Guadalajara Grill

The super burritos are fantastic: super-sized; made with fresh, healthy ingredients; and a variety of tortilla options. Plus they’re open until 10pm- which is refreshingly practical for those of us who work past 7pm and then have an hour plus commute across the Bay every night. Love!

Been eating here for more than 20 years. Great food, fast service, wonderful size plates, meals! Price vs value is excellent! Hard working folks... Breakfast, lunch and dinner! Take out or casual table service. Best Mexican food I have ever eaten. I love the chili relleno plate. I ask for black beans.

These guys are good and fast. Prices are decent and salsa bar is a plus. Good horchata too. This is basically taco truck faire, so don't expect fancy. It's greasy in a good way and portions are nice. Even just a bean and rice burrito is enough to get me to stop by.

Got the super burrito, very tasty and it was huge! Great value for money. Staff are nice and the place is humble and chill, exactly what I like <3

Must try this place out if you love Mexican food like me. Their portions are huge and the ingredients are fresh! Burritos are so delicious 😋

Their service is as excellent as the delicious food they make.. So far, we have had their tacos, carne asada & carnitas. Their chicken burrito, chicken, & beef enchiladas, nachos, & tortas. So GOOD! I am so grateful they are in our neighborhood! The workers are a bunch hardworking, beautiful people! 🫶

Really loved the food. Fresh, and hot! The green guac salsa is the best. At first,, just looks like a fast food take out but they have a seating area. My chile relleno had Lot's of cheese that was the best!!

FIRST TIME HERE TRYING THE BURRITOS. A FRIEND OF OURS RAVES ABOUT THE BURRITOS HERE. I MUST SAY THERE THE BEST. I HAD A CHICKEN BURRITO, CAME WITH PICO DE GALLO , GUACAMOLE Y SOUR CREAM. VERY GOOD . IT WAS HUGE. BUT ILL CUT IT AND FREEZE TO PIECES FOR ANOTHER DAY. ALSO TRIED 2 TACO DE CARNITAS VERY GOOD. WHEN WE COME BACK TO SAN MATEO WE'LL MAKE SURE TO STOP BY AGAIN. DELCIOUS!!!

👉 Quantity is huge 👉 Taste is good 👉 Ambience is okay, but who cares if the food is good 👉 Service is good 👉 Chips is given as compliment 👉 3-4 types of salsa with salads are kept for unlimited.. 👉 $15-20 for two people 👉Must try their chicken QUESDILLA !!!

Excellent value. I got a plate for about $12, and it easily could have filled up two people. Great local vibe, and the salsa bar isn't too bad either.

Great burrito and phenomenal service. It was perfect and then 50+ young teenagers showed up, smoking heavily, and running around the store and shop next door. Completely taking over the parking lot. It was chaos. Great food though.

Great for any breakfast burrito cravings! Their fresh salsas are highlights. I got the no meat burrito and devoured it...

It was great for a quick eat. The service was fast without being fast-food. There were lots of Mexican options and (best part) infinite chips! As for pricing, two burritos plus drinks cost about 20 bucks. The food was awesome and very filling. Guadalajara had a la carte options as well as simply describing what you want.

One of my favorite places! Staff is always friendly and the burrito is just the best in the entire Bay! They have a whole lot options on their menu. Everything is delicious!

First time here, I never sit down at a Mexican restaurant if there are only Americans eating... (my very own technique to find great Mexican food 😋) I had the chicken fajitas plate, the portions were great for an old guy and medium build, I won't eat again until tomorrow!

So good! We are traveling and saw their reviews and decided to try it out. They did not disappoint.

My family and I have been going to this place for decades. When my niece and nephew were little, they moved away to Asia. But every single time they’d come back to visit Grandmas, they always requested to go there for their first meal after landing. They’d even ordered enchilada sauce to go. Freeze it and take it back on the airplane with them. Speaking of their grandma, who did not like any western food, ended up liking their foods. Their price stay reasonable and the owner and his staffs were always nice. Now that the little shopping center is to be closed for new development, I hope they’ll find a near by place and continue to provide authentic Mexican food for the community. We need to continue to support small businesses like them.

Amazing food!!! Haven’t had food of this quality in a very long time if ever,highly recommend to anyone that likes excellent Mexican food!

Great selection at reasonable prices. Really enjoyed the tacos and super nachos;)

We love the food here! Been going here for 10 years and haven't had a bad experience yet. I love their cheese enchiladas but my family gets burritos, tacos, etc!

I come from Oregon to eat here I've always loved it! When i go home i order two burritos and put then on ice so i can eat them in oregon. They've always asked if I wanted whole or refried beans when ordering burritos but the last one I ordered they just gave me refried and I prefer whole. Friendly people and good service and great food.

Good food, seems to be mostly authentic, particularly the tacos. Horchata was also nice though it seemed a bit watered down. Overall a good REAL Mexican place though definitely not at actually-in-Mexico level.

I had the Chili Verde Burrito. It's huge, could only eat half of it. It's pretty tasty and you can add 3 of their sauces, green, brown and red. Price was $8.99.

Best Denver Omelet around. They have great breakfasts up to 11:30 after that pretty decent Mexican restaurant.

Guadalajara Grill is convenient and fills your food craving.. That's about it. Now you know I'm not one to leave a salty review, but this place has left me upset not once, not twice but three times. And I believe the wonderful hungry people in the area should be aware. Caution : frequently messed up orders Caution: uses old food products. I'll leave it at that... But don't get anything that requires sour cream. It's risky. Otherwise, their food is decent.

It's ok I ordered a burrito the flavor was ok the salsa bar had different sauces and honestly didn't like the flavors of any of them my burrito was a super burrito asada the seasoning for the asada was to spicey. I like spicey but this had no flavor it was just hot and it was ok used to be better a while ago now it's just fallen off

Not a bad place. Not as authentic as I was hoping. I got a grilled chicken burrito and it just didn’t really have a lot of flavors popping. And no spicy kick whatsoever. Chicken really didn’t taste grilled. It could’ve been baked for all I know. No char grilled flavor or any sort of grill marks to speak of. Beans and rice and toppings. We’re all very fresh but just didn’t have much flavor of garlic or onion or anything. Hopefully this isn’t an insult, but this seems like the kind of food that would be perfect for a kids party. Fresh and good quality, but with very subdued and neutral flavors, so that if it appeals to a mass crowd. It’s not bad food, but I just wouldn’t even rank it in my top 10 just because I prefer more pronounced flavors and more authentic cooking techniques.

This taqueria is a decent one. The food is good, nothing special. The restaurant is a little small in my opinion. The burritos are average. The wait time is okay. Sometimes they are quick, but other times they are not. Overall, it’s an okay place for some Mexican food.

Local mom & pop operation / small business...I think. Came in to grab a few Breakfast Burritos, took a bit longer than I anticipated. Looks like a few they phone orders were coming in. The Breakfast Burrito was OK; good size, definitely edible, but nothing outstanding... Breakfast Burrito - 3/5

Used to be my go too, definitely has gone downhill. Burrito was poorly throw together. I asked for extra guac in the burrito and I could hear as I'm paying the chef joke and say "well I didn't put any extra in there". (I had called in the order). They gave me a tiny little side of guac.....paid extra for that?

Justy ordered some food tonight and I’m pretty disappointed. I ordered online, the girl who answered the phone was quick to rush me off and seemed out of it. We ordered two super nachos, one with extra sour cream & no guacamole, the other with no sour cream. Apparently all the condiments were placed oh the side. The girl seemed completely out of it in person as well. Food was prepared wrong compared to what is shown online and dissatisfied is just the tip of the ice berg on how we feel about dinner tonight. Very disappointed.

This place used to be really good, but lately when I call it seems like they have a attitude and now when I get my tacos the lime for my tacos they seem really passed due. Used the lemon and 10% juice 90% solid. I have been going for years and don't want to give them a really bad rating, but I hope they improve.

Yesterday, I ordered a Super Burrito and was surprised to find a small plastic strip inside it. Okay, mistakes happen, and the food itself was good, so I decided to give the place another chance today. I ordered the same burrito but forgot to ask for it without guacamole. When I realized, they had already made it, so I asked them to remove the guacamole. Instead, they basically forced me to eat it as it was. The service here feels like something you’d expect from a diner in the middle of nowhere but this is in the heart of Silicon Valley?! With a lot options around.... They refused to remake the burrito, even though it would only cost them $6. By trying to save a few bucks, they ended up losing a customer (and probably others I would have recommended the place to). It’s clear they don’t know how to run a business. After this experience, I decided to write this review and share the truth. The food isn’t bad, but the service is awful arrogant and rude. When I asked them to fix the situation, they basically told me, "I don’t care! Eat it or leave." I will never be back. Good luck folks!

Is a complete mess not clean at all smells horrible and she/he wanted to charge me 3 dollars for sour cream the food is tested bad like it was microwave

Rude customer service. No hello how are you even. Cleanliness is up for discussion. Food mediocre. Prices could be cheaper for food quality. Better off heading to SF for authentic Mexican food. Same price 10x better quality.

NEVER AGAIN! Chips were stale and almost broke my teeth! Tacos were nasty and the meat was over cooked and tough. Horrible place to eat! Waste of money. Jack in box has better tacos.

Tacos are good but You better work on Customer Service. On 08/2/2022 arround 9:15 pm your attendant was very mean. Customer service makes the difference.. She made me pay for 15 tacos.. I ordered 10 carne asada tacos and before my order was ready, i asked if they were served with salsa because it was not clear to me. She answered "yes, that's the way they are and everybody eats them". I politely asked if she can prepare 5 without salsa and ahe said "no, order is ready" (was not true). Anyway she told me she must charge me for the 5 No salsa tacos, cuse she will scrap 5 with salsa, i paid for the 5 i wanted an after 25 minutes or so, her partner gave be 15 tacos WITHOUT SALSA, WHAT'S THE POINT TO MAKE ME PAY FOR 5 MORE... little this screw big businesses... Sadly the enemy of a Mexican is another Mexican (or sort)... It was the poor girl in black leggins and tshirt

My regular burrit had VERY LITTLE MEAT. This is not the first time. I have been to many other taquerias and BOTH regular and super burritos are full of meat. Please improve the quality of you burritos

Food was tasteless, old and gave me food poisoning. Wouldn't go back even if they paid me.

I hate giving one star reviews but what else can I give it when the food was absolutely terrible, the cashier not very nice and they charge more than their posted menu shows? All four of us had terrible plates of food. The carne asada was not only bland and tasteless but super dry as well. My daughters’ tacos were the same. My wife said her plate tasted so bad she didn’t even finish half of it. When I purchased a soda, they charged me $2.50 but their menu says $1.75. The cashier, while I won’t say she was rude, was very short with us and didn’t seem like she wanted to help us. I hope this restaurant takes this criticism as a way to improve their food and service.
