Real mexican food served! The best in North Austin.

Resturant personal is rude. I have had two orders messed up now and they refuse to take responsibility. I gave them a second chance and again messed it up and didn't make it right. When I told them I would Wright a review they said they didn't care and for me to go for it. Trust me there is way better food then this place. read more

Our first time here. Service was good, courteous and quick. The place looks authentic as it appears to be we are the only non hispanic people there. The food was bad. Mostly bland. We had Huevos Rancheros and Breakfast tacos. Bean in my tacos tastes burnt. We came here since Ken's Subs & Tacos is closed today and we didn't bring cash so we couldn't go to El Tacorrido. read more

This is my new favorite hole-in-the-wall Tex Mex diner. Big portions, cheap prices, not the best ambiance, but friendly service. This is not the place to go to impress a date or if you are trying to stay healthy or any of that sort of thing. This is the place to go if you don't mind navigating giant potholes in the parking lot to get some good carne asada and queso. Rundberg Running Man is right there, so you can give him a wave on your way out. Love that guy! read more

la comida muy rica el servicio excelente no les recomiendo los jueves está una persona animándo pero tienen la musica muy recio ay niños y grita en el micrófono muy recio eso queda para las cantinas la verdad solo eso de ahí todo excelente mi pareja y yo optamos por irnos de lo fastidioso que estaba read more

Good food and lots of it, reasonably priced, and quick and friendly service. Live music on Sunday afternoon was a tad too loud while dining, but that's the only downside on a 2nd visit. First time for my dining partner there, and she will return with other guests in the future. read more

We drove up Lamar looking for a different Mexican food place, but it turns out that it's now some kind of dollar tree or something, so we took a chance on Guadalajara. We just moved out here from California, and were looking for some authentic Mexican food, not Tex Mex. People, queso is not real Mexican food. Also, al pastor tacos should not be served in a burrito size tortilla, really. Enough snobbery. We ordered an 2 al pastor tacos, a pollo guisada torta, and a large horchata. The woman who served us was super nice and very attentive. We were not disappointed in our quest. The pastor was fresh and served on two small corn tortillas with cilantro and onions. The chicken was also very fresh and the torta bread was fluffy and delicious. We would be lying if we said it was not the best horchata we have ever had. The greatest part? We got outta there only $13.00 (after tip) lighter than when we went in. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for awesome, cheap Mexican food and speedy, friendly service. The only reason we did not give the place 5 stars was they do not serve alcohol. read more

I have never had a problem with their other location. We decided to try this location last week, everything was great. So we came today for a late lunch. We got there around 3:30 and there was a 20 min wait ( no problem). We didn't wait so long to be seated or get our order taken. About 10mins later we see our server walk out. No one came to say anything to us about the shift change. Half an hour later I decide to go ask what is going on with our order. I see other tables that have been a fraction of the time that we have been there get there food. They tell me because of the shift change it is taken a bit longer. I told them that doesn't explain how other tables that have been there for 15mins have gotten their food. Why didn't anyone tell us about the shift change? We had no drinks or chips and no one had been there to check on us. After 40 mins of waiting my parents food comes out. They keep telling me my food will be right out. It took another 10 mins. Once it did come out it was wrong. At this point I had lost my appetite. My parents asked for a Togo box and for my food to be removed since I never got it. It honestly was the most ridiculous thing to hear over and over again about the shift change cause our food to be taking so long. The management need to get there team on the same Paige like there other location. Would rather drive further than to revisit read more

Good food and service, we both ordered the plate with a fantastic crispy taco, tamale and ground beef enchilada, brought us 3 kinds of sauces for the chips and meal, nice, very nice. read more

We were craving breakfast tacos, pho, and Vietnamese sandwiches, so we were heading to our favorite spot Thahn Nhi, so we didn't want to drive south Austin then north. So we opted to go for a randomly chosen Mexican restaurant/taco stand. Just our luck, right across from Thahn Nhi was Guadalajara -- I decided we should try it, since I noticed several trucks with ladders in the truck beds. Walking in, we were surprised by the clean and open layout. Music was playing from the jukebox and a friendly waitress seated us. She brought us out warm chips. Free chips and salsa! (always a plus, especially when you get both the green and red salsa) and then we ordered our tacos. Too bad we were a few minutes shy of 11am, because 3 tacos for $2.50 before 11am! But other than that they were still $1 each. Although chorizo wasn't on the menu, Curry Lover 1 ordered a chorizo and egg and I went for the sausage and egg adding nopolitos (cactus). Looking at the rest of the menu, the food prices were pretty average Mexican restaurant prices. We'll be back another time to try more food, also the guava drink?! They were both delicious and we went happily on our way across the street for some pho. Extra stars for not being infiltrated by Austin hippies. :) read more

We ordered a late night takeout and arrived 30 minutes before the restaurant closed to pick it up. The door was locked and we had to stand out in the rain and bang on the window while the bartender and a server ignored us. Finally a manager saw us and came to the door and begrudgingly asked what we needed. Terrible service read more

Service is terrible! I invited my friend to eat here one day, it was the worst decision ever. We waited about 7 mins to be seated and no one attended us, we decided to give the staff a few more minutes and still no help, not one person acknowledge us. A Mexican couple behind us came in, were immediately acknowledge and seated. We decided to walk out and I felt so embarrassed I had to apologize to my friend. This place is a fucking joke, I bet most of the staff is illegal. Never wasting my time here again. read more

Definitely a hole in the wall, parking and traffic on 620 are a pain, but the food makes up for it. More than decent portions and pick ups are ready when promised. Just really good food at reasonable prices. read more

This is a review of today ... I haven't been here in a while but the service has changed ... I don't ask for much but I would like a refill of my beverage and chips to be replenished... I had carne guisada and it was excellent ... mariachi played and the restaurant was busy ... I live down the street and usually eat out in the area around my house .. I will definitely be back hopefully have better service next time... oh and it's Sunday and yelp says they are "closed" if I would have checked yelp first or I would have chose another restaurant.... read more

For the location and divey building, the food was better than expected. Maybe I walked in expecting rubbish and this was a nice surprise? Crunchy tacos not bad at all. Really clean establishment. read more

I had the enchiladas tejanos (think that was the name, red sauce/yellow cheese). The $5.75 lunch deal lured me in. Let's talk about what's good first: the red salsa was certainly good and the chips were fresh. They had a roasted chipotle looking salsa that was okay. They also had a green sauce (think Dona Anna if you've been to TacoDeli), but it was twangy with lime and not appealing, at least straight on a chip. The best thing these folks have going for them are the corn tortillas. They make their own and they were excellent. Their charro beans were also spectacular. So let's talk about what wasn't so good: my meal. The red sauce tasted like it was made by the gallon in a Sysco warehouse in southern California. The yellow cheese was the right density, but didn't taste all that great. Their rice was acceptable. In the end, I didn't enjoy my meal as much as I was hoping for all the highlights it had. Service was fine, and if I was closer to this place in the morning, I would bet they can make some killer breakfast tacos with those corn tortillas. read more

usually love this place. however last night changed that for me. roaches were everywhere and the service was below average. we usually sit at the bar not at a table. i guess that's why we never see the roaches. read more

Very simply, the food here was authentic and cooked perfectly! The atmosphere was very fitting and the portion sizes were more than enough! Not too pricey, and definitely will recommend to everyone! read more

Had our first and last visit last weekend. First ding: after placing our order, the food took forever to arrive. Unacceptably long. Second ding: I asked for corn tortillas but received flour. Third ding: the food was gross and we all felt quite queasy after we ate just a portion. The cheese enchiladas had very little filling and were covered in a bland, bright orange sauce (supposed to be a red sauce and it wasn't even close). The gordita was equally bland and dry, dry, dry. Only the guacamole was halfway decent. The beans were a soupy mess. My stomach still churns if I think about this meal. I enjoyed the musicians who came in and played a song. But when they finished they went from table to table for tips and then they left. We were disappointed, as we would've enjoyed more music as we waited the eons for our food. read more

Guadalajara is our favorite Sunday breakfast food establishment. Every Sunday we have breakfast/brunch here and I've never been disappointed. This last Sunday I had a combo plate with a enchilada de chile verde con pollo, gordita de barbacoa, and a tamale de chile verde con pollo. The gordita was huge and overstuffed. The enchilada was one of the best I've tasted here in Austin. It was stuffed with pollo asado. The tamale was great as well. I'm from the Western part of Texas/Eastern part of New Mexico, and I have not been able to find good Mexican food here. Taqueria more than satisfies my pallette for a Mexican cuisine. For breakfast, I usually order chilaquiles which are fried corn tortillas smothered in white cheese and chile verde. Delicious. I've also eaten the huevos a la Mexicana. Both are super great dishes. One thing I was surprized about was them having tripas. I love tripas which are intestines. They're so good when they're a little crispy. Put some salsa on there and you have yourself a fiesta. Barbacoa was filled with flavor as well. read more

Had breakfast here last Saturday morning. Was driving by and decided to give it a try, I haven't been to many authentic Mexican places in Austin. Was pleasantly surprised at their menu selection which included "aguas frescas." I tried a pineapple one, and my friend got a tamarindo, they were both delicious! As for my breakfast I got migas, which were served with refried beans and potatoes. The customer service was great, our waitress was very friendly. I was also surprised on how clean it was, since the places was busy. Overall great experience! read more

I got the carne asada tacos, the meat was tough and no flavor. I came with avocado slices, grilled peppers and onions. No worth $12 for 3 tacos. No going back. read more

Nothing fancy about this place and that's just how it should be. The focus is in the food which is super flavorful and generously portioned. The chicken enchiladas, tacos (get the corn tortillas they are superb) and torta were all scrumptious. read more

We've been going here for a few years now several times a month and have never had any complaints. The food is always very good and the wait staff friendly. The portions are generous but that usually doesn't stop us from cleaning our plates. Nothing fancy, just very good food. read more

Los Braseros - Combo plate with carne guisada and beef fajita meat - Mexican Near Me - Austin, Texas

My boyfriend and I came here on Saturday night. We had passed it a few times as went to other places on North Lamar. It was always packed, so we decided to try it out on a Saturday night. My boyfriend had the enchiladas and I had the menudo. I also ordered a tarmarindo juice. The tamarindo juice was fantastic! It tasted fresh and was not overly sweet. My menudo was really good, but it was a bit salty for my taste (NOTE: I don't put any salt on any of my dishes, so it was probably seasoned right.). The homemade tortillas made both our meals. They weren't thin and were hot and flavorful. My boyfriend loved his enchiladas. Overall, this was a great place. We'll go back. read more

Great place .Great food service is quick do not go through the drive through the wait inside is better at least when i go in the morning better place in the morning read more

I've been to Guadalajara a few times now, enough to write a 5 star review. The food definitely is amazing, especially for the prince. Every time we go here, we usually spend around $11 total. The servers are always super friendly in such a way that it makes me feel like this is a family-run business. The beef tacos are amazing and the nachos at Guadalajara are the best nachos in Austin! Top it all off with a horchata for a perfect affordable authentic Mexican meal. Yum!! read more

Awesome spot! Great food and service! Moved to the neighborhood and come here every other day. Never had a bad meal. Breakfast tacos are amazing and my best friend loves the taco salad! read more

The Door Dash my family got last night was awful. It would be exhaustive to relate which of the food items were passable or odd vs awful -- none of it was good -- so here's the showstopper. When the food arrived I was hungry so as my wife set the table I picked up one of the two containers of Charro beans. Without opening it I noticed the contents seemed watery, broth had no body at all. I proceed to open and taste and the dominant "flavor" is vinegar. I say to my wife "these beans aren't right", she asks "what do you mean" and I say "just taste and see". She says "it tastes like they used pickled jalapeno juice" and I say "but it's not spicey", to which she says "... but it's vinegar". The containers of Charro beans we paid for went straight to the trash. The rest of the food varied from odd to maybe passable if one is being charitable. Like my crispy taco, just set in the container with the enchiladas and a soggy mess when delivered. It may be if you know what they do that's okay and what to avoid maybe you can get decent food, but I'm not dropping $50 again and again to figure it out. The food I got was just awful. I don't even know how you work vinegar in any form into any pinto bean recipe. read more

This is some of the best authentic Mexican food I have found in Austin. The green salsa is so good you could put a straw in it to drink. The flavor for the fajita meat will make anyone's taste buds jump for joy. You will not be disappointed by trying this hidden gem! read more

I went here on a Tuesday night and it was pretty empty. But the food was not bad and neither are the prices I had the chicken fried chicken which was good with an iceberg lettuce salad, rice and beans. My friend had the guisado and it was good. The Chips and salsa are awesome there! The Mexican coke is expensive since you can get an agua fresca for the same price and 3 times the quantity. Sadly, the agua frescas are made from syrup and are no bueno. The servers were trying to start their closing duties two hours before closing and it was a bit hard to get their attention at times. I think the place used to be a Wendy's read more

Great food and service!! Real mex food. My burrito was full of cheese and meat. Great ambience and really friendly and helpful staff.

Super easy to order takeout although the lady spoke so fast it was hard to understand her. Don't be put off by the building's questionable appearance! The shrimp quesadilla is probably the best I've ever had. The gorditas were only okay and the torta Cubana was pretty tasty. I appreciate the bilingual to-go menu and I didn't feel completely out of place since I'm a guerita. The staff were friendly and welcoming and I look forward to having more shrimp quesadillas! read more

This is a sit-down restaurant with table service, but you can also order items for take-out at the counter. Prices are very reasonable, and of course the food is delicious, but the icing on the cake is how nice the waitstaff is to this conspicuous gringo. I also love that they are open until midnight during the week, and 1 a.m. on the weekends! read more

I've been coming here for about six months now. The service here is pretty darn good for north Austin. Very attentive waitresses, very friendly. Not all the girls speak English, but most speak a little. The food is very good, the salsa is outstanding. You can get breakfast type stuff anytime. (granted they charge a little more after like 11:00 am but you can't beat the prices even then) It's made to order and comes out pretty quick. It's not Tex-mex .. sort of an Arandas style but way better. Like the above people mentioned this place is incredibly cheap. (the prices here shows you how much you are getting ripped by other Mexican / Texmex places in town.) Many times I've eat here with my girlfriend and left spending 15-17 dollars including tip. I would recommend this place to anyone who lives near 183 / Lamar area. Let me also say that other Mexican restaurants in the area pale in comparison to this place. read more

Love everything about this place. Service has always been great and food is amazing. Fresh salsas and hand squeezed limonade. Plus their deals for breakfast are unbeatable. I always get the 3 breakfast tacos or the migas. A must try. read more
