- RRavsPhoenix / Arizona •11 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoIt was my first time there, my family was visiting and they had read about Amelia’s being nominated for James Beard. It was everything we hoped for and more! Service and food was exceptional. Their famous Quesabrillia were delicious and we had shrimp tacos and fish tacos were great as well!More infoAmelia's Mexican Kitchen - GrantPrice: Moderate• Mexican• East Tucson•4.5

- PPaulNew York City •39 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoIn my opinion, this Guadalajara Grill has the best Mexican food in Tucson, which is saying something, but on this visit — my first in awhile—service was an issue. The waiter was great, I don’t blame him, but it was clear that he and the other servers were each covering an excessive number of tables. It took awhile for the waiter to appear at all, then a long wait for drinks and food, and we had to ask for silverware. Again, I don’t blame the waiter at all, it’s a management issue and I saw other servers having to scurry around as well, maybe they were just short- staffed that night. So a little disappointed about that, but the food was truly outstanding, especially the table side salsa, the salmon entree and the queso fundido.More infoGuadalajara Fiesta GrillPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Midtown•4.5

- JJaniVIPPhoenix / Arizona •24 reviews4.0Dined on 16 Jan 2025Food quality and amount was very good. Service very good. Selection very good. They now charge for the salsa preparation at the table. While it was a nice touch, it is totally unecessary for a Mexican restaurant where good salsa is a given. We opted for the salsa provided with the chips. Very good.More infoGuadalajara Mexican GrillPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Midtown•3.8
