Guadalajara Grill

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother, who was there today for dinner and was almost charged $12 for ONE AVOCADO. She was there with a group of women, all of whom ordered bowls of caldo de res. They asked for an avocado on the side so that they could add it to their soup. Everything was fine, until they got the bill. THEY WERE CHARGED $12 FOR ONE, SINGLE, SLICED AVOCADO. $12 for one avocado? Outrageous. When my mother pointed out that they were charged $12 for one avocado, the waiter said that the price was correct and asked if she needed to speak with a manager. After speaking with the manager and telling him that they refused to pay $12 for a single sliced avocado, he "generously" lowered the price to $5. Is this a joke? They paid the $5, but neither of them will ever be back.

BE WARNED: DO NOT ADD AN AVOCADO TO YOUR MEAL UNLESS YOU ARE OKAY WITH PAYING $12. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS, PEOPLE.

I can't even believe this place would take advantage of its customers in this way. Were you hoping they'd just pay the $12?

I have been to this restaurant many times in the past 10 years! We mostly come here for birthdays, but we also bring out of town guests too.

It's a well maintained restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, seven days a week. The decor and layout is perfect for intimate parties of two or booths and long tables to accommodate large groups and gatherings for all occasions. I've even attended a fundraiser here.

Breakfast is buffet style, lunch and dinner is ordered from the regular menu.

The highlight and what sets this place apart from most restaurants is the Mariachi Show. The musicians and singers put on a great show. The musicians will walk through the restaurant to "seranade" your date. All you have to do is let the Server know that you have a special request. Note: it is customary to tip the singer.

There is no cover charge or fee for the entertainment, except Special Events. I saw an advertisement for Valentine's Day. Reservations, tickets, and a deposit is required for this event.

There is a large parking lot, no charge, no Valet service. If you're in the area, give them a visit and don't forget to tell 'em that Rosemary sent ya!!

We've been coming here since 2015, we took a little break from 2020 till now mainly because of covid etc. So we made a reservation for 5pm and arrived at 4:45, we were sat right at 5pm. The male manager was taken care of us, started great got us our drinks, Chips and salsa and the show started shortly after.
The volume was way too loud to enjoy the singing, They weren't really playing the usual music and they danced way less/ crowd interaction. Then they sang an old song in English and sounds bad! The manager took our order, We asked for . Molcajete with extra queso fresco and to add Chorizo and for my daughter the kids chicken taco meal and add an extra taco with Asada and we asked for Queso with Chorizo. They brought us the queso with chorizo , the molcajete bowl had foil with the cheese dumped in and small amount of chorizo and this is $18+, first of all they use Mozzarella cheese not queso fresco and had no flavor, they gave u tiny portion. Than when our Molcajete arrived same thing in foil not touching the stone giving it that flavor, wasn't even hot, more mozzarella cheese without flavor and the meat look like was from the frozen bag, including the shrimps that tasted odd and no green onions with it and missing that extra chorizo, the kids meal the chicken was so dry and nasty my daughter had one bite and almost choked, then they brought her someone else plate and took it back and served it to someone else after she'd touched it.
They brought her 2nd taco which was chicken and should of been beef. She barley ate we end up just sending everything back and enjoying the chips and salsa which were the only good thing they had. The frozen drinks were so frozen and had small drops of booze and over priced $14.99 each for a Piña colada.
Last thing was they brought a kids drink out and didn't have the lid secure my husband went to put a straw in and the lip pop off and spilled down on him and the booth and couldn't get anyone attention to clean it and had no napkins at our table. The manager did remove the Molcajete but not my daughter meal that he clearly could see she didn't touch. We use to love this place but Never will i go back its clearly not the same and gone down hill. Mariachi wasn't great at all. Overall I Wish we never went and wasted our money.

They charged me for my one year old 20 dollars
And tip them self 18% percent even though it is a buffet which is self served.
Every one was rude but
But shout to the cooks the food was good.

THE BRUNCH IS VALUE PRICED, The foid is always perfection! They have brunch available every day. On the weekends they have Mariachi shows. The wait staff is very friendly and gives great service without hovering!! Their margaritas are to die for!! This is one of my favorite places. I have been coming here for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. The quality of the food has never diminished, and the quantity of choices is amazing!!

The food and service were excellent. I was impressed with the variety of food in their buffet. The price was very reasonable and the service was outstanding. I would come back here again.

Located right off the 10 FWY off Puente Ave exit in the Home Depot shopping center with plenty of parking. Growing up in the area, I've been to Guadalajara Grill numerous times and have always been happy with every experience. Service is good, the restaurant is clean with beautiful Mexican traditional decor.

Live Mariachi entertainment (which is part of the appeal of dining here) is included in their competitive and fair prices. I believe their shows are:
Thursday and Friday starting at 7PM.
Saturday starting at 3PM.
Sunday Brunch starting at 9AM.

If you plan to dine during the weekend evening hours, it's best to make reservations as they are prioritized, but note that you won't be seated until your ENTIRE party arrives.

They have a weekday lunch buffet at $15.99 from 10AM - 2PM and Saturdays/Holidays at $20.99 from 9AM - 2PM with plenty of food items that include a "Taquiza" (Taco Bar).
Happy hour is all-day Monday - Wednesday and on Thursday & Friday from 10AM - 6PM.

Overall, I really enjoy this authentic Mexican restaurant every visit.

Manager in the picture is EXTREMELY RUDE. She literally just went off on the people who pay her bills just for asking where we are in the waiting list after standing here for 3 HOURS. "If you ask where you are in the waiting list, it's only going to delay your seating" were her words exactly. I hope she gets fired.
First and last time we come here.

The food in the buffet is good, lots of selections to choose from and the price is very reasonable definitely recommend this place.

Food is good here but a little on the cold side. This was my first time here. Atmospheres is great, variety of Mexican food, chilaquiles, chile verde, tamales, menudo, frijoles, I will definitely be coming here more often.

Overpriced
Way to loud to have any conversations
Food was just ok , nothing special
Doubt I'll ever be back
