My first review. I was recently on vacation and found this restaurant nearby. It was not what we expected. The quality of the food was subpar & plates were overpriced. 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 read more

Hola, from Guadalajara! El Sacromonte restaurant is Superb. Ok, I went here with a classless friend. I don't think he ever been to a classy restaurant before, in his Life, and in it showed. He gobbled down his soup, and threw back his wine like it was a shot. He was acting like a teenager constantly on his phone. I was totally, embarrassed for a man his age to act infantile while dining out. So, now that you know the distraction to the elderly waiter, I only took off 1 point due to the fact we asked for water that after paying the check realized we never got it. A waiter shouldn't ever forget a request. Also, the waiter did pass me the food from the front not the side of me. He caught himself, but I was in awe that a waiter of his age didn't have restaurant etiquette. Now, for the food, I ordered the Goya's Mosaic, it's sliced Salmon set on a Feta cheese like cheese w/ side garnish of parsley, basil & a garlic I think. My crazy friend had the Coyacan Soup, but not what you think remember it's a classy restaurant. It was a small minced preparation placed in the center of the plate & then the waiter poured a creamy wine sauce based soup on top. Oh, I chose a Merlot which went well with both meals. It was delicious; both dishes were. Bread was warm as it should be. Yum! So, if you're in the neighborhood of 1418 Pedro Moderno it's located on the same side adjacent. Oh, they do have Valet, here. So, come out, and have some fun with your special lady. A mature ambiance, where ppl sit back enjoy their meal, drink wine and enjoy their company of friends. I think it's a perfect spot for a 1st date if you're trying to impress the girl. Only if she has class, and isn't only a burger girl. Nothing, wrong with burgers, but like my friend who embarrassed me, and he's just a friend. I'll definitely, go here again, when I'm in town on business again. Superb! read more

We were delighted to be able to go to dinner after 9 pm as we tend to eat late. The food was good and the service was very attentive, although we were one of only two tables filled. The dining room is beautiful with incredible lighting and other decor. But it's hard to understand how a traditional restaurant such as this stays open with so few diners. I feel that if it was in another town the place would be packed. read more

A place for foodies! Lovely colonial decor, professional servers. Las Cibeles Quesodillas like we've never had. Served with a strawberry glaze that sounds odd, but is wonderful. Mango Ceviche is delicate with a small kick - not overpowered with onion or garlic. Pork shank el mangla - unique blend of spices including achiote. Sublimely tender roasted in banana leaves. River Cuale mole lengua (beef tongue) is simmered perfectly. The mole is a very well balanced combination that is not too sweet. Bottom sirloin with coriander and pistachio pesto was a well aged tender cut. Portions were quite large. Easily enough for two people to share. We will put El Sacromonte on our short list in Guadalajara - a city with many great choices! read more

The food here was delicious, the restaurant is clean, and the servers were great. I am so upset that I was feeling sick on this day so I couldn't enjoy the full dining experience. However, I tried the chicken with huitlacoche and Chiles en nogada. Both dishes were honestly kind of on the sweet side, so I didn't love that, but other than that the flavors were great. This was my first time trying these traditional ingredients/dishes and I just enjoyed it so much. Also, for the appetizer, I got a salad and the olive and anchovy dressing is out of this world. I want that recipe so badly!! read more

Our waiter was good and the ambience was nice. Nice selection of food. I had the salmon plate. The salmon did not have really any flavor, but the sauce underneath with the vegetables was tasty. My coworkers really enjoyed the Los Chiles Del Septiembre De Iturbide. read more

Food was decent. We came by over here when it was near closing time. The staff did their best to accommodate us. The food may have been a bit rushed but it was understandable. Service was classy and excellent. The bar across the street had their music on which spilled over Sacromonte's classy ambiance. read more

Place looks beautiful but the food was just so so ...I wouldn't go back. The food just lacked flavor! The service was good but it wasn't worth the money read more

First of all, this place is beautiful. Lovely decor with many unique chandeliers which add a nice ambience to the place. I had the Rib Eye San Pablo style, while my wife had the Chicken with almond sauce. Both of those dished were good, but not great. Unlike other places we've been, they did not serve and bread or anything else prior to the main course. At first I thought that this was because they didn't do that, but when others came in, I noticed that everyone else was served bread prior to dinner. Not sure why we were excluded, but it is what it is. By the time I noticed, we were already done with dinner. read more

While on vacation I visit this new place that came up on my yelp it was only like 15 minutes away from my hotel where I stayed very impressive. This is an upscale little bit more romantic much more older people very quiet and our waiter was quite a young man at heart. He gave us a rundown on things to try it was super amazing it was beautiful and yes romantic. It is sort of hidden weight of its own trees and beautiful flowers I felt like a Villa. We had a wonderful delicious soup that unfortunately I wasn't able to write this wonderful review with the bad Internet service I was having. It was a great experience I definitely have to come back to have other food on the menu. read more

Traditional, charming, historic restaurant in Guadalajara. Their strength is in the mole, the sauces, the way they treat their chiles - burn'em, smok'em, great flavors. Portions are very large, sauces are rich - check out the vegetarian crepe. Service is kind and professional. Go with a big appetite! read more

El Sacromonte - Ribeye... Superb... This is cooked medium. - Mexican Near Me - Guadalajara, JAL

Beautiful restaurant, great food and super service. We stopped in for lunch and a man was playing the piano. The décor is old world Spanish with a Moorish influence. Great paintings on the walls and very clean. The food is top-notch. We had the quesadilla, which is more like an empanada, that was oozing with melted white cheese and topped with strawberry sauce. It was sweet and more of a dessert but oh so good. We shared a house specialty a poblano pepper topped with pomegranates and a cream sauce. A sweet tasty dish. Excellent! For dessert we choose another house specialty the the corn ice cream In a corn tortilla also very good. They have a nice selection of premium tequilas. A little pricey but was a very good choice. read more

We came here for a celebratory dinner and couldn't have been more pleased. Our waiter, Juan, was pleasant and attentive. We started with the quesadilla, which I agree is like an empanada with a raspberry sauce...very fun and delicious. We shared the flank steak with a pistachio pesto sauce very tasty and cooked perfectly. We visit Guadalajara frequently and will definitely be back. read more
