Overall, everything was really good! The birria tacos were hands-down the favorite and a huge hit with my whole family. We would absolutely order those again and again! The only thing I would change next time is the chipotle sauce in the carne asada burrito. The flavor was good, but there was a lot of it and it ended up overpowering the carne asada. Next time, I'd definitely ask for the sauce on the side. Overall, a great first experience with lots of good food and we'll definitely be back for those birria tacos!

Probably not. But the food is solid, reliable, and always enjoyable, which is exactly why I keep coming back. Now, if you're a fan of drinks, music, and a festive atmosphere, this place definitely brings the party. It has that lively, colorful Mexican restaurant vibe, and I personally love that they have live music on certain days. My little one and I especially enjoy sitting outside in their enclosed patio area. It's such a nice little setup! Depending on the day and time, it can get pretty packed, but I've honestly never had a bad experience here. The staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is something you can count on. So no, I'm not going to crown Guadalajara the king of all Mexican food--but sometimes you don't need culinary fireworks. Sometimes you just want good food, a fun atmosphere, some music, and a place that consistently delivers. And Guadalajara does exactly that.

If you're searching for the best authentic Mexican kitchen in Menifee, Canyon Lake, Lake Elsinore, or the surrounding areas - look no further than Mi Pueblo Authentico. Growing up in a Mexican household, I know what real, homemade Mexican food tastes like, and this place is as close to home cooking as you can get. Their menudo, served on Saturdays and Sundays, is absolutely amazing - rich, flavorful, and done right. The chile relleno plate is equally delicious, perfectly prepared with that authentic taste you'd expect from a family kitchen. And honestly, everything on the menu hits the mark - from the crunchy tacos to the rolled tacos, it's all crafted with authenticity and care. If you're craving real Mexican food that reminds you of home, Mi Pueblo Authentico is the place to go. Highly recommend! read more

Didn't even know this place existed until it was recommended, and Los Jilbertos doesn't disappoint!…read moreIt's tucked way back with the ever ambiguous Taco sign with the Los Jilbertos logo on a window that doesn't face anything. But people know this place for sure, here just after 1pm on Friday and it's been a constant flow. Service was very friendly and food came out quick. The inside was clean and the salsa bar had 4 salsa options including a very chunky pico de gallo. I got the NAK Burrito, since they don't have the KCC they have down in Temecula, but the NAK seems to be the staple at every location. Much like the Cali Burrito but instead of sour cream there are refried beans to accompany the carne asada, fries, guacamole, pico and cheese. The beans make this burrito dense, immediately the weight made obvious this was going to be a filling burrito. Flavor was good, carne asada had a good cook, nice chew and good flavor. Fries were cooked crispy which I definitely prefer, great texture. The guacamole, cheese and pico were pretty evenly distributed. The beans were the wild card and they held their own in flavor. If you're not a huge fan of refried beans, probably steer clear as this is definitely bean forward in flavor, but I enjoyed it. Overall the location I would give 4 stars to, but maybe it's intentional that they maintain exclusivity of a largely local clientele? Hard to find but a hidden gem. Staff were well spoken and very friendly and diligent in their performance of responsibilities, easy 5 stars. The NAK Burrito is a solid 4. Very filling if you're hungry, but does end up being bean heavy. Value... it's hefty due to the beans, and a couple dollars more than the Cali burrito which I feel would be a bit lighter but close in volume. Flavors were good so definitely keeping note on a day that I'm really hungry.
