Fiesta Guadalajara

Worst service. Got a plate for two and enough food for one. What is with the carrot lettuce thing.
Owner didn’t care. Salsa was not good and we had to wait 10 minutes to get are change after we paid. Not the first time their but it will be the last. Would not recommend to anyone.

Let’s point out the obvious, Guadalajara is an intense word. But the food is great. I brought my Mom here for our traditional home visit Margarita session. I got a classic on the rocks, she got it blended, and it was wonderful.
I ordered the new chipotle enchilada dish, and my mom got chile relleno. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal! WARNING: the chipotle sauce is spicy! I’m a pepper belly, so don’t take my words lightly! The only reason we BOTH finished our food was because it was so delicious. Hats off to the chef, and whatever else he wants us to take off.
I do have a complaint… But it hasn’t changed the rating because it made me laugh… The music… For at least 10 minutes it sounded like the chipmunks were singing. It was annoying, and adorable, and creepy, and funny, and horrible. If I was on a date and that music starting playing; zero chance of second date.

After going to several Mexican restaurants in the Valley our kids keep asking to return to Fiesta Guadalajara. This place has also been recommended to us by several Mexican friends. The Carne Asada is one of my favorites. The service is always very friendly and prompt.

I used to love their Arrow con pollo, tonight it was a gross dissapointment. The large chunks of chicken were nowhere to be seen, the olives had shrunk, and the sauce tasted like a bottle if katsup, and I don’t like katsup. It was a huge dissapointed.

The food was quite tasty and the customer service was fantastic. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service team worked together smoothly to assure our needs were met. It was my first time here and I would be more than happy to return.

Love their appetizer sampler/​combo thing. But only when it’s to go. They just make it different, and it tastes better. Also the quesadilla in the app combo is prefect full of cheese, but the actual quesadilla meal, has little cheese.

I absolutely love this restaurant! Their customer service is fantastic from the second you walk into the door. I always order the beef chimichangas and they are so good. The price is very reasonable considering the large amount of food they give you. It’s also great that they give you a very large bag of tortilla chips with salsa when you order to go.

I’ve seen positive reviews that state plenty of parking. Duh, who wants to eat this stuff? We first tried it almost 3 years ago shortly after moving to Kuna. It was terrible. Crappy service, dirty bathrooms, and mediocre food.
We decided to give them another try. Heck, 3 years in business, may we hit a bad day or they’ve improved. Wrong.
The free chips, salsa & beans. Chips were stale and unsalted, salsa was ok, but the beans they were gross. Not only lacking in flavor but very greasy mouth feel. Should have walked out at this cause if you’re a Mexican restaurant and can’t get chips & salsa right, you shouldn’t be in business.
We order and hubby specifically asks if there are onions in his meal. No sir, no onions. You can already guess, it was loaded with onions. At this point he was done with their lackluster service & food and didn’t get a replacement. Son got the beef fajitas. There was probably 2 oz. of beef, tons of onions a few peppers and some tomatoes.
The food would be bad enough on it’s own, but then on top of that, you can hardly find a server to save your life.
If that all wasn’t bad enough, their women’s bathroom was filthy. How hard is it to clean out a vent fan every few months. This one obviously hadn’t been done in years.
Don’t know who these folks are giving the place good reviews — maybe they never been anywhere else. Taco Bell seriously has more flavor.

We tried this place 5 years ago while visiting. After California Mexican food, this was not good. Now that we live here we thought to give it another try. Meh — absolutely NO flavor to the food. Not even salt and pepper helped to raise the taste level. This is not Mexican food. Mexican food has spices and flavor. The margaritas were good and the waitress was super nice. Go for a drink — avoid this place for food.

Went to Fiesta Guadalajara with a group during a quiet Sunday evening. We were hopeful, but everything was meh. In short, this place would work in a pinch, but there has to be better Mexican food in the Treasure Valley.
Here’s the long of it:
— Waiting to be seated: Our group was acknowledged right away, wait was minimal
— Seating: We passed several dirty tables on the way back to our large table though restaurant was quiet. Table appeared clean at a glance but was actually dirty — looks like they didn’t move any of the salt/​peppers/​sugars when they wiped the table
— Service: Friendly, but lacking. Initially we were seated and checked on several times by a woman who turned out to be the hostess, not our server, but she didn’t mention that until after bringing out drinks and checking on answers to questions about the bar and the menu. When our server came to the table later, he was able to answer only part of our questions — when asked about the beers offered, he started with, «Now don’t quote me on this, […]», (I couldn’t resist ;)) which left with the feeling that we’d be gamboling on if any beer we ordered would be there or not.
— Food: Large dinners, as well as kid’s menu items, were ordered by our group. The food took a while but was served hot. The food was okay, leaning a little on the oily side for my preference. None of the food (ranging from carne asada platter to fajitas) stood out as really fantastic to anyone. The chips and salsa served to the table while we were waiting for our food order were pretty good, though we found it interesting that the salsa had large chunks of stewed tomatoes — every Mexican restaurant has its own special salsa version right?
— Boxes & Check — Didn’t take long to get a couple to-​go boxes and the check, however, we waited for the server to close our check and finally had to go up to the hostess station to pay. Not sure if table or hostess counter is the way to pay here.
There are so many more restaurants to explore in the Treasure Valley, and there was nothing amazingly terrible or wonderful to make me want to return to Fiesta Guadalajara.

Pretty good Mexican food here today. Had the ground beef tacos and their chips and salsa. It was all really good. The salsa especially had a really good limey flavor. I’d give it a 5 star, but any place that serves beans and rice as sides to a dish can’t get a perfect rating. Beans and rice is prison food.

We eat here often, great food great service

Okay, it was just plain gross! When a Mexican restaurant gives one basket of chips and bowl of salsa free and then charges for each additional, that’s a sign to RUN! The chips were nowhere close to being fresh. The beans I would say were rehydrate. I ordered a taco with shredded beef and it came with canned tomatoes and beef chunks. The rice tasted like a box, not that it came from a box but actually the box. Basically there was nothing good about this place. I can’t figure out why the parking lot was full. On the positive side our waitress was super nice.

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant because I am a fan of Chapalas and have not found anything that matches it in Idaho so far (I am from AZ so I am fairly picky). The food was priced slightly cheaper then Chapalas and the portions were a lot bigger. I had the Carne Asada which I normally get at Chapalas also. The taste was comparable and I blame the slight lack of charring on the meat which I am fond of to the fact that I decided to get my meat rare so it barely stayed on the grill. Anyhow the beans and salsa with complimentary chips where average. I don’t really compare them to any other restaurant because I know everyone pours it out of a can when it comes to beans or at least it tastes that way. The salsa seemed homemade though… our waiter was very quick with our food and polite:). I did not get any adult beverages since I am prego so cannot comment on the strength but what I did notice is they gave us a sopapilla at the end of the meal which I always love and sadly Chapala never gives. I will definitely be back and this time bring the hubby to try out the drinks and get his opinion on the food.

My family and I have been patrons of this great spot for many years now. The service is always great, the staff and Owner’s family are fantastic. Oh yes, we LOVE the food as well.

I am a huge Mexican food fan and since moving to the area I have tried several but so far this one is my favorite. The staff is nice, the food is good, the service is quick and the drinks are strong!
