Restaurante Alcalde

We requested vegan options while making our reservation, and I was treated to an amazing vegan tasting menu. Each plate was creative, presented beautifully, and was an exciting tasting experience. The artichoke in white mole sauce may be the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. The vegan tasting menu that was prepared for me also cost less than the regular tasting menu, which was a delightful surprise to get such a wonderful dining experience at that cost. My friends tasted several dishes and agreed that they were not only delicious, but in some cases, the best dishes of the night, including their non-vegan dishes. But they also thoroughly enjoyed their regular a la carte meals of course. An amazing fine dining experience.

Artfully crafted food in a quiet classy restaurant. Dishes were very interesting and beautifully presented.

Tasting menu at the chef's table was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to watch all of the beautiful food come together in the kitchen. The vibes were great and the food wasn't bad. Definitely had some very unique flavors and delicious bites throughout the tasting menu. All of the dishes were visually stunning. The wine pairing left something to be desired though. The pours were quite light, and they reused the same wine for consecutive courses and a couple occasions which was a little disappointing.

We visited Alcalde, the fine dining gem run by Eduardo Torres, whose impressive journey includes experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants like El Celler de Can Roca. Even without Michelin in Guadalajara, Alcalde’s well-deserved spot among the No.37 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2023 is a testament to its excellence. The tequila and wine pairings and the tasting menu were impeccable, elevating the entire dining experience, and the server who explained everything in English was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. If Michelin ever comes to Guadalajara, this restaurant would easily be a match for any of the best. Every detail commanded respect, and I was especially blown away by the incredible flavor of the mezcal worm dish — a true awakening for the taste buds! 😍👏👍

A special occasion for super fun, with unique food and atmosphere. I recommend the wine pairing with the fixed course meal.

In terms of fine dining experiences this was fantastic. Some creative dishes that pushed new flavors and combos that were fun to try and then some very well executed classics as well. Experience and service were top notch and a fun crowd. If we are being super super nit picky for a place that's top 30 in the world. There could have been some more powerful and lasting flavors in their dishes. Nothing was negative everything was great but nothing really lasted with me after the meal. Food I'd give an 8/10 relative to the level they compete at. Overall absolutely recommend and incredible value for the price.

Second time in Alcalde and it didn’t disappoint. Aquachili is delightful, pork jowl yummy and the most impressive spread this time is the sweetbread appetizers (mollejas with Mexican worm) it’s a must try if you are an adventurous foodie. Between two of us, we ordered 4 appetizers and one dessert to share and it’s plenty of food, esp when they offer tortillas for the pork jowl dish to make a few tacos out of the appetizers. The cocktails are amazing too. I would like to come back more often.

This place is phenomenal! A very well balanced menu with such amazing dishes. My favorites were the macadamia nut tart as part of the amuse bouche as well as the tyaluda and the ikura dish with caviar/uni. Sam as my server had great recommendations for cocktails. Honestly this place is one of if not the best restaurant in Latin America. Can’t wait to return soon

I'm in Guadalajara for a few weeks and I like to do a tasting menu every now and then. After doing some research and asking the community it came down to this or Xocol, but Alcalde's reservations worked out better with my schedule. It was...not good. It's possible it may have been an off day, but I was really disappointed. My gripes: 1. There was no menu. Yes, I understand tasting menus can change day by day. But seriously no printed menu that I can reference there or afterwards? Even the menu online is outdated (almost a year ago). No cocktail menu (I was told by my server "I am the menu") 2. The upcharge for caviar was egregious. It's like $700 MXN extra and my server pushed it on me like a drug dealer. Like "the dish is not meant to be eaten without it" type of shit 3. Wine pairings were irregular and sparse (eg one wine across multiple courses) and not particularly congruent 4. Service was great in the beginning when they were selling me things and then immediately dropped off. All of this would be somewhat excusable if the food had been mind-blowing. Not a single dish was. They ranged from mediocre to good (oh, and the dish that "absolutely needed caviar")? No, it did not. Photos attached, can't tell you what anything is. And I paid handily for this FYI

What an amazing treat to have dined here, one of the top 50 restaurants in the Latin America region. The food and the ambiance was perfect, and the staff are fully bilingual. Our waiter, Sam, was incredibly well-versed in the wine pairing and curated the entire meal, while allowing us to order an a-la-carte supplement as well. My absolute favorite part of this dining experience was how on-point the pairing was, I'd say that about 50% of the pairing were excellent, 5-10% were extraordinary. We also got the opportunity to sample some rare tequila that matched well with the dishes. My least favorite dish was probably the last meat/warm dish (sausage-based), but that is due to my salt-averse taste buds. Overall, let loose your belt and your wallet (depends on how many mixed drinks you get) and have a fantastic time!

Absolutely fabulous, 12/10. Everything was so chic and pretty and amazing and creative. Great food and great space.

Such an amazing dinner. Every course was prepared so elegantly and the presentation everything. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Guadalajara. The staff and service was impeccable. The ambiance was nice and welcoming.

I was very excited to try Alcalde after reading about the head chef's background including training in Spain and at Copenhagen's Noma restaurant. We were seated at the bar, which gave us a view of the kitchen. We watched the kitchen staff work seamlessly to prepare each dish. Our waiter guided us through the menu, explaining the origins of each unique dish. We sampled a variety of foods, including pickled hibiscus flowers, insects, aged duck in mole and guava sauce, and a popular Jalisco dessert called buñuelos. We ordered the wine pairing and were excited to get some white Mexican wines from Ensenada, along with a couple of mescal shots. A succession of incredible desserts brought the meal to a satisfying end. Celebrating my birthday at Alcalde was a memorable experience. The dining was exquisite, and the ambiance was beautiful, truly a unique and delicious experience.

This place is phenomenal! A very well balanced menu with such amazing dishes. My favorites were the macadamia nut tart, the tyaluda and the ikura dish with caviar/uni. Caviar on flan was also such an incredible combination. The ambiance is elevated homey bistro vibes. Sam my server had great recommendations for cocktails. Honestly a top restaurant in all of Latin America.

The food here is an experience of culture & ingredients that stimulate your taste buds like never before. The flavors take you on a journey that's rarely seen in high end restaurants. Service was great, with attention to every single detail, love how they explain the food courses & how to eat them. They kept bringing new silverware & clean the table after each course. Ambience was fancy with instrumental background music. Everyone was dressed up fancy, but I went in my workout clothes without any issues. Also they were fully booked for dinner, so I ended up going early at 3:30pm and got seated right away.

We made the reservation a few months in advance and we were so excited to try Alcalde. This experience did not disappoint. We did the 10 course plus the wine pairing. Some reviews state the pour was small but it was quite nice and just enough. We enjoyed every dish and our server Samuel was incredible. He really took us on a culinary journey and every bite was delicious. I highly recommend.

Severely disappointed in the 10 course tasting menu. There were 3 'fresh' courses, 4 meat and 3 dessert courses. Of the 4 meat courses - 1 was fish crudo, 1 was ants, 1 was pork, worms and crickets and 1 was little bits of tongue. I don't eat pork so the team removed the pork just leaving the worms and crickets. I like eating bugs, no problem there, but to remove and not replace with a more substantive meat I find lazy and discourteous to the large population of people who don't eat pork for religious reasons. Negligent truly. The final dessert course was 1 piece of gelatin with smoked agave. To be included in the tasting menu... again I think it's lazy. You have 10 moments to tell a story and for your final taste you decide to deliver 1 soft bite of sugar? Just call it 9 courses and give the marshmallow complimentary. Many of the courses were 1-4 bites which I actually enjoy because it allows you to truly taste without it getting too full but at some point it's like ok what am I paying for. Especially since there weren't any robust meat dishes (given I don't eat pork and they just removed it) I thought some dishes were exploratory and unique, I thought some dishes were boring and lacking flavor and some dishes had poor presentation. I would not recommend the tasting menu and am frankly confused how Alcalde got such recognition over its neighboring fine dining competitors.

This place thinks it's all that. Snooty staff that maybe hate their jobs? No smiling, no passion, just over hyped place with nothing on the menu to blow you away for the amount of snoot you need to put up with to eat here. Maybe it's a hot spot for locals who want to impress. Spend your dollars elsewhere. Do go see the art collection in the many rooms. And check out the architecture next store at sister restaurant Octo.

If you sit at the bar overlooking the kitchen they require you do the ten course tasting menu. But it's definitely worth it. I did the tasting menu. Each dish had a very unique and local inspired flavors. Dishes vary in size from one bite to full plates. I went at 7pm on a Wednesday and didn't need a reservation.

Alcalde was a great choice while being in town and wanting great food. The service was great, the Ambiance is relaxed nothing too crazy and the food was definitely different. You have to be willing to try new things if you want to participate in the tasting menu.

Alcalde,is a Must if your in town. Thank You to The Chef and his crew! Very eclectic cuisine :) We enjoyed every flavor and texture. To start we ordered Aguachile verde de camaron, & "No tetela" de hongos, For entree we had Pulpo acompañado de berenjena japonesa, Pieza de lechón al horno con mole barranqueño, Pescado alcaparrado con alcachofas y crema untuosa de papa. We had no room for desert we even forgot we had ordered it, But it was soooo delicious we finished both. For desert we ordered Arroz con leche servido con helado de canela,& Tarta de queso Stilton, helado de triple vainilla y trufa rayada. Must try both!!! Thank you to our waitress she was knowledgeable and attentive. Thank you to the other gentleman whom was also helpful making sure we had full glasses of water throughout our dinner.

Can't say enough good things about this place. Well designed interior. Incredible food. Friendly, attentive and informative staff. The experience was just perfect. Came for my partner's birthday and did the tasting menu with drink pairing. Super creative and beautiful dishes. Definitely THE spot for a special occasion.

Came here after seeing it on Latin America's Top Restaurants list. We were greeted and seated right away with our 7:30 reservation. When we sat, we found that the QR menu was all in Spanish. I understand basic Spanish, but because of the uniqueness of this food, we found it hard to figure out what we wanted. The servers did speak some English, so we asked for recommendations. We ordered 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 drinks. I wish I could remember what everything was, but again with the language barrier, that was difficult. My cocktail had tequila, and was described as a balanced drink - not too sweet, not too savory. It did end up being right in the middle, and I enjoyed it. The crispy beef appetizer was different than anything I have had before - very light. While not bad, I probably wouldn't order it again. My husband had the pork entree. The meat was very tender and the plate was presented nicely. My octopus was cooked perfectly. The sauce was a little heavy, but still tasty. I think the only reason for not going with 5 stars is just the prices in comparison to other delicious Guadalajara restaurants. While still a good deal vs what we would have paid in the US, it was our priciest meal of our trip. Overall helpful service, pristinely clean, and beautifully presented food.

An absolute dump fire. Start to finish zero service and food gross. The place is clean and that about it but my cup w water smelled bad.

Alcalde is everything you can hope for. The service was top notch. Emiliano was superb as was Samuel. The restaurant was tastefully decorated. The star of the show was the good. Dish after dish blew me away. The flavors were robust but balanced at the same time. The artichoke and coconut dish by far were my favorites.

One of the best restaurants in GDL. We had the 8 plates from the chef. And I'm glad we did. Everything was so tasty Uno de los mejores restaurantes de GDL. Escogimos los 8 tiempos del chef. Y fue la mejor decisión. Todo estaba riquísimo.

The food and service was definitely an experience. Every food item we received was unique and popping with flavor.

From to start to finish everything was great. We did the tasting menu with caviar. (No need to add the caviar didn't add much). Think it was about 7 courses. Favorites were the curry dish that you make tacos. Fish in clam shell. Drink were good, got a paper plane and old fashion.

Yeah, this is the place. Party of 7 guys here on a business trip, but there were lots of couples dining as well. We ordered a bottle of wine to start and Ricardo crushed the presentation. He brought out 3 bottles from the cellar and gave us a run down on them to make sure that the one we ordered was the one we really wanted. Then he came out with a decanter and poured with the precision of a master sommelier. Every movement was perfect and his presentation of the wine was top notch. Bravo. The bottle didn't last long and we all switched to beers, and they had a killer West Coast IPA that we went into next to go with the appies that Ricardo had recommended. The risotto and bone marrow, the shrimp aqua something, and the pork jowl were all amazing, but once the entrees arrived, there wasn't a dry eye at the table. Everyone either ordered the suckling pig or octopus and devoured it all in silent bliss. The epic finale was, as we were leaving the restaurant, Ricardo was at the door to wish us a pleasant evening and gave us each his card. Who does that? Bravo, Ricardo and we will back to do more damage to your wine cellar and promise to order desert next time.

Everything was perfect - an exceptional experience and wonderful tasting menu. Sam, our waiter, was knowledgeable, pleasant, funny. I'd like to return to GDL if for no reason to dine at Alcalde again.

I can't say enough of this restaurant! Not only is the food and drinks outrageously good but the ambiance, staff is amazing. You're not just getting superb food but also an experience. My son brought me here for my birthday, definitely a moment to remember.

A delicious meal perfectly paired with a classy and reassuring ambiance. We came here for my birthday dinner, and easily made reservations through open table. Our hotel was seconds away, so getting here was a breeze. There was no wait once we checked in with the host, and we were seated immediately. Our server spoke English well and was able to recommend some dishes and drinks while we started to eat the crusty bread with a soft spooned pat of seasoned butter. From reading reviews, we went in wanting the ensalada nopales. It arrived first, along with the scallop ceviche. While the salad was good, it was not totally to our tastes. The ceviche more than made up for this, especially with the tostadas that accompanied it. Both dishes were plated beautifully as well. Next was the gordita requeson, served in a familiar verde sauce with nuts. Once we cleaned the plate, our entrees came out- the lamb special and the octopus. Both were amazing and we struggled to pick a favorite. I noticed that the tomato broth tasted a little of pork, making the small end of the octopus resemble a chewy piece of bacon. After a spoon of guava sorbet for a palate cleanser, we shared the jericalla, topped with a spoon of vanilla ice cream and a blanket of powdered nuts. The creamy texture of the jericalla was a standout, and although we did not order other desserts I would highly suggest ordering this. Our meal came to $1800 mxp (~$100 usd), beyond worth it for the quality of food and service and mind boggling for us as americans. Tasting menu as of september 2019: $1400 mxp for 11 courses for each person. We didn't order this but we weren't able to find this info on yelp or their website.

This is a charming wooden box. Think Oslo does Guadalajara. It is very romantic and suitable for a proposal of marriage or one that your spouse shouldn't know about. Colored globes hang down evoking Christmas at your beach house, and, of course, the best part of Christmas is ripping into the carefully wrapped packages and tearing them open with your teeth. You'll have the same intense joy once the food starts coming. If Guadalajara is the Paris of Mexico then Alcalde is the Taillevent of Guadalajara. Prime real estate are the breeze kissed balcony tables overlooking a busy but beautiful tree lined boulevard. Watch the Federales go Code 3 while sipping a cool one. The Vibe: Who goes there? Upscalers, Uber hailers, and timid tourists tired of eating at The Quinta Real Hotel where they're staying up the street every night. The Staff: Attentive, pleasant, efficient, and genuinely interested in making sure your experience is memorable. It was. They are happy to please you in two languages which is more than I can say about mis tres Chihuahua's who enthusiastically ignore me in any language. The Bar Program: Ask and ye shall receive. Hey, it's Mexico. Margaritas, please. I dove into a Tamarind version the color of a Chocolate Labrador. It was as sweet as my Grandma and as Sour as my Step-Father. Tequilas, Mezcals, and a tour of Valle de Guadalupe fill out the spiral notebook booze and wine list, that is longer than a US Immigration Application. The Food: I heard the food was good here. Now you're hearing it. Well, it isn't good actually. It's fabulous. If Alcalde was in LA or New York you'd be beggin' for a table 60 days out on Tock and happy to sit by or in the restroom. Keep your paws off the double crisp Tortillas in the basket served with Crema (Mexi-sour cream, smooth as fresh sheets and peppery tangy.) Okay, go ahead. Have one, but just one. The Special of the day was Scallop Ceviche with just a trace of Lime shining through. Diced Jicama, Radish and a brunoise of Celery were all along for the ride and all bathing luxuriously in a Vanilla emulsion. Now, you may grab several more crispy Tortillas to scoop a Scallop with. A fresh Garden Salad rivaled anything The French Laundry grabs from their own nearby plot. Listed as seasonable greens and vegetables, it was an Hieronymous Bosch hill of lovely leafy baby jewels punctuated with micro herbs and an angle's soft touch of vinaigrette. It was like eating the nursery's nursery. Next there was a fresh Cheese of Chef's choice Tamale settled in a cuddle of creamy corn and Anaheim Chili Sauce served with sauteed Spinach, Almond bites and Macadamia Nuts. The dish read like instructions on how to use the toilet in a Japanese Hotel room but it tasted like the winning entry at the Bocuse d'Or. It was simply divine. Do not dally, have the tamale. Finally, the piece de resistance took center stage. A baked Suckling Pig in a lake of Mole as black and dark as a Trump future. It was so good I asked for a straw to slurp it and then used my shirt tail to sop up anything I missed. I eventually got to the mound of Risotto next to the Celery Root puree inside a Grape Leaf. (Think Mexi-dolma). This was a explosion of taste and texture appropriate for a King, Drug Lord or the dining table on Olympus. The pig skin was cracklin' crunchy, the meat moist, this was porcine perfection. This place should not be missed by rational adults. The worst thing about bidding farewell to Guadalajara is waking up far from Alcalde.

The main dishes weren't very good. We were pretty disappointed. It's pricey and not worth the money we paid to eat here. The octopus wasn't cooked very well. I just wanted to write this quick post to warn any other travelers from coming here.

The value for money is great, around 900 pesos for a 7 course tasting menu. The menu is executed at least 2 star Michelin level. Service is also great. The only weakness is their restaurant decor is not as impressive or private as some upscale restaurants in the US. But the food is stand out, it doesn't sacrifice innovation for taste and they are not scarier to add a little spice to their food

Exceptional. Nice space with fun open kitchen. Server was great. The tasting menu could be mixed with the ala carte, which allowed us to try almost everything. Wine suggestions were excellent(Mogor-Baden Cab!!) We had 20 dishes in total so too much to detail. Standouts included the two insect dishes ( for which Alcalde has a well deserved reputation) which included the ant tetelas and green curry with crickets. The pork with mole and suckling pig were perfectly prepared. For deserts, the macerated hibiscus with rosemary ice cream and chocolate tamale can't be missed. Worth making a trip.

My trip to GDL went up a few notches due to this dining experience. Everything about this place is great- the ambience, food, service! Go try it.

Not what I expected. But definitely not in a good way. I had researched this chef and this restaurant as well so I was excited to do the 14 item tasting menu. I think this was the biggest mistake I made. The items didn't pair well in a tasting menu and there was no chemistry. I have heard how the head chef Francisco Ruano is pushing the bounds of Mexican cuisine. I'm whole heartedly a supporter of that mission which is to take what is a very misunderstood and under appreciated cuisine to a higher level. However I think sometimes it's best to walk before we run. The chef takes risks with his dish selections in his tasting menu. Some are a hit some are average but there are some that are an absolute miss and I think that is the main issue here. There is no need to make someone eat rotten fruit in order to get them to appreciate or understand the diversity of Mexican cuisine. In all honesty the regular menu items are better than those on the tasting menu. In the end the tasting menu was a rather disappointing experience. The suckling pig was a really good dish and the Jericalla desert was actually amazing. I wish this chef and the restaurant all the best of luck but I just feel like they are missing the target on most of their dishes and the style in which they prepare the dishes on their tasting menus. Also LA Times and Eater food critic Bill Esparza recommends this place but I would still say it's a caution sign for me.

Best service and one of the best Mexican meals I've ever had. Everything was noteworthy and made me want to come back again!

Lovely meal to be enjoyed at your leisure. Service was friendly and professional. Had the 8-course tasting menu for $1350 per person. Flavors and variety were great. Also added the suckling pig dish, which was so tender! This place is on the pricier side, but we enjoyed our meal a lot.

Incredible food and service! Highly recommend the tasting with pairing. Our hostess was knowledgeable and engaging.

I would say overall it's pretty good although I don't think it reaches the greatness that some have tried to describe it as-The suckling pig dish was very good and tasty although the tortillas that came with it seemed almost like they were store-bought. very nice service from the staff especially Elizabeth she is a rockstar and was doing seemingly everything. I will say charging six US dollars for a bottle of Italian water is rip off and when you are charging over 300 pesos for a glass of wine they should be a little more generous with the pour....

Great experience! The service was fantastic. They have unique drinks that are balanced and tasty. Went with the tasting menu and I was not disappointed.

I really had a hard time figuring out the star rating for this review. Was it 3? Was it 4? I don't feel I can give it 5 stars but there were definite standouts!! First, we did the tasting menu. I can't even tell you how many courses, but we requested that certain dishes be included in the menu--the traditional mexican ones. The mole, the suckling pig, the tamale, the tortilla soup and a nopales salad. We might as well have just ordered these dishes (for satisfactions sake) but we did want to be surprised...but we were so full at the end it was making me physically ill. It was also a little quickly paced, not enough time to take a break between courses. We asked them to slow it down and give us a break. It might have been that we were there on a Monday night and it wasn't super busy...but we still felt it was rushed FOR SO MUCH FOOD.

Small and intimate space with excellent service. Great attention to detail, the meal was a beautiful work of art and the flavors were the best we had in Guadalajara. Hands down the best restaurant we visited, thank you so much for a great experience.

Wooooowww!! Food is very delicious. Cocktail is mindblowing. Service is fantastic. Ambiance has fancy feels. Price is definitely worth it. If u compare it to USD then it's cheap. We had two 7 course tasting menu and 6 cocktails in total with tax and tip for $128 USD. Everything was so delicious but i had to emphasize the meringue desssert and avocado cocktail. It's to die for. We went there on our last day in Guadalajara and i regret it. Otherwise, i would have eaten there everyday until we left!!! It's a must must must try if you are in Guadalajara.

Modern, chic Mexican cuisine, after Allium and Bruna, round out the top three must-go restaurants in Guadalajara. Wifey ordered a nopal salad that was otherworldly. Pleasant service, great cocktails wine list - they had Raicilla, with such a smoky flavor, a great pleasure. Linden flower palate cleanser was from another planet - never tasted anything like it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We have been following a few chefs around Mexico every chance we get to escape south for the weekend - we were super excited to visit and try all The deliciousness we heard that Alcalde had to offer unfortunately didn't meet all our expectations . Rating is more around 3.5 ** Food overall was Good but it wasn't as Great as any of these ranked places we have tried . One thing I must say - their "frijoles puercos" we're over the top the best ones I have had EVER (regrows beans) What we tried (there was a big group of us) APPS/SIDES: 1. Bone marrow soup (7.5/10) strong flavor - small quantity 2. Gordita (7.5/10) 3. Aguachile (9/10) 4. Frijoles Puercos MAIN : 1. Salmon (7.5- but the side gravy bounced it up to an 8.5) 2. Beef (don't remember what it was) but it was the best one 9/10 DESSERTS: 1. Tamal 9/10 2. Jericaya 10/10 also a must try Service was good - we were a bigger group so they did forget about one or two appetizers and we had to remind them - there was an incident and no acknowledgment by upper management or even something reflected on the check . They do offer a set menu but only when the full Table is doing it so maybe that 4-6 course is a better experience .

What a surprise and delight this place is! The decor is an interesting juxaposition that foreshodows the menu to come. Raw, old-world plaster walls, covered in a gallery presentation of artsy canvas prints. The floors are adored with graphic art deco tile, and midcentury modern furniture gathers under industrial farmhouse lighting. The menu is equally ecclectic and rich. Every bite of food was interesting, delicious and thought provoking. It's a can't miss if you are lucky enough to find yourself in this very special part of the world.

After seeing Alcalde on the World's 50 best restaurants list, I knew I had to check it out. Although there were some small details lacking with service, the food more than made up for it. The chef's menu is full of unique takes on classic dishes, and represents a great value.

Indeed! This place provides quality and creative food and drinks! However service was very disappointing, and that killed our experience. We were excited to make room in our busy schedule to make a quick visit, since the chef from Tikuun (where we had an awesome dinner experience) sent us here. - The complimentary cream with fresh bread was very interesting and very tasty! - Their Aguachile was good - The Gordita was just ok - The Beans with pork were AMAZING!!! The best! We also tried the Hibiscus Margarita which was awesome, and their truly memorable Pineapple-jalapeño drink! They had plenty of staff, and our waiter was not attentive and didn't follow up. It was sooo disappointing! 3-stars due to lackluster service.

Great staff and solid conversation of the intricacies of dishes, the vibe and style is very comfortable, and the kitchen is a good looking machine. Thank you, chef.

This restaurant is gonna spark an amazing food movement in this region. I typically (Mexican friends please don't hate me) can't stand beans. I don't know why, chalk it up to my picky Nicky childhood days. Regardless I wanted seconds when I ate theirs. Everything is so delicious. Open 1 in Los Angeles, or at least Tijuana?! The owner was so rad and down to earth. Offered my buddy and me a free glass of wine and shot the shit w/us for like half and hr between cooking things! Seriously, he's like a younger, bigger Anthony Bourdain. Felt like we had been friends for years. I love that kinda vibe! Man I wish I was back there now w/a glass of wine in hand over ordering food...

Wonderful surprise. The food was phenomenal and so was the service. I especially enjoyed the desserts and the use of flowers in the entrees.

So far the best restaurant I have tried in Guadalajara! Fresh seafood and very inventive and creative chef! They use many unique foods, combining them to give a very interesting flavor! Excellent service and dont forget their cocktails! Again very unique blend of flavors. A must try restaurant!

Great food! Excellent presentation! And the drinks!!! Thumbs up! The mini hand made tortillas were delicious.

Best meal in Guadalajra, 4th visit to this city. Aguachile Beef tartare Octopus Fish of the day Jericalla Arroz con leche
