Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Superior

Guadalajara is one of the very few Mexican restaurants in the Duluth-Superior area and its alright. I have been there numerous times and each time has been fine. Nothing amazing, but nothing horrible either. If you're looking to fix a craving it will suffice. I know that this is picky of me but last year my husband and I had gone there for Cinco De Mayo. We went there knowing full well that it would be very busy. We knew that we would have to be very patient and we didn't go until closer to 8pm in the hopes to miss the dinner rush. We were seated quickly and our drink order was taken fast. It was packed there. We ordered our food right away and waited 45 minutes for it. I had told our server multiple times and quite clearly that I could not have sour cream or cheese and my food needed to have none. He told me that it would be taken care of. When we got it mine was filled to the brim with sour cream and cheese, and I had ordered mine with no cheese or sour cream because I am allergic to dairy. Because it was hidden in the food our server left. We waited another 20 minutes for him to come back and told him about the mistake. By this time the crowd had thinned some. He ran back to fix it and another 20 minutes later I finally had food I could eat safely. I do not know how large his section was but 20 minutes to come check on a table is too long. I understand that it was a busy night but I have worked in the service industry for years and I would have been chewed out by my bosses for...

There were a lot of people here, and that shouldn't be overlooked, but this was our first experience, and we are not likely to return. We saw the waiter only twice. Once when he took our order and once when he took the payment. As we were getting up to leave a passing server asked if I wanted her to refill the water glass that sat empty on the table since shortly after we were seated. I ordered fajitas. You know, the Latin stir fry that is usually served on a sizzling cast iron skillet. Usually, but not here, not this day. The food was overcooked, badly, cold, and tasteless. It was not inedible but it was mediocre at best. Except the shrimp in the fajitas. Those were overcooked to misery.

I wouldn't call this restaurant a place to avoid. Maybe we just picked the wrong things or the wrong day. People kept coming in the whole time we were there. I will say that mediocre service and mediocre food will lead us to choose to eat elsewhere, since better choices...

My friends and I showed up around 6:30pm and were seated in the bar area. The server did an amazing job of getting our drinks, food, and refills. Food was affordable $30 * with tip* for what we all ordered and large portions. I ordered grande burrito and beef cheese sauce, the chips and salsa were good as well. You pay at the register, I didn't hear him say that so I don't know if people know that.

I would agree with other reviews that the restaurant is a bit of a dirty feeling, but it seems to be an excellent hole in the wall if you are not local.

(The reason for the atmosphere not being 100% was that the bar area is not family friendly, the customers behind us ruined the mood. Two of the whitest ladies got so trashed that they were being loud and spouting profanities left and right. At one point one of them began to call the server papi and we could feel the cringe for that guy. When we went to check out we could see the dining area was a chill...
