    We have been eating at Guadalajara Grill for 35 years. It rarely disappoints. Service is always excellent, the margaritas are the best in town. Just be sure to make a reservation if you’re going to go on Friday or Saturday night. It’s a great place to have fun with friends or just a dinner for two. Our always go-to Mexican in the Temecula Valley.

    Fire the bar tender - drinks are horrible - not our first res - always lousy. Just horrible - no flavor - margs are just awful. Tossed together with no reasoning. Menu is nice - great selection - service is attentive. Unless you make a res - you are going to wait. Period. Fact is - they move you in and move you out - this is a place to eat - not a place to dine. If you understand that going in - this is your place...sans drink...until they get a new bar tender who knows how to mix drinks - that goes for the marg flights as well - zero flavor other than bottled fruit flavors. Order the iced tea and save your expectations.

    I always get great service at this restaurant. I also requested that some items on my Mexican Pizza not be added to the entree and the waitress made sure those items were not on my pizza.

    Selections are very nice. Main selections were very tasty! Respectfully, avoid the margarita flight - ours was awful - just pour pour and pour - the 'flavors' are bottles and the amount is miniscule. Go for the skinny marg - as good as the Mission Margarita in Riverside. Lastly - I would never go without a reservation - I made ours - we walked in were immediately seated. Those without were told was a 45min wait. Parking is truly a challenge tho you can park at surrounding businesses in the evening when they are closed.
