Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

So here is the deal. In the phoenix area you will find plenty Mexican food however this one is different. Here is why. Most the Mexican food you find in Phx has a northern Mexico/Sonoran influence which is good but it is different than central Mexico. This is one of the best authentic central Mexico restaurant. If you don't believe me just try the Mexican enchiladas with chicken and green sauce. Don't forget to ask for avocado. You will not be disappointed. Your welcome!

Good for a quick bite to eat. The food at Tamales Guadalajara has a authentic Mexican fare, with large portions. If you go to Tamales Guadalajara make sure you try the salsa and the guacomole, it's very tasty. On my first visit to Tamales Guadalajara my friends and I tried various menu items. Some of the items we tasted were the red beef tamales, beef flatas, rice, beans, chips and salsa. I really enjoyed the beans and salsa. The tamales had a nice taste but they lacked filling. The Guacamole was delicious and their salsa was very good. If I were in this area again I would definitely plan a second visit. The staff is polite, courteous, and accomdating. You will not feel rushed though they do a great job of getting your orders out to the table in a reasonable time. So if you are in the area, do yourself a favor and try Tamales Guadalajara, good food, reasonable prices, and great service. You'll be glad you did.

I love Mexican food! And Tamales Guadalajara is another reason why. It's not just another ordinary beans and rice kind of place. A co-worker and I had lunch here today based on what I had seen on Yelp! and it was very close to my mechanics shop where I was picking up my car. My co-worker is a closet foodie. Some of the reviews here mentioned the salsa. Again, nothing ordinary about something as commonplace as salsa. It's not red. It's not green. It's delicious! Clearly homemade with some peppers I'm not familiar with. I ordered the Machaca and it was outstanding! Did I mention homemade yet? The homemade refried beans were also wonderful with the chips. My company may have only ordered a burrito, but he enjoyed everything about his meal and was ready for a siesta afterwards. I would love to come back sometime when it's not so hot and sit on the really nice rear patio that I saw and enjoy a cerveza. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the iced tea (only sweet tea is available) tastes an awful lot like Lipton instant tea. Otherwise, this restaurant is more proof that you can have amazing, authentic food in simple surroundings, just off the beaten path.

Drove over here from Goodyear, due to the unusually high rating. I was extremely hungry, so I ordered some type of carne asada breakfast with eggs, beans, and rice. I also ordered six tamales: 3 chicken and 3 beef. The breakfast was okay, but very rich in flavor. I probably ate too fast, because it almost made me sick. I suggest eating slower. The tamales, on the other hand, hardly had any filling, were very dry and bland, and just plain awful. With a restaurant that has "tamales" in the actual name, you would think that these tamales would be made with rainbows, unicorn magic, and golden fairy dust. In reality, their tamales are the worst I have had since moving to Arizona. If you go East a few blocks, Fuego makes MUCH better tamales. So, I gave these guys 3-stars, because their service was good and the breakfast was decent.

We went there this morning for breakfast, my hubby was looking to have some good ol' bowl of menudo, red. So we Yelped! and found this place. We've been here before, some years ago, and I remember having a pleasant experience. This time, with 2 more kids added to the mix, we headed their way in a rainy morning. The service was excellent, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Menudo of course, red, with toasted birote on the side, and we thought it was bland, it needed more seasoning. #7 Green Chile Chilaquiles with eggs, rice and beans. This combinations is really good, more on the very spicy side, but tasty and very fulfilling, big portions. If you want to enjoy your breakfast, without having to deal with a runny nose, and burned tasting buds, then order the... #8 Red Chile chilaquiles with eggs, rice and beans. Very yummy, big portions, and the sauce is more subtle, but still has a hint of spiciness you can deal with. And then the regular scrambled eggs, with bacon, rice and beans. Overall, it is a good place to go to, but I can't say it's my favorite, or that something there is to die for, it just good.

Wow great place. Waitress was really nice and fast. I ordered tamales and she gave me her suggestion. Asked me a drink but I declined and she brought me some hibiscus tea on the house! Wonderful waitress she is, really! And everything was so delicious. Complimentary chips on the house with really tasty perfectly spicy salsa. Place was clean. Short n sweet this is the perfect place for a tamale! Oh and service is really fast! Tamales came out in no time!
(5)John N.

(5)Travis L.
Tried this place because the reviews it fell short. The tamales are bland the other food was just ok. The good things I had are the salsa and horchata.
(3)Tito N.
Located in a big strip mall, I was surprised by how many people were here on a Sunday morning. I had the egg and carne asada breakfast and as a girl who lived in Arizona most of her Iife. This is one of the best breakfast burrito I've had.

This little jewel of a Mexican restaurant does not know what bad food is, I have tried many different menu items and all leave me wanting for more. Try the lemonade too, what a refreshing way to wash down all that tasty food. If you have never been try to make it but be careful as it only opens for breakfast and lunch so if you get there after 3:00 pm you will miss out. The excellent food and friendly atmosphere will keep bringing you back. - Tamales Guadalajara, food like the one mom makes at home.
(5)Danny M.
I have been here a few times now. Everytime I have been their it was for their tamales and chipsand salsa. Both are amazing. Definitely going to try other things from here. I would recommend to anyone that loves tamales.
(5)Thomas S.
Wow! Good food. Small hole in the wall place, but nice & clean inside. Awesome street tacos & green chili.
(5)Richard P.
First I want to say the food is Great! The pricing is reasonable but the service was horrible. I asked for a high chair, waitress never brought it. They ran out of orchata, didn't offer to make more. The drinks they served us and everyone else were Styrofoam. Not one time did our waitress come by to ask how everything was, she just walked bye with this blank look on her face. I even had to get my own refill. I will never go back there again.
(1)Tricia F.
We had a fantastic breakfast -- the red chilaquiles were perfection. My breakfast companion had a pork tamale on the side and proclaimed it "the best tamale I've ever had." Friendly service, and good coffee too!
(5)Liz D.
I would give this place a 4.5. The chips and salsa - to die for. Beans and rice - sooo flavorful! Tamales - YUM! Loved everything about this place.
(5)Sam S.
Delicious! Loved this very authentic mexican food. The waitresses are friendly, but it's obvious that english isn't their first language. It was very nice that a 2nd waitress came by to confirm our order. Only negative comments are that we asked for ice tea and instead got sweet tea. Also, the 2 baby highchairs we looked at had broken straps. Otherwise, it was great. I'm sorry I hadn't tried this restaurant sooner. I can see why it has so many positive reviews. I think they may be open only for breakfast and lunch.
(5)Stephanie M.
Authentic Mexican food! Some of our favorites are the chilaquiles and the green chile plate. My husband and I have been going for years and have never been disappointed. Just be prepared for mainly Spanish speaking waitresses.
(5)Rosalinda N.
This place never fails. We love all their breakfast especially their green chilaquiles and posole! Super friendly staff. I love love love this place! Highly recommend their breakfast.
(5)Dyanna Y.
Great food. Great friendly service!! Happy we discovered this place!! Had a California burrito (yummy) and a Asada quesadilla (wonderful) so far in my two visits. Can't wait to go back and try something new.
(4)John H.
A truly authentic Mexican restaurant with some of the finest tortillas around. I don't live anywhere near Tolleson, but whenever I find myself in the area, I make it a point to stop here for a California burrito. The tamales are excellent, as are the soups. I've tried a half-dozen things from their menu so far, and I have been thoroughly impressed with every single item. And the best part is that the cost is very reasonable. If you enjoy trying new Mexican restaurants and find yourself in the Tolleson area at some point, you owe it to yourself to give Tamales Guadalajara a chance. It's fantastic.
(5)Joyce F.

(5)Sal M.
Excellent authentic Mexican food!!! The chilaquiles red or green are my favorite. Good coffee!!!
(5)Antonio L.
I was in the mood for tamales and eggs for breakfast. So I found this place and though they don't have that combo in the menu, the waitress happily made it happen. She brought me chips and salsa. The salsa was delicious and the chips were homemade; yet they were too thick. She brought me the tamales which I ordered two pork and one cheese, came with a side of beans and rice. The best beans I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. The rice had too much garlic but still edible. The reason this restaurant gets three stars is because, the Tamils had little filling and were too dry. Overall I will be back to try other things on the menu.
(3)Joe P.
Amazing little spot, hidden in the small town of Tolleson. The guacamole is awesome! Perfect amount of spice and obviously made from scratch unlike some places. It reminds me of my own home made guac, so I must be doing something right! Cheap and delicious food all around, it is my new favorite local mexican joint to grab lunch at.
(5)Dre M.
Really good Mex food. Clean spot and great service. Not as good as Mom's but does the trick :)
(4)Kathryn B.
Charming little restaurant. Chips and salsa are good and the staff is friendly. What I'm basing my review on is the amazing tamales. My family and I are in love with the tamales. The beef tamales are excellent as are the cheese which come with two different types of chiles in them. Coming from Southern California I can tell you I've had my share of tamales. This place is the best.
(5)Todd P.
Amazing food! Best Mexican food I have ever had. Only down side is they aren't open for dinner. If they were I'd probably be here 5 times a week!
(5)Darren J.
I've never been to any part of Mexico worth mentioning, but if I do I would hope the food is this good.
(5)David B.
A friend and I, after having a vehicle serviced at the local Avondale auto center, had an itch for Mexican food. Boy did we hit the gold mine! The food was excellent and the drinks from the Horchata to the Lemonade were equally as great! The Restaurant was very clean and the staff extremely friendly. The prices were reasonable for the large portions. I wish they were open later than 3, but for making everything fresh every day, it's definitely understood as to why. I will absolutely return to this place very very soon, and would greatly suggest this place to any friends and family!
(5)Jose G.
I am from Guadalajara and this restaurant should change its name. The food does not represent Guadalajara by any means. I feel sorry for the people that are mislead when it comes to mexican food.
(3)G B.
This is my first choice when I think of authentic mexican food. The chilequilas, pozole, and cocido are the best. The food tastes a little different each time, but always delicious. It's almost like eating at my grandmother's house.
(5)Kari R.
Very clean place, great lemonade, good pork in green chile sauce. Tortillas were the downside....not homemade, but other than that the food was good.
(5)Julie D.
Best authentic Mexican food I've had! Great, friendly staff. Wouldn't go anywhere else.
(5)Sergio G.
Excellent food, probably the only authentic Mexican food in the entire state of Arizona, very friendly staff....Amazing food just like my grandmother and mothers cooking. I feel at home everytime i come to this place. The downside is they close at 3 but other than that i would give it 6 stars if i could. Food is cooked fresh unlike other restaurants who cook the meat early and let it sit for hours until you order. The owners are very friendly people too...Tamales Guadalajara should open up a second location !
(5)Luis R.
Real authentic Mexican food! Homemade like... Been going there since opening day, best menudo and pozole in AZ
