Guadalajara Taco Shop — Restaurant in Seaside

I’ve been to Guadalajara on two separate occasions. The first was about five years ago which was a disappointing experience. I recently went back after my nephew raved about their burritos, but unfortunately my feelings haven’t changed. The first thing you should know is that they are a cash only shop. I can understand and respect this, especially as I know how significant credit card fees can be for a small shop, but it’s still less than ideal for the customer. Secondly they didn’t have Carnitas which I consider one of the staples of a Mexican food place. To be fair though, they did serve Chili Verde which you do not find everywhere else. There are no fountain drinks, which is fine. All the drinks are self served from a refrigerated case.

What bothered me most though was my food. I ordered the chicken nachos and was served A plate with chips, chicken, beans and cheese. While I can’t say it was bad, it was extremely plain and bland. I can’t help but contrast this with Taqueria Palayos (formerly Casa Del Sol), which for the same price, you get it heaped with sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo. My wife had the Chili Verde burrito which she said it was good, but was disappointed with the amount of actual meat in the burrito.

I’m sure there are other things on the menu that warrants the five stars I see on other reviews, but I have yet to experience these things. Unfortunately, based on my experiences, I won’t...

The food was fine but the staff was incredibly rude. We arrived in the middle of the afternoon with a group of six, the restaurant was empty and placed our order to go — when the meals arrived one of the burritos was served on a plate (instead of wrapped) and hard to eat without a table. We thought it would be ok to sit down but this staff ushered us to leave because “they asked if we wanted it to-go or dine in, and we said to-go so we can’t eat here”. We are super confused why an empty joint would do that, and use such harsh tone and voice with us given that we were behaving respectfully. They also gave one person in our group the wrong change, and the cashier raised her voice at them when they recounted and asked for the difference. Super weird and hostile experience, won’t...

The worst oh my god it was horable I coul not eat what was given we had the cal can encaladas and Alfredo I could have mad it myself the staff that work here are really nice people but the food is not all that that this place gets such high marks . There are so many other places to eat out and spending money to whatcha thee owner of the restaurant Hera's the homeless is a little much when they where given 72 hours to leave . There are so many issues wit the place that if I was to go on it would feel like I was bashing them . And when his restaurant host a loud party keeping up the naborhood no on herase him maybe it's time to get real when we go out to eat and understand that it's a experience not a chore and chocking down can food. My opinion sorry if is offends you...
