    Our favorite dish, Chipotle Chicken, has very noticeably smaller portions of chicken than just a couple months ago. This also happened also when we ordered it to go and we thought the small portions were because it was takeout. However when we returned last week for a sit down dinner we received an even smaller portion. Two small thin slices, barely enough for a dinner serving. In the past we could eat half and have the other half the next day for lunch. Tasty but small portions. Disappointing for the price.

    I have not been here since before the pandemic. Came for my husband's birthday, as we had done in past years. The restaurant was exceedingly noisy, so we had to shout to try and have a conversation across the table. Not cool. We ordered drinks first, after waiting about 10 minutes for our server. My husband ordered a sangria and I ordered a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. My husband said his drink was super sweet, and he wasn't even drinking from the rim of sugar around the glass. I was given about a 2-3 oz. pour of wine in a small glass. At happy hour prices, I was charged $6.50 for this pathetic excuse for a glass of wine. We ordered the salsa table side preparation. In the past, I remember this used to around a 10 minute production that we enjoyed watching. I was standing right behind the salsa server at the bar waiting for change when she arrived. She finished in about 2 minutes flat, before I even had time to return to the table. My husband requested medium spice. Salsa was mild...not enough of a kick. The menu did not match what was shown on line, which meant I didn't get to choose what I expected to eat. I ordered shrimp fajitas. The shrimp were good but the vegetables were BATHED in oily grease and had little to no flavor or spice. My husband ordered Chile Colorado, which he said was good. Our meals were not at the level that we expected for the inflated prices. The best thing about the restaurant was our server, who was responsive to our requests. The worst thing was everything else. Will. Not. Be. Returning.

    My friend and I decided to eat here and were anticipating the lunch menu and the table side fresh salsa and guacamole. Those used to be the norm for this restaurant. However the owner/management has stopped both of these services. Not sure why but neither of us will go to one of these restaurants run by this owner/management. Very disappointed. But will say the margarita and food was still very good. If you don't mind not having full lunch services (the table side service is still available during dinner) you will likely enjoy this restaurant.

    We were seated on the patio because we had a small dog with us. No one else was out there and the restaurant was very busy. We felt a bit like an afterthought and service to the patio was slow. No problem with the food. The table side guacamole was very good!

    The worst Mexican food and service we’ve ever experienced. The beef in the tacos, and the chicken in the burrito was so dry we had to ask for salsa to put on top, even then not edible. Burrito was missing topping of cheese. Jorge, the waiter, was not happy with me when I asked to make it right. It took a very long time to get it back, and when he returned it, it was a hunk of cheese a half an inch thick, barely melted. When I cut into it, the cheese came off in one full chunk. Inedible! Service was just as bad as the food. Will never return, and will never recommend anyone go there.

    Really nice waitress once we finally talked to her. Before that, we were on the verge of walking out before even ordering. We were seated almost half an hour before we got to place our order. We really liked the atmosphere, music, big mural, the outdoor patio looked really nice-too cold to sit there on our visit.

    The food was good but not terrific. My Arroz Con Pollo was ok but not hot enough. The amount was plentiful. The beef was Ok but not worth more than 3 stars. Our waiter was attentive but obviously wanted to turn our table . Despite us telling him we were in no hurry he dropped by every 3 minutes to ask if we were ready to order even before our drinks arrived. The Margaritas were tasty but had little alcohol Probably won’t go back.

    The server was very amiable and got what we needed even though he was very busy. The food was excellent. The only problem was the noise level. It was not crowded when we got there but with the servers chatting amongst themselves and the loud music, it was almost too noisy for conversation.

    We read good things about Guadalajara, so we made a reservation during our recent trip to Tucson for the Arizona Bowl. We were glad we had the reservation, they were busy! They make salsa at your table, have delicious food in abundant proportions, and yummy drinks. We enjoyed every part of it and would definitely return. Highly recommend the shrimp /jalapeño. appetizer and chili burrito. The service is friendly in a casual atmosphere with plenty of parking.

    We googled "best Mexican food in Tucson" and this is what came up. Google didn't lie, this place was amazing. We ordered way more food than we could eat and we still ate it all, that's how good it was. Our waiter, Manuel, might be the nicest guy I've ever met. Would go back to Tucson just to go to this restaurant.

    I'm so glad to have this chance to review. I do not know how to use the QR code rating the waiter. Cecilio was an outstanding waiter! Please be sure he knows we thought his service superb. I don't know the name of the girl who whipped up the best guacamole and salsa for us at the table, but she was very friendly and both were delicious! We will definitely come back another time with out of town guests.
