Stopped in here for a snack after hiking and split a Guadalajara Plate. The waiter is from Texas…read morelike us and we had a fun chat. The place is spacious and clean. The tamale and taquitos stole the show on the plate. We could just eat tamales if we went back. I would have liked a bit more salt on my chips but that is personal taste. If you are someone like me who has the gene against cilantro, it is NOT a heavy cilantro place. Overall, we can't find fault with this restaurant.

Taqueria Guadalajara has a bit of a tucked away location just on the outskirts of Winchester,…read morewhich gives it that standalone, local spot feel. While having its own building is a plus, parking can quickly become a headache during busy hours, so timing your visit makes a difference. Walking in, there wasn't a host present, which made the entrance feel a little unorganized at first. However, a server quickly stepped in and pointed us in the right direction. From there, the experience improved the service was genuinely friendly and attentive, which helped set a positive tone for the meal. The burrito was the highlight. It came out well prepared with solid flavor throughout, even though it didn't include any sides. Normally, that might feel like something is missing, but the taste was good enough to carry the dish on its own. Pricing leans a bit on the higher side, which is something to keep in mind, especially given the lack of extras. Overall, Taqueria Guadalajara delivers where it matters most good flavor and friendly service even if it has a few logistical hiccups like parking and the initial lack of greeting. It's the kind of place that leaves you debating between a 4 and a 5, but the quality of the food ultimately pushes it into 5-star territory

Returned for the first time in a while, and it was the most crowded I've ever seen the place…read more Strongly recommend they consider some pads on the ceiling to absorb the sound, or maybe a carpet, but our table of three was shouting to hear each other on a Tuesday night. Salsa continues to be delicious (albeit punishing the next day), and of my three tacos, carnitas was the only one to write home about. Pescado was fishy (not in the good way), and the al pastor was, again, just okay. Pointed out my chipped water glass to the server, who was apologetic and promptly replaced it. Best tacos in the area continue to be Los Altos de Jalisco in Winchester. I said what I said.

We had not been to El Rancho for a couple, due to poor service and mediocre food at our last visit…read more We were in town and decided to give them another try. We were seated quickly and our drink orders taken. Tonya our server & cook was very geacious. She informed us the cook had to leave so she would be cooking and she was not sure how the food would turn out. Well, the chimichanga was cooked perfectly and tasted great. We spent 20 minutes talking to her after we finished our meal. The seating is typical tables and booths and they had music playing softly. Overall, a very pleasant dining experience. We will definitely return.

The entrees are served without beans and rice but that was ok. But they charged $7 for extra chips and salsa. So it was bland stale and expensive. Unforgivable. Then they refused my Amex card.

It took 30 minutes for our food to arrive after ordering, which was inconvenient since we were trying to get back to work in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the chimichanga lunch special, which was delicious and the perfect portion for lunch. The chimichanga itself had a crispy exterior with moist and tender meat inside. The sides of rice and veggies complimented the dish well. Our server was friendly and was willing to split the check 5 ways, which we appreciated. The restaurant was decorated with some fun neon signs and interesting art and light fixtures. It definitely made for a pleasant environment. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant if you are looking for quality Mexican food in this area. Just be prepared to wait a bit in case the service is slow like it was for us.

This visit was very enjoyable. I had the chimichangas with a side of rice. The rice is much better…read morewhen ordered as a side. The chimis were delicious, slightly crispy on the outside and mouth-watering delicious on the inside. I like that they put all the toppings on the side rather than pile it on the chimi. The chips were fresh. The only "complaint" is the salsa is like water. (Maybe check out BDUBS salsa). Service was very good today. I think maybe he read my previous review and made more of an effort to be pleasant. The seats are in need of replacing. Many have huge tears (see photo) or just plain worn out. The front, entry, door needs to be replaced with something more inviting. I look for a buzzer or sliding window to give the password each time I visit.

It was the typical lackluster Taco Bell kind of American/Mexican food, and I was hoping for more. For those who don't know what I'm talking about, I encourage you to try more Mexican restaurants. You may discover one with flavorful, exquisite, magnificent food and think 'Wow, I didn't know Mexican food could taste this good.' To be kind, I'm giving a rating of "OKAY."
