Review Guadalajara Grill North - Tucson

Izzy Hendrickson
Wow! What an incredible experience. As soon as we were set at the table with menus, fresh salsa was made to our liking, and plenty of it! We ordered a prickly pear frozen margarita and watched as others enjoyed their yummy drinks and sizzling food. The vegetarian menu includes a seemingly filling dish served in a volcanic rock dish- VERY cool! Our tamales and enchiladas were incredible, very well seasoned and fantastic sauce to top. The beans were rich and the rice was flavorful. We spent about $50+tip - what a great meal! Fantastic service and plenty of staff. Everyone was in good spirits and seemed to be happy to be there

We went to Guadalajara Grill to celebrate my daughter's 21st Birthday. We had a party of 15 people. Sometimes with a party that large the service is not that great.. Can't say that about Guadalajara! They were amazing and dinner was amazing. We had the best waiter, I wish I could remember his name to recommend him cuz he really was great! He was on top of it the whole time. Everyone's food came out at basically the same time nice and hot and tasting very good! I didn't hear one single complaint from anyone of our guest. The waiter joked with us and had a great sense of humor! My daughter had an ice cream cake to celebrate her birthday and they were very accommodating to store it in the freezer for us while we all ate. All in all simply a great experience for my daughters birthday dinner. Would recommend for large groups to anyone! You just can't go wrong with Guadalajara! Thanks so much you guys! Keep up the outstanding work!!

Real authentic Mexican food! Fresh Salsa made at your table and my god, it was spicy. We both had chimichangas and they were so filling. The staff was so polite and attentive. Would highly recommend.

One are my favorite Mexican restaurants in visiting, Tucson. This is my first time trying the ceviche, it was amazing. I also ended up getting the Molcajete combo. Which allow you to try a variety of different meats. Steak, chicken, shrimp, as well as vegetables. Let’s not forget the fresh chips and salsa.

I came here around 4:30 and it was not too busy. Wonderful service and fantastic food. After living on the east coast for 9 years I really missed this type of restaurant. This is a wonderful example of what to look for to find a great meal with a fun experience.

The food was clean, fresh and amazing. Salsa was made to order at the table. I had the Snapper....EXCELLENT!

Was visiting from MD and really enjoyed my dinner here. I got the Chile Nogada which is something I'd never seen on a menu back home, and it was super delicious. The wait staff were friendly and made sure my drink was never empty. I also really liked the freshly made salsa.

I ordered a carne asada chimichunga with red enchilada sauce. I flew in earlier in the day and had not eaten until about 500 pm. The food was AMAZING. So much flavor, and I could not stop eating.

Update: Mocaljete is just as great as I remember. I've heard lots of positive things about Guadalajara. I went there with my mother and aunt who eats there frequently. The restaurant was quite busy on a Friday night. Our party of 4 had a 25 minute wait, which was not too bad. They came to seat us after 10 minutes. Their menu seems to be very authentic with some American and tex mex items which is normal. They come to your table and make salsa fresh. Ask mild, medium or hot. Very delicious. Fresh tortillas are made in the corner of the place. We had the Queso Fundito de Chorizo as an appetizer. Absolutely delicious but be warned.. It's impossibly stringy! It's hilarious to try and get some of that on a chip or tortilla. I ordered the burro panzon! Chicken, steak, bacon and shrimp with Pico de Gallo, guacamole and rice. Very good! My wife had the Paella. She loved it and barely ate half. Mother ordered burrito and aunt had the Molcajete Ultimo. Come boiling in a Volcanic rock bowl kept hot for hours. Desert was flan. Very good again! Portions were huge. Quality was great. Service was excellent. Everyone should have a great time there. Wonderful experience.

The atmosphere is calm and family friendly, the food is very good. You can eat lunch and be full and sometimes have for afterwards, if you come here your need to ask for the best salsa maker Yaya if you are a spicy lover or not a fan of spicy food Yaya will make both salsas.They are delicious! The food has a lot of flavors; But definitely Yaya makes the best salsa if you get a chance to come ask for her. The service is great if Ambar serves you she will be very attentive and will make your evening fun and kind, Ambar does a good job and Ambar has a good attitude towards you.

Very popular and busy place between 6-7pm. Can be very noisy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Portions are very large and good value for money. Most main courses could be shared between two people. Great Margarita’s and Craft Mexican beer on tap. Would definitely recommend. Great for a group get together.

Absolutely delicious. Went here twice during our stay. Can’t wait to come back. There’s a salsa cart that makes fresh salsa at the table. The tortillas are made fresh in house. The three margarita is amazing! We switched the top flavor from strawberry to prickly pear and another one as Cadillac. Service is good.

10/10! Salsa was made in front of you and tasted amazing! The service was insanely good, refills before I could even set an empty cup down. Main food was spectacular (cilantro chicken was perfect, good portion too) the prickly pear cactus margarita was also outstanding. Let’s not forget the handmade and fresh tortillas! I’ve had a lot of Mexican food (Mexico, California, Arizona etc.) and this is the real deal!!
Teri Rodriguez
Really nice restaurant, clean and was greeted promptly when entering the restaurant. The fresh salsa made at your table is absolutely the best.. it doesn't get any fresher than that! Had the cheese crisp, which was served up fast and was really good. Also recommend the Carne asada burrito!
Houston Brown
I want to give more than 4 stars, but this place is so frustrating. It was not wall to wall people ok e for a Friday night, but the service was slow. Whether refilling drinks, chips, or getting food from ya he kitchen. The staff seems to be overworked. The food is good, but not always spot on. Meats were overcooked. The concept is great, the execution, not so much. We had a group of 8.

The best part about eating here is that they make fresh salsa and fresh guacamole right at your table... it's so good , the salsa is tasty and deliciously spicy and the chips are thin and crispy! I had three fajitas dish... one was a tad salty but the other two were really good and filling. The service was excellent, and everyone was so nice! Atmosphere is colorful and pleasant, music is great, not too loud and awesome! I'd like to go again to try the chimichangas..

I enjoyed the captains skillet! Where else can you find Rockfish in Tuscon!

I have frequented this restaurant almost weekly since it opened. I kept returning because the food and service was amazing! The last two visits have not lived up to this. But my biggest complaint is what's happened to the menu. Tonight I ordered the fish tacos, which, in past visits has been so much great food that I took the second taco home. So the $13.99 price was definitely worth it. But this time I got two flat tortillas with a single 1/2" piece of fish-some of which I had to discard as inedible. What happened????? Won't order that again and will probably find a better place to eat, that doesn't charge $13.99 for an $8.99 meal.

We stopped in for dinner after reading some reviews online. We’re from Denver and the places we have back home are better than this place. How in the world is this placed rated so high? I expected much, much better food being so close to the border. We ate at a place in Scottsdale that blew this place out of the water just a few days earlier.

Excellent decor, tvs, bar, some of the best food I have eaten in Tucson, great flavors on the enchilladas, seriously amazing taste of the green chili with fresh cilantro, very tasty margarita as well. It was date night and you guys made it wonderful, Thanks I was there Friday night, Marisol the server was friendly and attentive to us. I will return, to try something else off your great menu. I wanted to bring in my macayo mugs for a discounted refill on margaritas,lol
Jane Oliver Boone
I have to say it took us while to go try Guadalajara, we missed Macayos desparately. We were extremely happy with food, service, prices, selections. I'm picky, I'm a Tucson native and I was totally pleased. It will be my go to Mexican food resturant. I put them on the same plane as Miniditos. I had the shrimp cocktail, shrimp were huge, cold, and salsa was fresh. The salsa Lady was at our table lickity split, fresh salsa made at your table to your desired heat, awesome. I'm a chili relleno coinasurere, not too much batter, very generous chili. You have your choice of refried or black beans. And, I had the 'gimme a double' Cadillac margarita. It was huge 32oz. And very good, was not short on the alcohol. I didn't try dessert, was too full.
Jason Sosa
The food was not good at all. I've had chimis from Nico's & Los Betos better than the one I had there. The meat had no flavor not to mention the margaritas we were served were so watered down it didn't even seem like it was an adult beverage. It wasn't just my meal, the other two people didn't finish there's either because it wasn't worth eating
John Lee
The bandaras drink had way to much liquor as did everyones drinks. Waiters were not on point. No outdoor patio. Night and day experiences compared to Kolb n Speedway. Much better restaurant on the eastside
Georgia Duncan
Do you know that feeling when you’ve missed a favorite food for a while and get your first bite, how perfect it is? That was the entire meal, beginning with the salsa prepared to perfection at the table, the beverages served perfectly, and the food...yes, the food! Oh my goodness! Fresh, hot, delicious, and perfect! We had consumed way too much of the salsa ad chips to finish our meals, but the best-server-in-the-world Anna bought bosses and told us to box everything Separately! She was right, Everything came home to later enjoyment in perfect condition. ...plus she sent more chips to go with the salsa that we also took home! Clearly, we missed our favorite GOG, and we’ll be back again!

I was in town and wanted to have Maccayos. When we got there we seen the namd had changed. We decided to give it a try. If I could give this place no stars that would still be too many. The service was horrible. The food was nasty. I ordered a taco salad with shredded beef no cheese sour cream or taco shell and when it came out it had cheese so I said I asked for no cheese. The server was rude about it. When my plate came back the salad was soaking wet and I couldn't eat it. I told the waitress that I didn't want it and I didn't want anything else. I just wanted my bill. When she came back I said did you take the taco salad off and she said no only a manger can do that and there is no manger here right now. I just paid the bill and didn't even think twice about not leaving a tip.

This is one of our favorite places to eat. We have been there for dinner and lots of fun. So yesterday we went for lunch. A bit more of a relaxed time. The salsa is to die for. Great, fresh, made just for you and just the way you like it. Split a steak burrito with my husband great choice, plenty of food for both of us. We did splurge and have a side of guacamole. Good service and food is great!
Louis Castaneda
Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food, this is one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Tucson that I had the plasure to visit, recommended 100%.
Waunita Moon
We went on Monday night not overly busy. The beef tamales hav no flavor, the meat or the masa and were served with sause over with half of the husk still on!!! The chille rilleno also no taste. Chips were cold!! Salsa was good!!! Very sad for a beautiful place. I question if I would ever return.
Jill Brown Odell
Was a great experience! The food was delicious and our waiter Eddie was awesome! He definitely made our visit fantastic ! I recommend to come give it a try! The salsa and homemade tortillas are amazing!
Amy Lorenz Clendenon
This was the first time I have ever ate at Guadalajara. I enjoyed every minute of my experience. The waiter was fantastic, food priced just right and delicious. There was so much food on my plate that I had enough left for dinner. I will definitely be a returning customer.
Tammy Yeager Reyna
Had my sons college graduation dinner here. The service and the food was amazing! Highly recommend this place!���
Michael King
Love this place. Chili verde enchiladas the best. Also great shrimp tacos, shrimp and chicken fajitas. Always crowded though. Sometimes a wait but try it.
LeRoy Willis
We had wonderful service, the salsa was made fresh at our table. The serving sizes were huge and we each brought home a full second meal. Would we return yes and this was not our first time there we ate there when this location opened last year about now. From the crowd and the folks waiting when we left it is my opinion that it is a hit.
Joyce Hughes
A few years ago we had eaten at Guadalajara and were not impressed. We decided to try it again yesterday. The food was delicious. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was nice. We enjoyed the experience and will be back. :)
