I ruv it! They bought out free chips and salsa and the salsa tasted homemade, like the garlic and spice level. We got the nachos with steak which is an entree in itself. It was nicely layered and every bit is full of flavor and toppings. We also got the mole poblano with chicken was a nice size, a thigh and a leg, and came with rice and beans. For our third entree we ordered the bistec with nopales (cactus leaf) which was also a big portion that came with rice beans and salad and some nicely warmed soft tortillas wrapped in a hot towel. We enjoyed everything! The price was right and waitress was nice. Parking is hard to find though, so make sure you are prepared to spend a good amount of time looking.. very authentic place, decor was rustic Mexican, will be back! read more

I think about the huevos rancheros every morning it makes me so full I can't stand but boy is it worth it

I had one week this year where my stomach was in a lot of pain; I decided to try a veggie burrito from here on a whim, and it turned out to be the only thing that didn't hurt me all week! (Not to mention, it was DELICIOUS.) I've been a loyal customer since, as the experience definitely speaks to the quality of the food. Since then I've tried a lot of things on their menu, and found that my favorite is the chorizo flautas -- they're packed with flavor, and come with a nice side of their beans and rice. This is a cute spot, though I always seem to do take-out, and the staff is always super sweet and quick when I go in (they even had some chocolate for Halloween!) They have some grocery items available too -- I've grabbed maseca and queso fresco from here which I generally haven't been able to find at bodegas nearby. I get the sense that it's a smaller family business, so definitely come support! read more

Al pastor tacos. That's it. That's all you need to order from here. I've eaten at this very unassuming place many times and ordered for pickup. There are a few tables inside if you want to eat in the restaurant. I have tried other tacos here but the al pastor tacos keep me coming back. The pork is tender and the pineapple works well. I feel like I'm making a mess every time I order from here since there's so much juices. Add some lime and red/green hot sauce depending on how spicy you want it. Also very affordable. Check this place out! read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - Al pastor tacos - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Best mole I've ever had. Really authentic food with great service in a fun spot. Enchiladas were banging and the carne asada platter had large portions. Delicious cemitas and tamales too read more

Came into the bodega hoping to try some bangin food. Ordered a quesadilla, chicharron in a verde sauce, and some other dish served with red sauce. Overall, the flavors weren't to my liking. The style it was cooked in, the chicharron was mostly fatty and blubbery drenched in the sauce. I generally prefer the crispy crunchy way. This was the complete opposite to what I'm use to. The hot sauces were on point. The quesadilla was mediocre, wasn't to die for. My son didn't really enjoy it. He's not a picky eater and I feed him good food so I can trust his taste buds. Verdict - I must give them another try and order something else from their crazy menu. Im gonna give them another chance and have an updated review in the near future. I had a pleasant conversation with the man behind the counter, I enjoy the vibe in this bodega/restaurant. They have a variety of Hispanic soft drinks and some beers I never even heard of which were pretty good. read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - a dining area with tables and chairs - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I had high expectations for a few key dishes here, having been to Guadalajara and experienced how delicious vegetarian items like sopes and chillaquiles can be when made well. I happened to be in Ridgewood the other day so made a pit stop here after filling up on boreks. I only had the appetite for some sopes...and they were fine. For me fresh sopes right off the grill oozing with cheese are hard to beat, and don't even need to be layered with crema on top. But these didnt have that fresh off the grill magic, and the lettuce and crema on top weighed them down in my opinion. Perhaps on another visit I will give the chillquiles a shot. read more

Beans and rice hit if you're looking for nostalgic 90's style. Goat tacos are super grisly, Al pastor is missable, it's all pretty expensive for the quality... try the tent stand on Myrtle-Wyckoff if you want satisfying authentic. read more

BEST MEXICAN FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. No joke. This was soooo good I can't stop thinking about it lol. My friend told me he knew a good authentic Mexican place (I feel like i have a pretty good sense for that cus there are a lot of great Mexican places in Chicago) and I was blown away. I got chicken tacos and rice. The tortillas had to have been homemade cus they were that perfect chewy consistency. The salsas were amazing. Everything about it was so delicious I can't rave enough. I wish I was back in New York to buy this every day. read more

The BEST mole I have ever had by far(I had it on enchiladas, amazing) really friendly service and nice setting. I will come back here for sure!! read more

I really wanted to like this place and was hopeful considering the reviews but the barbacoa tacos and chicken tinga tacos were really disappointing. The quantity is plentiful but the flavor is terrible. The barbacoa had an overpowering flavor and for me it wasn't edible. The chicken tacos were just ok. There are so many places in this area for Mexican food and I would rather just try something new or head over to Nene's. read more

Probably some of the best food in the area. The Deli appearance might fool you but the kitchen delivers really good food. Goat tacos were divine read more

Great and great priced food, the people are so kind, and it doubles as a deli so u can grab energy drinks and chips or whatever :)

Not much to look at BUT the food is SO delicious! The sauces are amazing and made our chilaquiles and huevos so good. What's amazing to me is that on a Sunday AM the place was not full of brunch eaters. read more

I'm from California, and this place is okay, but not a real Cali burrito. The veggie burrito doesn't really have any veggies in it -- it is a bean, rice and cheese burrito with some pico de gallo. But it is good and flavorful. Wish they had black beans or pinto for a healthier, lighter substitute. Chips are super crunchy and thick -- authentic taqueria tortilla chips. Guac is okay. Their green salsa needs some work -- the flavor is almost bitter and the consistency is too watery. But it has good heat which doesn't always happen with green sauce. Place is a small deli that sells other sundries. There is limited seating and feels a little funny because you're basically eating inside a corner store amongst the aisles of food. Place seems family owned, and the counter man works really hard. read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - Veggie burrito. - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I have lived near Guadalajara De Dia 2 for 2 YEARS and somehow just found out about it a couple of months ago. I can't believe how much of my life was wasted not eating these tacos! My favorite are the carnitas tacos. The pork is seasoned well, the guacamole is great, tortillas are chewy and delicious. Also, make sure you get both the red and green sauce with them- they are both insanely delicious! The salsa verde tastes so fresh and light and really adds to the flavor of the taco. The portions here are big and the price is reasonable. Around 10 dollars for three HUGE tacos. I highly recommend if you are in the area! read more

Everything is delicious, particularly the tinga, carnitas, & al pastor, however at times the meats are extremely fatty (50/50) which makes for some unpleasant mouth feels when biting into a taco, burrito, what have you. This has been the case 3 of my last 4 visits knocking my rating down to 3 stars for a place I used to rave about. read more

I'm OBSESSED with their Chorizo Nachos it's soooo good. My roommates and I order very frequently and we have yet to find something we don't like. 5/5 I highly suggest read more

People is awesome. That have given me beers for free... I tried the costillas in salsa roja... they were soft and tasty. Molcajete is something to Share with somebody else, and to make your own tacos which was good... I liked the shirmp cocktail, and fajitas!! Don't forget to try mole... read more

The mole poblano is fucking delicious. The tacos and small dishes are solid too but I consider this place to be better for "sit down" dishes. Wash it down with a Mexican Coke with that real real cane sugar! read more

In the neighborhoods of Ridgewood and Bushwick, there is certainly no dearth of taquerias. They of course vary in quality (reliant on seemingly random factors) and are central in a debate as to which are, indeed, "the best." I can't make a claim for everyone's taste buds, as apparently I'm in the minority opinion on some of these places, but Guadalajara is easily my favorite Mexican joint in the entire area. It's also a convenient place to do some shopping for produce and Mexican groceries, if I'm inclined to do the cooking myself that night. The menu goes beyond the typical tortas, tostadas and tacos and ventures into a variety of dishes that includes soups, seafood and even breakfast (if you come early enough). Now, of course, the above-mentioned items are available, but what's nice is that there is seemingly more variety than usual. The key part to Guadalajara that sells it to me as my "favorite" has to be the taste. It's absolutely authentic Mexican cooking that isn't afraid to use seasoning and spices to ensure the flavors are all there. The guacamole, in particular, is absolutely fantastic. The portions are fairly generous and the prices are easy on the wallet; a combination that I find rarely leaves anyone irritated. West Coast pals of mine, who swear that it's impossible to find good Mexican (or Korean) food in NYC have even been satisfied with the food offerings here. And, while I'm sure they're not infallible, this at least probably means something if we think about it for a few moments. While I typically take my food from here to go, there are a few tables in the middle of this deli/restaurant where people are almost always busily eating away. With a decent selection of Mexican beers and sodas, it's also not a bad idea to take a seat and enjoy oneself every so often. While it's certainly not the finest dining experience to be had in all of Ridgewood, Guadalajara deserves some mildly enthusiastic attention, at the very least. read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

This is the cleanest grocery store that I have been to in the area. Sure, it is old and worn down, but it is still clean. They have a huge selection of drink to go along with your food purchases. The outside window has photos of the menu items, but on the inside of the building there is no menu posted. You will have to ask the girl at the counter for a handheld menu. It takes about 10-15 minutes for them to make the food fresh for you. We ordered Tostadas and a Torta today. The Toastadas are really crispy and the chorizo here is divine. The Torta has an entire layer of jalapenos on top, which burns a bit but totally worth it. I cannot wait to come back and try some more items. Especially the tacos! read more

As promised, I returned during the weekend to try more goat tacos and the birria de chivo. Unfortunately, they did not have birria late on Sunday (hence, the 5th star will have to wait until another visit). The fourth star is for the goat belly tacos AND the goat blood tacos. Yep, it turns out they make 'em both on the weekends! read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - Goat blood(!) taco - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

See all

There's plenty of good Mexican food to be had in Ridgewood, but Guadalajara De Dia is a cut above. From the street, it looks like a modest storefront, with barely any signage. But when I first stuck my head in the door -- the place was packed, there were whole families sitting at tables pushed together, everyone seemed to be having a great time, and man the portions looked hearty. It's a neighborhood hot spot for a reason. The freshness of the ingredients is clearly noticeable. Every time I've been here, the food has been prepared just right, never overcooked, and is popping with flavor. Even the side rice and beans are worth highlighting. There's nuance to all elements of a meal, from the sauces to meats/vegetables/cheeses to guacamole to anything else. Service is also fast and friendly. Vibe is very casual and chill -- order at the counter, grab a seat anywhere, get served at the table. Some Mexican grocery items in stock, too. read more

Best Mexican place in Brooklyn. Their chilaquiles remind me of the ones my mom made me growing up. Very authentic Mexican food. Their tacos are a little pricer than I'm used to but large portions. Overall delicious! read more

I walked into this restaurant and was honestly kind of sketched out. It was like a restaurant within a deli, which I have never seen before. I was literally about to walk about but decided to stay. And boy I'm so glad I did. The worker (owner?) at the friend was nice - he had me order and when I asked to pay, he told me to do so later and was like enjoy your food first! I got a quesadilla platter first with rice and beans and steak and every bite was heavenly. The steak was cooked to perfection. The rice was so soft and beans so well salted. The tortilla bread was also cooked so soft and nicely. I loved the food so much! Definitely would come back read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - a plate of mexican food - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

I crave the tacos de cecina on a daily basis. The mole chicken is SO succulent too. Wish I could say I've tried more but, seriously, I only ever want those tacos. Only minor tiff is they're sometimes inconsistent about the amount of guacamole on the tacos, which is just ultimately disappointing because it's so dang good, but this is a SOLID neighborhood choice for Mexican food. read more

Great authentic Mexican food! I usually get it to go but plenty of places to sit and friendly service while dining inside. Love the Chorizo and Eggs for breakfast on the weekend. Really good Pozole, tacos, Tortes, etc.. Fair prices and good portions. Love the chips and salsa too. This place is also a small market for hot sauce and other Mexican products for home. Long time customer. Reminds me of Mexican food from the West Coast. read more

Guantanamera, Guajira Guantanamera. Actually, Guadalajara...Guadalajara. Such tasty food! Recently ordered from here via GrubHub. Got the carne asada burrito + three tacos (pollo asada, chorizo and carne asada). Everything was great. The burrito was topped with guacamole, red and white sauce and then powdered with queso. It was chock full of beans, steak and coupled with a small salad. I could barely finish half of it. The tacos all had a good amount of filling. Three make a great meal. On the side, they gave us some spicy red and green salsa. Definitely a great place! Don't pass it up! Guadalajara! read more

Didn't expect it but, Guadalajara De Dia 2 was truly superb. They have great selection of items with reasonable prices for what u get. Really delicious and also nutritious. Not to mention, the service was great and the staff was really courteous. I enjoyed everything at Guadalajara De Dia 2. read more

Ordered delivery from grubhub bc it's odd through the yelp app. $2.50 a piece on grubhub or $7.50 for "3 pieces" on yelp, and I wanted a variety. 1 Pollo Asado $2.50 1 Al Pastor $2.50 1 Carnitas $2.50 1 Carnitas $2.50 1 Salsa $1.00 1 Salsa $1.00 All tacos come with guacamole on, but I made a note to serve guacamole and lime on the side and they honored that. I actually liked the pollo asado and carnitas best. I don't get why everyone loves the al pastor so much; the carnitas were better. The chicken in the pollo asado wasn't tender; it was actually also dry and almost crunchy, but in a nice almost smokey way. I'm glad the $1 tubs of salsa weren't too small, but I think it's a bit ridiculous that salsa isn't free. read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - $1 per salsa tub. Generous serving but find it odd that it isn't included as a condiment - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

#Okay, I've started on going through some of the soups. The Sopa de Olla (Oxtail soup) is awesome. I've been trying #Sopa de Olla at other places in Bushwick and so far, this is the best. Most tender meat. Other places, the meat is tough. The only bad side is that it takes forever to get the soup. I think I waited 40 minutes. But it was worth it. Just get a #beer or two to hold you over. read more

Excellent quality of Mexican food. Their Tinga de pollo flautas are out of this world. I've been ordering here with my boyfriend for years

TRUST me as you read this.. The food was phenomenal!!! Im mexican myself and took a chance from this place for a first time delivery and was trying to not be too judgmental.. Im glad I did!! Food was authentic as if my gramma cooked herself.. Looking to take more nights off from cooking and/or take credit as if I cooked myself.. read more

authentic Mexican spot that has some bomb a** food, I had 2 steak tacos. So much flavor and it was cooked with love you can taste abuelas blood sweat and tears lol. But the spot was chill, the girl who took my order was nice and on point. It was so good I took 2 more steak tacos to go. And I'm going back there soon. read more

Guadalajara De Dia 2 - Steak tacos - Mexican Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

Oh, my, yum. I actually look forward to doing laundry because I get to come here for a couple of tostadas during the wash cycle. It's good enough to make laundry day a celebration. This business is a small grocery with some meats and cheeses available, fresh baked items, a bit of produce, and four tables. The menu includes the basic a la carte Mexican deli items--tortas, tacos, tostadas, tamales and burritos. They also have seafood options and platters ranging from fried pork chops to poblano mole. While I have tried a variety of items--at prices that top out at $13.00, it is worth the risk--I return to the tostadas. Each tostada is $2.00 and comes with your choice of nine meats, a smear of beans, lettuce, tomato, and dairy. Peppers are available as is guacamole, though I always order mine without. Snagging a Snapple, Arizona Iced Tea, or Diet Coke, and my two tostada meal is just over $5.00. It is filling, with high quality meats and a side of spicy sauce, and I have yet to be disappointed! The cashier is also the cook and often the server. In any case, they are always friendly. read more

This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for Mexican food in Bushwick. I've only ever ordered delivery, which comes quickly and still hot. They have a huge menu full of classics, but everything I've tried has been on point. Tacos? Solid. Guac? Delicious, but a small portion. Chips? Homemade (and addictive). But my favorite? Two words: mole poblano. So much chocolate and flavor packed into this sauce that I actually had trouble sleeping after eating it for dinner (the insomnia was totally worth it). I had a huge piece of chicken smothered in the mole sauce, complete with tortillas and rice and beans. The rice and beans were a little bland, but easily fixed with salt and hot sauce. We also ordered a flan, but it didn't show up with our delivery (and we were still charged...womp). I would recommend calling ahead if you're interested in dessert. Next time, I'm going hard on tacos and trying out some of their other authentic offerings. read more

I went for the first time last week and was back again today. The staff is friendly, the prices are unbeatable, and the food... my god, the food... Even if the people here were dicks and everything cost a dollar extra I would still come back here for the food. Fresh guacamole, cilantro, onions... I mean like, the word fresh hardly does it justice. They have some serious produce connections, or else they are growing this stuff themselves. I like eating here, too. Today they were showing a campy Spanish 90's horror movie about a killer doll. Perfect ambiance. I don't speak Spanish but I didn't need to in order to appreciate the bad production value of the film (nor did I need to speak Spanish to place my order). When I finished my food I started to carry the salsa back to the counter and the lady insisted that I leave it, along with my empty plate, for them to clean up. Little gestures like that go a long way with me, and I was already sold. read more

Omg the goat tacos are so good!! But please have someone that speaks English take the orders.....this is the 3rd time you have sent the delivery guy to an imaginary address. :( poor guy. No more. read more

with all of the choices for tacos in the area, this is bar far my worst experience, and will definitely not order again, and make sure anyone I know does not order from here. The tacos were smothered with way too guacamole, which should not be on a taco. The beef was unseasoned and the chicken was very sweet, why is the chicken even sweet at all? the icing on this marginally edible cake is, instead of doing his job and walking to my door, the delivery person rang my phone over and over again. I was on a business call so I did not accept any other calls. When he finally realised he should get off his A$$ and come to the door, when I opened it, he said "what the hell man". So rude. I wish I had not been on an important call so I could have let him know that this type of attitude towards a customer is unacceptable, but I will leave it here in hopes someone who works there sees it. read more
