  Wonderful. We had shrimp tacos and they were delicious. The staff was courteous and the place was clean. The 4 star is because the bathroom needed attention. It was down a long hallway. It needed paper.

  I came here for the first time and had the chimichangas for dinner.  They were good. The staff was friendly and I would go back to check out some more menu items.  Not too much to say from this one visit but it was a good experience.

  We walked in late in a Sunday night. Ordered steak and beer. The beer was cold, the chips and salsa made perfect bite while waiting on main course. Affordable Dining!!!!

  Fast, yummy, affordable and efficient. So glad we went here. We were hungry & two recommendations were closed. We stumbled on this restaurant & so glad we did!

  This place is seriously legit Mexican food.
  
  They have two locations in Taos, but I only go to this one by default, bc it's connected to the most awesome car wash like in all of New Mexico. And when your traveling in the mountains your gonna get dirty. If your not getting dirty your not doing it right. Lol
  
  Which always brings me to Guadalajara Grill.
  
  We usually stop in & get a cooler full of guacamole, chips & salsa etc., to take to Carson National Forest, to the Gorge or just adventure driving, which means "estamos perdidos"(we are lost) LOL.
  
  "Guadalajara" is actually a city in western MEXICO. Famously known for mariachi music & tequila! Ole! So it's not New Mexican cuisine its "south of the border" Mexican cuisine & it's freakin good homie!
  
  It's a totally laid back chill casual place that you walk up & order, watch the cars going thru the connecting glass windows to get washed, grab a beer, sit inside or out on the patio.
  From the dining room there are nice views of the mountains & there is also a giant hand painted Mexican mural on the wall that reminds me of the murals in Jalisco.
  
  In Jalisco, where Guadalajara is the capital, in Guadalajara's historic center there is "The Palacio del Gobierno" that also houses famous murals by painter José Clemente Orozco.
  So, yea, this place is pretty legit Mexican & in all the right ways.
  
  Like the little salsa bar they put out, with all the fresh condiments & fresh fried jalapeños, it's dope. Just like in Mexico.
  LOVE LOVE LOVE the way the whole staff wears matching uniforms with the cool old school paper boat shaped "party hats". They all look so cute & very professional.
  
  What I dig most about this place is they serve fresh oysters on the half shell! Yep. You can get oysters on the half shell here anytime while you wait for your car wax. Wax on, oysters in, wax off... waxing poetic here...
  
  I also love that you can get family sizes of guacamole & other sides to go. It's THE perfect place for take out for picnics or on the go down & dirty fun in the mountains!
  Every time we have been there, tons of people are coming & going getting take out. My absolute fave dish to take is the pork tips in green chili.2.die.4! I get it al la carte & refuse to share It's so yummy! Bueno Bueno :)
  
  The other thing I love we have gotten here is the Aztec quesadillas (easy to eat when your driving) My favorite is the carnitas quesadilla! Yep. Succulent pork carnitas! Freakin good homie! You can't go wrong here, even the rice & beans are bueno bueno.
  
  The only thing Guadalajara Grill is missing (hint hint) is the
  mariachi music & tequila! Ole!
  
  There is a ton of good stuff on the menu I haven't tried yet, but I will be back, if not for the next time I hit a few mud holes, spill my chips & salsa in my lap, smear my guacamole on the dash & need another car wash. Good times :)'
  
  Highly recommend.
