Review Guacalajara Mexican Restaurant - Virginia Beach

Guads is our date night place. The food is always fresh and flavorful. My go-to dish is the chicken fajita. The chips and salsa are always fresh. The service is on point. I highly recommend checking out Guads!

Guads is always the great spot for Mexican in the 757. The drinks and food are always on point and the the service makes IT even better. Wilfredo our server was super friendly and made sure we were happy with everything. Great customer service and Love it I need to edit this for our server Sabino. The place was packed with Christmas parties and he made sure my fiance and I were happy with everything and gave us so much attention.Love IT

Awesome food good prices and great service. The salsa and chips were brought to the table almost immediately after sitting down and was delicious! The chicken was so juicy and everything tasted freshly made as opposed to kept super hot like most places do with rice and beans.

Had a fajita. First time I had refried beans. First time I liked refried beans. Thank you, Guads, for introducing them to me.

Not overly busy. Great food, awesome service and convenient shopping as well. Highly recommend as this is the first Mexican restaurant I’ve seen have Al pastor and spoes.

Guads Mexican Restaurant is located in the Hilltop Plaza Shopping Center. I've passed the place countless times over the years, but never made the time to come in until recently. It is located near Trader Joe's and Ulta Beauty (where JoAnn Fabrics used to be located). There is ample parking in the area, but some of the parking spots are pretty skinny. Both vehicle and pedestrian traffic can be busy at times, especially around the Trader Joe's. My visit to Guads Mexican Restaurant was on October 21, 2020. As noted above, I've passed this place several times over the years, but never made a visit there until this year. I'm not sure why I haven't been in sooner. What brought us to the area was due to an appointment my mom had at the DMV to have her license renewed. We got there around 4:30 pm that day and it was empty at the time. This is not unusual for us to go somewhere before places get busy, especially given the current environment we are in. When you first come in, there is hand sanitizer available. Both staff and guests are required to wear masks, but guests can remove their masks while seated at the table. We were immediately greeted and got to a table. Our server asked us what we wanted to drink and gave us menus to look over. We were also given chips and salsas as well, which is typical for this type of restaurant. This place offers Pepsi products. After he came back with our drinks, we were pretty much ready to order. The first part of the order was cheese dip. I ended up going with the Mexican Pizza with chicken as the protein for my entrée. My mom went with the Taco Loco with shrimp. Our server did great giving us time to indulge in the cheese dip before the entrées came out. It was about ten minutes later when the food came out. The Mexican Pizza with chicken was really good. It may look small when looking at photos, but it packs a good amount of food. I was full and then some when I was done. My mom liked the Taco Loco with shrimp as well (taco salad). Likewise, it may look small in photos, but there's quite a bit in a small shell so to speak. Our server did check up on us a few times to make sure all was good and they did great with keeping up on drink refills too. Overall, food and service were great at this location from this first visit. Food and service are the biggest factors when it comes to returning to a restaurant in the future. When I am in this area again in the future around lunch or dinner time, I will definitely consider coming back here again and again. So, if you are looking for a Mexican restaurant in this area, this is definitely a great place worth checking out.

Ate there yesterday!!!! Amazing lunch prices and the food was amazing! We got the taco salad with steak, and the chimichangas! Definitely recommend going there!!!!

We came in because we were in the area. The chicken Mexican pizza was delicious. Chips were fresh and tasty. I eat the white sauce, a little spicy but awesome.

Awesome service and food! Lots of variety and again the service was fast and attentive! Definitely recommend.

Great tasting food and wonderful service. Very clean inside.

Food was good. I cant say great because I spent a few yrs in Tx so I have had authentic Mexican food. I tried the calamari tacos which decent but slightly over cooked. Everything else was good to go. Drinks was alil weak but once we let the bartender know, he hooked them up. ;)

Meet a friend for dinner. The food and drinks were good and the staff was friendly.

Excellent Mexican restaurant. Conveniently located, friendly service, good value, delicious food and cocktails.

Food was overall good for the price, but we also ordered some horchata to-go that was absolutely rancid. Horchata was so bad we threw it away before leaving the parking lot.

I absolutely love this place! every time I have gone to Guad’s all the servers have been so respectful, nice & attentive! The manager is my favorite & always makes sure to take care of everyone (especially if he notices you come all the time). Food is amazing, everything comes out in a timely manner & the staff is awesome! Highly recommend to everyone! Thank you for always such a great experience..always leave happy!😊

Good service and food a bit pricey for what it is, also when I ordered the carnitas they were dry and didn't seem fresh or overcooked.
