First time visiting this location…read more First off, this is a small hole-in-the-wall joint, perfect for a visit by Guy Fieri. It was very busy on Sunday but we only had to wait ten minutes to be seated. There was lots of staff, busy bussing tables, taking orders, checking the buffet (more on that later), etc. Their menu is mostly typical Mexican fare, breakfast, lunch and dinner items, so not unexpected with a name like Taco Olé right? The wife chose the Three Chalupa meal which came with rice and beans. Evidently Chalupa means something different than what we expected. What she got was what we refer to as "tostadas" with cheese, beans, lettuce, tomato and jalapeño slices. According to the waitress the distinction lies in what type of cheese is used - shredded vs sheeted sauce and possible whether the tortilla is corn or flour. I'm not sure. Anyway, the wife LOVED them. Particularly after I told her about the different salsas, chopped fresh jalapeños and chopped cilantro that was available at the aforementioned buffet. THEN she was ecstatic! I chose to try their buffet. While it was on the smallish size, the quality of the offerings was outstanding. Their rice and beans were very flavorful to start with. I also had a couple of chicken taquitos with the customary green avocado sauce served on them. There were sone enchiladas, which I didn't try, some chicken in molé, and a couple of items I couldn't identify. There must've been a soup or two as well. I did try a French toast/bread pudding type dish that was very good. Kinda an offset to the savory things I did eat. I also tried a few of the sausage rounds that were grilled. They were ok but I can make that at home so I wasn't wowed. Now..... what I DID find that I can't or haven't made at home was THE BEST Carnitas I've possibly ever eaten! Anywhere! Wow, just so amazingly succulent, tender, flavorful.... I'm running out of adjectives, Lol. I told my wife that they were "little mouth orgasms"!!! I'd go back just for the carnitas. They were that good. Oh, and they serve them with what seem to be house made, fresh corn tortillas too! We definitely will be going back here in the next two months we're in The Valley. No doubt about it!

Guadalajara Express is a pleasant surprise and something unique in Mexican cuisine…read more As there is limited signage, and the establishment is small (cozy), it is easy to miss if you're not alert. It's located just west of Raul Longoria in a strip mall, on the south side of Nolana Loop, next to Magnolia Events. To get into the parking you need to approach it from the west (as if you're coming from the expressway I-69-C), because dividers in the road do not allow a left turn if you're coming from the east. But it is well worth the visit! Guadalajara Express specializes in regional Mexican food from the Guadalajara, Jalisco area. I spent my teen years living in Guadalajara so when I heard about them it got my attention! I love the regional cuisine from Guadalajara and there are several things on their menu you cannot find anywhere else in the Valley. Yet I have often been sorely disappointed with Mexican restaurants as most here "americanize" their food. I am thrilled to say that my worries were needless. Guadalajara Express has authentic regional jaliciense food and do it well. I have been twice. The first time I ordered the "carne en su jugo" and the second time I had the torta ahogada. Both were wonderful! I was especially impressed since I knew it takes a special kind of birote (bread) to make the torta ahogada; the usual "bolillo" does not work. The birote is denser so it won't fall apart when they cover it with salsa. The owners / operators are from Guadalajara (once I tasted their food I could have guessed that). They found a bakery that special bakes the birote for their torta ahogadas. The torta ahogada has a dense, toasted birote, filled with carnitas, then covered with a sauce. Back in the 1970's they used to dunk the torta into the salsa, but nowadays it is ladled on. They ladle on a mild salsa, but provide a cruse filled with super hot salsa made with chile de arbol, use with caution, but it IS authentic! The ambience and decor is beautiful, lots of traditional Mexican "artesanias" many made in Tlaquepaque or Tonala, from the Guadalajara metropolitan area. It is a little cluttered, but pleasant. Both times I went it was very clean, service was exceptional, the food was heavenly. Prices seem a tad high, but considering you won't find their specialty offerings anywhere else, I thought it reasonable. I really enjoyed it and think you will too.

Thin strips of meat in a flavorful broth with frijoles de la olla, bacon pieces, onion and cilantro. So good! This dish originates from Guadalajara, Jalisco. The broth is not easy to make, thats probably the reason most places dont offer this dish. Anyway, meat was cooked good. Broth was flavorful and not salty from the bacon. It all came together. They give you three tiny quesadillas with your meal. Perfect addition. Overall, it was delicious. Will return.

I don't live in the area, but always get my food here when visiting family. The ambiance looks nice in the eating area, but there was no one around when I went by at around 5pm.
