We wanted to eat at a good Mexican restaurant downtown, and we found Guadalajara Del Centro, and we're glad we did. We had a nice time that evening, and we ordered the common Mexican dishes. The guacamole tasted awesome, and the chicken fajitas were especially...Read More

Really fresh delicious meal. I highly suggest the chicken tortilla soup. It is cream based, not broth, and with the Avocado, makes this a chunky fulfilling soup in 2 sizes. Beef and chicken fajitas do not disappoint, I love the flour tortilla texture. Good...Read More

Never disappoints. We love coming here before the baseball game, basketball game or concert at Toyota Center. The food is excellent and so are the drinks. The staff is great and the atmosphere is inviting. I recommend them.

Good place to go before a House of Blues or Toyota Center concert. Also come here for lunch as I work downtown. Their chips and red salsa are unrivaled. We went through 3 baskets of chips. The white queso and chips appetizer was the bomb! Wife and...Read More

We are regular patrons at the Guadalajara in the Woodlands. This location downtown did not disappoint. A slightly upscale vibe to the place, and the food was easily up to par compared to our regular location in the burbs. The fried chicken enchiladas were a...Read More

We were seated quickly and they took our drink orders right away. Drinks came quickly and they took our order and the food arrived pretty quickly. Food is good and reasonably priced. Definitely will come back and recommend.

this must be my 10th time here. Always great. Although I wish they had more veggie offerings than the regular 3-4 items. Met with my college buddy and his family for a small reunion. However, I must say. It is ridiculous to have to pay $2...Read More

Delicious food! Make a reservation or get there early. This place gets busy every night of the week! Check out their chips with avacado dip & salsa. The avacado dip deserves a chefs kiss!
