I'm not sure if it's new owners or they just got better, but the food is better than my last review. The person who has helped me the last couple of times is the same person. I'm not sure if he's the owner or just always there, but he's very sweet. I have tried a couple of items during my last couple of visits and they were both good and I come back so they are obviously doing something right. I usually stop by after camping since they have plenty of space in front of the restaurant for RV parking. It's actually RV/trailer parking. After camping all weekend, it's nice to stop in and not have to eat camp food! Keep up the good work! v .. ....... .. .... read more

Very good food. I've been here many times over the years. Chips and salsa are the best.

Stopped for a light dinner and was presently surprised. The waiter was very nice and the food was delicious. read more

We are from California and are very picky with our Mexican food. We came through and had a small bite and the food was good. The salsa had a small amount of heat and the pico de gallo was very fresh. We got the fajitas, and it was simple yet good. I don't know what people are expecting from Mexican food in Washington to leave these reviews. This is simple food done very well, and the service was great. I do not normally leave reviews but this place was nice, clean, and welcoming. Therefore, I felt obligated to give my opinion. I hope this business does well in the future and hope they continue serving fresh, simple, good Mexican food. read more

This place is just ok. I got the tacos entree but it was more like tres taquitos. They were deep fried with rice, beans, sour cream, guacamole with a little bit of lettuce. It was kind of bland and really nothing special. She got what looked really good was a mojahete bowl. It's was piping hot and looked delicious. She really enjoyed it a lot. Plus it was a huge meal and she took home enough food from it to have lunch on it for 2 days. If I were back in town I would go there again. But, I would not go out of my way to go to this place. The service was pretty good though. They could update the inside of this place as it does not look like it's been updated in years. read more

We arrived around 6, party of 11 that did not call ahead after boating all day. Expected some grief from the wait staff but instead were greeted with eagerness, they immediately brought out a folding table and set it up on the end of a booth so we could all be seated together. The Cadillac margarita was perfectly prepared, and the enchiladas camaron were delicious. All plates were brought out within 5 minutes of each other. The waitress was gracious and engaging, the food was delicious, drinks were as well, can't ask for more than that. Will definitely be returning. read more

Visiting from Atlanta, GA and Just happened to stop by the Safeway and really needed some good food. Our family decided to try Guadalajara and it was amazing. I honestly say it was the best Mexican food I have ever tasted. We were truly satisfied and pleased with the experience and quality of food!! Please stop by and support this wonderful family restaurant!! read more

Traveling with my special diet needs is not always easy. I need 4oz protein and at least 16oz of veggies. They had a Fajita salad option. It was still a lil short on what I needed but I added salsa and their fried jalapeño and made it work. The salad itself was just ok. Just a little shredded iceberg lettuce smothered with the fajita veggies. I asked for the meat on the side. $14.95 I asked for a separate bowl so I could weigh all my stuff. The guy working didn't understand my question (He probably thought I was odd) but the girl working was so nice and immediately brought me one. I added a star for her service! I thought it was decent and okay. Always grateful to find a place that meets my special dietary requirements. Thank you! read more

This by far has the best Mexican food in town! The Fajita trio is otherworldly, A bit of Heaven in each bite. The salsa and Pico are always fresh. The Guadalajara margarita....one gets the job done and is delicious. The fried ice cream is da bomb read more

So I love trying new places and the restaurant we usually go to was really busy, so, we tried a new place. And sadly I was not impressed.. The inside of the building wasn't very eye catching the walls are canary yellow and there isn't much decor. But the atmosphere was pleasant. And the food.. Oh man, Where do I begin...? Their salsa tastes like a metal can.. The dish I ordered, was something similar to a seafood burrito.. I specifically requested absolutely NO other meat, just seafood. (I don't eat meat other than fish/seafood). The Entire burrito was littered with chicken.. Thankfully our dog liked it. My fella ordered the Ceviche and it wasn't blended or cut at all, and they didn't give him any of the corn tostadas that go along with the course, it was literally Pico with shrimp and some lime.. Their "hot" Habanero salsa is Not Hot.. and really doesn't have much Habanero taste.. This was very disappointing... But if you choose to give em a whirl.. Fingers crossed for ya. read more

Best Chile Relleno ever! I ate it so no picture of that one! Great service! Stopped on a whim and enjoyed a great dinner. read more

This place is OK but not very authentic Mexican fare. You won't find lengua, tripa or cabeza as meat options, no carnitas either. On the upside, their chips and salsa are very good. I had the Expresso Burrito ($12.95) with ground beef and it was OK. It was kind of bland, BUT if your pour a bunch of their awesome salsa on it, it's ok. The service was good and a nice venue with a parking lot. read more

If you are ever in Woodland, please stop by this establishment, you will not be disappointed. I ordered my to go dish "carne asada" and it was!! I asked to be cooked medium term, it came out with the right amount of softness and juiciness. I can say carne asada is grilled beef, but that will be a disservice to the cut of meat used and to the person manning the fire. When done right this plate is a song in your mouth that makes your brain dance to the flavors brought up front by the flame. No fake carne asada here! Fried sautéed meat is no comparison to this cut when is handled by a knowledgeable cook/chef. Even the white onion that comes on every plate was fenomenal, it was grilled as well and the flavor of it was a perfect company to the meat. I also ordered horchata and flan. Just look at the pictures!!!! This restaurant is located on the property anchored by Safeway supermarket in Woodland, not flashy, but the place is comfortable, quiet, with music but not loud, and clean floors!!! Not shabby!!! You are going to be pleased!!! Ohh, I haven't mentioned the wait staff, it was not an oversight. A good host and server need to be as inconspicuous as posible and they are. The people running this place take pride on the product they provide. The stars on the Yelp app are misleading, come, really, enjoy a good meal, the prices are right as well. read more

The food was delicious and fast and friendly service. The food was fresh and so were the chips and salsa. I will definitely be back.

Great service and delicious food. Restaurant is beautiful, immaculately clean, and temperature cool and comfortable. Menus were being cleaned after every customer and they definitely have regulars. Meals were top notch starting with chips and salsa/pico. We had chili verde and tacos de carnitas. Thank you to the staff/chef. We'll be back again when we make it to town. read more

How anyone could give great review for this place is shocking.the prices were ridiculously high.absolutely no atmosphere.the food was very bland and they never once asked how our meal was.literally...taco bell is better read more

The dishes were authentic and flavorful. Light, crispy chips served with fresh salsa that had the right amount of heat started the meal off right. I ordered the Enchiladas de Camaron (shrimp enchiladas) that were made with large fresh shrimp and a creamy tomatillo sauce and husband had the Cameron al Mojo deAjo (sautéd shrimp, onions, mushrooms). Both were delicious and we left satisfied. The location, aesthetic and service are the only elements that could be improved. So far the best Mexican food I've had in Woodland. Will come again read more

The carne asada plate was good. The rice and beans were excellent tasted very authentic. The steak was good but very salty and there guacamole was just okay nothing special. The service was fast which was nice since we were on our way to Seattle from Oregon and wanted something fast that wasn't fast food. Our waitress was a little rude but fast. read more

Nice little place! Good hot food, seasoned well! I asked for the Carne Asada to be spicy, and that is what I got!! Spicy as heck!!! But yummy!!!! Good prices & I would go again. Tip: large groups should call first as they mostly have booths. read more

Drove from Vancouver to give this a try and I'm so glad we did. The chips are so fresh and the tortillas must be made in house because I've only had better in Mexico. We tried the chicken and beef fajitas, both of which were fantastic. No chewy parts, great flavor and perfect spices. The pico de gallo was so fresh and tasty. We will definitely be going back. read more

We have visited this place several times. It just happens to be one of the favorites of family in the area. The food and service are both good. I'm not sure it's anything really special but we do like this place and no doubt will be returning many times in the future. We can get served fast and the location has easy parking since it's right next to a Safeway. read more

Horrible food and horrible customer service. One of the many Mexican restaurants in Woodland but do not go there if I don't have to

Was only ok. Al pastor was almost the pulled texture of carnitas. I know this probably isn't the worlds best place for Mexican food, but given the scope of the menu and the other reviews I had higher expectations. People were nice and friendly. read more

Great place to grab food!! The location is great and food is consistently delicious!!

Soooooo good! Just pull over and treat yourself!!! Also just as clean as everyone else has said. read more

This place have an amazing variety of items on the menu. Their food was amazing. Very authentic. I had the shrimp with rice and beans. I also had a pina colada. The waitress was beyond sweet, and made my husband and I dine beyond. Thank you guys read more

THis place used to be great. a couple years ago something drastically changed. Stale chips, overcooked asada, salsa bar has gone to hell. I wouldnt eat here if it was free. Did I mention they charge an arm and a leg? almost as bad as marias cantina LOL. The Guadilajara in davis is still good tho. read more

Stopped here for lunch yesterday. The ambiance was nice and the wait staff was very friendly. They started us off with some fresh warm chips and delicious salsa. It was all downhill from there. The Guadalajara burrito was bland and flavorless. The Chicken Mole was terrible. The sauce was grainy and just tasted really bad. I've had a lot of really great moles but this was just not even close. The beans were dry and the rice was not fresh. We thought of getting a flan to try and clean that bad taste from out palates but the flan seemed like it had been frozen for a while. The center was very cold, almost hard, the outer layer peeled off like skin and there was almost no caramel on it. Considering the ridiculously high prices, the food was extremely disappointing. I don't think I'd ever go back to this place. It's just not worth it. read more

I really don't expect a lot out of an bastardize Mexican restaurant. My other half and I just had a late lunch there and I ordered the Carna Burrito. What I did eat was like eating saw dust wrapped in news paper. No flavor to the meat or beans. The Tortilla needed a steak knife to cut through. My other half ordered a Ground beef enchilada. I tried a bite of it and the ground beef had a foul taste to it. So we did not eat very much of what was served. We let our server know how disappointed we were in the food so she took 10% off the bill. $3.25 WOW. So in short if you want to eat bland no flavor food got to Crapalajara! Enjoy. read more

A little pricy but you get very large portions and good quality food. The staff is very friendly and I've never had anything I didn't love there. Their tacos and burritos are always amazing. The drinks are also massive so be prepared lol. read more

Some of my favorite Mexican food I've had in the 360. I'll start off with the wonderful atmosphere inside. Many Mexican restaurants are very dirty but Guadalajara's is only the opposite as it is very clean inside yet still has the traditional atmosphere of a Mexican restaurant. Some of the best chips and salsa I've had from any Mexican restaurant ANYWHERE! The salsa is clearly homemade and the chips were obviously made there from scratch. Fresh ingredients, freshly cooked meat. great authentic flavor and I always leave the restaurant with a smile on my face. read more

I was very impressed!!.. clean restrooms!!. Great food not greasy at all. Homemade salsa was amazing with chips

Stopped in for dinner at 6 PM ,sat the four of us. The food was ok, we had a variety of food.The service was so slow. They offered a Tequila Sunrise as a special drink. It was so bad returned it and drank a Diet Pepsi. They definitely need more help. read more

We were so excited to try this place! Yelp said "Open" and we got there and they were closed. It was 10:15 am and it doesn't open until 11. Really messed up our travel schedule. I hope they can figure out how to fix this problem as Yelp seems to be having this issue more frequently read more

Guadalajara was an exquisitely lucky find. We were stopping for gas on the road from Portland to Tacoma and Guadalajara (the restaurant, not the city!) was there. Good reviews. And we were hungry. The vegetable quesedillas were great, and they added spinach, as asked. The staff was friendly and efficient; the prices were reasonable; the portions generous; the menu moderately extensive; the restaurant clean.In short, an unpretentious, above-average Mexican restaurant. But here's a special shout-out to Alondra, one of the staff. We had had a long weekend; we were on our way home. We were in our car, putting on seatbelts, in front of the restaurant. And here came Alondra...with the check. Yes. We had forgotten to pay. We're still mortified. Alondra's behavior was impeccable. No blame, no shame, very understanding. If you're hungry in Woodland WA, have we got a place for you. If you see Alondra, thank her again for us. Four and one-half stars. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! I live in Woodland and the wiser locals all go to Los Pepe's or Casa Tapatia. The manager lady is rude to you unless you're a man, she never smiles and does not seem to care about patrons. My best friend and I always meet for margaritas on Thursday and most of Woodland was without power (including our beloved Los Pepe's). We decided to try Guadalajara and we were SO DISAPPOINTED. We asked for water refills THREE TIMES and NEVER GOT IT! My sangria was a huge joke. Sangria with red wine should be deep ruby in color with lots of fresh fruit chunks (Los Pepe's serves theirs up in a big pretty fishbowl glass). Guadalajara's nasty sangria was light pink and had a few maraschino cherries in it and served in an old plastic cup. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE! Bad service, so-so food, terrible drinks. Go to Los Pepe's instead!!! read more

The food was inexpensive, but not particularly good. The carnitas had large sections of the serving which tasted boiled and unseasoned. This may be a great place in woodland for mexican food, but I wasn't impressed. 3 stars because the service was excellent and very nice. Maybe I just had a bad dish, but I can't see myself coming back. read more

Small town Mexican family-restaurant at its best! Extensive menu, but also dinner combos and specialties to narrow it down for you. Speedy and inviting staff. Everything was perfect and delicious! Immaculate restrooms! A great rest-stop if you need a good meal on the way between a long commute. They even have a separated bar with sports TVs on the other end of the restaurant. read more

Every visit has been outstanding. Just had the Carne Asada a few days ago and it was perfect. Their guac is very, very good. Chips always taste fresh and crisp. Service is good and always friendly. read more

Was in the Ridgefield NWR area & needed a reference (Since our last experience in Ridgefield rather sucked). We decided on this four-star location based on our Yahoo app as it was only a few minutes down the road. Tried two different taco plates & wasn't disgusted. That's about as good as it gets. Just "OK" tacos, watery, bland beans, tasteless rice ... very much like what seems to be a majority of Mexican food up here in the Northwest. The salsa & chips were the highlight, not really a bragging right for them. Next time we're in the area, we'll try another place, but this was clearly nothing to rush back for. read more
