Guadalajara Goodness
Guadalajara Grill is best known for its tableside salsa making.
But after searching Tucson for the best margarita in town, I found they also have delicious house margaritas I also found Emma Holzman, owner of Guadalajara Grill who welcomed us in during the middle of the lunch rush to serve us margaritas and tell us about herself.
Emma had an immediately apparent warmth about her and an obvious knack for customer service. A native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, Emma learned how to cook from her mother who made enchiladas for her elementary school. After graduating, Emma moved to Alaska where she met her husband, Seth. They decided to move to Tucson as it was an easier transition for Seth than moving to Guadalajara. With a mutual love for cooking and entertaining, the Holzmans opened Guadalajara Grill on Prince Road. After developing a reputation of great food and friendly service, Guadalajara Grill moved into a larger building down the street to accomodate the influx of loyal customers. While there, I was told that the infamous patio is on its way and the shirts of the employees confirmed that as you can see below.
I'm a sucker for chimichangas so I had to try Guadalajara's Carne Asada Chimichanga. I eat a lot but even I couldn't finish this dish. But I definitely tried, as it was DELICIOUS! I even took the rest home and for the first time, my leftovers didn't have the chance to become science experiments! That's right, I ate the rest later. I was so pleased with the margaritas, the food, and the friendly service, I wonder why I haven't made this a staple in my restaurant recommendations in the past?
