Guadalupe

I really wanted to love this place, as there are so few restaurants in the neighborhood. When they first opened, they were decent, and I have had occasional adequate meals there, but the food is inconsistent and the service is consistently poor. The last time I went we were one of only two table in the place, and our server forgot to put our order in. He didn't remember until 1/2 hour later, when we were sitting at the table staring at him while he was hanging out chatting with the cooks. I've been many times, in the hopes that they will get it together, but my patience has run out.

My wife & I went there for their first valentine dinner special & our last! The tables are on top of each other. The service was poor, soup was cold as well as the main course.. Never again! The drinks were good but that's all. We waited over thirty minutes for our orders that were served cold!

I have been here multiple times and really enjoy their salsa, salad, and entrees. This time I ordered their Mexican salad like I have done many times before. Only the salad that I got was NOT what was advertised. (I got lettuce, tomato, and avocado slices instead of lettuce, black beans, queso fresco, chickpeas, almonds, and tortilla strips) When I asked about it, the waiter went to ask the kitchen and simply came back to apologize without explanation. I was not pleased. I finally had to flag someone else down to look into why I couldn't get the salad I ordered. He told me the kitchen does not make that salad anymore. Shame on them for not taking it off the menu or the waiter not knowing what the kitchen does and does not make. I was not charged for the salad and the waiter came back to apologize after the meal. However, I am not sure I want to go back.

I definitely thought this place was going to be an overpriced yuppie-fest, but I was delightfully surprised. Personally, I don't think there is a better place in Inwood to get Mojitos, or Caipirinhas. Yes this place has a price tag, but nothing different than UWS or even places on Dyckman. Without a doubt, as a place to get high quality mixed drinks with friends, I would choose Guadalupe over Il Sole or Mamajuana. As for food, I loved the two times I got entrees...but am not too big on the appetizers.

The food is pretty good not great. The service, however, is poor except for one really nice attentive bartender.

Great food and atmosphere, good drinks, just stingy on their guacamole. The best value is without a doubt their Fajitas for two (about $17.00) and we get enough that we take it home after two of us eating it.

I order from Guadalupe and dine out there frequently. I think it's the best restaurant in Inwood. The food is always good, and very resonably priced. I highly recommend the chicken tacos! Yum!
