Editorial Review for Guadalahonky's – by Peter Behle
The Scene
Nothing pretentious--just a casual, older-style Mexican restaurant. Grab a booth, order a margarita and relax.
The Drinks
Forget worrying about a giant tequila selection--the bar has Jose Cuervo and it works just fine. Pick anything from the massive list of fruit drinks (everything from "original lime" to peach colada to "mangorita") and then ask for either tequila or rum and you've got a margarita or daquiri for $4.20.
The Food
The menu's huge, so take your time. A safe choice is the chili verde burrito/cheese enchilada dinner ($8.95), but the chili verde's on the overly mild side. The taco grande ($7.50) is massive and filled with tasty shredded beef.
Many come here just for the chimichangas ($8.50). They're good if you like the fried side of life. Both of the giant combinations ($12.75 and $9.95) also feature the chimichanga.

After reading the info on the web site i decided to go there for lunch to try their "amazing" salsa. Well, as soon as we sat down and i noticed the cheap (and slightly stale) store bought chips i was skeptical. Sure enough, the salsa was not a great as touted. It basically tasted like Pace Picante with a little extra pepper and hot sauce. We ordered the 2 taco special with chicken filling. It was decent but nothing to rave about. Pretty bland for the most part. The beans were ok and the rice was forgettable. The only positives i have to say is that the service was adequate, the kids menu had a lot to choose from, and the tacos didnt seem to be very heavy and fattening. I wouldnt say i would be going out of my way to go there again. Coming from Arizona, this mexican food is sub par.
Pros: Big kid menu, not too heavy, not horrible, decent service (for lunch anyway)
Cons: atmosphere is a bit cheesey, food is bland, chips and salsa not that good

My first time visiting this what you call a restaurant was on a Friday night after work. We got there around 5:40pm we finally got served around 6:45. I got full on the chips and salsa, one thing that was good on the food quality. The rest is like paying someone to serve you a burrito with refried beans from a can! Yuck! And they are expensive too for the what you call food that they somewhat serve.
