Alcalde

Exceptional food and service

Alcalde was fantastic. Highly suggest it to anyone local or visiting Guadalajara. As an English speaker with minimal Spanish, the wait staff were happy to accommodate me and helped me navigate their tasting menu. I sat at the bar that overlooked the kitchen and I suggest that if you are traveling alone or have any interest in the kitchen work. Would definitely come back!

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.

GRAN LUGAR CON UN GRAN CHEF Y EXCELENTE COMIDA. CADA PLATILLO ES UNA FUSIÓN DE PRODUCTOS Y SABORES MEXICANOS.

The food was great. The service was also perfection. The staff is really nice and friendly. They all seem very passionate about the food.

Excelente comida la cual hace un guiño a la comida clasica mexicana, pero con un toque mas moderno.

The tasting menu was diverse and well-executed, delivering bold flavors while exercising restraint. Our “plates to treasure” included slow-cooked lamb that was deftly balanced with green vegetables and legumes, and a delicate tomato broth garnished with mixed greens and fresh fruit. Seated next to the open kitchen it was evident to us that Chef Ruano paid equal attention to his staff and to his guests, clearly enjoying his craft. In a nutshell, Alcalde delivered a powerful experience that was both subtle and memorable. For us, a definite milestone in Latin American cuisine.

Un buen restaurante de nivel alto, cocina mexicana contemporánea de alto valor, mi única sugerencia es que revisen el precio de los vinos ya que están bastante elevados contra lo que puedes encontrar en otros restaurantes

Siempre que quiero mostrar la cocina mexicana y con estilo local de gran nivel Alcalde es la primera opción.

Gran atención y apoyo en todo.

El servicio maravilloso y la comida imperdible, el gran detalle por el cumpleaños de mi papá increíble. Gracias!

Delicioso !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing night with chef Paco R. at Alcalde! The experience was absolutely incredible. Every dish from snacks to desserts with a special mention to the moles, had the flavors and textures perfectly balanced for an awesome plates!

Also the service from our waiter Aldo was excellent. Maybe a little more detail on the explanation of the dishes would have been better.

But at the end, I could say that one of the most amazing things of the whole night was the attention and humility of the chef. He was at sometimes in our table asking if everything was ok and doing some Pics.

Exceptional experience.

Espectacular comida, atención y lugar acogedor.
Todo, todo estaba delicioso, hacía falta algo así en GDL

Buena comida muy original buena atencion

I made the trip from Chicago just for them
Black Al Pastor tacos as seen on Netflix Taco Chronicles and they didn't disappoint. Also ordered the 500g Rib Eye at medium, cooked right on par and this steak melted like butter, great marbling.

El restaurante número uno de Guadalajara
La calidad y sabor de los alimentos es mágica
Todo excelente

The best restaurant in Guadalajara, Mexico. Amazing tasting menu. Great service.

Very much enjoyed the tasting menu and wine pairing!

Pasamos excelente velada todo estuvo excelente en relación a bebida y comida

Excelente servicio , muy deliciosa la comida

Muy deliciosa la comida y la atención por parte de Leo muy agradable y atento.

Ordered a la carte. Food very uneven. Some dishes were great some very extremely over salted and poorly seasoned. Overall would visit again if consistency could be assured. Service and drinks were great.

It was not worth it for the price. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 main dishes. Unfortunately, the 2 main dishes were both very bland and boring. It was the pork and the octopus. It had little to no flavoring. The 2 appetizers weren't bad though. We got the aguachile and the tamale. Probably wouldn't come back here because of how expensive it was.

Cada platillo es una experiencia deliciosa para el paladar y la atención del personal es impecable.

Food is excellent and very different. It is one of those places where you go to try something new. I would say they have a good mixology list, but not outstanding. They have an excellent selection of wines.

Overall I think food, ambiance and drinks are very good. The reason that I don’t give this place a 5 star is because I don’t think the value for money is quite there. For Mexican standards, the restaurant is very expensive. We paid $170 dollars for a dinner for 2, which is really on the high end. I think you can probably find better value for money elsewhere. If you are not too concerned about price, then definitely go for it!

Fue un extasis culinario. Todo el personal muy amable, carismático y atento. La comida de excelente calidad y sabor.

Ambiente agradable, atención cálida y comida espectacular. Las raciones son pequeñas para mi gusto personal, pero los sabores se disfrutan mucho.

Excelente lugar y servicio, los alimentos nos fueron explicados a detalle haciendo la experiencia gastronómica mucho más inolvidable

Excelente comida, el betabel, el pulpo, y el arroz con leche

Comida Gourmet a base de los mejores ingredientes. Excelente presentación, ambiente agradable y su personal siempre atento a cualquier requerimiento. Lo recomiendo para cenas con amigos

Amazing place, delicious food, I just have one comment about the service, they were delayed to bring us menu and explain the "tester menu", however passing this issue everything was ok. I would recommend 100% and its a must in GDL city.

Outstanding food and service – highly recommended. Servicio, comida y bebidas excelentes.

Queríamos menú de degustación y no viene bien especificado en la página!! Tomamos en el menú a la carta y nada excepcional!! En gral no fue buena experiencia!!

La comida bastante buena. La atención también. El lugar es un muy pequeño, pero acogedor. La carta de vinos es MUY limitada, y se limitan a colocar la marca del vino y la procedencia, sin ninguna orientación adicional acerca de uvas, cosechas, recomendaciones de maridaje, etc.

Delicioso todo !!! El servicio increíble . Me encanto !

Aniversario

Propuesta interesante a precios accesibles. El lugar es muy bonito y los sabores son buenos.

Overvalued restaurant

Los especiales del día excelentes

Extraordinary creations and surprises in every plate we tasted. The food was extraordinary, same as the service and the ambience. We went for lunch and are definitely coming back for dinner.
