Guadalajara has very good food, the portions are large and it's always fresh. The price is very reasonable as well, definitely more affordable than other Mexican restaurants. And the service is very good. We've been coming here for years and are never disappointed.

Food served at this restaurant is truly delicious, setting it apart as the best Mexican restaurant in Huntsville. The flavors and quality surpass those found at other establishments in the area. Despite the presence of at least five other Mexican restaurants along the route, its worth my 25 minute drive just to enjoy their beans and rice. The distinct taste and quality of all their items make the extra travel worthwhile. The salsa is so tasty that it isn't uncommon for me to purchase a quart to take home. One visit, one taste, is all it takes to become hooked on this restaurant's offerings, making it a memorable and compelling dining choice.

Plata Guadalajara (combo) Chile Poblano (combo) Queso dip The food is always excellent. I always order one or the other of the two above. The Poblano plates (each or the combo comes with two) comes with two massive Poblano stuffed with cheese and meat, covered in cheese and a salad or shredded lettuce with guac on it. The Plata Guadalajara comes with two plates with a single cheese filled Poblano, a burrito, a hard taco, a tostada covered in lettuce tomatoes sour cream, an enchilada, and some other rolled food items I forget the name of. It's a lot of food..see photo The entire meal with queso and one of the aforementioned combos , and drink, is right at 20$. The amount of food is just right....for two meals. I always choose one or the other I listed above and don't have any experience with the others but from what I e seen they're all very large and around 12-15 dollars. Well, well worth it. The restaurant staff are always great and punctual and the food is some of the best and consistent of any Mexican restaurants in Huntsville. What the menu says is what you get, and you know what it will taste like before you even order it, as consistent as they are. I've never had a bad experience here. Frankly, it's one of the best and most underrated Mexican restaurants in Huntsville. Some of the best food. And 100% best food for the dollar, even with the higher food prices we see these days. If you haven't been, at least give it a shot. You may find yourself here way more than expected once you do.

Guadalajara never disappoints. They are the best Mexican restaurant to eat at. I love their salsa. I love their food. It's always good and so is the service. However, they have a health food safety rating of 85, so I will not be eating there again until it comes back up to 90 or better. That's why I gave them only 4 stars.

On this visit I ordered the Three Crunchy Beef Tacos meal. They were not skimpy on ingredients so it is a good value, and also delicious. ..................... I ordered an enchilada dinner and it was very good.

I love how chill the atmosphere is. Food is amazing and cooked to perfection. The table service was attentive but not hovering so that we can conversate. Definitely a great place to have a margarita night!
