    caldo tlalpeño
    Elaina V.

    Food was amazing. Everything tasted home made with real and fresh ingredients. I got the caldo tlalpeño and it was amazing. The broth was clean and savory, and the chipotle added a nice flavor. The cheese with the vegetables was a great combo too. Also, get the beans!!!! This restaurant may have converted a non-bean eater into a bean LOVER! No kidding, the beans here are really good, rich, and creamy, they almost tasted meaty to me. I will be thinking of this restaurant forever.

    Always delicious. Always quick, friendly staff. Always a great value. And always a line to get in. (That should tell you something!)

    Salsas

    Delicious. Bit of a wait to get in (maybe 15-20 minutes) but well worth it. Once seated, service was quick and attentive. Prices are good, maybe a little high for the area but portions are large. I ordered the carne asada which was roughly $240 MXN. It came with rice, beans, potatoes, and a simple salad. Besides the salad, which was expectedly boring, everything was fabulous. The potatoes were seasoned to perfection, the beans and rice were nice complements to the meal, and the meat was heavenly. Just so tender and seasoned deliciously. There were four salsas on the table and all were fabulous. The red one (not the pico) has a bit of a kick to it. The green was my favorite. They also brought out complimentary tostadas as a pre-meal snack. Food is truly excellent and I would return in a heartbeat.

    Special platter. Get Mole if inclined.

    THIS IS IT!!! This place is a destination for many who live and visit here for a reason. We split Torta Ahogada which is braised pork shoulder little frijole fresh hoagie smothered in tomato sauce. Damn good staple of Jalisco. Also recommend the Chicken Special with 1/4 chicken, potatoes, tostadas, flauta, enchilada and side greens. Wait in line was worth it

    We couldn't help but notice the line stretching down the street, so naturally, we had to check this place out! The atmosphere can best be described as warm and inviting--truly a homey spot where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. The servers were incredibly friendly and more than happy to guide us through the menu, answering all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. We went with the server's recommendations, and wow, they didn't disappoint! Of the three dishes we tried, the Torta Ahogada and the Pozole Blanco stood out as absolute must-haves. The flavors were bold, authentic, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area, it's definitely worth the wait!

    This came highly recommended by my fiancé's coworker who lives in Mexico and his parents vacation in Guadalajara every year. After looking at the popularity on Google Maps, I was sold! We stopped by here TWICE during our time in Guadalajara. Every meal was delicious. It is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Mexico. My favorite dish was the pozole con pollo. Amazing flavors and the soup was so comforting. The handmade tortillas are excellent, we ordered lengua and made lengua tacos with them. The line can be quite long but it moves quickly. We came at 12PM Saturday and waited about 15min for a table. When we left at 1PM there was no more line!

    Causela grande. Oh my God. Totally potent and fabulous.

    Started with the tortas ahogadas oh my God, it was so fabulous and so tasty. The sauce was fabulous so for nachos they have these full tortillas. They have three different sauces. This super spicy sauce which I love. The green sauce, which is the mild and then this fresh salsa of tomatoes and onions and chilies, which is fabulous. The service is amazing. Then we did the mixed tacos which might be the best tacos I've ever had , and then we had this drink called Casuela. Wow. I would come back to Guadalajara just to visit. La Chata. The best Mexican food I've ever had in my life and the prices are ridiculously reasonable.

    Short wait. They pack you in, the tables are really close together. Service was stellar. Employees work very hard. Food was just average.

    The enchiladas suizas were phenomenal. The service was very quick even with a full restaurant and long wait. I will definitely be back!

    You will most likely wait in an organized line to dine. We were handed, gratis, 7 oz Corona Cervezas. Fast efficient service ordering.
