Guadalajara Restaurant — Restaurant in King City

UPDATE 8/29/17: Arrived again on 8/12/17 for our Camarones a la Diabla. 5 guys ordered it and all 5 pronounced it as the best they have eaten yet anywhere. Don't know what other reviewers are eating but make no mistake - there is NOTHING bland about the Camarones and it IS authentic. Try it and let me know what you think. Or, don't and we'll have more for us, lol! We have been using this establishment for going on 15 years now. It is a lunch destination spot for our little motorcycle group, and we go for one thing and one thing only - Camarones a la Diabla. It is consistently the best we've ever found + they own the tortilla factory next store so those are fresh as can be as well. Sublime heat and flavor combo. Somebody said this place was flavorless? LOL! But don't listen to me, go taste for yourself. I'm headed there tomorrow and can't wait, maybe I'll see you there. PS: They appear to be open Sundays now but I also hear that they close one Sunday a month...

We were excited to spend some money and go out for a good meal but were very disappointed! The food isnt good at all. The meat is tough, and my chile verde sauce was very watery. They dont like seasoning here. The tamales are huge but theres absolutely no flavor and barely any meat in them, they were so dry i couldnt swallow without water. All 4 of our meals werent good. Sad we spent 100$. I should have gotten a refund. The service was also pretty bad, our waitress left halfway through (which is totally understandable because life happens), but the new waitress never came to our table. I kept having to go to the front register to ask for anything and to pay. The restaurant itself is cute and the decorations are nice. Dont bother stopping here. We ended up grabbing tamales...

This past Friday, in the late afternoon, on my way to southern California, after 30 minutes of bumper-to-bumper traffic on 101 near King City, due to road construction, I decided to look for an excellent place to eat. As fortune would have it, I found the Guadalajara restaurant in King City thru Google search. The food was excellent. We ordered Camarones a La Diabla (Devilish Shrimps - delicious and spicy). Also, since it was Friday, they had the Chicken Mole special, so we decided to get it. I have to say that it was the best chicken mole we have found in either the Monterey or Santa Cruz Counties. The restaurant is quiet, and the service attendants are friendly. For a place to eat good Mexican food in a relaxed...
