This place is like twenty-seven stars, it is literally "Woohoo! As good as it gets!". We spent…read morethree days in Guadalajara, and I think it is safe to say this was the highlight. Modern mexican cuisine with interesting and complex favors, low prices, lots of Mexican microbrews, and friendly and unpretentious service. The overall appearance is of a high-end cafe -- white walls, plants everywhere, mosaic-encrusted skateboards as art on the walls, indirect lighting, and a blurred line between indoors and outdoors. It's like something out of Apartment Therapy (except it's a restaurant). It starts with what is perhaps the best part, which is the selection of salsas. There were three: a red roasted-chile salsa with a strong smoked flavor, a straight-ahead green serrano that was not very spicy, and an apple-based one that transitions from sweet into a slow burn of heat. The roasted and apple ones were particularly spectacular, and I kept spooning them onto everything that arrived. We ordered pork tacos to start, which were rolled up and fried. The meat was high quality and had a wine-like flavor, a bit like a pork version of coq au vin. My wife ordered flautas and I ordered a burro. The flautas in particular had excellent presentation, covered in shredded vegetables and drizzled crema. Both were very delicious. If you want to learn about what is brewing around Mexico, Pachuco has put together a menu of a lot of good beers. We tried the Loba Sport witbier, which was really excellent, and the Lupulosa IPA was also top-quality. The only miss on the beers was the Tristan Blonde Ale, which was not terrible but had a bit of a cloying off-flavor. We took the recommendation of the owner, Guillermo, for dessert and ordered his coconut gelatin. It really needs a better name, because "gelatin de coco" reminds me of a midwestern jello with bits of fruit in it, and it's nothing like that -- instead, think more like a coconut flan, a rich creamy roasted coconut flavor, with bits of actual roasted coconut on top and some berry jam at the bottom. It was good. We also ordered ice creams: basil-pear, roasted marshmallow, and beer-ferrero. The first two were real standouts. The third was fine but the flavors didn't come together as much for me. We also ordered an digestif, agave and coconut cream liquor; it was quite tasty and likeable; if it had any flaw it was that it resembled Baileys Irish Cream too much. But, if you like Bailey's (I do), that's also something of a positive quality. Coming from Oakland, California, what was really a standout here was the service and the overall low-key atmosphere. It was a Monday, and only three or four tables were filled. The waitress was extremely patient -- not in a rush, happy to explain things to us slowly so we could understand with our mediocre Spanish. Guillermo packed up some of the roasted-chile salsa for us, and talked to us for a bit about how he started the restaurant. The restaurant has been open a little over a year, and you get the sense that they are still excited to be open and making food that is based on the flavors of Jalisco, but not really traditional Mexican. We might (maybe) be able to find food this good in Oakland, but never with such courteous and unpretentious service.

Sitting on the second story terrace, you feel like you are walking into eloquent tree-house for fine dining. This is an open air restaurant. You can look over rhe edge and see the fresh vegetables they have growing. Menu is kind of tapas like. Seafood and beef dishes are excellent. Nothing like the taste of fresh seafood. But what i enjoyed mostly were the mixed drink menu. I tried a couple of drinks. The 2035 (bottom right-house aged rum, bitters, orange flavored brown sugar). Defectusoso (top right, tequila, green apple, lemon, cinnamon smoke, angostura bitter). The mildly rich mixed drinks added to any meal made this a truely unique dining experience.

My sister ordered a sopa de fideo & it was very dry without broth "caldo". I ordered a chile en nogada. It was good, but not filling as I was still hungry afterwards and overpriced. The plates were small portions and taste was very basic. We ordered 3 drinks, 2 appetizers and 1 entree for almost $100 USD. I'm sure we could've been more satisfied at a taco stand. I would not come back. The servers were nice, but food wasn't great. Rating- 4/10

The ambiance is fantastic and one of the highlights of the restaurant. It's a great place to enjoy the atmosphere, and the presentation of the food is impressive. We ordered the tomahawk steak, one of the most expensive items on the menu. It arrived looking spectacular, but unfortunately, the quality of the meat did not match the presentation. The steak tasted anything but fresh, making it one of the most disappointing tomahawks I've had. The service was also inconsistent. At times it was attentive, but there were long stretches where we didn't see our waiter and had to wait for assistance. The drinks were actually better than the food and ended up being the best part of the meal. Overall, Hacienda Canelos offers a beautiful setting and great cocktails, but the food quality and inconsistent service make it difficult to justify the price. I hope they improve the quality of their steaks because the restaurant has a lot of potential.

It was empty but typical for a Monday night. They offer specialty drinks made with fresh fruits and alcohol. There is a good wine selection and various Mexican dishes as well as international. For me being back in Guadalajara means enjoying truly Mexican dishes so we went for the Chile en Nogada that is a true Mexican delicacy when made correctly. But before that we had the crostini (super small) that were tasty and good to get the appetite going. Next we had the chistorra with salsa and tortillas that comes with a side salad that balances out the chistorra. The star of the show no doubt was the chile en Nogada. Perfectly cooked and creamy with the meat filling of beef and pork (picadillo).Topped with cream salsa and pomegranate giving it the 3 colores of the Mexican flag. Its served cold. We had one each and savored every bite. Service was excellent and we washed it down with a Casillero del Diablo Cabernet. We didn't try dessert because we were too full but they roll them out on a cart and look amazing. Great place and live saxophone playing in the back ground.
