They way it works is they make a huge pot of soup and serve it until they run out. I went today, and they were done by 1pm. I have snuck in later before, but this place has been really busy lately. These guys have been make birria for generations. I think one of the reasons that they have such great birria is the 'tatemado' oven. They give the meat a little searing on the burner before it goes into the broth. There are a lot of fatty cuts and the searing really brings out the flavor in the fat. It is really affordable, but not cheap. Birria shouldn't be cheap because it is primarily meat and you want good meat. I am pretty sure this is a goat only birria place which means that I don't think that they have birria de res. There is a bomb juice place right across the aisle so get a pineapple/orange mix and get your birria on.

The place is is wall to wall tables and they were all filled when I went. They have table clothes (not fancy, but nice) and fried torillas (like chips, except full rounds) on the table with three kinds of salsa. The service was good and the food came out lightening fast. I am a vegan and I went because Yelp says that it is vegan friendly.... which is hard to find in Guadalajara. I only saw one vegan option, which were potato enchiladas. They were good, but they did not blow me away.

We had cafe de olla and some dishes that made for an amazing brunch. We ordered a plate of Arrachera with tortillas and Bistec Encebollado (steak with onions) with beans. On the same plate we had chicharrones en salsa, a breakfast staple in this city. To balance the heavier dishes we had a Jugo Verde drink made from fresh pineapple and parsley. The staff were so friendly, we felt at home with the kind approach and nice ambiance. The decor is traditional and tasteful, we had such a fun experience. We dream of this breakfast and want to return with our sons soon. Try some amazing food here next time you're in Guadalajara, Jalisico Mexico!

In the plaza, La Tequila is one of very nice restaurants that has great food and good prices. I like to sit outside when the weather is breezy and cool, the ambient and the decor are very nice and quiet. I ate at the original one before, but this one is also great. The service is attentive and the food are special, at least IMO. I only like to eat appetizers so I can try many different things without getting bored. The shrimp tacos are different but tasty. The tortilla soup is delicate but NOT as tasty as some of the ones in the state, it's different. The 3 meats tacos are very tender but actually very filling. After a long day of work, sitting, tasting and watching people in the plaza, pretty relaxing.

It's like a hearty soup. Of course, it is served with fresh, hot tortillas, and you can order your choice of several sides, such as guacamole and chips, grilled green onions, quesadillas, queso fundido (with or without chorizo), etc. They are in the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest service. ...and I believe it! They offer a variety of drinks from sodas, aguas frescas and beer. I got my usual limonada in agua mineral. Everything was delicious and the service was exceptional.

You have to walk up at least four different sets of stairs, so this is certainly not for the handicapped! The rooftop terrace for a restaurant was quite beautiful. Its got a touch of foliage and great interior design to keep me looking around. Our waitress was kind, decent with english, and prompt to our needs. We got there 40 minutes before the mariachi band was about to play. I hate live music when eating, especially when it involves screeching trumpets. Maybe this is a plus for you, but not for me. The Pina colada mocktail was delicious here! Like coconut ice cream, with a decent amount of cherry flavor in the mix. I like the cherry on top for garnish and dynamic. I imagine with alcohol it's just as good. Their queso fundido is quite satisfying. Big gooey globs of stringy salty cheese drive right. Get the chorizo and mushrooms with it, because it makes it 5 times better. They dont cut either item into smaller chunks, but it's still quite satisfying to get everything on one chip. I ordered the sugar cane taco, but ended up with the skirt steak one. It was super basic, with no seasoning, felt like a burger with the lettuce and tomatoes, and the meat was cut in a way where the meat was quite dry and stringy. Avoid this particular taco. The hibiscus taco will not be for everyone, but it was a fantastic foray into sweet and savory. It's like a condensed Jamaica drink but with all the other usual savory components of a taco. The pulpo here is pretty decent. They don't over season and the texture is fairly soft (although there's not much spring). They pile on the avocado on this one! The beef flauntas are quite satisfying. Crunchy outside, bursting with corn oil, and with a decent amount of veggies and crema on the outside. The plantains flameado is quite simple, but if you like brandy and soft, sweet plantains, then you will enjoy this. They don't give you much else other than a creamy sauce to dip the plantain.

Our party consisted of seven people, including three minors. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the restaurant. From the beginning, we did not feel very welcomed. Our waiter, Juan Jose, did not offer us a tour of the restaurant, and it took a long time to receive our food. It was also difficult to get his attention whenever we needed assistance. The most disappointing part of our experience happened as we were leaving. My aunt overheard Juan Jose complaining that our table didn't order any alcohol and only left a 20% tip. We found those comments to be unprofessional and disrespectful. A 20% tip is generally considered a generous tip, and guests should not be made to feel judged based on what they order or the gratuity they leave. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a lot of potential, but the level of service fell well below our expectations for such a special occasion. I hope management addresses these concerns so future guests can enjoy both the atmosphere and the hospitality.

Everything here tastes homemade and made with quality ingredients. Even the fresh-squeezed orange juice is exceptional--bright, refreshing, and the perfect way to start the morning. On this visit, I ordered the molletes de chicharrón and the carne en su jugo, and both dishes exceeded expectations. The molletes were rich, satisfying, and packed with incredible flavor, while the carne en su jugo was comforting, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. Every bite reminded me why I continue to come back whenever I'm in the city. Another thing I appreciate is how fast and efficient the service is. Despite how busy they can get, the staff keeps everything moving smoothly without sacrificing quality or hospitality. If you're looking for an authentic Guadalajara breakfast, La Gorda is a must-visit. Between the fresh ingredients, traditional flavors, speedy service, and consistently outstanding food, it's easy to see why this has become one of my favorite breakfast spots year after year.

The prices are fair, however you are near to the American Zone so you'll find higher than average (compared to the rest of the city) prices. Of course, you should definitely order the torta ahogada. It's a Guadalajaran classic that is as messy as it sounds. Literally translating into "drowned torta" you'll likely need a fork and knife to attack this yummy monster. The spicy sauce adds a nice kick and keeps everything moist and delicious. Once you're done, opt for the classic Guadalarajan style flan/creme brulee called Jericalla. It's a little different than your traditional flan in that it has a burnt top similar to creme brulee. The flavor and texture is quite nice! Definitely make La Gorda your first stop if you intend to bar hop in the area. You won't be sorry!
