The greeting, that is what could be improved. Arriving at a restaurant at dinner time is not the time to greet with "can I help you"? Not, welcome to Guadalajara or similar greeting. So, once past the bartender who looked at me like I had visited a locals only place, and the gal who sat me...everything was fine. Had the Jalisco plate, and the actual servers were very nice. read more

Great food, fantastic service, authentic New Mexican food. Originally this restaurant was located near the tracks near the over pass in Clovis. If you know you know. Food in that location was amazing. Years have passed, now I visited the new location along 21st street and Prince St. Salsa was very close to what I remember from the years previous. Food very tasty and will definitely visit again. Oh, wait staff was great and one bartender worked for her grand parents at the original location. read more

The coffee here at this restaurant Is fantastic A phenomenal stock on my trip back home Go Red Raiders!!! read more

The restaurant itself is beautiful! Very nicely decorated inside with amazing Christian centric murals and classic Mexican restaurants themes. The service itself is also fantastic and on the day I went they had a live band. I am not sure if this is normal but it definitely added to the atmosphere. The food itself was just ok and I thought a little bland and I wasn't a fan of their red and green sauces but not a bad experience overall and their chips and salsa were great. read more

Guys, it's my understanding that this restaurant had a soft opening at some point, giving way to positive reviews of their food. When my dad and I checked this place out, it was very disappointing. First off, the restaurant is located inside of what seems to be a deserted retail space with only a coffee shop besides Guadalajara. So even after reading my review if you want to check it out yourself, know where to find it....next to Big Lots. I'm giving one star for the service. Our server was attentive, as well as the rest of the staff who was very friendly and accommodating. The other star is for the calabacitas. Pretty good as a side dish, with a roasted flavor to them. That's as far as it went. I ordered the chile verde, as I was on a chile verde kick when in Clovis. I saw Bob's pic of the chile verde and it looked so delicious, I had to have it in my life. Well, I didn't get what was shown in the picture. This chile verde was more of a soup. At best, straight out of a can. There was no flavor to either the soupy broth or the dry pork meat, which was cut into teeny tiny pieces. Couldn't believe they were trying to pass this off as chile verde. Campbells soup out of a can. Also, check out the picture....the bowl it was served in was the same size as the salsa we had. Would you pay $16 for this?!?! Last meal in Clovis and upset I didn't get the chile verde I was hoping for. Dad got the combo fajitas and honestly, you could get better at Chili's. Really wanted to like this place but was left with a half-empty, disappointed belly. read more

Guadalajara Grill & Cantina - Yes ladies and gents, they called this flavorless soup chile verde. Fajitas in the back. Bland and pricey. - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

Excellent food, great service, and the live music was fantastic! Shout-out to our server, Angela, who went above and beyond! Our new favorite Mexican restaurant! read more

They recently renovated and the space is huge! Small bar area with sports on the tvs. Starting with chips and salsa- a little bland compared to other places around Clovis. I think it could use a bit more salt and some spice. Guac was also very plain. The fajitas themself were very flavorful and tasty and a nice portion with 3 corn tortillas. Overall pretty solid, just wish the chips and salsa were better. read more

I was very hungry to get me a smothered burrito by the name I thought it was a good Guadalajara like everywhere else but I left very disappointed a small plain burrito no rice no beans no pico de gallo no green chilly only beef and cheese I won't be going back ever read more

Been here twice, both times I had the Fajitas Mexican. Super good, staff is polite and always super friendly

The menu that you have on yelp for this restaurant is not what we got when we went to the restaurant. We got an enchilada that was covered in cheese and very, very dry and tacos with no sauce that was also very very dry read more

Excellent food, good service & many items within the restaurant are reminiscent of the original Guadalajara on Casillas street from my childhood. Prices are still affordable and the bar is a fun place to hang out and listen to live music when available. My fave meals are the Jalisco or a smothered burrito. Both never fail in flavor and amount of food. Mike still cooks, so you are getting the family recipes from the original Guad! read more

I ordered the Guadalajara family special by phone for pickup during Covid19. Service is polite. However, they forgot my rice and beans. The hardshell tacos remind me of the tacos Mom makes for dinner. Salsa and chips are excellent and just the perfect kick of spiciness without compromising any flavor. Sopapillas were the best I ever had. I have mixed feeling about the enchiladas. These stacked enchiladas are better and cheesier than other Clovis enchiladas but not the greatest ever. I just think I don't like the style of enchiladas I've had in New Mexico. Also, you have to pay to include meat. When I got home, I actually added some garlic salt, cumin, and cilantro. That is bad, right? The red sauce is not spicy, which I prefer. The red sauce flavor has an essence of chocolaty, mole-style red sauce without being mole. I think this is an acquired taste. I recommend the sauces on the side so you can add to your taste. I think I would have preferred green sauce but I was worried when the restaurant told me green sauce is spicier. Overall great for Clovis. I hope that Covid doesn't hit this new business too hard. I'd like to try tostadas next time. read more

Our new favorite for Mexican food in Clovis. Best calabacitas ever. Carne, enchiladas, tacos and tamales are terrific. Looking forward to our next meal there. read more

Great location, fantastic atmosphere and the food was wonderful as always. The Chile verde was my favorite. The new restaurant on 21st is opening soon. I was blessed to have been invited for a soft opening. Get ready Clovis, the Guadalajara is back. read more

The prices are great, the meal was tasty and the server was attentive. The Jalisco is my favorite meal from Guadalajara's menu, my wife favors the Casillas and they serve Pepsi products; meaning I can have a Mt. Dew with my meal (BIG Thumbs Up) . I always tast the meal as it is brought to the table first and thought that the salsa and beans could have used a little seasoning. I completely understand that seasoning is highly individual but a salt shaker or bottle of Tajin at the table (don't know if that is related to the pandemic or not) would have been much appreciated. I will DEFINITELY be goin back...probably in a few days. read more

Very good service. The food was amazing. The only bad part was how it was somewhat hard to find, because the lack of giant billboards like other restaurant. Probably one of the best restaurants I've been to. When I ordered, I was worried it wouldn't be enough to fill me, but, I was so full I couldn't even finish my plate. read more

So glad they are open again. They did not disappoint, the service was friendly, fast and food was hot and delicious.

The last thing I thought Clovis needed was another great Mexican food place, but I was wrong. This place is excellent! Wonderful chips and the salsa has lovely chunks of mild green chili for the perfect amount of spice. Prices are very reasonable and you get a sopapia for dessert with your meal. Win win win! Glad this local favorite is back. read more

Guadalajara Grill & Cantina - Nice dining space - Mexican Near Me - Clovis, New Mexico

We stopped in to Guadalajara Restaurant for what turned out to be an amazing meal in a beautiful restaurant. The service was absolutely fantastic, the food was somehow even better and the restaurant is beautifully decorated and styled. The new location used to be a religious book store, so you can expect some of those details to come through, but the layout and design of this place is so unique and overall downright gorgeous, especially compared to the boring chain restaurants. With a coffee shop right outside the door, you really can't beat the location. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I went to Guadajara Restaurant on July 28 and ordered some dessert. I left satisfied until I saw later on my account that they had not only taken out the $12 plus I had spent on my dessert, but another $46.36 which I had not spent there. I called them and they said I needed to talk to the manager, Jennifer. I believe they called her and she called me back. So when I talked to Jennifer, she first told me I had to bring her a paper bank statement. I told her I didn't have a statement, but I could show her on my phone where it was taken out of my account. She said to come in the next week when she would be at the restaurant and show her the deduction on my phone and she would give me cash. So I went on Tuesday or Wednesday after a long drive to Amarillo and her staff said that she left at 3pm and I would have to come back when she was there. I told them I work and could not come before 3pm and they said I would have to because they couldn't do anything without her presence. I became angry and walked out and to my back, they said she works on weekends and to come Saturday or Sunday. Well, I got busy that weekend and couldn't come on Saturday. I think I went in that Sunday after 3pm hoping she would be there, (I'm admittedly fuzzy on dates and times) but she was not and again her staff told me she would have to handle it and I would have to come back when she was there. So another week went by because I could not get over there during Jennifer's work hours. I was angry and I walked out on the staff twice. Finally, today I called and she was there. Yes, I was angry because they had $46.36 of mine that they did not seem to want to return to me, plus, they kept putting it back on me acting like I was lying to them and I was somehow at fault and quibbling with me about how many times I had come in person. Today, when I called, the first thing Jennifer told me was that I would have to bring a paper statement from my bank before they could reimburse me. I became upset again and told her I could not go to my bank to get a paper, and she had told me previously that I could use my phone and she would reimburse me. So finally she said if I came down there right away and showed her on my phone where it was taken out and it didn't show "pending" that she would reimburse me. I went over right away and showed her where on my account it had been taken out. Then she tells me to show her a statement. Growing more and more flustered and angry, I finally found where my statements were and clicked to access them, but they wouldn't load. So I argued with her some more and she actually denied that she had told me I had to have a paper statement. (My husband heard me arguing that point with her over the phone.) She kept telling me that she was trying to help me. She even said that her staff could have helped me without her being there and questioned whether I had actually come in. Finally, I said could you just reimburse me and get this over with and she huffed and puffed, but she gave me the cash and walked away. I never once received an apology. Instead I was treated rudely and accused of lying. I told her that I would never come back to that restaurant and I would make sure that my friends and I never met there again. She said "fine," so apparently, she doesn't mind losing customers. This little interaction of her reimbursing me took all of 4 minutes once she decided to do it. It could have been done two weeks ago if she had cared enough to let her staff know they could have reimbursed me, or had taken the time to meet with me on MY time to reimburse me for money her establishment had taken from me. It would have saved me so much anguish and besides, that is what restaurant managers who care about their customers do. She told me she has never figured out how that money was taken out of my account. There were no customer tickets rung up in error that day. She might want to investigate and find out if one of her staff is pocketing free money from her customers. At least she should stop blaming her customers for hers and her staff's incompetence. read more

Service was great! Food was also good! If I lived here I would definitely be a regular. Salsa was fresh and very tasty! Even my plain taco was really good! read more

I'd like to commend Mike and his team on their efforts to restore the Guadalajara Restaurant to its original greatness! Thank you very much for the salsa...It's delicious! The first bite took me back to the original Guadalajara when I lived in Clovis in the late 80's to mid 90's. Thanks again, and best wishes for the future! read more
