The menu at Guadalajara includes your typical selection of authentic Mexican offerings like fajitas, burritos, and various tacos. Additionally, they offer a number of affordable lunch combos and great happy hour deals. The appetizer to try here is the delicious Queso Fundido, a creamy blend of Spanish Monchego and Monterey Jack Cheese with onions, garlic, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes, all served in a cast iron skillet with tortillas on the side.

Mexico's version of the fondue is actually quite tasty. Although I must warn that the chips and salsa were probably fill you up on their own so skip out on the appetizers if you do not want to leave with leftovers!

The complimentary salsa can be customized to your level of spiciness. The tableside salsa is prepared fresh right in front of you. On one visit the chips were nice and thin and crispy, while on another, the chips were a bit too hard and stale, so I guess it just depends on the particular day you visit as to whether the chips are fresh.

We tried the Taquitos de Papas and the Chicken Chimichanga. While the Chimichanga was great at both lunch and dinner, the Taquitos were a different story. Taquitos de Papas are basically garlic mashed potatoes stuffed in corn tortillas with lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole. Beans and rice are served on the side. They were really tasty at dinner time, yet below mediocre at lunch. At lunch, they seemed to be the quality of reheated leftovers and were hard, crunchy, stale and overall just not at all appetizing. I ended up throwing away half the plate. Also, the rice and beans were quite bland.

I highly recommend visiting at dinner as the ambiance is a bit nicer and the food quality much higher.

The food at Guadalajara is a hit or miss. Sometimes it is really delicious and others time blah with a stale overcooked taste. I have visited for both dinner and lunch and ordered the same entrees, and the food quality seems much higher at dinner. In fact, my lunch entree tasted like a cold leftover and was just not at all fresh tasting.
