Guadalajara Restaurant honored by city

Congratulations to Guadalajara!

Their food is excellent, I've never had anything less than stellar service, and the ambiance is comfortable and charming. And the salsa is the best in the world by far and I do love salsa!

"Guadalajara, a popular downtown restaurant, has been named the city's Business of the Quarter.

Mayor Bob Magee presented the plaque proclaiming the honor to Guadalajara owner Ricardo Solano at a City Council meeting earlier this week.

As mayor, it is Magee's responsibility to decide who should be singled out as Business of the Quarter.

Magee told the audience that the restaurant, a fixture at Main and Graham streets for 22 years, deserved recognition for reopening in May, only 2 1/2 months after a fire in the kitchen shut the operation down. The cause of the fire was electrical, fire officials said."

Guadalajara is open again!

Guadalajara Restaurant on Main st. in Lake Elsinore is by FAR my favorite place to eat. Everything on the menu is delicious and in very large portions, and at very reasonable prices. The ambiance is relaxing and the service has never been anything but top notch.

And I can't find the words to describe how amazingly perfect their salsa is! The salsa at Guadalajara is one of the items I have on my "food I would take to a desert island to live on" list, and must be experienced at least once in life. I have eaten a lot of salsa over the years, and Guadalajara's salsa is by far the best.

I'm so happy they have reopened!

"LAKE ELSINORE ---- The tortillas are steaming, the asada is sizzling and the margaritas are flowing again at Guadalajara 2 1/2 months after the popular downtown restaurant and landmark shut down because of a fire.

To celebrate the reopening, which occurred without fanfare earlier this month, the Lake Elsinore Valley Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribboncutting at noon Wednesday at the restaurant at 105 N. Main St., a spokeswoman for the restaurant said.

The restaurant closed March 2 after a fire broke out early that morning. Firefighters arrived and contained the blaze to the kitchen. The cause of the fire was electrical, fire officials have said.

While owner Ricardo Solano had estimated the restaurant would be closed about a week, the work took much longer.

Guadalajara has been a fixture at North Main and Graham streets for 22 years, Rosie O'Connor said. A sister restaurant run by the family ---- Guadalajara Grill ---- operates on Jefferson Avenue in Temecula."
