My parents love this place! Fidel was a lovely waiter and we enjoyed talking to him, sadly my food wasn't so good, the pollo tamales had this sauce on it that I found to be really spicy even the salsa they give you when you sit down was spicy, I can't tolerate anything spicy/hot, then again I have acid reflux/gastrointestinal issue, I had a guava margarita without alcohol and shared that with my mom we enjoyed it, my parents enjoyed the freshly made tortillas and fajitas trio, I got the meatball soup, and woah, the chef put way too much salt in there, I couldn't eat any of it, and I hate wasting food, I'll be back another time since we live in San Diego, hopefully there's some non spicy options or gluten free and vegan/vegetarian,dairy free options available next time.
Casa Guadalajara is a must-visit spot; it's really charming with outdoor seating and a vibrantly decorated interior featuring colorful touches. The food and drinks are tasty, and they offer excellent desserts. It's a family-friendly restaurant with space for both large and small groups. While I don't recall live music, there is music playing, creating a pleasant atmosphere, and the service is good. Whether you're visiting San Diego or live here and want a Mexican restaurant, this place is definitely worth checking out.
Casa Guadalajara absolutely delivered tonight. The Queso Fundido con Chorizo came out bubbling hot and packed with flavor — easily one of the best starters I’ve had anywhere. My main dish, the Carne Asada & Shrimp, was outstanding. The steak was tender, the citrus-marinated grilled shrimp were insanely good, and the fresh tortillas and sides made the whole plate perfect. Beautiful food, great portions, and amazing flavor. Highly recommend.
Fun Mexican restaurant in Old Town serving traditional dishes. The servings were large. The rice and beans did lack a bit of flavor. I enjoyed the chicken chimichanga. Great chips. Queso wasn't the best. The Mariachi music was fun. Very colorful decor and staff.
Casa Guadalajara was recommended by the missionaries at the Mormon Battalion museum and it was a perfect lunch location. Crispy chips, flavorful salsa with a perfect level of heat. The taco salad was fresh, flavorful and delicious. The appetizer platter consisted of taquitos and quesadillas and if you like meaty cheesy goodness it’s a great starter. They had live music and a fun, festive atmosphere. Prices averaged $20 per dish but they were large enough to easily share.
