The Guadalajara Grill is doing TI’s at its new location, 4901 E Broadway Blvd in Tucson to open in March. The 7,795-square-foot restaurant is a former TGI Friday, built in 1983. Dahlstrom 4901 Broadway, LLC (Terry Dahlstrom) of Tucson recently purchased the property for $1.06 million ($136 PSF) and leased it to Guadalajara Grill.
One of Tucson’s favorite Mexican food restaurants since 2002, the Guadalajara Fiesta Grill at 750 N Kolb, at Speedway & Kolb, stood out in the city full of many fine Mexican restaurants and was always found on the local lists for “Best Marguaritas”. This past August, it sadly went up in flames, just two months after the Guadalajara Original Grill on Prince Road closed because of fire. The Guadalara Original Grill at 1220 E Prince reopened in November.
The only thing more Mexican than tequila is mariachi and it seems a shame to have one without the other; both will be back at the new Broadway location. With a newly updated food and beverage menu and the same traditional Mexican food preparation.
