    This place is quite far away from me but I happened to end up in the area with my bike by the time it started to rain. I thought about going to Chic-fil-A and waiting out the rain. I changed my mind and went for TACOS! I had no idea what to expect. I didn't read any reviews and just stopped by randomly feeling tacos. I got a seat right away with some chips and salsa soon to follow. The chips were warm - not cold and stale. I couldn't decide on carne asada tacos or fish tacos and the waiter recommended definitely fish tacos so I heeded his advice. It wasn't bad and satisfied my taco craving. I cannot say anything memorable about the decoration. It was dim and the lighting wasn't great. Most staff other than my waiter looked like they were just going about another day at work. There was no interest or friendliness shown to customers. It was okay food and an average restaurant. That's all I can say!

    Chicken fajitas

    We just ate there for the first time. Delicious food with quick and friendly service! Yummy white cheese dip and salsa, too!

    Came in for the first time with my husband. We were seated in a timely fashion, our drinks were brought relatively quick, and our order was taken fast enough. It was all just very weird, though. We were never really spoken to, as the employees seemed more interested in socializing amongst themselves. So, even with the seating, drinks and order placement being done quickly, it wasn't a welcoming environment. Our food arrived after a 20 minutes wait, so, not too bad. But, the food was not worth that wait. Canned queso was very watered down. It was some of the runniest cheese we've ever been served. The meals were also not what we expected for a night out. Bland, soggy and messy. We didn't eat. We asked for the check and left. We're glad that we tried the place, but it won't be a repeat.

    Supreme nachos

    Chips (that came with the chips and salsa) were stale. I ordered the super nachos with no meat- just beans. There were maybe 10 chips and then a LOT of lettuce, minimal beans, cheese sour cream and guacamole. It was basically soup that I couldn't eat. This place used to be one of our favorites but has steadily declined over the years. This was our last visit there.

    I eat here a lot. At least once a month. They have great service and the food is equally as good.

    Beer was ice cold, chips and salsa was very tasty, the fajita nachos and mix dip was also delicious.

    Taqueria Guadalajara has a bit of a tucked away location just on the outskirts of Winchester,…read morewhich gives it that standalone, local spot feel. While having its own building is a plus, parking can quickly become a headache during busy hours, so timing your visit makes a difference. Walking in, there wasn't a host present, which made the entrance feel a little unorganized at first. However, a server quickly stepped in and pointed us in the right direction. From there, the experience improved the service was genuinely friendly and attentive, which helped set a positive tone for the meal. The burrito was the highlight. It came out well prepared with solid flavor throughout, even though it didn't include any sides. Normally, that might feel like something is missing, but the taste was good enough to carry the dish on its own. Pricing leans a bit on the higher side, which is something to keep in mind, especially given the lack of extras. Overall, Taqueria Guadalajara delivers where it matters most good flavor and friendly service even if it has a few logistical hiccups like parking and the initial lack of greeting. It's the kind of place that leaves you debating between a 4 and a 5, but the quality of the food ultimately pushes it into 5-star territory

    Returned for the first time in a while, and it was the most crowded I've ever seen the place…read more Strongly recommend they consider some pads on the ceiling to absorb the sound, or maybe a carpet, but our table of three was shouting to hear each other on a Tuesday night. Salsa continues to be delicious (albeit punishing the next day), and of my three tacos, carnitas was the only one to write home about. Pescado was fishy (not in the good way), and the al pastor was, again, just okay. Pointed out my chipped water glass to the server, who was apologetic and promptly replaced it. Best tacos in the area continue to be Los Altos de Jalisco in Winchester. I said what I said.

Everything we tried was flavorful and well prepared, and it delivered that homemade, authentic taste you hope for when you walk into a place like this. The location itself is a big plus. It's spacious, and they even have a separate room for large parties, which makes it a great option for groups or celebrations. I ordered a burrito, and the portion size was generous easily enough to leave you full. The food overall was delicious and felt worth the price. There were a few downsides on this visit. They don't offer complimentary chips and salsa, which was a little disappointing, and the servers weren't especially attentive, so service felt a bit slow at times. There was also a nearby table where kids were laying on the floor, which was a little distracting and took away from the dining experience. Overall, still a solid spot if you're looking for authentic Mexican food with big portions and plenty of space, especially for larger groups just don't expect the extras or super attentive service.

I was pleasantly surprised with this experience. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with the molé sauce and my friend ordered the shrimp tacos. The presentation of the enchiladas was impressive and the shrimp tacos looked tasty! I loved the sauce on my dish and the cheese/queso. I was full after 2 and a half of the enchiladas. It came with 4. My friend filled up on 2/3 of the tacos. Soni was our server and she did amazing! She was sure to keep our waters filled and was consistently checking in with us. The cleanliness of the restaurant and bathrooms were still impressive, despite a couple of crumbs on the table when we sat down. The chips and salsa were still my favorite part. I can be pretty picky when it comes to salsa but I love the texture and taste of this salsa. The chips always come out crispy and fresh! We were there at lunch time and the restaurant was not super busy. I'm glad I gave them another try! My husband and I love mexican food and were excited to try this location. I was very pleased with the environment when we walked in. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was beautiful. I was excited to get seated in a booth immediately on a Friday at around 5. I will also say that the bathrooms were incredibly clean! My husband and I both ordered tacos, but we were disappointed to find out they were out of the Birria tacos. I was shocked because it seemed early enough on a Friday for them to not be running out of items. I ordered chicken tacos and was not impressed. They were very bland and didn't come with much to add to the chicken and tortilla although, the plate was presented beautifully. My husband ordered the fish tacos and while he did enjoy them, they were also quite underwhelming. The service was not exceptional. I had to ask for water multiple times and as I was once a waitress myself, I was always taught water should be served immediately. I also had to remind my waitress 2 times that we had ordered the queso. It didn't come out until we had already received our food. Despite this, the chips and salsa were actually quite tasty and kept us satisfied. The server did bring more chips when we were getting low and was attentive to my soda and my husbands beer. I did feel the waitress could've been more attentive, but she was very kind and cheerful. I feel it's also important to note that the restaurant did not seem to be busy. I was happy to find that for two orders of tacos, a beer, and a soda, the bill was roughly $50, plus a $10 tip. While my husband and I prefer other Mexican restaurants in the area, I am glad we got to experience El Habanero.
