Delicious, delicious, delicious. I got beef flautas and my husband got the enchiladas rojas (carne asada). In my opinion, everything was perfect. It was busy but not too busy. And there was only server working our side of the restaurant. But she was attentive to every table. Great job Cynthia!!! I haven't been inside the restaurant in years. And this dinner reminded me of what I was missing. For a burrito & taco's sure go to truck outside (it's still delicious). But for a fulfilling meal. Go inside, enjoy some music by a one-man mariachi who sings beautifully table side & through out the restaurant. And enjoy yourself. We weren't disappointed. And I hope you aren't either. Sorry no pictures. WE WERE too HUNGRY. read more

Came here with a group of 9, and found it to be very busy - no surprise for its location and food. They also have a dedicated food truck outside, for easy walk-up ordering if you don't want to go inside and take out or dine in. The menu is very extensive, and I even noted fried zucchini and sandwiches, so even if traditional Mexican is not on your mind, there are other options. I went for the veggie sandwich, served with crinkle fries. The sandwich was presented well, and was a nice blend of vegetables and cheese, on toasted bread. Although I didn't see it listed among the ingredients on the menu, I hit a slice or two of jalapeño, an unexpected reminder of where I was! Overall, the service was very good, and the value was good given the quality of the food. Out of the 9 of us, I was the only one leaving with a to-go box! Always a good sign. read more

Came in on a Sunday morning. I had been craving chilaquiles. With a quick yelp search I was brought here. A few options, I went with the chilaquiles carne asada, with the red sauce and a horchata. It was $22 for the chilaquiles. I'm not sure how much the horchata was since I actually didn't see the drinks on the menu. Which is actually my only gripe about this place. Only took a few minutes for my order to arrive. Everything was delicious. Fulfilling my craving to the fullest. The portion is nice too. I had enough for dinner as well. My bill was something like $30? Maybe? I can't remember. Would definitely return. read more

I drive past this place EVERY DAY on my way to work and last night I finally stopped in for take out! A little miscommunication at first with the server not allowing us to take out, but rather continue to try to seat us. But after we got through to him we walked up to the cash register to order. Got the combo fajitas and a carne asada burrito. The portions are HEFTY (in the best possible way) and they don't skimp on chips to-go. I do wish they added more 1 oz containers of salsa but that was our bad for not looking in the bag and asking for more. I also LOVED the amount of fajita veggies (some places don't serve enough IMO), but not this place!! Very convenient and will definitely be back!! read more

This review is for the food truck. They always come in clutch when it's late. My husband enjoys the carne asada burrito, I usually get tacos. I got the burrito this time and it felt a bit dry but maybe I'm used to the taco where u have the cilantro and onion and salsa you know. But overall great for that late night need. I got 7 burritos once and I asked for more salsas so that was nice. read more

Came from Fresno into Oakland to make a delivery and this place came highly recommended. I was very impressed with the food. Their customer service is pretty good, although you have to flag them down sometimes. The food was absolutely delicious! The plates are huge and the food is savory. I ended up going for a combo plate and I was not disappointed. If you're worried about the parking or "shady" area, well you'll miss out on the delicious food. read more

Guadalajara Restaurant - Look at this plate, it's huge. - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

Lunch was filling and tasty. The service was consistent and friendly. The value of the food was average but the flavors were good on my Shrimp Diabla plate. My colleague and I both opted out of ordering from the lunch menu to keep us in budget. We ordered from the main menu which most meals are $20 and up. My plate was $29 plus. The area around the restaurant is under renovation so arriving and parking is tricky. There is parking available on the side street the restaurant sits on. read more

If you are searching for a top tier Mexican restaurant then look no further! My wife and I traveled to Fruitvale Avenue in Oakland, California. This restaurant is much larger on the inside, and can seat about 75 customers or more. The wait staff were well versed in customer service and were very friendly. Now let's talk about the food; it was tasty and so delicious. But don't take my word for it, so stop by the Guadalajara Restaurant, located at 1001 Fruitvale Ave. As soon as possible, you'll be glad that you did! read more

May Guadalajara Restaurant thrive and continue to serve delicious food in the #TacoTriangle. The inside of the restaurant is spacious and brightly lit from the many windows, and FREE off street parking. What I didn't like was the mixed drinks. As a #StarBartender I didn't approve of the margaritas, too sweet and no balance which you taste in pre-mixes for margaritas. The other thing I didn't like was when the bill came it had a calculation for the estimated tip amount that included the tax. You don't tip on the tax. I wrote that on the receipt because that's how I roll. So why still 5 Stars! The service was most excellent our Waitress and Busboy attended to ALL OUR WANTS! Now the delicacies we ordered were Pescado Frito, Combo Fajitas and Chicken Quesadilla. The Pescado Frito is the best. Lightly floured and deliciousness from the head to the tail. Get the Garlic butter and Hot sauce that comes with it. I've eaten this Peacado Frito pippin hot and cold out the fridge and it's still GREAT! The Combo Fajitas were grilled with flavorful love. I've been eating them for leftovers at work and folks keep asking me where I got them from. The Chicken Quesadilla was delicious too, however my Daughter took them down the next day. We always eat Family style (We share our dishes) but each dish served could feed 2 Adults easily, 3 Adults if you not starving. I've been going to Guadalajara's Food Truck since the 2000's and love it, but the restaurant is double love! read more

Ive came here for years, never had an issue... Today I ordered it through uber eats and when I went to pick it up, my burrito was in a container. I got a super burrito and its literally all burrito in the container. Im just not satisfied because it's difficult to eat with my tortilla. I cant even pick it up because it was poorly wrapped. I would have asked for a burrito bowl... read more

For being chicken tacos food was okay. Chicken was solid, I was expecting a little more but can't go wrong with simple taco tacos. Service was friendly and great along with no wait time during the day. The area also had an indoor restaurant where you could order food as well if you don't decided to order from the truck which is a bonus! read more

I've been coming to this place for years. We usually get the Carne Asada plate which come with salad French fries with peppers, onions, bell peppers and beans and rice on the side also we get the Carne Asada wet burritos all good. Highly recommend but keep in mind it's become a little pricey. There salsas is one of the best as well. read more

First of all, I had to admit that I have only gotten tacos at the taco truck and ordered takeout for delivery so I can't really talk about the service inside the restaurant, but I will tell you that the food is top notch. As a native Californian with Hispanic heritage, and someone who has been eating a lot of Mexican food all of their life, I can tell you that this is very authentic and the real deal. If you are in the mood for classic Mexican - those big platters with generous portions, and some of the best chips and salsa to be had north of Mexico. Their mole is rich with layers of flavor- SO GOOD! The Chile Colorado is succulent and savory. Also, their tortillas are so good. The scent of the freshly steamed masa, when the foil packet is opened is like heaven. It's comforting and feels like home. I love the street tacos from the truck and I am a big fan of their chips and pico de gallo. It's hard to come by good chips and pico de gallo as simple as they seem. The pozole is divine. Everything is very fresh and high-quality! I have never been disappointed. I am always delighted, and I am going to make it a point to actually go sit down in the restaurant and eat. read more

My go-to restaurant in Fruitvale for classic Mexican faire. Always open, solid menu full of all of the usual suspects. Great pozole, nice drinks, some pretty solid chips and salsa. It's not here to blow your mind, but it delivers on consistency, and the staff is very friendly. Oh and they have a couple TVs if you wanna catch a game during your meal. read more

Good food and great service. I like their fajita plate with comes with shrimp, beef and pork with rice

If you stay in the Bay, everyone would go to this place for some good tacos. Especially for those late night cravings. If not, maybe have tried it at least once. Been here multiple times over the years, mainly for their tacos and burritos. This used to be the best taco truck in the town! The tacos are pretty tiny but they were piled with a lot of meat and everything else. Each bite into them, everything on the tacos would just fall onto your plate since there was just so much piled on. It used to be so flavorful. The tacos now are just not the same as they used to be. The tacos are now bland, while certain bites are salty. Maybe it wasn't mixed properly? For something to be bland and inconsistent, they're pretty overpriced. If you order too much, I feel they get overwhelmed and orders could get mixed up or some items would be missing. Be sure to check your order before you walk off! read more

I've been coming here since I moved to the bay six years ago. I'm glad to see they're still doing good during Covid. Since moving out of Oakland, I haven't come here much but earlier this week was an exception. I ordered the carne asada super burrito with everything except sour cream. Sour cream and I are like oil and water, so I'm glad they didn't include it. This burrito is everything to me with the sour cream. If you're not lactose intolerant, get the sour cream. Your heart will learn this burrito has always been it's true desire. This burrito can be split, and each person may still have some of it leftover. Pay in cash at the truck. Pay with a debit card inside if you ordered from the truck but don't have cash. read more

Just okay, all meats other than shredded chicken would be best. They've been located in Fruitvale district for a long time and seems like they don't make an effort to be better.

Guadalajara Restaurant - Read snapper. One my favorite - Mexican Near Me - Oakland, California

Former favorite for the combination of fair quality at a reasonable price. However, prices have more than doubled in the past two years, while quality has not improved, so I am no longer going to visit this restaurant. Unfortunately for the servers, who are generally nice and attentive, the tips are smaller now that price soared. Quality of the service did not increase to keep pace with the price of a burrito, so I have trouble justifying a 20% tip like I used to give. read more

I got one drink which was good which is why it's receiving the 2 stars, but the service wasnt great, we had to ask for the bill, the lady that took our order only took one person in our parties order, but the real issue was when the bill came, 400+ dollars. It didnt look right so carefully observing the ticket, they charged us for 7 quesadillas (only 4 of us had the quesadillas) and 7 tequila shots (only 4 of us had shots) the waitress gave an excuse that the computer wasn't working, but after 30 minutes of going back and fourth with her, the bill went from over 400 to 250...... read more

Authentic, delicious Mexican food! We came here with our family on a Saturday around lunch time and were greeted and seated immediately. The first thing I noticed was that the walls have a lot of really beautiful unique artwork. I went with the cheese enchiladas verde with jicama agua fresa and both were delicious. The service was also great - they were super friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more
