    It's the perfect location connected to Doubletree. It's very trendy and clean. Unfortunately the QR code in the room does not have the menu on it yet, but with it suddenly thunder and lightening and expected showers we decided it's the best location to eat dinner at. The menu is ever changing we were told bec ownership has changed a few times...with that being said my pics of the menu are valid as of right now ;-) The young lady waiting on us was awesome! She is very friendly, attentive, and good at her job! I wish we would have gotten her name to have her recognized!!! Kudos to her and we left a very good tip :-) Now what you really want to hear about....the food. Yummy. I liked the sound of the strawberry salad, but I liked a couple of other things so I decided I'm having the salad for lunch tomorrow. We decided to share our meals and get the Philly cheese steak sandwich w/mayo and the bread was super fresh and squishy. It was so good that I was thinking I should have gotten one by myself, but than I bit into the whiskey cheeseburger with bacon and cheddar and WOW!!!! I didn't even finish my half of the Philly. Neither did my hubby. Lol. Now I have the dilemma of salad or burger tomorrow hahahaha. We both highly recommend the whiskey cheeseburger with bacon and choice of cheddar for the cheese.

    Fun drinks!

    Went for happy hour, pretty good. Would go back. Nachos were good, wings were similar to classic pizza place wings.

    This was my first time visiting a Guadalajara Grill in Tucson, and in years. I was overall quite…read morehappy with our experience. The interior is visually congested, not in a bad way but with lots of decor, seating, movement areas and etc. It makes a feeling of the space being busy and distracting. I prefer calmer spaces but it's not terrible. Service was prompt, frequent and wonderful. An older woman came by and asked how we wanted salsa and made us a bowl which was INCREDIBLE! So savory, spicy, fresh and left me wanting more. (You get a certain amount salsa and chips per person than you gotta pay). It was literally perfect. We weren't super hungry and wanted to share, to us the serving was more than enough for two. We enjoyed a house rocks margarita, grilled steak fajitas with rice and beans, sides of sour cream and guacamole and also some chips and salsa. It was all very well made, came out steaming and was very satisfying. The space felt cold to me, but seemed fine to all else. So just a note there if you run on the warmer side. I don't know if they do reservations, but I would imagine on some nights it would be a good idea seeing as they seem very busy.

    Ugh! I feel genuinely bad about giving this place three stars because it has all the makings of…read morebeing a five stars if not for one very important thing...the food. Which, you know, is kind of the whole point of a restaurant. The atmosphere was great, a little on the nose, but great none the less. It feels like a Mexican dinner or at least what I imagined a dinner in Mexico would look like. The staff where beyond amazing, especially the woman who made our complementary salsa right at the table. And the salsa was yummy but sadly that's the only part of the meal that I can say that about. The thing is, nothing was truly bad, but just about everything was incredibly bland. You'd have expected someone who puts raisins in potato salad to have served it, not an authentic Mexican restaurant. Though the positive is the lack of seasoning is really the only major problem. The food did not have any weird taste, it wasn't dry, the presentation was fine. It simply needs to be seasoned and this place goes to a solid 4/5 rather than a three.

I tried the smoked tuna tacos this time and they were just wonderful. Our server was a real gem. She brought over some gratis ceviche for us to try - it's great!

The staff was friendly and welcoming while we waited, and they made sure our order was complete except for a side of chips, which wasn't a big deal since they provided plenty of tostadas. The server even went the extra mile by including small containers of our favorite hot sauce, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, once we got home, we noticed the Camarón Culichi wasn't quite up to the standard we've come to expect from Mariscos Chihuahua. The Culichi sauce was much thinner than usual, and the quality and portion of the shrimp seemed to have changed. There were only a few shrimp in the dish, and they were noticeably smaller than what we've received during previous visits. The shrimp ceviche was still enjoyable, although the flavor also seemed a little different than usual. Overall, it was still a delicious meal, and we'll definitely be back because we've always had great experiences here. We just hope this was an isolated experience and not a sign that the restaurant's quality is changing.

What a pleasure to see the menu- not too overbearing , yet plenty of options on the 4 pages. The variety of offerings were usual fare in basic sense of any place serving Me Ivan food yet- not. Who has crispy avocado tacos for instance? Mexican style quesadilla? We ended up each getting the Classic Burrito- however this is not for the person who eats like a bird. It is HUGe and we saw reason for $17 price- my goodness- this is second day since going and eating lunch from it today and I still have enough left for third meal and maybe another! The Birria meat- best so have had besides a friend making it slightly better but close! The peppers I added to mine- delicious! The service happy and kind - even when my older mother "needed" a paper receipt- "Sigh" The ambiance is nice as you stand in line under shade to order then have the option to sit in courtyard and eat or take home. We took ours as she had to get home to her dog - we both agreed it was delicious and we would return! Highly recommend!

Three people in our group ordered the surf and turf, either as burritos or tacos, and none of us enjoyed it. Both burritos had a strip of cold, unmelted cheese running through them, and the tortillas were undercooked. The shrimp was overcooked. When we asked if the cheese could be melted, the waiter checked with the kitchen and returned to tell us that the kitchen said they do not melt the cheese. The bartender was attentive and aware of our needs, but unfortunately, the rest of the male staff were not. Overall, the food and service were both disappointing.
