Guads

The best Mexican food hands down from all of our travels. Everything was so authentic. Flavors pooped and the beef and steak were extremely tasty. The margaritas best ever. 10/10-highly recommend!

The entrance is a little tight when trying to get in with a baby stroller but other than that, the staff is friendly and fast. We ordered our drinks and food, it came out fast and taste great! It's not a fancy place but a good spot to get good food for a good price.

The hot dog stand girl was eating one of their fish tacos when my husband questioned her where she got that from! She immediately pointed towards 21rst Str and said by pizzeria. Says alot if you see a local eating it instead of their own food! Needless to say we went and we had the shrimp and fish tacos. Delicious! I also tried the fresh guacamole that arrived in a huge bowl! Delicious. Only thing that needs some work was the Marguerite on the rocks as it tasted sans alcohol but all else was great! Prices are reasonable 3 tacos for $10. That's enough, you don't need the rice or beans. Will be back next time I'm in the area.

Food was good but I was there for the margaritas, Vegas, Top Shelf, and Kiki's...AWESOME @

I know that some people here do not rate Guad's (Guadalajara) Mexican Restaurant 5/5 because of "bad service" or "terrible food" but let me tell you, the service, setting, and service was great. My dad's family is from Mexico and most Mexican restaurants don't send an authentic "Mexican vibe" because they just have hard-shelled tacos with cheese and tomatoes, etc. and no jalapeños, and plain old mariachi songs like "Cielito Lindo" and "El Mariachi Loco" and "Jarabe Tapatío (Mexican Hat Dance)". Guad's has street tacos that they actually sell in Mexico, with different types of sauces on the side, and even better--they have "Medio litro" (500ml) Coca-Cola from Mexico! But what really brought out the Mexican vibe was the music. Instead of "traditional" and "authentic" mariachi music (which is the only Mexican music that everyone in the whole world knows right?), they played what music is actually "hot" and in-style in Mexico right now-- Banda and norteño, which are classified as "Regional Mexican music". Banda is all brass instruments with a polka-style rhythm and norteño is typically an accordion, guitar, and sousaphone, with a polka-style rhythm, but still--some mariachi music is cool, too. To sum it up--the music there is awesome! Finally, the service, which is probably the most important aspect to a restaurant: one man was running the "waiting" and he was great. He did not mess up, and was very polite. The food came out in an easy 5-10 minutes after we ordered! The things you need to do are sit outside, whether at night or day, and order Mexican Coke. It actually feels like you're in the outskirts of the city of Guadalajara, from which the restaurant was named after. My family and I were in Virginia Beach for vacation, so if you're a local and haven't gone, or a tourist wanting good Mexican food, I highly recommend Guad's (Guadalajara) Mexican Restaurant to everybody. I give you a friendly pat on the back if you read this all!😀
