    Their food is well prepared and it's a tasty meal. I keep going back because I know I'll be content with each order.

    The selection is great, always look out for the daily specials, the only downside is the parking at times can be difficult.

    We visited on a Friday night, and this place made a great first impression with its lively,…read moreenergetic crowd. It was packed, and we waited about 10-15 minutes before getting the first available table outside. We started with chips and salsa, then shared a carne asada quesadilla. The chips were crisp, warm, and lightly salted, and the salsa had a bright, fresh kick with just the right amount of tang. I ordered a beef chimichanga with rice, and it was perfectly fried, golden, and satisfyingly crunchy on the outside, with a rich, savory filling inside. The portion was so generous that I had to take half of it home. The fried ice cream was a wonderful way to end the evening, with a cool, creamy center, a cinnamon-sweet flavor, and a satisfying crunchy exterior. Our wonderful waitress recommended it, and I'm so glad she did. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you are ever in the area.

My parents loved their food and I was just glad I don't have to cook or clean. After looking at the pictures I took (and posted), I realized the plates look so similar which I found humorous. We order enchiladas, tacos, salad and a chili relleno. The chips and salsa were my favorite part while my family enjoyed their food. Service was good and fast. We arrived just as they opened (11am) and we ordered and our food came out pretty quickly and the food was super fresh. The rice and beans were good but don't really need all the extra cheese on it, I'd order again but ask for no extra cheese on top (personal preference). While my parents liked it that way, myself and my kids just took it off. Taste overall was good. I'm definitely going back to try other items on the menu and not driving so I can order an adult beverage.

We ordered Shirley temples in honor of our favorite little performer. But I stuck to my favorite tacos for my entree. I got an al pastor taco and a shrimp taco with rice and beans. Everything tasted great and the service was perfect!

    Our first experience at Z South started out good...we were greeted right away and told there might…read morebe a wait for a table, but we were welcome to sit at the bar, so that's what we did. Chips and salsa were brought out right away as well as water. The chips, although greasy, were very crispy and tasty. The three flavors of salsa were a nice touch. Then we waited... Someone eventually came to take out order...didn't introduce herself, didn't ask if we had any questions about the menu/Taco Tuesday...just, "what can I get you"... We ordered the queso fundido app to start and then I ordered the fried fish taco, the shrimp taco and a side of refried beans along with a regular margarita. After taking my order, she started to walk away and then realized she hadn't taken the Hubs order...I mean, yes the restaurant was busy but wtf? The Hubs ordered the California burrito and all that was said was, "It comes with fries"... Then we waited... I noticed a lot of the patrons were regulars...having their orders taken right away, their drinks prepared right away and receiving exceptional service...while we waited. Finally, I received my margarita and then our fundido came out. The margarita was just that...a boring margarita that tasted more like a $5 happy hour margarita than the $10 margarita it was. The fundido was a huge bowl of bubbling cheese with balls of chorizo at the bottom, it was delicious...after we asked for more chips to eat it with (other restaurants usually serve tortillas with it, but, okay...) Then we waited.... My shrimp taco and side of beans arrived as did the Hubs burrito. The burrito was just a plain/dry burrito. I'm not sure why this wasn't mentioned with he ordered it and why adding toppings and/or sides was not suggested...but, okay... My shrimp taco and beans were very tasty... But wait, you exclaim...didn't you also order a fish taco? Why yes, yes I did!!! But, since NO ONE ever came to ask how or meal was or if we needed anything, it was impossible to let them know they forgot my taco. When the server saw that we were finished eating, she was quick to get out check...only then was I able to notify her of the missing taco by telling her to make sure it's not listed on check. At no point did she offer an apology, she just stated that we were not charged for it. The restaurant was busy, but not busy enough for the service to have been as bad as it was...also, there were plenty of servers in the restaurant as well as a couple of bussers and a bartender. Food: 8/10 (only because of the dry ass burrito) Drinks: 5/10 Service: 2/10 (only because of the good service we initially received)

I don't know how they make it and they won't tell me but they WILL sell it to you. I wish they had birria but birria isn't easy to find in many Mexican restaurants. I'm sure if they did have it it would be fantastic. Their pico is very watery and could use a bit of thickening but tastes ok. The kids absolutely love the rice here. The beans are good but a little bland. I had the Adobada taco which was absolutely out of this world. The red Chile spices were spot on. My lunch date had beef flautas which were delicious. I gave 4 stars simply because the green sauce is so amazing and you absolutely cannot find it anywhere else. We sat outside on the patio which was very pleasant. All the patrons at lunch were outside on the patio. The bathrooms are extremely clean although you do have to go outside the building around the back to use the restroom. That's fine because it's a lot better than having to walk through the kitchen. If you're ever in Fallbrook look this place up and try to have a meal here. Don't forget the green sauce and always ask for more!

Is it the absolute best Mexican food I've ever had? Probably not. But the food is solid, reliable, and always enjoyable, which is exactly why I keep coming back. Now, if you're a fan of drinks, music, and a festive atmosphere, this place definitely brings the party. It has that lively, colorful Mexican restaurant vibe, and I personally love that they have live music on certain days. My little one and I especially enjoy sitting outside in their enclosed patio area. It's such a nice little setup! Depending on the day and time, it can get pretty packed, but I've honestly never had a bad experience here. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is something you can count on. So no, I'm not going to crown Guadalajara the king of all Mexican food--but sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you just want good food, a fun atmosphere, some music, and a place that consistently delivers. And Guadalajara does exactly that.

I got the tamale plate which comes with generous sides of rice and beans...I would have preferred more tamale for my tamale plate. The rice was dry and gritty but paired decent with the very mushy beans. The tamale was a bit bland as well. I did enjoy the chips and freshly made salsa though that comes free with the entree. There are no single menu items like you can't order just one taco or one tamale by itself without getting a whole platter of other things. The server was friendly and didn't rush us even past 10pm.
