Guadalajara ‘coming soon' to this Fresno corner. What it means for restaurant's fans
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant’s “coming soon” sign at Olive and Fowler avenues has some people in Fresno buzzing. What is the popular restaurant planning? A permanent food truck. The restaurant, with its longtime location on Weber Avenue, plans to park a food truck on the property of Fresno Roofing Co., near the southwest corner. It will be open from about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day except Tuesday, said Richard Garcia, part of the family that owns the restaurant. Garcia’s brother-in-law is manager at Fresno Roofing. “The owners always come to the restaurant and eats, and they’re always like, ‘Why don’t you set up your trailer there?’” So they made it happen. The food truck will have the same menu as the 38-year-old restaurant, including Guadalajara’s popular chile verde plate with rice and beans. Tacos, fajitas and the camarones a la diabla, a spicy shrimp dish, will be on the menu. All the dishes will have homemade tortillas too. Breakfast burritos will be available for morning commuters, along with family dinners for the after-work crowd. Exactly when the truck will open is still up in the air. The family has had the truck for a while, but haven’t used it
