    Visited this spot while on vacation with my wife. Our family that resides in Tucson brought here because they come all the time. I love the entire look of the place. Gives a very authentic feeling. We had freshly made salsa and guacamole that was made tableside. We had the opportunity to have it made with the spice level of our choice. Our waiter Hermando ( I think that was his name) was amazing and so very funny (He was sarcastic and we enjoyed all of it). My wife and I ordered paella and our other family mens ordered other items such as mini chimis. Only thing is, i wish I told them no cilantro (I dislike it and it made my meal and salsa not as enjoyable). However, the flavor of the food was tasty. No complaints. All good came out nice and hot. We all ordered drinks. They had the Diablo and I had the drink found under that one on the menu. Honestly, it needed me alcohol for both drinks. They tasted like juice. We weren't pleased with them. Overall, the experience was nice and comforting. Also, thank you Manny for stopping by our table to ensure we were happy customers . I love that little touch of professionalism as a manager or owner (I'm sorry I forgot which role is your's).

    Chicken and ground beef tacos, side salad and table side salsa and guacamole.

    Delicious! I loved the table side salsa...so flavorful! I also loved the viva tepa margatini. The tacos were good and the side salad was the perfect compliment. The staff members were very attentive and helpful with drink/food recommendations. The restaurant was bright and colorful.

    Stopped here the other day and had the carne asada burrito. It wasn't that it was bad, just not near as good as what I'm used to getting from the little drive through spots. My friend got the chicken enchiladas and they looked pretty good. The prices were about right and the atmosphere was decent. I can see myself trying this again sometime and ordering something different. Definitely not gonna try their carne asada burro again. Of course it wasn't just steak inside, but beans also. Just left there disappointed.

Services were very grooming and providing salsas so yummy!!! Guadalajara Grill is a branding Mexican foods restaurant chain to provide cafe foods for Mexican cuisine!!!

    Nice stop on a bike ride. The lunch Chimi was great. The huarache was also very tasty. It had some really nice chunks of pork with green chile and chunks of red chile beef. Both had sides of rice and beans. A Modelo Negra was perfect to wash it down. Great service on the patio from Armando.

    ON HIT They hit it out the park was feeling road trip. I'm like Mexican food. I talk with my friend and said road trip. Our destination this restaurant. I did my friendly Yelp app and found this location. It did not disappoint. Fresh salsa and guacamole at the table, the house margarita. My friend ordered 2 meals chimichanga and chicken fajita (yes some is to go her daughter will help her kill it). I got the ultimate fajita all the meat and shrimp only wish more peppers and onions bean and rice. Only issue mentioned by another reviewer steak needs to be more tender but the char flavor is amazing. FLUFFY GRANDMA RECOMMENDS. Let's not forget stellar customer service!!!!

    Looking for good Mexican food at a reasonable price, this is your place while in Tucson Arizona. I ate here with a large group of 12 but we were seated quickly. The waitress was great at being patient and getting us through the menu. We had their guacamole and chips, as an appetizer, which were good. For my entree, I kept it simple by ordering a carne asada plate. The food is a Sonora Mexico style flavor. The carne asada was cooked as asked, the beans and rice were also good. The tortillas were homemade which was a plus for me. When in Tucson and want assurance that you're going to eat authentic Mexican food, stop by here.

    Time for some happy food

    If you are looking for a fun Mexican food experience, Guadalajara is one of my Tucson faves. I'm lucky to have the Prince Rd location just around the corner and it serves as a versatile eatery wether I'm looking for a quick dinner, happy hour margs with friends, or a nice festively decorated and roomy place to take a large party or out of town guests. This trip was a quick dinner and we arrived around 5pm on a Sunday, so it wasn't overly busy at all. This is a popular spot during typical dinning times though, so it can get busy enough for a waitlist (especially if you have a large party so plan accordingly). The nice thing about their Appetizers is that I can literally make a whole meal from the section so if I'm not craving a big meal I can come away just as satisfied doing apps only. Today I ordered my favorite go-tos: Manchegos - crispy mini quesadillas stuffed with buttery nutty Manchego cheese and served with sour cream and guac, the Ceviche de Cameron - a perfect blend of shrimp-y lime-y pico-y goodness and I love that they chop up the shrimp so it stays easily on the delish chips (we'll talk about those in a sec), and a Shredded Beef Hard Taco - their beef is moist and well seasoned and they don't skimp on portion sizes or toppings. And for the start of the show - the table-side hand crafted salsa and guacamole with their crispy golden tortilla chips. The friendly and totally amazing "Salseras" are dressed in traditional Mexican style and will create your salsa and guac to your specifications and ya'll the chips and salsa are worth the trip alone! Make sure to bring some cash to tip them - it's a cool addition to the overall atmosphere and is especially fun for out of town guests. All this was washed down with a House Margarita with salt and a Frozen Mango Margarita with Tajin (my all time favorite). The bartenders are generous with their pours and I always come away happy with my drinks. The staff is fantastic and super attentive, this visit we had Paloma as our server who took exceptional care of us and the Manager made rounds checking on tables. The whole place is clean, festively decorated, and just plain old fun to be in. It was super chill when we were there but when it's packed it can get noisy but the rooms are set up to help manage some of the overall volume. Great place for families, large parties, or just to meet a couple friends at the bar for drinks and apps. It's a Tucson must-visit and I'm a happy regular who doesn't mind letting others in on this fun hidden gem!

    Pork carnitas fajitas
    Jodi W.

    oh my G-d, ignore the haters. The Prince location of this restaurant is amazing. I love the fajitas. I love the table made salsa, and I love the margaritas. The bartender is on point, I usually sit at the bar. I love how they keep the ambiance of a mexican restaurant with women in traditional garb and the men wearing similar. The salsa they make can be hot if you aren't from Tucson or familiar with spicy foods. I highly recommend this location over Broadway. It's way more festive and a tv's at the bar have football.

    Queso Fundido Con Chorizo

    Tucson enchiladas are amazing! Love the red sauce. The steak fajitas were very tender. We'll be back!

    Salsa and guac - table side
    Amanda T.

    Amazing food here and authentic! Fresh salsa made table side - guac made table side. Fresh chips. So bomb. Fajitas were excellent, and the chile verde was so good (I wish it was a little spicy but that's ok). Service by Paloma was top notch. Loved the decor, made me feel like we were in Mexico. Will be back again when we are in the area.

    Paella
    Lizzy L.

    My cousins love coming here for a slightly more upscale experience and we LOVED all the food here! My favorite thing is the tableside salsa and guacamole cart with customized freshly made-to-order salsa. The guacamole does cost extra but it is so worth it. My kids enjoyed watching the staff mix everything for the salsa. We tried their seafood paella which is my cousins' all-time favorite thing to order. The rice was so fragrant and flavorful with seafood. I tried molcajete for the first time which they're famous for--molcajete is a volcanic rock bowl filled with tomato-based Spanish rice, beans, chicken, and tortillas on the side. Overall, delicious food with good portions!

The patio is quite large and dog friendly. One of the best brunch spots around- we look forward to coming back.

I wouldn't say that it is top of the line cooking, but it is very delicious and definitely worth a visit this side of town. Parking can be a little challenging, they do share a parking lot with other businesses, but close in, there are not that many spots. Service is always friendly and makes you feel comfortable. Interesting atmosphere with flamingos galore and other things decorating the inside. Gives it somewhat of a party and fun feel. Food comes out in a timely manner even when they are very busy.

(well once in taste, but I'll get to that) They have great in-house made items. Like the Challa bread, the preserves, their pesto. They most certainly know what they're doing. I had unseasoned filet mignon once, I believe it was the omelette. I talked to the manager. Now I wasnt upset, didn't send it back, I just told them what I experienced and mused that I found it odd the cook forgot a simple thing like salt. The manager acknowledged my complaint and that was all; or at least I was fine. Nope, she came back with a to-go box of croissants topped with cream and berries as an apology. They were tremendous by the way. She didn't have to do that. The ambiance is it's only weak point, but even that is minor. Simple black is fine. It's modern feeling and doesn't stand out loudly. They have outdoor seating, which early in the morning is fine, but id avoid in the summer, which will likely mean you'll be waiting, depending on the time. Oh! I forgot to mention, they have very good drinks. They really are intentional about the blend of flavors, they have a little something for everyone. All in all, I cannot recommend this place enough. It's been a shining star amongst Tucson restaurants and I am grateful they exist. Even to how they organize their menu partly by flavor profiles shows they genuinely LOVE food. I love food too, and I love here. Try this place. Today.

As a whole, I feel like the side pairing of challah toast with jam and butter is an odd choice. I also ordered the iced Thai tea, which was quite weak. Overall--I wasn't really feeling it. When you go to Teaspoon, you're really paying for ambience over quality. There's no issue with the service here, from hosts to wait staff. The food is simply underwhelming, and thus so is the experience. I wouldn't be mad to return, but I don't know if this would ever be my suggestion.

The staff also were kind enough to move one of our chairs out of the way so our dog had lots of room to lay down. Staff were all very kind and never seemed annoyed with the dog (you can always tell at a restaurant if they are, and they were very happy to accommodate him). Very dog friendly!! The food: We gotta talk about their French onion soup. It was pretty dang delicious! The broth itself is quite nice, a nice cheese portion, and the baguette was divine. I also had their French Connection sandwich (with a side of fries), and it had a great combo of ooey, gooey cheese, firm and flavorful ham, and served on a really delicious loaf. Really solid fries, too. We didn't end up getting any drinks but saw several people ordering yummy looking bites.
