Restaurante Alcalde - 44690 Guadalajara

Our group of 10 had an amazing dinner and our service was perfect!

Very good food. Went as a business meal and was very impressed with the simple, straight forward menu. Not a ton of vegan options but the chef made a couple selections that were great. Enjoyed the local craft beer too. Would definitely return and try more appetizers. Kitchen was clean and wide open. Loved that. Wait staff spoke perfect English. Very helpful.

Nothing to say but Great. I was wowed by 8 out of the 9 dishes. The week before l dined at a restaurant in Mexico City that starts with a P and ends in l and Alcalde taste was surprior.

Birthday dinner...one I will always remember

Fantastic food, impeccable service, fine wines, delightful decor - do not miss an opportunity to eat at this wonderful restaurant. The menu is short, but everything they serve is wonderful. Will return next time we're in Guadalajara!

Eating here was a lovely experience on a beautiful day. The squash root appetizer, lechon and rice pudding were the standouts. Beautifully plated, well composed dishes with excellent flavours. Everything was just really well cooked, fresh and hearty. The sangria cocktails were beautiful. Service was attentive. Absolutely wonderful meal at reasonable prices.

First time visiting the restaurant due to the top 50 recognition. Got the sweetbread, octopus, and rice pudding. Food feels very monotone. There was nothing really impressive. The sweetbreads tasted like chicharrones on top of mashed potatoes and gravy paired with tortillas to make tacos. One piece of sweetbread has a little sweetness which I liked and helped cut through the richness. When I finished the dish, after 7 tacos, I was already getting full. The octopus dish tasted like a basic curry dish with rice. Although the octopus was precooked to perfection, for some reason they decided to cook it again which ended up drying out some of the pieces without adding much additional texture or flavor. The rice pudding was probably the most interesting dish of the meal with rice paper on top of horchata ice cream, a sugary crumble, and lots of rice on the bottom. Overall, I wished the portions were smaller with fewer carbohydrates with a price to reflect such change so I could try another dish or two to get a better representation of the restaurant. The drinks were delicious but a little watered down and could use more garnish to make it look more impressive. For example, the rosita was just in a glass by itself. The seating by the kitchen was interesting but over time it got increasingly hot as more orders came in and lacked cushions. Overall, it was an ok meal with a high price (1000+ pesos).

Cozy place to enjoy the great food and the atmosphere. Service are great, and the wine recommendation was spot on. A very relaxing and enjoyable dining experience for innovative integration of local ingredients.
