The waitress was great and doing the best she could with what looked like very little help, so no complaints there. But there were only about six tables occupied, and somehow everyone got seated in the same room shoulder to shoulder. Between screaming kids and teenagers trying to out volume each other, it felt less like lunch and more like a middle school cafeteria reunion. I genuinely don't understand why restaurants do this when the rest of the place is empty. Food was okay, just pretty bland overall. Not terrible, but definitely not memorable either. read more

Waitress was amazing and helpful. They were very sweet for my dad's birthday and sang & gave a free dessert. Food was very yummy. Liked the two salsas as well. read more

Guadalajara in Spearfish, SD, is an easy choice if you're craving Mexican food. The service is always friendly and welcoming, which makes for a great dining experience. The food is delicious, with all the classic Mexican dishes you'd hope for. Chips and salsa are great, and endless!

Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant - Pollo Con Crema double rice. - Mexican Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

Very busy restaurant in Spearfish South Dakota. I'm pretty sure its the only Mexican eatery in this part of town. I've lived in Guadalajara and this is not authentic to the country of Mexico. But it was decent for where its located. Dined with my cousins and sister for my cousins birthday. The homemade salsa and chips were super tasty. I ordered the chicken taquitos with rice and beans. Ill say the beans were the best. Rice undercooked and taquitos kind of burned. Service was great for such a busy establishment on a Friday night. We all had a great time. Very pretty inside. read more

To be honest, they have good food, but I don't know that it's the best I've tried and the best quality. But... I can give a 5 star on their price and the amount of food they give on a plate. First of all when you arrive, they give you a big dish of nachos and various salsas to dip. When the nachos come out hot, it's delicious. It's quite addicting too - I ate so much of it that they offered us another serving of it. My friends and I decided to share family-style. We ordered 1 Puerto Vellarta Platter and 1 Fajita Supremas. Let me tell you, the portions are huge for both of them! We used the ingredients to make ourselves tacos with the corn tortilla they gave us on the side. It was good and super filling. It's a good balance of veggie/carb/protein. We all had our fair share of the platters and we were all super full by the end. Overall, the service is great. The store is well decorated. The portions are large. The prices are fair. So, I would recommend this restaurant if you are super hungry, craving Mexican food or just want to try a new spot in town. read more

This is my uncles favorite Mexican restaurant so when I was in town recently, I knew we had to try it out. The staff was so nice and welcoming and we had a big table to spread out on. They brought out chips and a few different dips to enjoy and I definitely had my fair share of those. The main portions were large and flavorful, I couldn't even finish my plate but it was delicious! Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Spearfish, South Dakota

We met some local friends here for dinner. They highly recommended Guadalajara. We were seated and had chips and salsa ready for us. We ordered and I had the shredded beef burritos. My wife ordered Combo #9. We are from Colorado so good green chile would be hard to find this far north. But it was good. Not nearly enough heat in the green chile but it was very tasty. The decor is your typical Mexican restaurant. My wife had a margarita and thought it was very good and well made. I would not hesitate to go here again. I think on our visit that this place and the food and service was better than the rating indicates. I would recommend this place if you in the mood for Mexican food. read more

Our waitress took an order for 9 people and never wrote a thing down. Total memory, and everything came out perfectly.

Didn't want to eat at fast food chains. Decided to try this spot since every where else was closed. Huge portions and delish!! It was busy when we were there but worth the wait. read more

We stopped for lunch while passing through on the Interstate. Very festive interior, friendly staff. We were a bit disappointed with the tostada...like it was just thrown together and not with a lot of ingredients. I know it was a lunch menu, but really a small tostada for the $8.99. The chili relleno was pretty good. Sometimes, ordering off the "quick" lunch menu in such restaurants you get a lesser meal, so just beware. We're both vegetarians, so perhaps the meat dishes are more satisfying? Otherwise, it's a one off ethnic restaurant in the area if you are looking for Mexican food. read more

This place was surprisingly solid for a random Mexican restaurant in the Midwest. The staff were friendly, food was pretty good, the drinks could use a little pizzazz. Not a bad experience at all. I would happily come again. read more

This place need a deep cleaning! Server was friendly. But the ick factor on cleanliness. Food was warm. Not bad, not good either.

Guadalajara (note proper name) in Spearfish is wonderful. Great food, fast and friendly service. Such hard workers! We love it.

A classic place if you are craving Mexican food. Classic bright color decor and wooden seats. The food was fine and it was what I expected. The flies were pretty annoying though, maybe try going in the winter. I come from areas where you can get real Mexican food, but this place delivers a sufficient experience for SD. read more

The absolute BEST service we have had in Deadwood. Jorge, our excellent server, went above and beyond and made our dinning experience perfect. The food was delicious and speedy. The chips and salsa were perfectly seasoned and complimentary. The drinks were ice cold and served quick. I would most definitely recommend to anyone looking for a tasty Mexican meal while in Deadwood or the surrounding area. read more

Dinner and drinks at Guad's - always a supreme experience!!! There's so much to choose from and it's all tasty! And the ambience and service keep those in the know coming back over and over again!!! read more

Sorry guys. I love mom and pop restaurants and always try to stick to those when I travel, but this was not authentic Mexican food! Chile relleno is a fire roasted Anaheim or poblano pepper stuffed with cheese and then dipped in egg whites whipped to an almost merengue and then browned. It is then topped with ranchero sauce. It is then served with tortillas. I have eaten Chile rellenos at literally hundreds of Mexican restaurants, as it is my favorite dish and I travel for work. I also live in Texas so I know Mexican food. It has NEVER been like an enchilada! To me, that was just a cop out because it made it easy and most people don't know that it is not correct. Place was cute and service was good. read more

The vegetarian fajitas and vegetable quesadillas I ordered were terrible. I've had some of the best Mexican food, so trust me on this.

Reliable food, good service and feels like a Mexican restaurant. It's a regular for us since it opened.

I felt welcomed and at home. Best Mexican dish ever, from all my travels. Definitely will recommend it. The atmosphere was awesome. read more

Not at all satisified on Friday around 4:45 PM. Chairs at the table had food debris on them. One glass had sticky substance on outer glass. Service was slow to take our drink and food order. Waitress took orders at 2 -3 tables at once and did not write down orders. Came back to ask us about one item. Write down the orders! Food was deleivered without our drink order (one tea and one beer). I guess waitress forgot that part? Different person delivering the food went to get our drink order. The chips were good, but the top half was complete chips and bottom half small pieces of chips - too small to even dip. The 2 salsas were good. The plates were very hot (a good thing), but the beans only luke warm. The rice seemed over cooked and a bit crunchy. The Veggie enchiladas were prettry bad. Huge pieces of brocoli and cauliflower, and a few slices of carrots. Soggy tortilla wrapped around with some stringy chesse inside. Worst enchiladas I have ever had. Wifes spinach enchiladas were acceptable - neither great nor bad. The waitess never came back to check on us, and brought the check after we pushed our plates aside (ate about half). Never asked us how the meal was. I normally tip 20%. I tipped about 13% here as service was not good. One and done for us. read more

It's okay, but not nearly what it used to be. I usually order the carne asada at Mexican restaurants, but not here anymore - it always comes way over-cooked and dried out (like leather). Taco dinner is good read more

Nice ambiance, Mexican decor, friendly relaxed good service. Great chili relleno. Only negative is no craft beer on tap, only bottled domestic & Mexican beer. Margarita weak, table salt used. We weren't happy with bar selections. read more

We are from Southern California originally, so very snobby about Mexican food. This place is so good we ate there both nights we were in town. From the first taste of both the house salsa and hot salsa, we were optimistic. Shredded beef "picadillo" tacos outshined my cheese enchilada, so I had a combo plate of them on our second night. Husband's pork burrito on first night and his combo fajitas tonight we're both on point. Beans and rice, Delicious. Cadillac margaritas, great! Service was attentive and quick both nights even though it was busy. Try this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is great- just go there. The decor is worth the trip alone. It's family run, they are the absolute nicest folk and the food was fantastic. I really don't get some of the poor reviews because we experienced absolutely none of what they complained about. The burritos are massive and the fajitas were great too. Just go there and enjoy yourself. read more

6/11/2023 Good Mexican food and decor. Service was courteous but slow. Hot chips and choice of salsas was a great start to dinner. Margaritas were tasty. We paid the waitress and waited and waited for our change ($50+), finally had to track down another waitress to get the change. Okay, slightly above average Mexican restaurant. read more

Welp had hoped for the best after reading the great reviews that said ignore the bad reviews. I have now been seated here for one hour at my table and have not eaten! Have been told by 3 people for the last 20 minutes... "your food is coming". Got up to check on it. Sorry. It's coming. 3 tables that were seated after us have eaten! Ambiance was great, margaritas were good. Yes they were busy but having to wait this long for food is unacceptable! Food finally came, "sorry oven isn't working well". Food was lukewarm. Glad I don't leave in this town with only limited Mexican food options! read more

The food was very good and reasonably priced. The Chile Colorado had quality beef. It has a festive decor. It's a family owned business and the staff was helpful and friendly. The parking lot was full and they were very busy however we were seated and served pretty quickly. It was a pleasant experience. read more

Nice place with friendly staff. Prices are reasonable. Some interesting items on the menu. I tried the molcajete soup and liked it. My wife had a shredded chicken burrito and she said the chicken and cheese sauce were very good. Ample portions. Fun atmosphere. It's easy to find and though out from the main part of town, it was handy for us just off the highway a bit. read more

If I could give 8 stars I would! We all commented on how impressed we were with the efficiency, service, taste, portions and price! Guadalajara in Spearfish is doing it right! Here is my experience: We visited Guadalajara's this week while passing through Spearfish on vacation. It was Sunday night,6:30 PM and a full parking lot. To my surprise, there was no "wait list" and we were seated within 5 minutes. Drinks, multiple baskets of chips and plenty of salsa for all arrived Lickety split. Betty, our server, was phenomenal. I'm trying to teach my little girls to order for themselves...which tends to be a time-consuming order-taking process. I cannot speak highly enough to how patient, kind, and cute she was with my children. Food arriving took no longer than a potty visit with my daughter to their clean restroom. Upon returning, the table had been filled with hot meals (3 kids meals and 4 adult meals) The portions were LARGE...yet so delicious, we darn near licked our plates clean. I probably could have eaten a kid's meal and had plenty according to its portions. I was expecting to pay about $65-$70plus tip for the meals BUT was blown away at our bill. There were few specials going on and our bill ended up being $20 less than we expected!! AND we paid significantly less than the fast food restaurant we ate at the night before. Thank you for leaving such a positive taste in our mouths with this visit (pun intended) read more
