| - We've been looking for a good Mexican restaurant since moving from California. And so far Taqueria Guadalajara is the best, hands down, of all the places we've tried.
We've been here twice. On both visits we ordered the Burrito Mexicano, which is huge and has an excellent balance of meat, cheese, rice, and beans. The salsa, sour cream, and guacamole on top (which helps create the colors of the Mexican flag) give it good additional flavor. We've also ordered both times the tacos, which are also tasty--we've ordered the carne asada and pastor tacos. Great meat flavor and greasy enough to add flavor but you won't have grease dripping down your arms.
We've also had the chicken and cheese tamales, which had good flavor but there wasn't a whole lot of filling inside (especially the cheese), and a sope with chicken, which was delicious with a thick corn tortilla that is crispy on the bottom but soft on top and delicious meat, again.
For our son, we ordered a kid's quesadilla which was alright. The cheese wasn't melted, but I think they did that so that he didn't burn himself. If that's the intention, then that was very nice of them. Our son, as well as do I, loves the horchata, which is a sweet rice drink. It was tasty and wasn't too thick with rice. A little more cinnamon would be nice, though.
And, to be honest, last time we went, I had read Brad R.'s review and was scared about getting food poisoning. I probably hate being sick more than the average person, so I understand his warning. However, as I let that thought leave my mind and focused on enjoying the food, I started to think: I'm sure that if you talk to enough people, you'll find someone who has gotten food poisoning or has had some horrible experience at EVERY restaurant there is. If you want a surefire way to avoid food poisoning, you'll have to stay away from ALL hole-in-the-wall, but authentic places like this restaurant and go to Taco Bell or cook your own food and cook the hell out of everything. Again, I believe Brad, and I feel bad for his experience, but at the same time, I think you've gotta have trust in a place and hope that you don't get sick.
