    Start with a casualita and a Bohemia

    I have been coming to this place since I was a kid and it has some great memories for me. I invited my cousins to lunch, hours before I we were to head to the airport for our trip home. Even with a group of 18, we were able to get in quickly and order. We purchased four 1 kilo plates of carnitas and beans and still took some leftovers home for a couple of the cousins that couldn't make the trip. They come around and pour comsume into your bowl which we added onions, lime and chili/salsa. They were generous with the consume, which is a super important part of birria. They were also very generous with the home made tortillas. The service was fantastic. And the food, well consistently great. Most of us got beers [or mineral water for the hangover] but my wife and daughter shared a "casuelita" which is a Tequila, grapefruit and other ingredient drink. Looked and tasted great too. The place is huge but I got worried when we drove up and saw a hundred cars in the parking lot. OK, maybe not 100 but it was pretty close and I have a plane to catch is about four hours. The airport is a 15 to 20 minute drive from here. Because the place is so big, we sat immediately. Loved that they have clean bathrooms and the place looks great.

    Stop everything you are doing anywhere on earth! It is imperative that you come to this restaurant to eat. Quite possibly the second best thing about Guadalajara, the first being the hostess at the rooftop bar in the Riu hotel. Now back to this restaurant, my boss had no idea that it was goat meat he was eating and he was licking that stiff up. Beans were amazing tortillas were on point and the different salsas are the best i ever had. Out of all my yelps in the ten years of yelping as a normal person and not the entitled elite status. This review will never do this place justice. I am coming to GDL again just to eat here.

    Feast for a family!

    We stopped by on our way to Lake Chapala. The food was delicious - a large portion of Birria de Chiva for 4 people including queso fundido, frijoles, tortillas, drinks, cafe de olla, etc. We couldn't finish it all. The service was minimal but the waiter was very knowledgeable and explained all the dishes thoroughly. The ambiance was nice. We went on a weekday, so it was pretty empty, but the place is huge and apparently attracts large crowds during the weekends.

    La carne de birria es de res, buena. El consome rico cuando lo sirven hervido. Los frijoles sabrosos. El queso fundido tambien sabroso. Las tostadas duras, la salsa de molcajete, picosita pero rica. Tortillas "ok" ya que dicen que son recien hechas pero creo son recalentadas. El servicio lento. El lugar da un aspecto viejo. Basura en el exterior. Se puede escuchar musica en vivo de mariachi.

    It's one of their OG spots in Tlaquepaque. They been around over 100 years. Very nice hacienda feel to the restaurant l my type of place. The waiter came quick brought me chips and salsa and took my order immediately. The food takes like 15 minutes to come out. They charred the meat and served the consome on the side like au jus style. The beans were some of the beans and cheese I've ever had and the Birria was amazing. Tortillas were home made and really good as well. It was so cheap too for how much food they gave me. Loved that place definitely going back as soon as I touchdown in Guadalajara, Top 3 meals I've ever had no lie.

    If you are in Guadalajara this is a must try the birria is very delicious. I will be definitely coming back soon.

    This place is very traditional birria slow cooked goat meat with spices. Arrive by 11am and you are guaranteed all attention and amazing service. Arrive 2pm and be ready to wait a little bit to be seated. There are not many choices on the menu of one goes there is bc you want to eat birria or aome part of goat meat. You can also have the amazing broth they serve on the side of goat is not for you. The mint pineapple juice water is amazing too. And then at the end the amazing price value keeps you smiling. Yes, location is a bit off the grid but as a tourist foodie this is the kind of place you want to visit. I'll be back any chance!

    Out in their garden toward the playground.

    Great atmosphere and delicious food! All served family style and sold by the kilo. Best time is around opening as you get freshly made hot tortillas, and great service. There is plenty of seating for large parties and small parties alike as it is outdoor seating. There's even a small playground for the kids.

I only had roughly 45 minutes to get food and board a plane and I was hungry! I ordered the Torta Ahoagada and a drink. The food came out pretty quick. The food was pretty expensive but it's expected at an airport. It also seemed more expensive since everything was cheap during vacation in Guadalajara. The bread seemed a bit stale and the meat was not as tasty. I ate most of the meat from the torta and just couldn't finish the rest. I will probably try a different restaurant the next time I am at this airport.

I had to wait a few minutes, as they told me that they could not process credit card payments until 4:00 AM. They processed my order before that, and got me my breakfast in a timely manner. The food itself was ok, not the healthiest and somewhat tasty. But it did its job and gave me much needed energy for the start of the day. The coffee was pretty good, and the juice tasted freshly squeezed. The staff here is nice. This place is open when other places in Guadalajara airport are not, so I appreciate the convenience. For a fast food breakfast, it is better than Jack in the Box or Carl's Jr.

El empleado repitió que "solo para llevar" las compañeras de este muchacho interrumpieron y dijeron que si podían sentarse a comer. Eso Lla me molestó y me dije bueno ya perdió su propina. Al fin pagué por mi comida. Me voy al hotel donde estoy en este momento hospedada. No me pude ni terminar un taco. Apestan y saben horrible a orín de puerco. No se si usan manteca o aceite en el cual cocinan puerco pero que decepción. Yo casi NUNCA hago reviews ni suelo ser delicada. Pero para que yo no pueda terminarme estos tacos es porque están de la fregada. Se les advierte. Cómo se les ocurre fregar una arrachera con semejante apeste/sabor. I arrived almost at 10pm and an employee guy told me only takeout service was available. I ordered my food and sat down to wait. Shortly after, two men arrived. The employee repeated "only takeout," but the guy's coworkers interrupted and said yes, they could sit and eat. That already annoyed me and I thought: well, he just lost his tip. Finally paid for my food. Went to the hotel where I'm staying now. Couldn't even finish one taco. They stink and taste horribly like pig urine. I don't know if they use lard or oil where they cook pork, but what a disappointment. I almost NEVER ever ever leave reviews or am picky. But if I can't finish these tacos, it's because they're freakin' awful. Consider yourselves warned. How do you ruin arrachera with such a disgusting smell/taste?? Gee.
