If I could give this place more stars, I gladly would. The food was delish, they hit all the flavor notes of what a Mexican restaurant should taste like. We started with the simple salad and what a great way to start, the salad was packed with fresh lettuce , tomatos, cheese, olives and more, the ranch dressing was spot on with a little spicy flavor. I had the lunch special 2 enchiladas (corn tortillas) with red sauce, and a hard shell beef taco, beans and rice 10, very reasonable. My wife had the chicken fajitas, mine was great, hers was off the chain delicious. Our waitress (Teresa) was super nice and very attentive which is rare these days, found out she has been her since they opened ..... 37 years .. Kudo's to her. I highly recommend this establishment named Quadalahonkies... Nice name
One of my local favorites... shrimp tacos are good. The specials are always fantastic.
Went to dinner with my wife tonight (Saturday 8:00pm) at Guadalahonk's. We had to wait little over 20 minutes. They seemed to be a little short staffed with about 3 waitresses, there were about 6 booths and tables empty. Our waitress was Chrystal, she was really nice and attentive. She came out multiple times during our meal to bringing us extra chips and salsa and to refill our drinks. They have a pretty large menu with a lot to choose from. I got a #2 combination which is a Chile Verde enchilada, Chile Colorado enchilada, cheese enchilada & hard shell taco (15.89). The Chili Colorado is a little spicy, but it by far the best thing I have had here. The Chili Verde is a close second. Their taco was pretty standard, nothing special. The cheese enchilada and refried beans were pretty good, but they definitely need to work on the rice (says Spanish rice). It was pretty bland and nothing to speak about. My wife got Flautas (two flour tortillas with shredded beef and sweet pork fried and topped with Monterey jack cheese, served with spicy avocado sauce, rice and beans, sour cream and guac) (12.49). The fried flautas are pretty dry, but that is expected. Usually you have enough guacamole and sour cream for them, but they seem to be a little chintzy on their guac and sour cream. Overall they are great place to eat, but you do have to be a little picky. The atmosphere is pretty quiet and welcoming for a great date night with cute little booths. They are a little more expensive, but the food for the most part is good. We'll definitely be going back.
Some friends and I come here for their taco tuesday special. It's very busy but eventually you can find a table if your party isn't too big. The patio is now open, and it's always nice to sit out there when the weather is warmed up. Great tacos and Beer. Atmosphere is fun.
The waitresses Chrystal was amazing and attentive. I thought she was the owner at first watching her check on tables and other guests. She really made the visit even better! I will be coming back simply because this type of service is not found everywhere anymore! If you want an amazing experience, I'd go and ask for her to be your waitresses, and you will see what I'm talking about! Thank you Chrystal see your next week!
Good food & excellent service at very reasonable prices.
We were going to eat here multiple times but the 3.9 rating kept us away. We tried it finally and glad we did. We enjoyed this old establishment was great. Food tasted great. Beer came out good. Salsa was delicious. I loved the ambiance service was quick and staff were very friendly! I tried #7 combo as I wanted combo sea food and Friday 5. Prices are very good barely impacted by inflation. I recommend!
Great quality food, came out quick and hot, very fresh. Hands down one of our favorite lunch spots. This place is a good time always! Thanks all at Guads!! Blake was a great server. They also have a family side restaurant guadalahonkeys / donkey tails which is 21
