The food was excellent and the portions are very large! Definitely come hungry! Really enjoyed the complimentary chips and salsa. It had the perfect amount of heat to it. Lots of inside seating and it was comfortable. Great place to go for a filling meal with a good atmosphere and vast menu options. Definitely had something for everyone.

Decided to place a to go order for their Fajita Salad- On the website it states the following “Chicken or beef fajitas on top of fresh salad, in a crispy flour tortilla shell. Served with guacamole, sour cream and pico de gallo.”

My partner and I decided to split it as for 17.99 we figured it would be big enough for us to just bring home and split. After tax it came to be right about $20 bucks out the door. My husband gets home and in the bag we have 1/2 bag of la flavorita chips ( we have the exact bag at home) a small tiny thing of their salsa and then the “salad”

The chips are store bought and bland- A store bought cheaper brand for sure (The old guadas used to make chips in house and they were the best!)
The salsa tastes just as others have described. It is a can of tomato sauce a whole bunch of black pepper and some onions. They used to make the salsa with big chunks of onions, jalapeños and the flavors were on point!
The salad had NO lettuce at all, no tomatoes, no cheese. We had over cooked meat in a tortilla bowl, guac, sour cream & a little bit of pico. It was awful.

I would have to say we won’t be back. It was just not a good experience and the price is just out of control.

Good atmosphere and refreshingly good service with a smile. Tasty food and generous portions, too…but disappointingly skimpy on the meat, and the tiny amount I got seemed to be mostly gristle. It’s a happy, colorful, comfortable, friendly place – I’d love to give 4 or 5 stars, but it just wasn’t good value.

Love the decorations and atmosphere here! Very cute place. The food was only ok though. And they put chicken instead of beef in chimichanga. We didn’t tell the server cause it wasn’t that big of a deal. Just something to make note of. Over all, would recommend trying it out.

We went to Guadalajara on Wilcox and what a disaster. It started off when my wife ordered her meal and she asked up front if there was BOTH chicken and cheese inside her enchiladas. She was told yes. I ordered the 2 tacos and enchiladas. Our meal came and one of my tacos was missing a big chunk. I told the waiter and he said oh, they must not have seen that and he walked away. Then my wife noticed NO cheese in her enchiladas and asked where it was to the waiter. He said he would get some and came back after she took her last bite with a scalding hot bowl full of cheese.

I pointed it out to a lady who said she was the owner and she said we should have said something to her vs the waiter and blew it off. Then the other supposed owner came over and said we should have said something (as I showed him the now harden cheese) and he said he had asked around and they do not recognize us as REGULARS and said sorry we did not enjoy and left.

We eat there maybe twice a year but after tonight we will never again. Not only was the food wrong and missing chunks but the entire attitude of the owners ( Miguel Toro and Antonio Amador) was that they could care less about the customer (I guess if we were more regular they would of by the way they checked with other waiters to see if they recognized us)

My recommendation for Castle Rock Guadalajara is I will never go there again and you may want to consider a different restaurant for your dinning experience.

Oh, if anyone knows of the two people I mentioned are the owners or not I would love to know if we were also lied to when we complained.

This is the best Mexican food in town. It’s better than La Loma and better than Los Dos. You can go to those places and spend a fortune on mediocre food and a view.. but this place is authentic! Also, the portions are HUGE so come hungry! their chicken tortilla soup is AMAZING and I couldn’t get enough of the chicken enchiladas. 10/10 and I will be back!!

I’m writing this review for my parents in their 80s who aren’t exactly ‘computer literate’.

My parents had dinner at Guadalajara on Oct. 10th, and my parents, who are on a fixed retirement income and only eat out as a ‘treat’, paid for the meal, $67.55 using a credit card (receipt attached).

They also, as they always do, left a $20 cash tip on the table for the server as they are ‘old school’ and believe that ‘cash is king’ and that servers prefer cash to credit card tips to avoid credit card charges, etc. My father always writes “Tip on table”, and the amount for the meal, less tip, on the total line of the credit card charge slip.

A month later, when reviewing their back statement, the charge processed and posted by the bank on Oct. 13th was in the amount of $87.55. So not only did they get a $20.00 cash tip but also ran $20.00 on the credit card, which was posted.

While Guadalajara has always had good food and service and a family-friendly atmosphere, it’s not worthy of a nearly 60% tip.

Unfortunately, they cannot dispute the charge because the bank needs the restaurant’s credit card charge slip and they obviously do not have it.

So enjoy good food at Guadalajara, and the food is highly recommended, but I strongly suggest not tipping in cash and leaving it on your card in order to avoid double charged tips.

My parents hate to do it but they view it as having ‘pre-paid’ a tip for their next visit and, despite the fact that the server will end up being ‘shorted’, they feel as if they unknowingly and without authorization double-tipped the previous server.

Most of the parking is a bit further away from the entrance, were you encounter a slight incline. Once you enter through the double entrance, be careful not to let yourself or your littles run into the fire extinguisher, to the left. Please wait to be seated, though I do not recall seeing a sign noting such. It looks like at certain times you might have to wait, but they have bench seating in the entrance area. Seating is to the left and right of the host stand. As we were seated on the right, one side is mostly all windows with brick underneath, while the opposite walls are yellow with brick arched “windows,” painted orange, with hanging plants and iron work. Looking up you will notice ceilings that are partially shiplap and partially tile, decorated with twinkle lights, spoke wheel chandeliers, and star shaped balloons, which I believe were representing piñatas. The booths are maroon leather and busy fabric, with wooden edged tables that are designed with decorative tile on the outside (cream, pink, teal) and a large teal(ish) tile piece in the center. The other option for seating = tables with colorful chairs. The chairs have different carvings: toucan, senor and senorita dancing, hummingbird, macaw, sunflowers, etc.. The carpet had some staining, but overall the restaurant looked clean with some refreshes needed. Upon walking into the bathroom, you notice the color scheme from the tables was carried over to the bathroom walls. The women’s bathroom does have a changing station and two stalls. However the sink is rusty and the mirror tattered. On each table you will find sugar packets, plus salt and pepper shakers. The kid’s menu is hidden a bit in the regular menu, but it is there! While the servers were very attentive in the beginning, the service veered off by about mid-meal. They were all friendly and wore different colored button up shirts; some short-sleeved and some long-sleeved. I loved the fact that the children’s drinks arrived in black paper Pepsi cups with straws/lids. Adults drinks were delivered in blue plastic Pepsi glasses. Happy hour is 2-5pm, with drink specials and I believe a special on super nachos. Though I didnt try the tacos, they looked tasty. The queso burrito had less flavor than expected, but the chicken quesadilla was huge and something you should try!
