I thought the food was bland. The service at lunch, while not very busy, was inattentive and slowish. The chili Colorado was watery and borderline flavorless. The chips and salsa was good. The staff wasn't very attentive with regards to chip or beverage refills. I will be hard pressed to return. I have been aware of this restaurant for many years and gave it a try. read more

Guadalajara Aurora - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Guadalajara has a fun and welcoming atmosphere. We were greeted and seated almost immediately. Service was quick, but not rushed. The whole team pitched in to service tables, so our bellies stayed full and our cups were never empty. They started us off with chips and salsa. It tasted like the Mexican food I know (from SoCal). I ordered two enchiladas which came with rice, beans, and coleslaw. The enchiladas were okay, but I could taste oil. My kiddos ordered Tacos Al Carbon combo plate and a loaded wet burrito. They enjoyed their food. Parking was easy as they have a parking lot and I believe it may be shared with the hotel behind it. I'd visit again when in the area, but I'd order a different meal. read more

Hubby and I stopped in for dinner. It was sooooo good. The server was so attentive. I ordered the new Fuego Mezcalita and it's the best cocktail I've had in a long time & fairly priced. It was sweet, smokey with a hint of spice. Our food came out in a good time frame. The salsa is perfect. I ordered combo #13 which was a tamale and taco with rice & beans. Hubby got a gigantic burrito. The vibe was chill & they had a few tvs with games on. Everything was so yummy. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

The service was attentive and polite! The food was hot when served! All plates came in a timely fashion and full of flavor. Wife enjoyed her #11 combo and I enjoyed my #21 combo! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting some tasty Mexican food! Sopapillas at the end really sealed the deal for my wife and I on this 5 star review! read more

I tried the burritos there and they are as good as they look. The service was very nice especially because I got to speak with the owner and very friendly people. The ambiance is the cherry on top because of its decorative qualities around the restaurant and it had really made me feel like I was in Mexico. I can't lie I think this is a place everyone should consider paying a visit just because you get to try foods from Mexico and overall a really good place to take families and friends. read more

they have good food and good size plate and great customer service my waitress was Roxana. Very nice and very helpful. Will recommend it and go back again. read more

This restaurant is located right next to a Quality Inn which made it very convenient for us when we stayed there. The atmosphere is good, very colorful. The food was pretty decent but pricey but I think it's regular prices for this area. The tortilla soup had good flavor and was filling. The parrillada was the hit though. It came with plenty of meats, rice, pico de gallo and beans. It could definitely be shared by two or three people depending on appetite. They serve beer and margaritas, but the margaritas are not made fresh per order. They taste like agave margaritas, not a fan. But they do serve ice cold beer. The service was good, food came out pretty fast. Lastly, the bathrooms were clean as well as the rest of the restaurant. If you're in the area or staying at the hotel next door, this restaurant is a good option. We had a party of 5, 3 adults and 2 children and we paid over $100. read more

I went with my family I order the menudo and I have to say I was disappointed. They didn't give the correct type of bread that goes with it instead it was a toast. I'll had huge bones and little food. They didn't have chile to go with it and the rest was mostly water. I asked for the big portion but I was surprised to received mostly liquid and 2 huge bones that took the most part of the plate. I did notice that the vives had changed. This use to be a big Hispanic restaurant but now i didn't see many Hispanic. I believe the food is becoming less authentic and they are changing they flavors. There was like 4 other tables but still I ran out of water and it took a while before getting me some more. Overall I was disappointed. read more

3.5. Crazy menu a lot of options. Loved two meals didn't like a third. I'll keep going as there are alot of other items I want to try.

My boyfriend's and my go to place for Mexican food. It is consistently tasty and the large portions make it so you always have leftovers! Staff is attentive and friendly. Good free chips and salsa. It is your typical homestyle Mexican cuisine, but it always satisfies my cravings! read more

Lidia is an awesome waitress. She can suggest the best for your desires. The food is always great and abundant.

I've have lived in aurora all my life and this place has been around for years and still fire ! Got the molcajete , and bf got the los 3 cochinitos . 1 margarita, and Michelada, agua fresca de piña and horchata paid $89 not including tip . Chips and salsa bomb ‍ I always say if the salsa isn't good the food won't be either! But this place never disappoints food had flavor and not plain or dry at all ! The salsa (more like caldo) in the molcajete slaps . The chicken and meat were juicy . Fresh homeade maíz tortillas ‍We went home with left overs , you leave there full . Felt like i was eating at my mommas place . read more

Stay away from this location. Food watery and nuked. Was a regular for a long time. They changed ownership. Last visit Food was Brought out cold. They returned same plate after microwaving it, making it soupy and rubbery. Staff did not care and was slow in service. Playing with your hair, picking your nose, not washing hands all were noticed from my view of where I sat facing kitchen. No apology or anything. Will never return and advise all not to even consider this place. read more

TERRIFIC SERVICE! WONDERFUL FOOD! GREAT PRICES!! I really loved it here. First, everyone is soooo very nice and hardworking. I truly appreciate that with all my heart. I know how hard the food industry can is, and how difficult people can be sometimes. THANK YOU to the staff first and foremost! Man, the food is just amazing!! Not only was it tasty, but there was A LOT of it! Get your doggy bag ready!! You can't beat the prices either, especially in this economy. Win, Win, Win all around!! read more

Amazing and friendly service! Stopped in for a quick meal after an event. We ordered a combination plate with a Al pastor taco, chicken enchilada and a pork tamale and a beer. We also ordered the sopa de albondigas. It's my favorite to eat year round and theirs was so good and huge! The meat balls were huge and so generous. I loved the large portion of onions and cilantro. Lots of searing, huge menu and quick service. We received our chips and salsa even before we took off our winter coats. The restaurant is well lit with lots of colorful and fun decor. Plus it was decorated for the holiday season. Thank you for a wonderful meal and we will be back. read more

We eat here one to two times a week when we are in Colorado. They are pretty consistent with their quality. Through the years we have only experienced 2 not so good visits. The menu is extensive. All meals look just like the pictures in the menu and taste yummy. I love the refried beans. Best of all you don't have to wait long once you order your food. Food is served nice and hot. We have sampled most of the menu items with mostly high quality and taste rating. My only complaint is that I always need a take home box read more

I had the mixed fajitas was very good But the waiter took forever to attend us and the food tasted kinda funky did not think it was worth it read more

Guadalajara Aurora - Mixed fajitas tasted funky - Mexican Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

What a gem to find! Margaritas were delicious, chile relleno had a cheese pull that I would compare to a Chili's mozzarella stick! The green chili they top it with was the best I've had in the entire state of Colorado. The salsa was surprisingly spicy - most places's salsa is pretty tame but this one caught me off guard. It had great flavor! Tamale could have had more filling and less masa. Overall we loved it! read more

Always on point! Our go to for Mexican! Fast service. Pipping hot food! It never disappoints.

MASSIVE BURRITO! I ordered the Expresso Burrito which is a pork burrito, sort of carnitas style, smothered in sauce. It was sooo good! There was a good amount of pork inside of the burrito & the pork itself was tender and had a lot of great flavor. I had ordered my meal to-go and it was ready quickly & the packaging was perfect for the size of that thing lol They also gave me chips & salsa in my order, definitely a bonus! I'm so happy I pass by this place all the time because this visit was definitely the first of many! read more

This place came highly recommended and the photos online looked so good. When I went in to eat the restaurant was pretty empty so I was happy and thought I would get quick service. That was not the case. 40 minutes went by and nobody had taken my food order so I got up and left. The folks working were hanging out talking in the corner so I figured they didn't want to serve me. That's unfortunate. read more

Guadalajara is your run of the mill Mexican restaurant. Good food and nice staff with a fun seating area and colorful décor. If you're in the mood for Mexican cuisine this spot is a great option for all the fixings. This isn't the best restaurant in terms of parking and location, but all I really care about is the food. Good food equals happy me! read more

Great chips and salas. Enchilada and taco combo plate was delicious as was the chili Colorado. Margarita great. Not too sweet or sour and good amount of tequila. $8.50 for house. Happy hour starts a 3pm. read more

Fun atmosphere and the food is quite decent! Loved the baja burrito. Their fajitas are also pretty good.

Delicious family owned Mexican restaurant that hits the spot! Stopped in for lunch since I was in the area and have heard great things about this local family Mexican restaurant chain. The food was delicious, my only complaint is that my Chili Rellano wasn't cooked all the way and was sort of cold and not melted in the middle, as well as the chicken being sorta bland. That being said the green chili was good, the Chimichanga was unique with the red sauce, and I would 100% eat there again ! read more

Food was pretty good. Standard Mexican food, but much better than what we get in the east coast! Service was excellent.

Highly recommend this place if you just want your standard Mexican food done well (and to that extent, I'm giving this place 5 stars). It's not extraordinary or fancy by any means and if we include those features it probably rates closer to 4 stars. Other reviews are pretty spot on. Highlights: - Overall food quality and taste is one step above most of the other similar Mexican restaurants. - The grill flavor and texture on the carne asada is amazing! I come here whenever in Denver area (I live in the mountains) because of it. Just wish they offered carne asada as a burrito meat option (well, they do, but with a bunch of other stuff inside too). - The rice and beans (of all things) are also extra good. I bought a side of rice here to go with some of those al a carte tacos...I never do that. But here? Worth it. - Frozen margaritas were super tasty - Friendly service Considerations: - The "one step above" in quality comes at a "one step above" price point, a couple to a few bucks more than the standard comparable Mexican restaurant. Still reasonable and I happily pay a bit extra for what I get when I come here. Still definitely not what you'll pay at the fancier options in trendier areas. Somewhere in between, which really kinda sums this place up in general. - The shredded chicken was incredibly bland and I will absolutely be avoiding it when selecting future dishes. read more

We had a very pleasant experience. The restaurant is very cute on the inside. Clean establishment. We were seated immediately. Our waiter was very friendly.

I recently stayed at the La Quinta right next to this place so it was a very convenient experience. Previous ratigs aside, I wanted to do an up to date review. Things to know off the bat: Prices are a bit higher than I expected. Expect $12-18 per person. Food was a small step above average, but not by a lot. If you've ever had Mexican food, EVER, in your life, you'll know what flavors and experience to expect. They have a full selection of alcoholic drinks, if you're feeling so inclined. Their chips and salsa are actually REALLY GOOD. But the chips being the highlight says something in itself. I ordered a skillet with two meats, and it was more than I could finish at one time. So I'd have to say I approve of portion sizes. All the staff was friendly, helpful, and spot on with their timing. Two thumbs up for them! In summary, give them a try. I enjoyed it overall. read more
