My experience is somewhere in between the previous reviewers' opinions. I agree that the service was fine. I will say that the food was good but certainly not "write home" good. The tamale portion of my combination plate was actually better than average in my experience. less

As the previous reviewer pointed out, this business is locally owned and operatied by Mexicans, the service is very good, and the staff is very friendly. About the food, I cannot agree. I have eaten a lot of Mexican food in many places and have worked in Mexican restuarants. This is not authentic Mexican food. It is Americanized Ameri-Mex and a shadow of what it could be. Chevy's is more authentic. And that bugs me because I wanted so badly for Guadalajara to be good and for the food to have the rich authentic flavors that Mexican food -- from whatever region -- has when it is at its best. We had chile rellenos, beef enchiladas, chile verde and soem other items that I don't recall right now. The chile rellenos were very greasy and had a "muddy" taste that made them inedible. The chile verde was "OK" but had none of the piquancy or spiciness that I expected. I'm not sure what was going on with the enchilada as it was ground beef -- which I had never seen used in authentic Mexican food. The refried beans were acceptable, but tasted canned. The bright spot was when I convinced the waitor to bring us salsa fresca and guacamole. The salsa that comes with the chips has flavor, but no mouthfeel. The salsa fresca, on the other hand, was very good -- nicely diced and generously speckled with just the right amount of cilantro and onion. A little hot, but not searing, just as it should be. I don't know if the owners are afraid that people in Danville will not like true Mexican food or if they just can't get the ingredients, but I hope they read this and realize that they are making a mistake. If someone were to have the nerve to serve really good, authentic Mexican food in this town, they would have to turn people away. Give us a chance, make your best chile colorado or camarone de mojo de ajo. We'll beat a path to the door! This, though...no. I can make more authentic at home. less

This restaurant is owned, operated, and ran by Mexican employees. They have brought authentic Mexican cuisine with a slight American twist to the classic little American hometown. The service is exceptional and the staff is extremely friendly, due to the quaint atmosphere. The language barrier of the broken English from some of the wait staff adds to the whole experience and romance of this eatery. A definate place to eat if in the mood for a laid back atmosphere and excellent food. And if you like sombreros, then you will definitely want to go there for your birthday. After dinner, enjoy one of there exquisite fried ice creams or cinnamon treats. -Enjoy less
