Food: the carne asada plate was amazing! Enough food to share or take home for lunch the next day. Service: they are so nice here! Very quick to anticipate your needs. Ambiance: classic cantina but a more homey vibe! I always stop in every few months and really enjoy it. Lots of parking, also patio seating! read more

Fiesta Guadalajara - Mexican Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Service was friendly but our order was wrong Double bean no rice. I sent mine back, they scraped the rice off & added beans. Rice still under the condiments. I sent it back AGAIN & received only beans but the plate was not even hot enough to melt the cheese. My husband just kept his even though his order was the same. Ordered a side of grilled jalapeños & was served sliced in a bowl, not the usual grilled whole. Sent them back. Second time they were right. By this time my food was getting cold. Chips were not hot. When offered more I said yes, they were the same. Cold & greasy. The Salas has changed. It used to be spicy & thin constancy. This was thick & tasted like basic out of the jar Salas. When leaving spoke with manager/owner when asked our opinion. He replied that he was sorry & hoped we would give them another chance. Might be a while. read more

First time to Grand Junction and decided to stop on in here on a Monday evening - pretty busy - i was seated right away - seems like a family business which is nice - my server was not as familiar with menu or beer menu - surprising to me - food was very hot and reasonably good read more

We stopped in for a quick bite during our travels, and we were greeting with the warm smells of authentic Mexican food. Just as we were seated, our chips and salsa were right ahead of us. The menu had a wide variety of items to offer. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and they were eager to be of service. Everything we ordered and ate was delicious except the side salad on the chicken platter, that should have been served on a separate plate due to the platter was hot and it made the salad warm. Other than that, everything was delicious, and we would definitely come back whenever we're traveling through this area. read more

Great service. We had a group of 4 and ate several entrees. The quesadillas are huge and use 2 big tortillas. My favorite was the shrimp burrito. My friend had a beef burrito and really liked it too. Tacos are also a solid choice. No room for dessert after all of that food. read more

The service and atmosphere is very good for most customers. The food is excellent, and the prices are reasonable.

Overpriced. Bland. The best Mexican food in town and that's not saying much. I don't understand why everyone is afraid of spice and flavor around here but I am not impressed with this place. read more

Food was great. Service was friendly and fast. Atmosphere was good. It's always busy when we eat there.

January 26, 2023 Went here for my Birthday with my parents and brother and we had a great experience. We were seated right away. Warm Chips and a bowl of Salsa were on the table immediately, then we got started with some refreshing Margaritas. We also got a bowl of their "Hot" Salsa which wasn't too spicy but did the job for me. I can always tell a good Mexican restaurant by the quality of their Mole so for my entree I went for the Pollo Mole, which was great. The chicken chunks were simmered to perfection and the sauce was incredible, rich and full of flavor. I substituted the Refried Beans for a small House Salad which was crisp and fresh. The only thing really disappointing was the Rice.....rather flavorless and with the usual carrots and peas as filler. Beautiful restaurant! Great food! Large portions! Awesome service! Good prices! I will definitely be eating at Fiesta Guadalajara the next time I am in town! read more

Definitely 5 stars and would eat here again. Food came out hot, tasted great, and service was spot on. Would eat here again when we come back again. read more

Great service good bean cheese burritos and steak really nice and clean and amazing! Order the bean cheese burrito

DO NOT ORDER THE MOLE!!! I had the chicken mole enchiladas and the mole was as thin as tea, no kidding. I've never had mole so watery. I couldn't tell if my enchiladas even had any mole on it as it was like they took a tablespoon of their watery mole and pored it on the enchiladas, which the tortillas just soaked up like it was water. I asked one of the staff if their wife or mother made mole and he said his mother does. I asked him if her mole looked like their mole and he shook his head and said, "No, not at all" and then shook his head some more and walked away. read more

Fiesta Guadalajara - Can you tell the difference between real Chicken Mole Enchiladas and those served at Fiesta Guadalajara? Just a sample of their poor food. - Mexican Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

When I looked up Fiesta Guadalajara on yelp and only saw 3.5 stars I knew I had to do something about that. We live in Denver and go to grand junction often to see family. And when we do we go to Fiesta Guadalajara. So here we go! Service: great! Food: great! Drinks: great! Hospitality: great! We always have a great time here and I just wanted to set the record straight. We love Fiesta Guadalajara!! read more

The food was exceptional. I ordered a burrito deluxe and my husband ordered the number 12. When his order arrived he couldn't believe the size of the Order. He was very satisfied with his meal. He loved it. I loved my burrito and was very satisfied with my meal as well. I also enjoyed a margarita with my meal. What was more exceptional was the prompt service by the staff. This group of people are amazing at customer service and making sure that all your needs are met. I will return here again! read more

Gnarly bad. The waiters were all smiles and it was busy in there. I got the advertised special, thinking it's something they like a lot or have some following for. Hard to screw up fish tacos. Well they had old store bought fried fish like you give your 3 year old when your broke, and the fried part was so gnarly. No way to taste the fake fish in there. Starving and couldn't even eat it. For $20. The waiter did give me half price, but left feeling ill. The hostess didn't give a shit. read more

We were there March 29th 3 of us ,Our rice was hard and old,they messed up our bean and cheese burrito and when we got it back It was cold cheese not melted. I requested a taco salad no meat add rice only got beans it was very runny, the shell was gross tasted fishy and oily. Our waiter disappeared. We waited for our bill for 15 min after our meal still no waiter a man with glasses brought it all We had was a chicken quesadillia, a bean taco salad and a messed up bean burrito came to 81.00 they added tip . I still tipped 10 on top . The kicker was as we were leaving the fat guy at the register said thank you in English but told us to fuck off in Spanish and called us disgraces WE SPEAK ENGLISH AND SPANISH PANSON!! Maybe the waiters should think before they speak .I literally had to stop my son from smashing the fat guy .we are Proud Chicano natives Ute! We were raised speaking Ute,Spanish, and English. The food sucked the service blew,and the additudes were horrific ! We will NEVER GO BACK EVER.WE SUGGEST YOU FOLKS DONT EITHER. read more

I get lunch from Fiesta every other week. I LOVE their food, great chips and salsa. The luncheon specials are very reasonable price wise and HUGE portions! I usually get chicken but the steak is good too. Highly recommend trying this place. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant while actually looking for another place nearby that was just too expensive. So we stopped in and had dinner and I must say this restaurant was great. The menu is extensive and the prices very reasonable. The food was excellent and the wine pour and cadillac margarita were A+. Authentic style type of Mexican food was very delicious. and our server "Emma" was the best server we have had in years of visiting many different restaurants. I highly recommend this place. read more

After having tortilla chips chucked at us by a server too busy to stop and having waited for 30 minutes for someone to take our order, our food finally arrived. It was mediocre at best and one of the worst tamales I have ever eaten, or not eaten as the case turned out. They were apologetic when they found that we had been forgotten about, even bringing us a desert but it did little to quiet my unhappy stomach. We left with more food on our plates than in our bodies. read more

We frequent Mexican cafes and restaurants and this is a local restaurant we haven't been to since it first opened. It was kind of underwhelming the first time. I was pleasantly surprised at the flavors and quality of food. Chips and salsa were average, but fresh. We were their for lunch and they do have a separate lunch menu. Our party ordered the burrito (4) that was smothered in sauce and cheese. Another plate was the carne asada tacos (3) with comments that the corn tortillas were kind of oily (?) My husband ordered the grilled chicken salad (4) with fresh, crisp salad (probably bagged) and very flavorful marinated chicken. My plate was the enchilada (chicken, plentiful but a tad dry) and chili relleno combination plate (5). Very flavorful, smothered in a green sauce, slightly cream sauce. Nice spice although fairly mild. Loved the whole pinto beans that came with it and subbed a mixed green salad for the rice. Salad was on the separate smaller plate and pretty basic although fresh and crispy, no dressing. Service was exceptional from all staff, food fresh and hot, and serving sizes were plentiful - no skimping. I would return. read more

Alex and his crew are so good! Always enjoy the food and libations. I particularly like the Cancun platter. It is huge so share or enjoy the next day. read more

Food was excellent. Very fast service. Reasonably priced. Old style Spanish decor. A really nice place to eat.

I have a bad sprain on arm and hand so can't do my usual cooking. Talked hubby into doing Door Dash, for the first time, and from Fiesta Guadalajara. We used to enjoy meals there in the past, but haven't for a few years. I used to loved their Chicken Enchiladas Suizas. What I got last night was nothing like what I got in the past. The food last night was bad. Canned chicken. It was a big container full of disgusting canned food. I will never eat anything from them again. Door Dash worked great, however. I am impressed by their service. read more

Being from NM, I rarely go to Mexican restaurants outside of NM. But, I thought I'd give it a go. The chili was ok. Not hot. At all. The fajitas were ok. Way more veggies than meat, but tasted ok. The salsa was not hot and had ALOT of cilantro. Which I don't really like, but know some people do. The guacamole had a lot of cilantro as well. Definitely won't be my "go to" when in town, but if someone wants to go, I won't say no. read more

I ordered takeout via grubhub and the time from ordering to the delivery was very quick so that was great. I also made a note that I wanted shrimp as my protein on my taco salad and they called me to let me know it would be an up charge which I thought was nice and I agreed. I received my order and my biggest pet peeve was that the taco shell wasn't recently fried. It was cold to the touch and I've had many taco salads via delivery services and received them still warm so I know it's possible. The shrimp were undercooked and I was incredibly confused as to why there were carrots and celery in the salad? I also ordered refried beans which were severely under seasoned and had a shredded packaged cheese on top of it. Cotija would've been a better selection in my opinion. Maybe they're better in the restaurant? read more

We are new in town and were looking for a great Mexican restaurant amongst the many good places in town. The staff at Fiesta Guadalajara are excellent and provide excellent food and service at a great value. The margaritas are excellent and the menu has a diverse selection to choose from. read more

Your standard run of the mill American short order Mexican place. Prices normal, food neither bad nor great. The reason for being a 2 instead of a 3 star is that every time we order pickup from them, they forget parts of the order, so make sure to check everything before you leave the place if you are doing pickup. read more

Great place, have looking for a good Mexican restaurant here in GJ. I've found it! The best house margaritas Lunch was awesome! read more

We found this place while in town for the night and looking for a restaurant where we could bring our dog along after a long day in the car. They have an outdoor patio with about 6 tables and we were able to bring in our pup to join us for dinner. One caveat: after calling and confirming that we could bring our dog, we were told upon arrival that they have to get the consent of other customers who are dining on the patio. We got the OK, but I would have been upset if we got turned away after calling ahead first. Anyway, on to the dining. The restaurant was very slow (Sunday night), so we were seated right away and had the proper amount of attention from the waitstaff. I ordered the mole enchiladas and my wife had the carne asada tacos. Although not something we'd go out of our way for, the food was good and arrived very quickly. Overall, it was a good experience and a place we'd go back to if we had to accommodate our dog. read more

We came in for dinner last night and we're extremely disappointed with our service. The waiter (purple polo) should really look into a different career, as he could have cared less that we were there. He only came to our table three times- to take our order, take our plates, and give us our check. We had to keep asking another young lady for refills on drinks (we saw her more than our waiter and she was amazing). read more

Located on the corner of North Avenue and 7th Street, Fiesta Guadalajara is a great meeting place for lunch! Dinner is just as good too. I eat here at least once a week with the girls from the office. I enjoy the enchilada/chili relleno lunch special, which comes with beans and rice. The relleno is egg-battered instead of fried. I often prefer a fried relleno, but this is delicious. My husband loves the chicken mole enchiladas with whole beans on the side. I've also had the tacos, Fiesta enchilada, tamales, and chicken flautas. All yummy. Try the Mexican Pizza, on the appetizer menu, which is huge meal on it's own! Beef or chicken is good. The salsa and cabbage salsa sre tasty. Oh! And try the queso...deeeeelicious! The restaurant is roomy, clean, and well-lit. The timing of food coming out is great, which is why we often come for our hour work lunch. The prices good, I think, and the lunch portion big. There is a great lunch menu, and the dinner menu is pricier but also bigger servings. They also offer a daily lunch special for $5, Monday through Friday. There is a great kids menu, which has a variety of kid-friendly options. The main reason I come here is for the management. Ezekiel and Alex, who manage the restaurant, are kind and friendly. They help their service staff and also stop to shake hands with the patrons. They are superb and I feel like I've come to their house for dinner...that's how awesome they are. The servers know me and my co-workers, and are always friendly and attentive to us. read more

Fiesta Guadalajara - Mexican Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Tastes like TV dinner food. Retried beans were watery. Rice was way over cooked. Mild salsa was made when requested and they took no care. It strongly tasted like tomato paste. Not a place to return to. I said this to the manager. He didn't care. read more

New to GJ. Haven't found a Mexican restaurant that is actually worth coming back to here :( It was just Ok. I guess I'm comparing it to the few in Denver that are great. The green chile looks and tastes like it's from a jar/can. Where's the chunks of pork and chiles and flavor? Service was good. I wouldn't rush back, or ever.... read more

I really wanted to like this place... really, I did. Maybe we came at an "off" time or day for this town (Saturday night 7:00 pm)? Restaurant was pretty empty and we were seated immediately and brought cold, stale chips, salsa that was made with VERY VERY over-ripe tomatoes and some shredded cabbage that was dry and missing pickling juice. That was gratis, so okay... I can't really complain. But the overpriced entrees we ordered were mediocre, at best. For dessert we split a flan, but it was a very odd, heavily thick and chunky consistency and my teenagers wouldn't touch it after one bite. On the positive side... our server was very sweet and attentive, and we didn't have to wait very long at all for drinks or for our entrees. I had no alcohol and overall, this place (our first sit-down dinner in Grand Junction) was a sore disappointment... maybe if I'd had several margaritas first? read more

This place has great food. Mmmmm mmmmm mmmmm. We will certainly be back for more. Very positive experience. We got some food delivered (since the world is on fire and it feels safer inside)... We really can't wait til it feels safe to emerge from the bunker again and come inside the restaurant for a more immersive experience. Thank you guys for being awesome! Five stars! read more

We ate here twice as we travelled from California to Colorado Springs. My wife and I had a combination plate first time and then the taco salad. The portions on each were generous providing good value for the money. As far as taste, the taco salad had an excellent spice in the dressing which made the contents very tasty. The combination plate was okay but not great. But their salsa was excellent and spicy so I just added it over my black beans and enchilada. The service was very good. We were seated promptly and within minutes had water and chips and salsa. The margaritas were also generous and you could actually taste the Tequila instead of just the mix. The locals seem to really like this restaurant and having been there twice, we would agree. If you are traveling through Grand Junction, Fiesta Guadalajara is worth stopping at. read more
