Stopped by this spot while I charged my car. Ordered a carne asada super burrito to go...OMG...fire!!! The ladies there were all so attentive and gave me all the salsa I asked for. 2 green, 1 red, 1 red spicy and I ate the green salsa which is always my favorite! I didn't get a chance to try the others but the burrito was soooooo delish!! 1 out of 10 would highly recommend the super burrito! read more

The food is good. My favorite is anything with chorizo. Prices for plates are a bit high, but they give you so much food! It actually grosses me out that people can eat that much and clean their plates, plus eat chips and salsa! Today I ordered an a la carte chorizo super burrito and couldn't finish it. It was delicious. The tacos are bigger than street tacos elsewhere, and they come in two tortillas, so I usually separate them into two tacos each. The service is also great. Attentive wait staff. The only downside is the atmosphere. Cement floors, black vinyl table covers, industrial ceilings. But, I don't care about the surroundings as much as the food. I have loved, not just liked, everything I've tried. read more

I've been here several times and always have great service. The food is hit and miss lately. They may have a new cook. But normally, I love the breakfast burritos and taco salad, made with any choice of their meats, asada, carnitas, etc, which are all tasty on their own. Great beans and rice and I have to say I'm judgmental about that. Anyone can made a burrito, a taco and fill it, but they do a pretty good job with their sopes, rellenos and mixed plates. I'd definitely recommend lunch here!! read more

The best Mexican restaurant in town great food and staff. It's a great family owned restaurant.

Really enjoy this spot! Great food and the staff are kind! I got the 2 enchiladas plate with carne asada. I inhaled every last bit, and the beans and rice had good flavor. My kids really liked the cheese qusedilla. read more

Huge portions value for your money is there, food was delicious and customer service was great.

I come from Pacific Grove to go here no less than every two weeks and mostly weekly. I know I should try something different like the seafood platter that looks amazing, but I can not get beyond that delicious shrimp cocktail that keeps me coming back! The veggies are chopped perfectly and I love how they top it off with the avocado. The tomato sauce is really tasty and better than any other place I've had it. The chips and salsa are great too. (The bonus is being next door to Nob Hill to take home some of that special butcher blended chorizo!) read more

Found a hair in my salsa, the rice was mushy. The camarones a la Diablo should have been renamed camarones al vinagre cause all I tasted was vinegar. Shrimp was obviously twice cooked and chewy and rubbery. Never coming again. read more

We don't have a Mexican restaurant in our town so we are always looking for good Mexican when we travel. This place is very informal and we enjoyed the traditional foods we love very much. read more

We love Mexican food so we decided to try.. went a few days ago In the morning and all I can say is WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER despite everyone's reviews , waitress took long for our drinks .. we are waiting for our food ( took even longer ) we notice it was sitting there for an extra 15 minutes because the waitress is hugging one of the cooks .... We will never be back!!!!! read more

Read all the positive reviews and decided it would be a great idea to eat prior to shopping! The person in the kitchen, definitely NOT a chef, decided I was not worthy of quality food. He microwaved my enchiladas, evidenced by oily cheese that was burned to the plate and COLD over salted beans. Save your hard earned $$$$$$$$$$$$$ read more

Here for my birthday and thought we would try this place out. Service very good and the food came hot and more than what we ordered. WOW. Could not eat it all so taking food for leftovers. Great place. The inside is roomy and clean. read more

Second time having lunch here the first time I had enchiladas and the sauce was marinara sauce, super weird. Today I had a taco salad what could go wrong? Packaged lettuce (not a fan), chicken was literally ground sloppy Luke warm meat (not sure it was chicken), salsa was bland, beans were definitely canned. For $23 out the door I'd expect food cooked to order but noticed while paying the grill in the kitchen wasn't even on! Won't be returning. read more

This place has the best fish tacos in Salinas. I've tried many others in Salinas. If you like them batterd or grilled. The shrimp tacos are good as well. Lots of seating and lots of parking. The staff is great and service is fast. read more

The food is good. A little pricey for my taste. The waitress are attentive and quick. I had the fried shrimp wrapped in bacon and they were really good, crispy and it was a good potion. I've had their tacos and they are good. I forgot to take pictures. I will next time. 4 stars because it's not the best Mexican I've ever had but good enough. read more

Ordered a Chile relleno , but instead got a Chile with tomato sauce on top . Not tasteful at all , it's more of a "authentic type of stereotype restaurant with ketchup on top. Very disappointed at this location, was expecting high rating of food. Also , for anyone that has had ceviche in their entire life , knows that ceviche is not just cut up vegetables and shrimp on top.... would not recommend this place at all. read more

Great service! Fresh food! Spotless clean restaurant. Delicious food! We were on our way back home from Carmel by the Sea and decided to stop by this location for some authentic Mexican Grill. We were very pleased with the service and the food! read more

I ordered three shredded beef tacos, and when they arrived, I thought the presentation was very nice. But after one bite, I almost died! This has by far got to be the saltiest meat I have ever had in my life! I thought about pouring my glass of water all over the meat to get the salt out. Plus, the shredded beef was so saucy and goopy that the tacos fell apart in my hand. It was a corn tortilla Debacle and that's not a very pleasant experience. The cooks need to drain the beef before putting it in a hard corn tortilla shell and they need to use less salt! read more

Tasty salsa while you wait. It's a family friendly place and has clean restrooms. Staff is responsive and your food comes out hot. I try to eat here during my lunch break once per week. If you are in a hurry for tasty Mexican food, this the spot. read more

Recommend you try it once and go from there. Large portions (hungry man) standard prices ($12) plate for dinner. Good service and clean. Flavors are good not to salty. Salsa is excellent! Saturday night it was packed. Had the Chile Rellenó and my son the super burrito. Steak, rice, beans, guacamole and salsa. No cheese or sour cream for him. He loved it! He said "mom now this is a burrito!". read more

Well... I don't need to eat here again, which is a bummer. I used to love Guadalajara however the food has been on a steady decline while the prices have continued to rise. Tonight I ordered two fish tacos, my wife ordered a taco and a tamale and my 3yr old son had a kids quesadilla. Our total, $65! Ouch! The taco tortillas were rubbery and hard to bite through and seemed like they had been microwaved. The fish smelled bad, the chicken was dry and lacking flavor. Service was slow as they were busy (Saturday night) and only had two servers working the tables. Very disappointed in all aspects. Hopefully the owners can get a handle of what's going on and plug the leaks before they sink the ship read more

I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga plate which comes with a side of rice and beans. Well to my SURPRISE the entire chimichanga was stuffed with rice and beans with a sliver of beef!! I basically got a full plate of rice and beans for $16!! A total scam. a chimichanga typically doesn't have rice and beans in it, a burrito yes but not a chimichanga. I was really disappointed. honestly, if they had told me they were low on the beef, I would have ordered something else. I'm not sure that I will go back there again. there are plenty of better tasting Mexican restaurants in town that do well with their servings. read more

Great food but their salsa are outta this world. Fresh and spicy or not. You decide. But you can't go wrong with their meals. All ate great

When craving great Mexican Food, this is one of my top 2 list restaurant. Never a wait always enough seats. The waitress are very nice and attentive the food is amazing and the taste are favor just enough spice and not to salty like some Mexican places. I height recommend the wet burrito with your favor sauce red or green sauce. The chalaza are great here too! They add veggies and small amount of spice to a Mexican beers with tomato and in a nice chilled mug! read more

This is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat! Looks like there are a lot of regulars that go there (like my parents). The place overall is super casual. You walk in and seat yourself, or you can order at the counter to go. They bring out fresh chips and salsa to start- they are light and crispy. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas with red sauce and no sour cream. It was super filling and really tasty-lots of shrimp! My boyfriend got the fish tacos (fried) and the fish itself was really tasty, flaky and fresh! It came with two tacos which each had one HUGE piece of fish inside. For 4 meals, 2 sodas and a beer, the bill was only $61. Not bad at all! Most meals were about $10-15 dollars depending on what it was. They had a big list of seafood options, all priced really well. Parking is a breeze. It's located right next door to Nob Hill. read more

This is a family favorite of ours. We have tried several plates such as the Mariscada, Tostada Mixta, Guadalajara Grill Combo, Carne Asada plate and super burrito. Everything has been great! Servings are very big so sharing a plate is not a problem, or be prepared to have leftovers. Service is friendly and quick and prices are very reasonable. read more

Extremely disappointing. Huevos Rancheros sauce was MARINARA sauce, Italian flavor, NOT Mexican. It wasn't bad tasting for spaghetti sauce but didn't work for Huevos Rancheros. read more

Everything here is amazing and delicious!! They are very quick when eating at the restaurant or ordering take out. I highly recommend this place and always look forward to my next meal here. read more

Guadalajara grill is a great little store front restaurant in south Salinas. Very authentic Mexican food and quick service. Nothing fancy, just an open dining area with wood tables/chairs and plastic red and white table clothes. Reminds me a lot of a place you might wander into in a tourist town in Mexico. Lunch is good, breakfast is great. Lots of locals pick up their dinner to go. read more

A great place for a to go order, a quick something to eat, or if you come with a group. It's all accommodating and very spacious. The staff is prompt and is attentive and is friendly. No matter what I have, there hasn't been a bad experience. The food not only tasty, it has spice and depth of flavor. It is not too loud, open air seating and huge beautiful windows. You can feel and see it's a family atmosphere, which is inviting and calming. read more

Guadalajara Grill - 2 Cheese enchiladas with extra cheese and an asada taco. Typically the red sauce is bland and flavorless, not this time. - Mexican Near Me - Salinas, California

I love the fish tacos here--grilled sea bass instead of greasy rockfish like a lot of other places. They also accommodate dietary restrictions, which I totally appreciate. I'll be back! read more

This place has a family feel to it. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a big menu that can accommodate even the pickiest eater. Good portions and the food is great. I appreciate that they recognize me when I walk in and know already what I like to drink and confirm my usual. The food is not only flavorful. They have an option for the people who cant handle spicy foods. A great and accommodating for just one person or a group that walks in. Their attention to detail is not only refreshing? It makes you want to come back. You can tell they take pride in their service, the food, and the atmosphere. I bring my friends and family every opportunity.

I can be very picky when it comes to food, and this place hits the spot. So far I've gotten the chili rellenos plate twice, chicken milinase, and bites from my partners delicious chicken burrito. I hope this business does very well for themselves. Muchos gracias! read more

The food tastes good, the nacho cheese sauce used is delicious!! I prefer nacho cheese sauce over shredded cheese. I deducted 2 stars because I think it is too expensive still, the carne asada has a lot of fatty pieces which I had to remove but kept still biting into hidden pieces (made me gag) and I would rather have the jalapeño sliced up versus large pieces out of a can. read more

Our server ( Juanita) was outstanding. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. And the price was just right. read more

Tasteless burrito. And the cook in the back complained in Spanish loudly about something personal, using foul language. He didn't even care to notice that kids were in the restaurant. read more
