The Guadalajara Grill is my new favorite for Mexican food in Sierra Vista. The Birria tacos & Carnitas are outstanding. Their table side salsa and guacamole prep is a nice touch and tasted great too. Nehemiah is an exceptional server. He's very attentive, informative, and pleasant. read more

The seafood platter was excellent except for the rice. The rice wasn't fully cooked like they added new uncooked rice to cooked rice. I think it's given me a bit of a tummy ache. Still would try it again. The prices online are different than in the restaurant. :( We arrived early for 4:45 reservation, the service was very very slow. read more

No wait to sit down. The decor and atmosphere were beautiful and very much appreciated. Our hostess and server were friendly and helpful. Not every person who came to our table spoke perfect English but we didn't mind. It is a Mexican restaurant after all. read more

We were down in SV and decided to have some Mexican food for lunch. We have been to Guadalajara's in Tucson and enjoyed it so popped in here. I heard someone tell the table next to us there only been open 7 or so months. We love the table side salsa they do, it was super spicy and tasty. My husband had the ultimate molcajete and I did the spicy shrimp. Both were flavorful and good. We ordered off the dinner menu but they had a nice lunch menu with smaller portions/prices. Staff were really nice and provided great service. read more

Very clean and neat. This is the first place I've been too that can make you salsa and guacamole right in front of you, which tastes amazing and so freshly good. I had the carne asada quesida it wasn't too bad. But I would come back and try something else, so I can get more fresh made salsa. the staff is really nice and helpful. read more

Love going to Guadalajara for their Pozole it's so good . This morning I woke up with wanting some. So here we are . We were seated right away. I ordered the pozole and my hubby wanted to try their menudo blanco . Love the way they Make the fresh salsa in front of you. Everything was good. My hubby said the menudo Blanco was okay and wish they had the red which has more flavor.

I waited almost two months before trying this place as I wanted the staff to work out the kinks. I think they have by now. I've eaten at two other locations in Tucson and can recommend this place. I was done with local shopping and was hungry. It was Friday at 5pm, when diners start going out. I knew it would be busy just by looking at the crowded parking lot. I walked in and immediately recognized the decor from the Tucson locations: bright, vibrant colors on the walls, booth seats and a salsa lady who comes by every table to customize the salsa. I've had the chicken mole in Tucson and wanted to try something else. I was sola so I sat at the horseshoe bar, across from three very happy (and loud) young men I can only describe as Tres Borrachos. They gave my very efficient server a run for the money and she never lost her cool. I settled for a chicken burro with rice and beans ($18.99) and water to drink. I had asked for enchilada sauce on the side. The only glitch during my visit was that I had to ask for chips and salsa. Everyone around me, even at the bar, had bowls of chips. My server had to let the salsa lady know I was waiting and she promptly came by. The salsa and chips are excellent here, just like in Tucson. I asked for mild and I got a custom-made portion. Unfortunately the chips and salsa came just a few minutes before my meal. It was now 5:40pm and the place was getting loud and busy. The Tres Borrachos were now even happier and louder. One of the men was celebrating a birthday. Two more tables were having birthdays and staff came by those table for a personal serenade. I must say that by now the restaurant was in full Friday night vibe: loud and busy and staff was hustling. My meal was good, but I didn't care for the enchilada sauce. It had too much habanero in it. My server was very busy and I didn't want to ask for more water so I ate slowly. I ended up leaving my credit card behind and had to come back for it. Luckily I was right across the street at Fry's Food when I noticed my error. My server recognized me right away and I got my credit card back. By now it was 6:30pm and the place was packed! read more

We were excited for a new mexican restaurant in town and decided to go to Guadalajara instead of Taco Giro (my favorite). Being a vegetarian both restaurants have options and the Impossible Tacos at Guadalajara are fantastic. Our first visit had us fall in love with the salsa made in front of you. The second visit..salsa was just okay. Took an out of town visitor there last night. There were four of us. I had the impossible tacos. Asked for ala carte. Got beans and rice anyway and charged for same. My husband asked for onions on his food. Didnt' get onions. My keto family (2 people) asked for no beans and no rice. Got their food with beans and rice. In summary, not one order out of 4 was right. Very very disappointed. Once a restaurant has disappointed me two times in a row, I will not go back and none of my family will either. I will be talking to the manager. Back to Taco Giro next time and from now on. I don't recall ever being disappointed with their food or service. read more

BLUF - A great new restaurant with the potential to become a staple in the community due to its ability to accommodate large groups and intimate nights out. Service 5/5 - The service was very good. Our waitress Brittany (sorry if I misspelled) knew the menu and did a great job asking us questions and then recommended what we might consider rather than a full blown meal. It is a small thing, but the fact she didn't push anything and we left satisfied means we will return because we didn't have several "to-go" dishes. She was friendly, attentive, and seemed to show up just at the right time, (and didn't ask how our food was with our mouths full, a pet peeve of mine). Personality 5/5 - The restaurant is definitely unique to anything else in town. The decor was an eclectic mix between a (what we think of) Mexican Cantina, and an art studio. The light fixtures were neat, and a lot of the art on the walls and ceilings was very interesting. (Hopefully I can get back there and take pictures). The music was great, I have spent lots of time in Central and South America, and the music was a mix of styles from different countries, not just Mariachi and Tejano. Nothing against those styles, but the variety was neat. I didn't realize there was another location, but the theme was definitely not a cliche. Quality 4/5 - There is an extensive menu here, so I can't say everything was excellent we only had three things. They make salsa to order at your table, which is great, you know there aren't any funny chemicals going on when they have all the produce right in front of you. They also will adjust if you think it is too mild or too spicy. We had the medium and it was just right. We also had the mussels and sauce, as well as the chicharrons. They were all very tasty, my only comment would be that a few things seemed a little under-seasoned, not necessarily spice wise but just acid, salt, and pepper. It could also just be my taste. Recommendation 5/5 - I highly recommend this place, it is unique enough, but familiar enough to deserve a try. They have plenty of "platos tipicos", some unexpected ones, and some vegetarian options if that is your thing. They also seem set up to entertain large groups of people if needed, so give them a shot. We will be back a few more times, I have to try some of the classics, which I am sure will be great. read more

After a long, hot day of sightseeing in Tombstone, my family and I were exhausted and looking for a place that could handle a tired group of four--and Guadalajara's absolutely spoiled us. We arrived for a late lunch/early dinner and the service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made sure we never felt rushed. We hit the jackpot with the Happy Hour--half-off house margaritas that really packed a punch (I had two!). For dinner, I had the three-enchilada platter (chicken, beef, and pork) and every bite was excellent. It's rare to find a place where everyone in the family--parents and adult siblings included--leaves completely happy. High-quality food and even better service. We'll be back! read more

Honest opinion. Week two. Pros. 1) Our server was Ms Sadie. If you've eaten at Landmark Cafe. You know her. She's a doll. 2) the decor is fun... lively. (Except for one sign I read!) Semi-Pro. Food was hot and fresh. Good sizes for rice and partially for quesqbirria. (Takomahi wins this!!) Cons. They still have a lot to figure out. 1) signage. Nothing says more than a sign that say "pinche way" to a bunch of gringos. Look it up and you tell me. 2) the manager pounding his hammer for a good 30 minutes at the bar with a crowded restaurant. That's screams professional. 3) the free chips and salsa ... lady? Only one for the entire restaurant? The woman looked at us three times and skipped us three times. Talk about drive by with her cart! 4) the hostess... assistant manager? Was running around trying to fill in so many gaps... from unclean tables to not knowing what tables were ready. Give it time SV. They invested good $$ here, let's not scare them off. read more

Honestly the worst Mexican food I've ever had. Our server was super sweet however the food literally had no flavor and was just nasty. Tell me why I ordered a chicken enchilada with green sauce and the sauce has big chunks of chicken on top that was basically mushy. Never coming back don't waste Ur money. read more

The service was the best thing about this restaurant. The food was mediocre at best. Not one thing we ordered was worthy of a mention. We waited till now to try this place out as they seemed so busy but I have a hard time seeing the attraction to the food. We won't be back. read more

The positives: The salsa and the drinks were fantastic. Would definitely go back if that's all I was having. Service was pretty good considering the previous reviews I've read. The negatives: The food. It's terrible. This is the second time I've gone in and nothing we've tried is any good. Even our server warned us about certain dishes based on who was cooking that night. Overly salty. Lacking flavor. Overcooked. It's like elementary school cafeteria food. The prices are absolutely outrageous for the quality of food they're serving. There are several other Mexican restaurants in town that offer much better food at more reasonable prices. Also the entire time we were there the kitchen staff was extremely loud and you could hear them shouting at each other in the back. Overall opinion: I'd go back for drinks and salsa, but definitely won't be ordering food from there again until they teach their kitchen staff how to cook and to provide a much better value when it comes to the prices they're charging. read more

We've been here 7 times. Food is good, service is terrible 5 out of the 7 times. Hopefully they can hire new help soon.

Manager and owners were awful. Which means miserable staff. Good was bland & have better options in the area for Mexican.

I love this place. A slice of Tucson in SV. So welcome when there are only a few nicer restaurants. Get some table side salsa (bring cash to tip!) and the potato flautas. So good! Awesome vegan and vegetarian options! Great drinks! Cute atmosphere! Friendly employees. Thanks again. read more

I went for lunch and got the buy 2 get 1 free tacos. I went with one shredded beef, one birria, and one chicken tiaga and all three were great. The beans and rice were good and flavorful too. The coolest part was the salsa cart where they make the salsa how you want it. Finally a restaurant that knows how to add some spice. The service was quick, employees were very nice and welcoming, the place looked great! read more

First time to our newest Mexican restaurant. My friend had the sea bass tacos. She said they were very good. My other friend had the shrimp quesadilla & a house margarita which was on special. I had the portobello mushroom with lobster appetizer. There was zero lobster in it, it was imitation crab pieces for $16.95. I call BS on that. I probably will not go back. Our server was nice, & very good at her job! The time it took to get our food was a while but not ridiculous. read more

I won't say that my experience here tonight sucked, because it suckity suck sucked. The place was maybe 25% full, but the (attitude-challenged) hostess said the wait for a table was 20 minutes, so we said we'd sit at the bar (3 seats full out of 14) and she said the bar wait was 10 minutes. The bartender/waitress couldn't have cared less that we were there...it took ten minutes to order a beer and another ten to order food, but only after we flagged her down to do so. Then food was ok at best...and grossly overpriced....$61 for 2 tacos, one burrito and two beers. I had shrimp tacos that disintegrated as soon as I picked them up (deconstructed tacos, perhaps). Anyway, the bottom is that this place sucks, don't waste your time or money and go on down the road to somewhere else. read more

Food was great! Before get to that though, the wait wasnt too bad, about 25 minutes but do wish they had those portable buzzer thingamajingies so you can wait in your car. We had to wait right by the entrance and it got pretty crowded at times. Once we were seated we waited a little to begin our order drinks but t we were ready by then to order appetizers and our meal. We started off with two LARGE margaritas. The prickly pear and the cucumber jalapeno and both were delicious. Not too much booze but not too much mix. Then we had the chicken mini chimis. The chicken was cooked with chorizo and super flavorful. My husband and I decided to share a fajita meal and skip on the table side guacamole because we were already full but the table side salsa was also on point. The steak fajitas were also flawless. The steak was tender and onions and red peppers tasted fresh. We couldn't even finish the meal and we took some home. They also play great music and the restaurant is beautiful decorated. Make sure to check out the white vase pieces as you walk in. Our bill was about $93 with tip but was to be expected with the large margaritas. Absolutely a must come again! read more

Not good, the 2 stars are for the waitress that gave me me a discount for the cold food. Besides the cold plate of food the beans were dry and the rice as well. also, the young lady that made the salsa brought us chips then asked if we wanted sals, we said yes please. Then she walked away. After 10 minutes or more we had to wave her down to make us salsa. She seemed to be inexperienced in salsa making; it was ok but not good. this was the third time here and each time there was something not right. We will most likely not be back unless the ratings improve. read more

I was visiting family in Sierra Vista. My family there recommended the restaurant. Was not disappointed. Good food.

My husband and I have been to Guadalajara's 3 times since they've opened and the food is always amazing. We enjoy the chips and salsa and decided the medium salsa is the one we've settled on. We've had salads that have all been delicious. The tacos, tostadas and beans and rice are also great. I recently had a blended strawberry margarita that was excellent. The service is very good and I love the ambiance. Yes, the prices are what you would pay in Tucson but the quality of food compares to the quality of food you would get there. You can't compare it to the restaurants here in Sierra Vista as it is so much better. And when you factor in the cost of driving to Tucson and back, you are actually saving money. I hope we continue to more excellent restaurants like this one and the community supports Guadalajara's. read more

I really wanted to like Guadalajara's Sierra Vista, but unfortunately, my experience was far from impressive. First off, the food was bland. I get that not every meal has to be a flavor explosion, but when you're serving Mexican food, you expect a little more excitement. The shrimp tacos, at $22 for just two, were especially underwhelming. For that price, I expected something much better. We started with the "queso fundido," which came out hard and without plates, making it difficult to share properly. This wasn't like a fondue; the congealed cheese was hard and difficult to consume. Definitely not what I expected from a dish like that. We didn't finish it. The salsa was equally bland and didn't add much to the meal. The service was a major letdown. The waiter took our order and checked on us maybe once throughout the meal. When we saw him and asked for a soda refill, it took 20-30 minutes to get it...at a cost of $4.25, that's just ridiculous. To make matters worse, the guy sitting next to us, who came in and ordered after us, received his meal, ate, and left before we even got ours. Definitely not the kind of service I expect, especially for the prices they're charging. When the waiter came back at the end with the check and asked how the meal was, I explained that it was underwhelming and mentioned that my daughter had found a hair in her taco. He offered to comp her plate, but I refused. I do this to make it clear that I'm being honest with my feedback and not just looking for a free meal. Speaking of prices, $113 before tip and $135 after tip for four people and an appetizer? That's crazy high, especially for the quality of food and service we received. In addition, each one of us left more than half of our meals uneaten. Lastly, The interior was... a strange mix of leftover Outback steakhouse with some bright colors thrown in. It didn't feel very authentic or inviting. With so many other great Mexican food options around Sierra Vista, I just don't see this place sticking around unless they make some serious improvements. Unless I hear that things have drastically changed, I'm not likely to return. read more

After becoming loyal fans of Guadalajara in Tucson--thanks to its consistently wonderful service, warm atmosphere, and reliably delicious food--we were genuinely excited to finally try the new Sierra Vista location. When it first opened about two months ago, the buzz around town was huge. People were lining up, and the wait to get in was often close to an hour. That kind of excitement usually signals a strong start and a promising future for a new restaurant. So when we decided to go on Saturday night, we expected the same energy: a full dining room, a lively atmosphere, and the kind of crowd you'd normally see during peak weekend hours in the restaurant industry. Instead, we walked in and were surprised--honestly, a little shocked--to find that there was no wait at all. The restaurant was only about a third full. For a Saturday night, that's unusual, especially for a place that opened with so much enthusiasm. The first thing that caught us off guard was the pricing. The average entrée was around $25, and several items ranged from $50 to $100. These are prices you'd expect at a fine‑dining establishment, not a casual Mexican restaurant with a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. It left us confused about what kind of dining experience the restaurant was trying to offer. If you're on a budget, sticking to drinks and appetizers might be the safest route, because the entrée prices simply don't match the environment or the level of service. Our server, Macy, was the highlight of the entire experience. She was sweet, friendly, attentive, and clearly working incredibly hard. Even though she seemed stretched thin, she never let it show in her attitude. She smiled, she hustled, and she genuinely tried to give every table the best service she could. Her work ethic was obvious. But it was also obvious that she and the staff were overwhelmed. At one point, we saw her clearing tables, so we asked where the bussers were. Her answer stunned us: "The servers are the bussers." As someone who has worked in the hospitality and restaurant industry, this is absolutely unacceptable for a Saturday night. You cannot expect servers to take orders, make drinks, and also bus tables if you want to deliver great service or turn tables quickly. It's simply not possible. From what we could see, the entire front‑of‑house staff consisted of: three servers, one Salsaette, and maybe two hosts. For a restaurant this size, on a Saturday night, this is nowhere near enough staff to maintain cleanliness, provide attentive service, or keep the dining room running smoothly. The table across from us had a family with small children. When they left--about ten minutes after we were seated--the table and the floor were a complete disaster. Not just a few crumbs or a couple of fries. It looked like an entire meal had been dropped on the floor. We sat there looking at that mess for the entire hour or more we were there. It never got cleaned up during our visit. We didn't blame Macy. She was doing everything she could. But she simply didn't have the time or support to keep up. In the ladies room, the garbage was overflowing, and there were paper towels and toilet paper scattered across the floor. This is the kind of thing you expect from a restaurant that's been open for several years and is struggling--not one that's only been open for a couple of months. Cleanliness is one of the easiest things to maintain with proper staffing, and one of the fastest ways to turn customers away when it's neglected. We waited 45 minutes for our entrées. In the restaurant industry, the standard wait time for food is typically about 20 minutes. Anything beyond that signals a breakdown in the kitchen or communication between front‑ and back‑of‑house. And it wasn't just us. As we were leaving, another customer approached the host stand and said, "I've been waiting for a simple appetizer for over a half‑hour. What's going on? I'd like to speak to the manager." That confirmed our suspicion that the delays were widespread. Sierra Vista has plenty of Mexican restaurants to choose from. If you want to stand out--especially when charging premium prices--you must invest in your staff. Dedicated bussers, bartenders, and support staff aren't optional luxuries; they're essential for creating a smooth, enjoyable dining experience. Too many businesses try to cut labor costs by stretching their employees thin. But this always backfires. Overworked staff burn out, quit, or simply can't provide the level of service customers expect. And customers notice. even if the food is good, they stop coming and revenue drops. The business suffers. "Don't jump over dollars to pick up pennies" is a phrase that comes to mind in this situation. By having servers doing everything, nothing is being done exceptionally well! We hope the Owner/Manager takes this review to heart. The staff was hard-working and friendly, but they were clearly stretched too thin. This can be fixed! read more

We visited the Tucson location and and was excited for the one in Sierra Vista, we waited until the rush died down a few weeks and we finally went. We were very, very, very disappointed in the service the taste of the food, the quality of the food. At this point, Taco Bell is better than this place. Oh and they are way overpriced. As a Sierra Vista resident for 52 years, go somewhere else. read more

HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! been here for almost 3 hours and have not gotten food we were the first ones in and the drinks were even worse

First I tried to order my food by phone but no one would answer. Then I went into the restaurant and asked why the phone wasn't answered and was told they were to busy. My $43 order was ready, I asked if they had any Salsa and was told it would cost me another $5 so then I asked if that came with any chips and was told that I would have to eat in to get chips. So then I mentioned to another associate that no one was answering the phone and she said, "we unplugged it because it was ringing too much." The menu stated that the food came with Guacamole and Sour cream which we did not get. Now I tried to call the manager and was told he was too busy. The Chimichanga wasn't fried and I had to look hard to find any meat. The Mexican rice was bland and my (Taco Plate) Taco shell was store bought and soggy. Alma Borbon Sierra Vista, AZ read more

The salsa made at the table was some of the best I've had. Fajitas were solid and the portions were gargantuan. It's a bit pricy, but given that I was able to split my food into two meals (and I'm a fatty that can eat a lot), it seemed fair. I'd recommend checking it out. read more

This is the first time I have ever had to walk out of a restaurant. The service was terrible. We were an hour in to our being there and our meal was still not ready even though a few tables that had come in after us had already been served. The waitress was rude and uncaring and said we could cancel the order if we wanted. No apology offered. The two hosts at the front desk offered conflicting options for where to be seated. A really poorly run facility. read more
