Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar Is Opening in Malden

A Mexican restaurant will soon be opening in Malden, moving into the space where a couple of Italian dining spots had previously been.

According to their website, Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar is planning to open on Florence Street, taking over the spot where Montebello Ristorante Italiano used to be, and before that, Artichokes (Montebello closed in the spring of 2010 after being in business for less than a year). While their website is still under construction, a menu has been posted, showing such items as enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, arroz con pollo, seafood soup, fish tacos, vegetarian quesadillas, rancho steak, and chile colorado. Drinks on the menu include beer, wine, sangria, and margaritas, and a children's menu is available. It appears that the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner daily.

Expect a springtime opening for Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar.

[January 12 update: Thanks to some sleuthing by a poster on Chowhound, we have learned that Mexico Lindo in Melrose appears to be behind the upcoming Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar. The menu on the Mexico Lindo site and the menu on the Guadalajara site look suspiciously alike, leading us to believe that the two dining spots are connected. Here are the links to the two menus: http://www.gmexgrill.com/MENU.html and http://www.mi-mexicolindo.com/MENU.html]

[May 1 update: A poster on the Chowhound site mentions that Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar is now open.]

The address for this new Mexican restaurant in Malden is: Guadalajara Mexican Grill and Bar, 2 Florence Street, Malden, MA, 02146. Their website can be found at http://www.gmexgrill.com/

Thanks to a poster on Chowhound for bringing this to our attention.
