Guadalahonky's - Draper

My last review for Guad 's was over eight years ago, so I thought I 'd give a quick update seeing my wife and I went there for dinner on Valentine 's Day last week. We didn 't plan on coming here for dinner as initially we patronized an Indian Restaurant just west of the I 15 Freeway (just off 12300 S. but that place turned out to be a disaster (you can read that 1 star review here on Yelp as well... So, after walking out of that first restaurant we drove over to Guads as we knew we 'd get a good meal...and we did. We walked in and were seated immediately, and had the pleasure of having Angelique T as our server. We got our obligatory salsa and chips, which were great (with a little kick in the salsa , and ordered away. My wife had the Combo 10 (two cheese enchiladas covered with cheese and enchilada sauce with a side Tamale, and I had the Chile Colorado Dinner. My wife had a beer, and I had the house Margarita (rocks and salt, natch. Great tasting food, and my Pork Chile Colorado with the pork chunks/sauce inside and smothered on the top along with Monterey Jack was de lish! Our only complaints were 1. that the place closed down at 8:30 PM (giving us about 30 minutes of ordering bandwidth after arriving there at 8:00 PM ...and 2. that Angelique (knowing the closing time didn 't come by and get my order for a beer BEFORE THE RESTAURANT CLOSED! She literally came by at 8:32 PM and when I asked for a draught beer, she said the restaurant was closed and it was against the law to place another order. Meanwhile I still had half a plate of food to finish. Bummer. So, I switched to the ice water...but was still not happy that she didn 't come by sooner. Oh well. Four Stars for good service and very good food! Thanks!

We hadn't been here in a while so we decided to go for dinner on a a Tuesday night . We got seated right away even though we had a hard time finding a parking spot . We got chips salsa right away . The salsa is really good fresh . The chips are crisp good . It took the waitress a bit to get to us to take our order looks like she had a lot of tables to manage . We ordered the #4 combo chicken chimichanga smothered in enchilada sauce with a cheese enchilada this came with rice beans . My husband got the combo #2 . This was chili verde enchilada chili Colorado enchilada , cheese enchiladas beef taco with rice beans . My husband loved his meal the chili Colorado was just the right amount of heat . The taco was crisp the beef was flavorful. The rice beans were good also . It comes with sour cream . The portion size is big . My chicken chimi was mostly dark thigh meat very little white breast meat . It didnt have much flavor. I did not like it at all . The cheese enchilada was really good . They have changed the rice it is much better not as hard as it use to be. The beans were good with cheese melted on it . They have Coke products . We had to ask for a refill . It took us quite a while to get our check .

Food 2, Service 3, Ambiance 2, Price per value 2, Cleanliness 2 My husband and I have been living in SL for over 25 years. For decades, we have passed Guadalahonkys when traveling in Draper. We always got a kick out of their name. After COVID, when we noticed they survived, I told my husband, We should try that place one day. They 've been around forever, so they must be good. . Sadly, this is not the case. In their defense, two waiters recommended the same thing the chicken chimichanga and neither of us chose that. But a restaurant should not stand on one or two items alone when they have a menu 15 times that size. In any case, they need to do a deep cleaning/dusting on the place. The servers were kind but non-engaging. I told the waitress my husbands dish was awful. She did offer to get the manager, but my husband hates that type of stuff, and he had planned to eat his dinner regardless. So, I told her it would upset him, and no thank you. One plus is that they give you chips and salsa as soon as you sit down and refill them throughout the night. They were acceptable; not bad, and not great. I ordered the grilled fish tacos. They were underwhelming. My husband got the sweet pork Chimi. The pork had hard, dry, burnt pieces. It tasted like they threw sweet sauce over overcooked pork to try and save it. I was flabbergasted. Bottomline, we will not return. And I need to trust my fellow yelpers. In my defense, I didn 't check the reviews until we arrived as we went because it was dinnertime, and we were in the area, and we had decided to try it one day. I wish we had left.

Food was great, as always, and our server Angelique was very busy but very attentive! Great late lunch experience.

I've been living in Utah for about 3 yrs now. I can officially say, I found the worst restaurant. Im sure prison food would taste better than what they're serving. Come to think of it, it's the worst restaurant I've came across in my entire life. Really wish I took a picture of the food to warn others of what to be expected. To the owner, Cut your losses and find something you're actually passionate about.
