This place has been around for a minute, and the food is still very good. I ordered the albóndigas and grabbed some tamales to go. I went with the small bowl -- carrots, zucchini, and meatballs in that caldo were absolutely delicious. Can't forget the chips and salsa, always on point. They sat me down right away, took my order, and the food came out super fast, even with every table full -- which tells you they're dialed in and know how to keep things moving. Overall, it's a really nice spot: welcoming, comfortable, and full of that true local-restaurant vibe. read more

Always good food! I have a new favorite now, it's the short ribs with nopales, or what they call Costillas con nopales. I love getting it with just Spanish rice. Service is relatively quick, considering it's made fresh. Ambiance is cozy little Mexican cafe. I just move it here. read more

We visit this place regularly because my husband likes the beef Cocido. It reminds him of his youth. This time I tried the street tacos (carne asada). I ordered them without cilantro, but the onions were in abundance. I don't mind onions , but there was a little too much for me. Next time I'll order them without onions as well. They were very generous with the meat. 3 street tacos plus rice and beans. I love the rice, but I'm not a huge fan of the beans. I don't think they are pinto beans. My husband asked for sour cream for his soup and they charged him $1 for it - the first time. Usually they just give it to him. I'd still recommend you give it a try. read more

Honest review from an honest Mexicans. Give this place a try if you're in Tolleson. Place is clean the staff are friendly and the food is food. We came for breakfast. I had the green chilaquiles and it was just the right amount of heat. Will be back for sure. read more

Tamales were so flavorful!! Nice ambience with historical decor, Will definitely return!

We decided to purchase tamales from this place for our monthly plant meeting. When I called, I asked if they had any sides for the tamales and was told they could do a charola (pan) of rice and beans. Upon arriving, it turned out to be cups, not pans. I had also asked for salsa after noticing they didn't add any and was told I had to purchase it even though we spent over $200 on food already. Why nickel and dime salsa when yall would have gave it to us free if we ate at your establishment and already spent a reasonable amount of money. Perdieron un cliente por gandallas. It was also disappointing to find that the cheese tamales had very little cheese and the meat ones had the meat halfway down the tamales and empty on the top half. I will say the tamales were tasty but what a rip off when it's more masa than protein or cheese. read more

Food, service, and price were all great. Stopped in with my husband for breakfast and took a couple of tamales to go. I am picky about tamales and theirs were very good. I can't wait to go back and try their lunch entrees and of course, more tamales. read more

They were out of tamales early. Even though I arrived before noon. So, if it's tamales you are craving, call them before you drive over. read more

My family & I have been going to this Mexican establishment for many years. On average about 2-3 times per year. The salsa verde used here is a bit hot for the less heat tolerant folks but is perfect to me. We decided to bring the queso fresco and crema from our home because that is what we add when we make chilaquiles. IMO, it takes them from a 95% to an absolute 100% perfection. Highly recommend this place. Nice staff everytime we go. You don't have to dress up all nice to feel comfortable here either. Feels like you are going to your Abuelita's home back on the rancho in the countryside. Well, that is my experience. read more

Tamales Guadalajara - Heaven - Mexican Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

If the name of the restaurant is Tamales Guadalajara, I sugest you have tamales while your doors are open! First time at this place! and we get there around 2pm, and our waitress tells us there is no more tamales, and that we should get there early because they run out early all the time WTF. They only open from 7am to 3pm Monday to Sunday, and if you have a normal 8 to 5 job! you won't get there early enogh ever during the week to get these elusive tamales. We had to settle with regular food and that was not that great! Very disappointed and will never go back!! read more

Delicious as always, love the soups here. Service was fast and attentive. Best chips and the salsa is great as well. Highly recommend read more

Greetings Arizona! -- this review is solely on the pollo verde tamales. The masa was very moist. 2 out of the 3 tamales a were very fresh. Paired with red salsa and chips... this was one of the best red salsa I've had in Arizona (just the right amount of kick-- a great mild salsa) This tamale is masa heavy and the filing is pretty light compared to the amount of masa. For 3 tamales came out to a whopping $9.00 after tax, which I believe is a good deal just for the simple fact the tamale was literally almost the size of a brick. The only suggestion I would have is to make the filling more heavier and the masa JUST A BIT lighter. -- I wish I took photos but I was so hungry, I scarfed them down. But the taste was fabulous and real deal Guadalajara. I just wished there was more filling inside it was so delicious! read more

Tamales Guadalajara - Interior - Mexican Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

In our quest to find great Mexican food we stopped here and found it. I had the Machaca and eggs plate. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the eggs not too dry. The beans were fantastic, just how I like them and the rice good as well. My wife had the Cocido and she said it's authenticity perfect, home made with fresh ingredients and she fell in love with it. The servers were very kind and respectful as if it were their own restaurant. Very clean place and I will tell you that as of now, it's our "Go To" place for Mexican food. Will try other dishes another day but for now I am extremely happy we found this place. read more

Man this place did not live up to its reviews. My wife got the machaca plate and left half the plate. It was terrible. I got the chicken chimichanga plate and it tasted like a frozen burrito made a week ago. It was not fresh tasting. I took two bits with my fork and left it. Got a pork tamale to try since it's in the name. No flavor and very little meat. Took two bites n left it also. Nice lady asked we needed boxes I told her no. My son wet burrito was the only freshly made thing we got. Paid almost $50 bucks for nothing. Went down the road n got a torta to eat. read more

Salsa with chips is good. Salsa is nice and spicy. I come from LA where a large bowl of menudo is much larger than this but its ok. Food was great and the staff is very attentive read more

The best Mexican food in Tolleson Arizona, tasty and welled seasoned, recommend the beef red chili. With rice and beans

I got tamales there today and they were dry as can be the meat was dry to much masa . I got one ofeverything. It was so disgusting. Food there is good what up the tamale's read more

There's no reason why this restaurant shouldn't have a 5 star rating all around. The staff is kind and quick. The ambience is soothing and traditional- a real Mexican restaurant. The food is amazing, you can't go wrong with red chilaquiles, tamales and some menudo on a chilly Sunday morning. This place is one of my favorite-family friendly restaurants. They immediately ask if we want a high chair and advised us where to sit so the air conditioning wouldn't hit our baby directly. If you know, you know. The women who come around with the food , coffee and care are so warm- they remind me of what it's like to be cared by a traditional Hispanic family. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who welcomes that nostalgic feeling. read more

Was our first time here and let me tell you we had a great experience! From the friendliness of the staff to the freshness of the food. We had the menudo, pozole and a tamale. Everything was spot on with taste although the tamale did have more masa than I'm used of. Other than that we had a wonderful experience. I'd highly recommend you give this place a try. read more

This was tough. I had hoped for better. My family is from Baja and liked the menudo but said the pozole fell short on flavor. They do have 2 sizes for the bowl so that's nice. Chilaquiles was okay. The flavor was average and not like the food that takes to Mexico in your mind. The Pastor Torta had good flavor but for $9 it was the smallest Torta I have ever had. It come with nothing but jarred jalapenos on the side. Fell short. I sure was hoping for better. read more

This is one of our favorite spots in Az! Great service, friendly family owners. We have tried almost everything on the menu but my personal favorites are the number 12 wet burrito with Aupastor and green sauce. Any of the soups are great, the rice and beans and chips and salsas are so good too! You really can't go wrong with any choice here if you love authentic Mexican food. You won't be disappointed. read more

Had the chicken burrito with rice and beans also the cheese tamales with rice and beans Both dishes were served with chips and a side mini salad.

Tamales Guadalajara - Free chips and salsa authentic! - Mexican Near Me - Tolleson, Arizona

We decided to try this place out again after 2-3 years of not eating here. I got the cocido which was very ,very bland the meat tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all. It was like eating meat soaked in water. My mom got the machaca and eggs, she did not like it and asked for a side of butter and chili to try to eat it and our server never brought it. Finally, another server came around and she asked for it and got it. By the time she came back my moms food was cold. The food was inedible to her, sadly. Lastly, the service was horrible. The young lady we got was very rude and when it came down to paying I had trouble getting my tap pay to work. She grabbed the card from my hand and when she was done just tossed it on the counter annoyed. Overall food and service was poor. read more

With the passing of older generations the art of making tamales has faded away in my family and no one wants to do the work. Why when you have such a great product waiting for you to purchase? For the past five years we've been getting our Christmas and New Years tamales from this wonderful shop in Tolleson AZ. Although I'm not opposed to someone's nana teaching me how to make them..hint hint read more

I don't want to be negative on a place, we were reading reviews on the tamales they sell here, that they were not good due to how little they fill them but we decided to try them ourselves, you know give them benefit of the doubt. MAN! that was a mistake! we should have listened to the reviews that were on here, my wife ordered two cheese jalapeño tamales 95% of the tamales was all masa! If you're looking for tamales DO NOT come here and look else where. Here's the picture for proof read more
