This restaurant is quiet, family, and kid friendly.I got the enchilada special, which consists of 3 enchaladas (cheese, beef, and chicken) with chili gravy, refried beans and rice. I also got a small caso and a large guacamole. I will say out of the 3 enchiladas, the chicken was the best, the rest was a little bland today. I like Guadalajara, but today's guacamole was not their best. It was not as fresh. I will return because I like their menu options, customer service, and portion size.
I've been coming to this restaurant off and on for about 40 years since it was at its previous location. I would say it's good most of the time, probably 80 percent. Recently, I feel that it's improved from a few years before, so I'm pleased about that. Personally, I almost always enjoy the food. For the past year, I've been coming to Orange with my close friend and employee from Mexico via San Antonio. He was doubtful at first about eating Mexican food in Orange, but he was satisfied with his meal. Of course, it is not high end but for me, I would say it is pretty nice and cheaper than other places in town. I am writing this review now because last night he and another worker from San Antonio had dinner there. They both thought it was great. As for is it "real" Mexican food? My friend said it's about 50% Mexican which can be expected since I imagine they adjust the taste for their customers. If "The Guad" can make every meal like they did yesterday evening consistently, they'll easily be the best Mexican restaurant in town.
I won't say our service was terrific, but it was decent. The food, however! Absolutely delicious! It was very fresh, and I'm kind of picky about guacamole. A lot of places will store it too long. But there's was very fresh. The portions are very nice as well. I will most certainly come back!
