We were seated at the dreaded table which is too close to the beam. You're literally backed into it. The hostess pulled out the table when I objected to sitting there and that made my chair block the servers' paths. Our server came and asked if we preferred to sit at the adjacent table to which I responded 'Yes!' He said he told her not to seat anyone there but... I'm glad he moved us. And I ordered my usual pescado frito because it's my favorite. Was good and juicy with well fried skin. Yum! He chose burrito Colorado as he likes it better than the tacos he had last time. I splurged on a frozen strawberry margarita. Went down so smooth. Delicious. A nice way to end a stressful week. I do like the pretty lights for their decorations. read more

Came from out of town couldn't have been more satisfied. Food was amazing and service was excellent.

Tried this place and it was very good. Nice large restaurant colorfully decorated. Full bar. We had the margaritas with the coronita and it was very good mix. The salsa was brought to the table complimentary with chips and had nice spice. Everything was flavorful and fresh. We had beef tacos, chicken quesadillas, enchilada with mole sauce, avocado tostados, and guacamole with chips. read more

It was okay. I'm native to Southern California and was surprised when some of the dishes can out with ground meat. Overall the food was fine, I was expecting more sazón and grilled meats packed with texture and flavor. read more

I won't be going back to this place. Ordered a taco which was torn apart from being soggy, The meat in the taco wasn't even chewable. I also got steak nachos, it looks like the meat was steamed instead of grilled, the cheese was hard and the whole thing was bland. Also, I think they should put the guacamole separate from the meal next time. I dont know if its just the mediocrity of castle rock but mexican good in CR is straight garbage. Also 30+ for nachos and a damn taco! read more

First off, great salsa! Perfect heat level for the whole family. Was a little taken aback by what appeared to be a bullet hole in the window but it was from the outside and not the inside so who knows. The place is pricey for the quality of food but the portions were large so I guess if I can make two meals out of it then I guess it's not so bad. Glad I finally had a chance to try this place, I would not drive from Denver just for it but if I'm close (and I am a lot thanks to 105 brewery) I would come here again. read more

I'm writing this review for my parents in their 80s who aren't exactly 'computer literate'. My parents had dinner at Guadalajara on Oct. 10th, and my parents, who are on a fixed retirement income and only eat out as a 'treat', paid for the meal, $67.55 using a credit card (receipt attached). They also, as they always do, left a $20 cash tip on the table for the server as they are 'old school' and believe that 'cash is king' and that servers prefer cash to credit card tips to avoid credit card charges, etc. My father always writes "Tip on table", and the amount for the meal, less tip, on the total line of the credit card charge slip. A month later, when reviewing their back statement, the charge processed and posted by the bank on Oct. 13th was in the amount of $87.55. So not only did they get a $20.00 cash tip but also ran $20.00 on the credit card, which was posted. While Guadalajara has always had good food and service and a family-friendly atmosphere, it's not worthy of a nearly 60% tip. Unfortunately, they cannot dispute the charge because the bank needs the restaurant's credit card charge slip and they obviously do not have it. So enjoy good food at Guadalajara, and the food is highly recommended, but I strongly suggest not tipping in cash and leaving it on your card in order to avoid double charged tips. My parents hate to do it but they view it as having 'pre-paid' a tip for their next visit and, despite the fact that the server will end up being 'shorted', they feel as if they unknowingly and without authorization double-tipped the previous server. read more

Patronized this business regularly until today. I got the Mexican Trio I think it was and it was some of the worst food I've ever had and at nearly $30!!!!!! I will never go back. Slap in the face to their patrons passing off this food as anything other than trash. They should be embarrassed read more

We ordered takeout. The food was warm. And tasty when we got home. Friendly front desk person. We have been there numerous times and never disappointed read more

This place never disappoints. Food was on point, had mole enchiladas, the mole was outstanding. Service was incredibly fast and the entire wait staff was friendly and treated us like royalty, as always. The dining room was clean and bright and makes you feel like you're south of the border. read more

So disappointed. I got an order of chicken flautas to go and when I made the short drive home they were so incredibly soggy. They were $19 and I had half of one before throwing it all away. I don't understand why you'd package up flautas on top of wet lettuce with guacamole on top. There was no crisp to them and they were completely inedible. Can't believe I wasted $20 on it. read more

Went here for a friend's birthday, they picked it so off we went. We had reservations but really didn't need them on a Tuesday night, even with 5 of us. We were greeted & seated immediately, while waiting for the other 3 in our party to show. Great, warm, fresh chips & homemade salsa was first up & they were delivered to us right away. The salsa was mild, but ask for the really spicy stuff personally. Service was great! Didn't catch the waiter's name, but he really knew how to work with guests. The restaurant itself was big & very clean. Custom chairs with beautiful scenes painted on them were at the tables, as well as comfy booths. Food was ok, it was standard Mexican cuisine. The dishes had refried beans, Mexican slaw & rice on most of them. The plates were very hot. Dessert of Sopapias & fried ice cream were very good! If you're looking for a Mexican place & in Castle Rock, give Guadalajara a try. read more

This was a lunch stop for us while traveling. Fajita salad - not enough stars to rate it - delicious!!! Staff is friendly. Great service. Comfortable, relaxing dining experience. We will be back on our next trip through! read more

Food was excellent, service was friendly, highly recommended. Could use a refresh, but decor is authentic. Very happy with our experience.

Thank you Loranso for informing me that I have a "sensitive palette" when I let you know that I did not care for my food. I would also like to thank you on the lesson on how to better order my food in the future so it will be more to my liking. I appreciate the nasty dinner and INSULTS tonight. By the way I have ordered plate everytime I have been in this restaurant and it was never prepared this way in all the years we have been coming here. How do you mess up a cheese enchilada???????!!!!!!!!! My family and I come in often as it is my mother's favorite restaurant in town. Instead of listening to me that something was wrong you just continued to insult me. So thank you for the advise but we WILL NOT BE RETURNING! read more

My wife and I are always on the hunt for some solid Mexican food. Well, X marks the spot here at Guadalajara. A huge, extensive menu of delicious true Mexican delights. I guarantee there is something for everyone here. I'll definitely be going back to try some more and to check off the more of their margaritas. Actually, I'll have to go back many many times to try all their margaritas. Challenge accepted! read more

I ordered a vegetarian burrito and it came with ground beef...... it all tasted canned or prepackaged...even the guac.

After church lunch with 10 friends. I normally have their Tortilla Soup which is the best I've ever had. But today I tried the Chef's Choice Enchiladas Culichi. Ground beef in corn tortillas with a green poblano and spinach cream sauce. Actually really tasty but I still prefer the Tortilla Soup! And because I'd previously raved over the soup 2 of our lunch companions tried it and they LOVED IT! Antonio presided over our meal and provided stellar service! Miguel, keep doing what you're doing because it's working! Great food ... great service. read more

This is our family's favorite local place. Quick service, good atmosphere, the food is amazing!! The entire menu is good. Just yummm.

Excellent service quick greeting, quick refills of chips and water and friendly. Standard Mexican style restaurant theme. For the food I got a beef chimichanga with queso covered 8/10 for a chimichanga fried right crisp and loaded. Beans 7/10 rice 7/10. Salsa good 6/10 but spicy all in all it was an excellent for a Mexican restaurant in Colorado and the best I've had in the Castle rock area. read more

I am sad to say that this might be the worst Mexican food I've had. My husband ordered the chile relleno, tamale and enchilada combo. The relleno cheese was hard, not even melted. The waiter said that's just how it comes. Everything was dry and hard and disgusting. The worst part is that it's expensive. The 3 taquitos were $18. Luckily we had a coupon and is why we tried it. read more

Delicious food and a great place for a family dinner! We were seated within 10 or less minutes and had great service. Everyone in my family loved their food. I had the nachos which were especially tasty! We came here after the star lighting last year. Looking forward to going back! read more

Another great meal here. The Pollo Fundido was good, as always. My daughter tried the quesadilla for the first time and may've stumbled onto her go-to dish. This is an appetizer, but it's clearly meant to be shared, because the thing is massive. She ate two of the six triangles, and I had most of one. The ground meat and cheese both had wonderful flavor. Looking forward to trying some of the other variations...and either splitting it or seeing if a half version might be available. Chips and salsa are always good, and service was fine. read more

Restaurant is very clean and a very nice mexican decor...Never needed to wait long to be seated...Food is fantastic! Don't have to be worried of not getting enough, they load you up! Always take home leftovers when I'm there. Waiters and Waitresses are fast and very polite...pricing is good and fair--no more than any other restaurant. There is always ample parking...It is my number one go to Mexican Restaurant...I just love the food and atmosphere...If you haven't gone to Guadalajara, go and try it....you won't be disappointed. read more

Their food is good to great. You always get good value with their generous portions. Their service is always excellent. They have a lot of booths which makes your dining fee more private. read more

Food was great and plentiful! Service was very good too. Big place with lots of seating.

It was good, delicious, but maybe because they know how to make a damn good drink it only took one. Bartender knows how to bartend.

The "Ultimate" margarita is the best. Food and service have never disappointed. Excellent tamales, soft rellenos, enchiladas and taco salad. We start with the plain cheese nachos--not shy with the cheese! In the late afternoon it's a quiet ambiance. read more

Always delicious, consistent food, great carne asada, wide selection of great margaritas. Chips and salsa are EXCELLENT.

A different kind of Mexican food, all the dishes are very tasty and filling. My go to is always just a simple burrito and the beef is very well seasoned with sauce. The side of rice is a bit plain but it combines well with the main beef seasoning. Great service from the staff and plenty of seating for even large groups. read more

Clean. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Whether you dine in, or take out, always great food.

We have been here a few times. Over all they are my current favorite Mexican restaurant in a 10 mile area around my home. What makes them my favorite? 1.) great customer service over all. They have had some small service issues just with forgetting things with an order and being very slow with finishing bringing a ticket, little minor things over all. Service is always friendly, helpful, and attentive. 2.) their queso is good. I come from an area in the Midwest with a large Hispanic population and we are blessed with many restaurants. All of them have amazing queso that's spicy, silky and cheesy. Here in Denver area, all queso is usually thick, bland and goopy. This one is thicker but still flavorful and smooth. For Denver area it's one of the best I've found. 3.) Their meats always taste fresh and well prepared no matter what style I order. Beef Colorado, nice and tender. Chicken and steak fajitas, fresh, pretty lean and delicious. Shredded chicken in the tacos, flavorful and not too spicy, mix of white and dark meat seemingly. 4.) the have a very mild kids salsa that they volunteered to me when dining with my toddler!! Much love for that. 5.) my mom's favorite Mexican dish ever was eaten here.... It was chicken with a creamy sauce over a bed of rice. It was super delicious, a little too rich for me to have a full meal of. Creamy sauces are always like that for me though. Over all, little to complain about and lots to love! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Horrible just ate there. Food was very bad and burned. Service disrespectful. The owner-our sever yelled at me saying the 6lb tiny service dog had to be on the floor, both my arms were tangled in my jacket and I was trying to get free to put the dog on the floor. I told him I will put her on the floor as I was trying to untangle my arms. He continued to berate me and all the customers were watching him embarrass us while trying to get loose. Told me the service dog had to be on the floor. Wrong a service dog for diabetics and cardiac need to be on the chest to smell when there is a medical emergency. I had the harness to keep her on my chest to do her trained and certified job. He denied me and her our federal rights. I do not recommend this place at all! read more

We really just came for the margaritas on National Margarita Day. Their special was a Blue Margarita and it was delicious!! Service was great and the ambiance was very casual. It was a Wednesday afternoon so there weren't many people in the restaurant. The complimentary chips and salsa were pretty good too. The salsa is pretty spicy so be careful! read more

I ate here and was charged twice. Once for the pre tip amount and once for the post tip amount. So my already overpriced meal for two turned into almost $80! If you eat here be sure to check bank statements after. I tried to contact them using the contact page on the website and am still waiting to hear back. I had to file a dispute with my bank to hopefully get one of the charges dropped. Such a pain for a dinner out. read more

Our go to Mexican comfort food. I especially love the fajitas and seafood soup, the wife is a big fan of Combo #1.

Went there for mothers day. Food was average level Mexican food, took about 20m to get someone to take our order, an hour to be served our food. (table of 3 of us). Can't see myself going back or recommending, so many other better options and the pricing wasn't any less than other places. read more

This is the perfection of hometown, authentic restaurant. My partner grew up in Castle Rock and we chose to stop at Guadalajara before a show in Denver. I could not have been more thankful for his idea to take me here. I was in love from the moment I saw the brightly colored furniture and the warm smiles from the employees. The service was incredibly fast and attentive, and I gobbled up my enchiladas in pure delight. If we move to Castle Rock in the future, I hope we find a house right next to Guadalajara, lol!! Can't wait to go back. read more

My family and I have been going to Guadalajaras for 17 years. The service is always great and the menu is extensive and has something for everyone. My husband and I love the chicken molichi and steak Jalisco. Their margaritas are awesome too and they have lots of options for kids. The ambiance is very colorful, decorated with traditional Mexican decor. If you're celebrating a birthday, they will bring out a large sombrero and sing to you. They have options for accommodating large groups, but I suggest calling ahead. read more

I am really sorry, I hate writing a bad reviews. My family and I had an early dinner here. We had an absolute horrible experience. From the very start, the host was not friendly, we had a bit of an attitude from the waitress who was impatient with us because one of the people in our party had to use the restroom and so we took a few extra minutes ordering. I ordered an enchilada combo, and the 3 other people in our party ordered chili rellenos, and a mole enchilada. The chips at the beginning of the meal were stale. The enchilada sauce was sweet, inedible, the beans were not good. I can not speak for any one else at our table, but none of us finished our food and we did not ask for boxes to take home. Unfortunately, the food upset all of our stomachs. None of us felt well on the way home or in the evening and we have all been experiencing stomach upset. I am unable to recommend this restaurant. read more
