized. Our food came fairly fast, but we had to ask for drink refills a few times. read more

A must try! This isn't a Tex-Mex! It's actually Mexican! Pros: food, drinks, fresh tortilla (corn&flour) and parking. Cons: none read more

I have been going here for years (15+ years) and never had any issues. Until recently that I went with my family of 4. The waiter was super rude and very lazy. He messed up or drinks and our orders. Not to mention that when it was time to pay he took the tab with the card for way longer than usual and I got charged twice. I didn't think to check my bank account until the next day. The moment I found out I took screen shots. Knowing after working in the bank industry for many years I waitied until during the week to make sure the charge wasn't processed however it never fell off my account and ended up processing. I then decided to call and speak to someone and the guy that answered was extremely rude and Instead of putting me on hold like any normal person. He just held the phone next to him and told his manager "esta vieja dice que según le cobramos de más" for this if you who don't know what that means, he is basically saying in a very tacky u professional manner that this women is claiming we dog les charged insinuating that I'm lying. I was like excuse me I'm still on the phone and I need to talk to your manager. And he said "cálmate no es para tanto" aka chill don't make a big deal. I then spoke to the manager and she asked me to wait a few days. So I mention I have waited a whole week by now. So I told her that I had already and explained who helped me and she says oh yeah we fired him we knew he was no good I'll look Into it. She says in their end there wasn't a double charge but on mine there was. She said I could come back and she would give me $75. I was so disappointed that I will never ever step foot there. I felt so disrespected in all aspects. I hate writing reviews like these but just be aware. read more
