Mexican Restaurants in Wheatland

“Love the atmosphere, the fun colors and the great food!!!!! Top notch!!!“

“Ok, so I’m one of those Mexicans who only barely resemble the rest of my family. I say this because while I look like a pasty-looking old white guy, I grew up eating what I called food - which others call Mexican food. True Mexican food is only vaguely related to mainstream USA based Mexican restaurant food that is better described as Tex-mex. Guadalajara restaurant is the closest I’ve ever come to what I grew up with, up til I found them in Colorado I was just serially disappointed in every Mexican food place that people recommended. If I were Gordon Ramsey I’d advise them to drastically trim the large variety of things they serve. I hope they never do, because occasionally I want to rediscover a taste of a dish I had 50 years ago and Guadalajara usually has it. Turns out that the Guadalajara restaurant is owned by the same folk that own the Colorado locations, it was like a miracle discovering this restaurant. There are a couple of things that I wish were different, but making real refried beans is something that takes 2-3 days, so their refried resemble the same stuff the others buy and use, but the non-refried beans are the real thing. Like meat? “molcajete” will stuff you silly. My childhood food was not bathed in what folks call ‘green chili’ - or it’s red version. most of their stuff won’t have much, if any, heat derived from chili pepper use, grandma and every one I knew had a small bowl of chili on the table, so you could heat up your palate as much as you desire - dousing things with hot sauce is a good way to cover up inferior ingredients or poor taste, you won’t need it here - but you can get it if you just ask. I moved from central California to Colorado, now I’ve retired to platte county - and Guadalajara was like a miracle. I’ve yet to send anything back, and I’m notorious with my family for doing so. Their kitchen knows food, I trust them - you should too.“
