    La Casa de los Platos - Tacos de lechon

    A Stage Set for Fire and Flavor…read more La Casa de los Platos, a massive restaurant set along a boulevard of equally grand dining halls in Guadalajara's upscale district, thrives on spectacle. Its open-air courtyard, framed by stone and saturated with color, hums with loud music and theatrical flair. The guacamole, made by hand at the table, embodies that performance. Avocados are crushed in a stone molcajete, and the spread arrives bright and tangy. Yet, it's complicated by unnecessary additions--cheese chunks and chicharrón--that crowd out the fruit's natural elegance. A mere five totopos felt stingy, though a sack of piping hot corn tortillas--generous, soft, and fragrant--rescued the moment. At a requested "level 3 of 10," the spice soared higher than expected, a jolt that overwhelmed rather than accented. The rib eye tacos with shrimp and bone marrow extended the show, grilled before us over roaring flames. They were hearty, flavorful, and undeniably filling, but also excessively oily. The flavors--shrimp's brine, marrow's depth, beef's richness--blurred into a dish trying to impress on too many fronts. It was delicious, yes, but a reminder that tacos often shine brightest in their simplicity. Later, a live mariachi band replaced the nightclub thrum, a refreshing turn toward tradition and warmth. Service was fine but forgettable, efficient enough without leaving an impression. In the end, La Casa de los Platos is a spectacle tailored for a high-heeled crowd seeking grandeur. The flavors are bold, the showmanship bigger still--but subtlety rarely takes the stage. #GuadalajaraEats #FoodCritique #LaCasaDeLosPlatos Un Escenario de Fuego y Sabor La Casa de los Platos, un restaurante enorme sobre una avenida repleta de lugares igualmente majestuosos en un distrito exclusivo de Guadalajara, apuesta por el espectáculo. Su patio abierto, rodeado de piedra y lleno de colores, vibra con música alta y una puesta en escena constante. El guacamole, preparado al momento frente al comensal, sigue esa línea teatral. El aguacate, machacado en molcajete, llega brillante y ácido, pero cargado con queso y chicharrón que distraen de su pureza. Apenas cinco totopos lo acompañaron, aunque un costal de tortillas de maíz--calientes, suaves y generosas--rescató la experiencia. Al pedir un picor "nivel 3 de 10," resultó mucho más intenso de lo previsto, eclipsando en lugar de realzar. Los tacos de rib eye con camarón y tuétano llevaron el espectáculo a la parrilla móvil, con llamaradas que robaban miradas. Sabrosos, abundantes y sustanciosos, pero demasiado aceitosos. La mezcla de sabores--la salinidad del camarón, la profundidad del tuétano y la riqueza de la carne--terminó siendo excesiva, un plato que buscaba impresionar con demasiado. Al final, los tacos, por definición, suelen brillar en su sencillez. Más tarde, un mariachi en vivo reemplazó la música de antro, ofreciendo un respiro de autenticidad y calidez. El servicio fue correcto pero olvidable, cumplidor sin dejar huella. En suma, La Casa de los Platos es un escenario grandilocuente para un público de tacón alto: sabores potentes y espectáculo aún mayor, donde la sutileza rara vez aparece. #GuadalajaraEats #FoodCritique #LaCasaDeLosPlatos

    Campomar is always a good option no matter what restaurant of theirs you go to. Its always packed…read moreand it doesn't matter the day or time. The waiting staff are rock stars they work together to suggest and get everything you order out on time. It is very loud and busy so not for a romantic date night but yes for a group and or friends who like see food. The bar and cocktails are top notch and have everything your heart desires. Seafood lovers this is the place for fresh sea food, ceviches and octopus . Valet parking is convenient.

    Service was terrible - i sat in a beautiful restaurant, surrounded by amazing décor and the hustle…read more And bustle of a fabulous mexican restaurant with amazing food and drinks on everyone's table but mine. Every single waiter ignored me like I had covid. Until VEGA came and saves me. He was very nice and attentive and extremely apologetic for everybody else's behavior. The mussels were fantastic. The oysters were delicious and the drinks were great and strong. The restaurant is quite large and beautiful, but they are so crowded and i'm extremely happy for them; however, they really need to bump up their customer service. They had many, many employees because they were all dressed perfectly with the uniforms and all are running and rushing around me. I think many times restaurants think just because I am alone that i'm not gonna spend as much money as the group next to me.But little do they know, I usually end up drinking and eating more than they do!!! Im a persian alcohol guzzling pig !!!!

    So far this has been the best taco spot in Jalisco. They open at 1:30 and there was already a line…read morewhen we arrived at 1:20. They promptly let us in at 1:30, and were fully staffed waiting for the lunch crowd. You seat yourself and they immediately bring out the 4 different house salsas and a bowl of limes. Love that! There's a menu on the wall or you can scan a QR code at the table. Here's the tacos we ordered: Al pastor- best one; between my husband and I, we ate 10 of these. Costilla- husband rated 7/10 Carnaza- soft and tender Lengua- tender, not chewy, husband rated it 10/10 Dorados- crunchy tortilla with carne molido inside, and topped with carne asada..this was my 2nd favorite. Asada- tender tiny cuts of meat. Total- 10/10 we are already planning on coming back before we leave! Wait staff was attentive and the food came out quickly!

    Ive seen this place on youtube and the person I watch said they had the best tacos he's ever eaten…read more And this guy travels the world. So our first night in GDL we took an Uber here. Got there around 8pm and we sat immediately. Place was full but a table for two was open. We sat down and they took our order. I ordered 3 pastor tacos and 3 asadas with cheese. I also ordered a horchata to drink. The tacos came out pretty quickly. The pastor was really good. But the star of the show was the asada WITH CHEESE. The cheese is the key. They fry up the cheese on the griddle and it gives it a slightly brown color from the heat. The asada taco with cheese is the best tacos I've ever had. If you go here order this! I ended up ordering 2 more asadas with cheese because it was so good. They have some delicious salsa at the table as well as pico de gallo and of course lime. I also ordered a jaricalla which is similar to flan. Very delicious! This place is a must stop restaurant when in Guadalajara. It does get pretty busy for a good reason. The people working were very nice. If I didn't have so many places I wanted to try I would have gone again during my visit. This place is simply amazing!!!!
