My Mom and I went to Guadalajara Restaurant to eat lunch today. This isn't the first time we ate lunch there. We have eaten at this restaurant several times, for lunch and dinner. I have to say, the service is always excellent, and of course the food is exceptional. I live in AZ where Mexican food is quite popular and this restaurant rivals the best we have in AZ. I love the fresh guacamole they prepare at your table. You can get it without jalapeños if you want. My Mom is allergic to jalapeños so we didn't have that in our guacamole. But it was still delicious. My favorite is the puerco de salsa, and my Mom is a vegetarian, so she usually gets the cheese, spinach and mushroom chimichanga. Today, she ordered the chicken burrito. She said it was excellent. We love the colorful chairs and the pictures on the wall. It is comfortable, clean and inviting. We bring some of our friends there once in a while. My friend loves this place because the portions are large, and yet so tasty! The menu is quite extensive, lots to choose from. We will continue to frequent this restaurant. It is a hidden gem in East York. Not much to look at on the outside, but plenty of parking and has a cute bar inside. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Would have liked to give a better review because it is popular with some friends. We five were crowded into a back booth, by a "waitress" (we think) who could barely speak English and didn't know the menu selections. One man's fish was overcooked. Another asked for no sour cream, but instead she had it on the other ingredients and brought extra. She never offered to refill our beverages, even though the restaurant was nearly empty. There was more, like a frequently ringing phone that never got answered. Lastly, there is a 4% upcharge for credit card use. read more

I used to eat here at least once a week. The food is good, however last couple years whatever I eat I'm having bad reactions. not sure if its msg or too much salt but I get bad heart palpitations every time. almost ended up in the hospital last night. sorry but won't be eating here again. read more

Used to love this place, not sure what happened or changed recently. Cold food, wrong food, rude staff. Will not return.

It was empty when we walked in- which should have been a huge clue to leave. The fajitas did not even come on a sizzling plate. The water was delicious. We had a take out order to place as well and left to order it somewhere else. read more

Quick stop passing through town and I was happy with the food and price. $30 with tip for 2. I would come back again if I'm passing through again. read more

We used to go here with friends and have so much fun. Now this place has horrible service, bad drinks and cold food. Servers didn't clear off dirty tables around us. Staff lacks proper training. read more

Very cool and clean restaurant. Food was yum. Love the food we order. Spices are just right.

We've been in for lunch a handful of times in the last few years. The table side guacamole is what keeps me coming back! It's very reasonably priced and so delicious. I've never had a bad meal here! read more

First time there since I'm from California I wanted to check this place. Our waiter was not very friendly very straight with no emotions, little too serious for working with people or not liking his job. Our waiter took our orders of seven people without writing anything down. To our surprise the orders were all right. The food was good but the service was not the best we kept calling our waiter to bring things but b4 we finished he walks away. I will say I gave him a double tip just to see if next time he'll recognize me and be friendlier. I will definitely try it ONE more time just bc the food was good . read more

My friend and I stopped by for lunch to get a break from work and parenting for a bit. When we were seated, a young child joined us at the table. She proceeded to drink from my friend's glass of water, take bites of chips and return them to our basket half eaten, and poke my friend repeatedly in the face. There was no parent or supervision in sight for this child. As people who work in food service we were appalled and left after five minutes of no adult interfering. Obviously it is not the child's fault, but we came in for lunch, not to offer free babysitting services to the staff. After many great prior experiences, we will definitely not be returning. read more

I've been here 2 times in the last week and it is just a terrific restaurant! I had beef fajitas and the meat was tender with onions and peppers cooked just right. My friend had chicken volcano which is chicken breast covered in onions and mushrooms and some cheese sauce. She loved it. DH had chimichangas and the beef inside them was terrific. (Of course i had to taste his food!) A few days later with another friend visiting I suggested the place. This time I had the chicken volcano dinner. I thought it was a little too salty and will ask them to go a little lighter next time, but, the chicken wAs tender and the vegetables were delicious and the Spanish rice us great too. My friend had an appetizer for dinner- chicken fajita nachos- and said it was terrific. The service is good, the people are friendly and the food is great. What's not to like??? read more

I love it here. I've had several of their lunch specials and they have all been delicious. Adult beverages are also unique and tasty. Authentic flavor and generous servings! read more

If you want authentic Mexican food, this is the place to go! Service and ambiance was great. The food was so good. I'm definitely coming back read more

My wife & I visited the Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant on Friday 5 May 2023 at 3pm.. The usual tortillia were served. However it took the waitress to long to return to take our order. The order was served by a bus boy. OUR Waitress didn't not return to check if everything was ok. Which it wasn't, I ordered three steak street tacos, Tacos were received wrap in aluminum foil stacked on top of each other, stuck together (what a mess?) Also I didn't receive my complete order? If our waitress Aidee had checked with us on a timely matter this could have been solved. I requested to talk with the manager. He never showed. Unacceptable!! The waitress did knock off $6.00 from our bill. I will had that my wife was satisficed with her meal. This was our fifth visit to this restaurant. Will I return in the future, I will have to think about it. read more

Street tacos & fresh guac do not disappoint. I'm giving 5 star to that because that's all I'll order at Mexican restaurants anyway. However, My fiancé didn't love his hard taco, burrito and enchilada -- seemed basic and sloppy. read more

An excellent Mexican Restaurant With Authentic staff Special Guacomolie cart and Preparation. All food is extremely delicious And well prepared Every item well prepared and the ice cream is fabulous. Must be tried to enjoy. read more

we have loved guadalajara, market st., york for years!!! always looked forward to going there!! but we ate there today & everything was horrible the guac was bland, the food was tasteless & the sangria/margarita tasted like watered down wine!!!! this is soooo sad--did it change hands!?!??--if so--they better get the recipes from the former owners!!!! read more

Had dinner here the other night. The staff was very nice and friendly but service was a little slow. The food, which is the most important part, was incredible. The area is flooded with generic Mexican restaurants, but this place stands out. The quality and quantity was amazing. I had a Rio Burrito, which had steak and shrimp along with fresh vegetables and it was great. Could barely eat it all. Make sure you try the banana chimichanga for dessert. I will definitely be back. read more

I ordered pozole an they brought me a small bowl half was pozole an the other half had so much lettuce no meat very disappointed

Guadalajara is our preferred Mexican restaurant in York. We're tried them all. Despite being a little weirded out by the sketchy hotel this restaurant is attached to, this is our favorite. The tableside guacamole is best when it's the older woman pushing the cart. Tonight it was a younger gentleman and while the guac was tasty, he didn't load it up with garlic powder and salt the way I like. He did add loads of cilantro that made me happy. My hubs had the Texas style fajitas and they were excellent, as usual, but I feel like they could have cooked the peppers a little longer. Two of the kids had shrimp enchiladas and all but licked their plates. Kid three had a combo and sucked everything down but the shredded lettuce. Kid 4 went rogue and had the Mexican wings app as her dinner. Our server explained that they're marinated, baked and then fried till crispy. They were served with white stuff and straight up hot sauce. They looked incredible. Service is fast and friendly. Food is tasty and priced right. I love this place. read more

First and last time here for lunch. Menu did offer lunch specials on back. I had a Taco salad, very disappointed! I guess "Mexican" salad may be different? Meat, lettuce, grated cheese & sour cream. No tomato, onion or anything. It was in a small bread bowl. Cost 7.99. Lots of Mexican staff. read more

On the search for an authentic Mexican food restaurant in York. The food was decent, but nothing worth going on about. Service was polite and fast. House margarita was a bit hard to get down. Overly sweet mix and light on tequila. My biggest complement: the table-side guacamole was amazing. My biggest complaint: a very soggy chili relleno. read more

The first time I went, we asked for hoe meat and there was nothing for hoe! My steak was fried!! The taste was horrible, it lacked salt. We wanted to give it a second chance so we went again, we thought maybe this time it would be better, big mistake!!!! I ordered shrimp a la diabla and a shrimp cocktail, both of which tasted horrible!! My husband ordered meat tacos and he almost vomited because they gave him pure bait in his meat... apart from that the service is horrible, it takes a long time!! Please if you are looking for good food and good service, do not go to this place! it is awful. It's not worth spending your money! la primera vez que fui, pedimos carne azada y de azada no tenía nada! estaba frito mi bistec!! el sabor era horrible, le faltaba sal. quisimos darle una segunda oportunidad así que volvimos a ir, pensamos qué tal vez esta vez estaría mejor, gran error !!!! pedí camarones a la diabla y un cóctel de camarones, los cuales sabían horribles !! mi esposo pidió tacos de carne y casi los vomita por que le dieron puro cebo en su carne.. aparte el servicio es horrible se tardan mucho!! por favor si estás buscando una buena comida y un buen servicio, no vallas a este lugar! es horrible. no vale la pena que gastes tu dinero! read more

Service was a little slow moving, but that did not matter at all because the food was amazing! The free dish of hot fresh chips was accompanied by cream and salsa...both delicious. Menu selection was very broad and really offered something for all tastes. They had great furniture and crazy paintings all over the place that were pretty and hilarious at the same time. I really really enjoyed my visit to Guadalajara read more

The service was super fast here when I went. I was just a bit confused because it seemed that I had 4 different servers. When you first sit down there's a kid that passes by with his cart asking if you want table side guac. Now that was delicious. My food however lacked seasoning. Just very blah. The drink was so sweet and you couldn't really taste alcohol I'm not even sure if it had alcohol in it at this point. read more

Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant - 101. Texas Fajitas - Mexican Near Me - York, Pennsylvania

My wife and I had dinner here for the first time recently. The best Authentic Mexican food in the Central PA area that we have had. The staff is so friendly. The portions are huge, tasty and FRESH made guacamole put them over the top. 100% recommend! read more

this place is awful. i'm honestly shocked by all of the positive reviews. first of all, apparently the ONLY chile rellenos they serve are BEEF... i don't even eat beef... i've never ever ever heard of vegetarian rellenos being a non-option in any Mexican restaurant that offers them. it sure would have been nice if they'd at least have let me know. but hey, that i could easily pin the blame on myself for that. i suppose i could have asked. if this were the only issue, i probably would chalk it up as such and not leave a review, but just quietly never eat there again. no... what led me to the point of leaving a review was the driest, most unseasoned,, most disgusting chicken enchilada i've ever had in my life. good God... the chicken was rubbery, not well shredded, had ZERO moisture, and both tasted and looked like it had ZERO seasoning on it. there was hardly any enchilada sauce. nothing in the enchilada but painfully, inedibly dry chicken. i can't eat this and i'm angry that money was paid for it. the first issue may have been my mistake. it's been known to happen. the second issue is not with me; it's with the overall quality of the food i received. i definitely will not be eating here again. read more

The food was delicious and the service was great! Best Mexican food I had by far! They also have great options if you are vegetarian or vegan and I found that very considerate! If I could give this place 10 stars I would! read more

Mother's Day lunch with my Mini Me Scooter and my favorite restaurant. I love tamales having said that their Spanish Rice is pretty bland. The people are always super nice. Of course I'm so stuffed I can't move. I'm thinkin my birthday is coming up. Seriously you have to give it a shot. If you don't get the guacamole made fresh table side then I can't talk to you. I had a great time. read more

In town for work from TX and this place is authentic. The street tacos seemed legit and even the steak covered in chorizo sounded amazing I couldn't decide! I went with south Cali enchiladas and they were amazing. The bacon bits were REAL bacon bits. If this place starts serving Elotes then it will be poppin. read more

Two days after our mediocre dinner the health inspector shut it down. From what I read it seems their violations have been on going for three years!! https://www.abc27.com/investigators/restaurant-report/restaurant-report-rodent-activity-moldy-cheese-greasy-drive-thru/1976633517 read more

Came in with my family due to the good reviews but was met with poor tasting food and some of the worst service I have had since moving up to PA, I do not recommend this place. read more

Ok...We have been back to Guadalajara at least 20 times since my last review...Lol. In those past experiences I have to say there hasn't been any problems. The food is spectacular! The service has become top notch. I can't seem to get enough of the carnitas street tacos. The meat is literally fork tender and I love the shaved habanero peppers on top. Don't forget to add a side of salsa picosa to put on em! Jeezus...those damn tacos are so freaking good!! Mexican food doesn't get any better than this in York. read more

Went out to get some things at Target and we decided we were hungry so we were headed to Viet Thai on New Year's Day. The place was closed so we kept driving on Market Street and this is where we ended up. The lot was semi-full which was a good sign even though the restaurant wasn't really that busy. They seated us and brought us chips with two dips -salsa and a creamy tangy vegetable dip -I guess this is for non-salsa fans. the Menu is very large and has nice layout with lots of combination and lunch options which is nice if I choose to come back for lunch sometime. We both found many things we wanted to try, but I settled on the Fajita combination which included Shrimp, Chicken AND Steak - the service was attentive and we were diving into our food in a few minutes which was great since we were hungry from walking around the store. I was very surprised at the portion size - IT Was Huge! There was maybe 3 shrimp some chicken and lots of steak and the griddle was covered with grease under the onion and pepper mixture. I enjoyed the spice level and doneness. I got the biggest coke that I have seen at a restauant -it was tasty. I think we got there at just the right time too since it started to fill up right after we were served. I was able to watch some kind of freakshow on Univision in the bar area from my seat which I am not sure added to my experience, but it was something to see. I took the majority of the dish home since it was so large, but the flavor was pretty good - I tasted the guacamole and refried beans and rice was tasty too. I would return based on the service and cleanliness of the restaurant. I enjoyed the food so I recommend Guadalajara if you are in the mood for Mexican. read more

Now that we have figured out which servers speak English and which ones do not, we have an excellent time and I am updating this to five stars. The service and the food continue to be excellent. I recommend Guadalajara in York to anyone that enjoys Mexican food. I have never been to Mexico myself but my wife and her family are both Mexican natives and they say it is very authentic. read more

Definitely was not a fan of this place. Our server came once besides bringing food. The food was pretty tasteless.. the only thing that tasted good was the guacamole & salsa. definitely wouldn't come here again. Thirsty the entire time I ate and never saw our server to get a refill... also couldn't remember what we ordered, where it went or what it was. Knocking it to one star after trying to pay... our server was terrible! He couldn't get the bill right after 4 trys!!!! read more
