    This was the perfect choice for dinner with friends before the Robert Earl Keen concert at the House of Blues. Thanks to Arturo for making our dining experience even more special.

    The food was very bland—salmon tacos, chicken tacos. Salsa was delicious. Servers were polite and attentive. Go for the service but definitely not the food.

    The creamy poblano bisque is one of the best soups in Houston...so delicious! I had the shrimp tacos for lunch and the shrimp was outstanding! super crunchy and hot. I love the del Centro location, we had lunch here and then walked to Minute Maid Park for an Astros game. Very convenient.

    Guadalajara is scratch made food that always delivers. This family-run restaurant upholds quality, service and value and has done so for over 30 years in the Houston market. Would recommend Guadalajara del Centro any time you're in the downtown area for a concert, game, or theater event.

    The service and food was exceptional. It was not a long wait to receive our food. Their Lime-fajitas are my favorite dish, well prepared and seasoned.
