Guadalajara Taqueria - Brenwood

Delicious food, excellent service, and located in a fantastic tavern!

The food is amazing! I ordered the Quesabrillas, and they were incredibly tasty and delicious! I will definitely be returning here again!

I left a 20% tip out of goodwill, but the staff member was mostly on her phone and didn’t engage with us in a friendly manner. Her level of interaction was no better than that of a fast-food employee, yet we paid $26 for just two burritos (before tip), which felt very overpriced for the quality. We also noted a consistent feeling of awkwardness that seemed to linger from the previous owners of the Emporium. It genuinely felt uncomfortable to be there, as if we were intruding while trying to buy something. Overall, I hate to say this because we truly want to support local businesses, but we believe in quality and service as well—so we recommend going elsewhere. We attempted to inform them about some inaccuracies on Google Maps, such as their hours not being up-to-date and them not appearing in search results unless you use their exact name. Unfortunately, the staff seemed rushed even with no one else in line. For our meal, we chose two burritos: a Super Pastor Burrito and a California Asada Burrito. The taste was just average, comparable to the drive-thru California Burrito restaurants in Pittsburg, CA—definitely not a compliment. I've rated them one star because I used to enjoy going to Sticky Chicken Ribs when it was in the area; it was a relaxing spot where the kids could play games. The staff there, though often having their off days, were still approachable and could be made to smile with a little effort. On Mother’s Day, after finishing work, my family wanted to take me out for a treat. We knew many places were closing soon, so we planned to get takeout or find an open spot. Google indicated they were open until 8 PM, but when we arrived at 7:42 PM, the doors were locked.

$38 for two crunchy tacos, 4 asada tacos, 1 shrimp taco and 2 Jarritos. I'd be happy paying that if the food was memorable and or better. Taste was ok, meat was cold in my tacos. We were the only ones inside on a Sunday afternoon and it still took about20-25 minutes to be served. Only good thing here were the salsas. That's all.
