Go south, and north

BY HAVEN LINDSEY

Diners may initially go to the Guadalajara Grill for traditional Mexican dishes and familiar fare, but they invariably return for the freshness of the food and the homemade sauces that set the carne asada, tacos, enchiladas and other entrees apart from the rest.

Guadalajara Grill is true to its name – food is authentically prepared on a grill which brings out the natural juices and flavors. The south location (at 1384 Paseo del Pueblo Sur) is the original restaurant that Frederico and Martin Solis started in 1994, having learned first-hand from their father who ran a successful taco stand near Guadalajara, Mexico. A hard-work ethic and uncompromising integrity were integral to the original Mexico taco shop and that value system continues today in both south and north locations. You can almost taste the integrity in the food.
