Can a stomach smile? I think so, because I’m sure my stomach was positively beaming after the delicious meal I consumed at Guadalajara De Dia II Corp. on 566 Seneca Ave. in Ridgewood. These tacos are absolutely delicious, and I’m going to do my best to try and describe to you what make these some of the best tacos in our neighborhood.
Almost everyday, I walk past Guadalajara De Dia II after exiting the Seneca M Station on my way home from work. The fairly large space sits on a prime corner plot, where Seneca Ave and Menahan Street come together. The owner, Isabel Ponce, said he started the restaurant 12 years ago, and has been running it ever since.
This wasn’t my first time to Guadalajara. In fact, it’s become my hands-down-favorite taco spot in all of Ridgewood. And you can trust me—I lived ten years of my life in Texas, where I survived on tacos. I know a good taco, and I give these tacos ten stars out of five! I like Guadalajara because it’s not trying to be glamorous or fancy—it’s completely genuine. What you see is what you get: fresh, simple, authentic food.
