Patio Elegance at Real San Pedro Real San Pedro in Tlaquepaque is more than a restaurant--it's an institution. The courtyard, cooled by Guadalajara's air and framed by open doors and windows, feels open yet welcoming. Inside, the walls are dotted with striking art, unique decorations, and large windows that pull every room back toward the heart of the patio. On Saturday afternoons, a live band plays gently in the background, giving the whole place a festive but unhurried rhythm. We started with sparkling water mixed with the traditional suero of salt and lemon--simple, refreshing, and perfectly suited to the warm afternoon. Guacamole came fresh, framed by crisp corn chips along the edges of the plate. The real star was the corn tortillas, served piping hot in an embroidered sack made just for the restaurant. Soft, fragrant, and full of flavor, they were so good we ordered a second round without hesitation. Service was attentive, though at moments it felt a little rushed. For mains, we ordered two classics. The Chile en Nogada arrived with a thick sauce made from evaporated milk, sugar, cream cheese, almonds, cinnamon, and even canned peach juice. The result was overwhelmingly sweet, drowning out the other elements like the meat and pomegranate. The Carne en su Jugo, described as meat with vegetables, came instead as a brothy, spicy soup. While not what we expected, it was hearty, comforting, and deeply flavorful. Real San Pedro draws many Mexican visitors, and it's clear why. With its mix of tradition, atmosphere, and lively energy, it's the kind of place that invites you to slow down, eat well, and soak it all in. #RealSanPedro #GuadalajaraEats #Tlaquepaque La Elegancia del Patio en Real San Pedro Real San Pedro en Tlaquepaque es más que un restaurante--es una institución. Su patio, refrescado por la brisa de Guadalajara y rodeado de puertas y ventanas abiertas, transmite amplitud y cercanía a la vez. El interior está lleno de arte llamativo, decoraciones únicas y ventanales que conectan cada rincón con el patio central. Los sábados por la tarde, una banda en vivo aporta un ambiente alegre y relajado, perfecto para pasar el día. Comenzamos con agua mineral acompañada del clásico suero de sal y limón: sencillo, refrescante y preciso. El guacamole llegó fresco, con totopos colocados en los bordes del plato. Pero lo mejor fueron las tortillas de maíz, servidas calientes en un saco bordado especialmente para el lugar. Tiernas, fragantes y llenas de sabor, tan buenas que pedimos otra ronda sin pensarlo. El servicio fue atento, aunque a ratos un poco apurado. En los fuertes pedimos dos clásicos. El Chile en Nogada llegó con una salsa espesa de leche evaporada, azúcar, queso crema, almendras, canela y hasta jugo de durazno enlatado. El resultado fue demasiado dulce, cubriendo sabores como la carne y la granada. La Carne en su Jugo, descrita como carne con verduras, se presentó más bien como un caldo picante. Aunque inesperado, fue un plato reconfortante, abundante y muy sabroso. Real San Pedro atrae sobre todo a visitantes mexicanos, y se entiende por qué. Con su mezcla de tradición, ambiente y energía alegre, es un lugar que invita a quedarse, disfrutar y dejarse llevar. #RealSanPedro #SaboresDeGuadalajara #Tlaquepaque read more

Real San Pedro - Mexican Near Me - Tlaquepaque, JAL

The restaurant is colorful the host was nice but the owners who were sitting in the restaurant were not very nice. I walked in and the only thing I felt was their face looking and staring at me , I did not feel welcome, it was not just one person but the 6 ppl that were sitting in two tables. I could not believe that in Mexico I would ever feel unwelcome just bc of the color of my skin. With tears in my eyes I walk out bc the ppl there were very obvious and just with their nasty stares kick me out of a restaurant. Never in my life have I experienced this kind of situation. read more

Good food and service. I had the encrusted tuna with a slight mustard sauce that was excellent. The Chamorro Tlaquepaque was huge, tasty and finger licking good. The meats are well selected and cooked properly. We highly recommend this place due to the food, atmosphere and not really expensive. read more

A friend of ours from Guadalajara raves about this place so we had to try it! I love love LOVE the ambiance here as it's so peaceful and beautiful when you enter with outside/inside seating! We came for their brunch buffet and it was amazing! So many different options from chilaquiles, quesadillas, made to order omelettes, fruit and more! The service, 5/5! They are always ready to give you what you need in a moments notice! I also had the traditional coffee (cannot remember the name) and now I just need that in my life! If you are here you must come to this spot & you can thank me later! read more

Real has a very nice, antique style patio. Live mexican music and very friendly and professional service make this place an excellent spot to rest roaming the old center of Tlaquepaque walking streets. I was amazed to realize the menu included chile en nogada although it was not the season. Only a slight tuning for the pomegranate to distinguish between the off-season, and the taste was still absolutely fantastic. Just a side note for the ones not familiar with this traditional Mexican dish; it does not have anything to do with stuffed chile, and based on my own experiences since two decades in Puebla, CDMX and other parts of Mexico where I have managed to taste this speciality, this specific one was extraorinarily well prepared, respecting the authentic style, with the rich spectrum of flavors from chile poblano, carne picada, fruits, creamy nuts-based sauce, and laborous cooking process. The salmon was also delicious, tasty and juicy, prepared to medium. The included bread and chile sauces were of high quality too. The frozen margaritas were well in par with the rest of the high quality offerings. Yet, the total bill was not at all exaggerated for such a treat. Should I ever have a chance to visit this place again some day, with all the fine menu items, I am already tempted to order the lamb shank (chamorro), having a strong feeling it will comply with my high expectations. read more

Real San Pedro - Chile en nogada. - Mexican Near Me - Tlaquepaque, JAL

The food is less than average and a bit pricey for what you get. Service was slow. Ambience was nice but there are many more options in this area with much better food. I had the Chile en nogada and it was terrible. The Chile and meat stuffing were cold. The sauce wasn't tasty at all. It just seems like it was thrown together without much care for the taste. My girlfriend had carne en su jugo and it was okay. We also ordered the sopa azteca and it was also just okay. Overall, the food and service was a disappointment. read more

Food was okay. They messed up an order and waiter rolled his eyes at us after he was the one who made the recommendation. Before sitting us down they swapped the tables with the people next to us since their table wasn't steady; hence their solution was to give us their table. Waiter would pass every so often to ask if we needed anything taking 10min to ask for water. My panini was okay. My sister in laws migas weren't that great, didn't end up having more than a few bites. Cousins quesadilla with meat which had no meat nor cheese. read more

Restaurant is lovely. Extremely clean. Lots of artwork and a fountain right in the middle of the restaurant which is very soothing. Very peaceful. Live music is soft and enjoyable while eating. Food was delicious. I'm not a meat eater but everything I tried was so good and flavorful. They have omelettes, pancakes, delicious cheese and various types of quesadillas. Of course have to mention the delicious homemade tortillas. So good. The coffee was fabulous. To top it all was our server Jesus was the epitome of what an excellent waiter should be. This was a fabulous meal. You will enjoy your visit and you'll be glad you did. Enjoy! read more

On vacation to Jalisco, we took a half day trip to beautiful Tlaquepaque. We've been here in the past and tried other restaurants. We thought we'd try this place out after noticing they have a different menu. We ordered the chapulines/grasshoppers with guacamole as an appetizer (delicious garlicky lemon flavor), pulpo a las brazas/grilled octopus (perfectly cooked and seasoned just right), rellenitos en nogada /meat stuffed jalapeños with creamy nutty sauce (perfect sized and delicious). The drinks were a bit weak (tequila sunrise and a Paloma). But overall, everything was awesome. And they had a live band playing covers of hit Spanish music. Awesome ambiance, delicious food and great service. Will be back. read more

We had a group of 7 and they were ready to accommodate us with no reservation. We did the Buffett which was great for our group to try everything. They have some amazing coffee. I'm not a coffee drinker but whatever they did here was awesome and I think it had some flavorful cinnamon in it. From fresh orange juice to local juices they have everything for everybody. I would highly recommend this place for a large group or a nice saturday brunch. read more

Top of the mark for this area. Great customer service, one of a kind interior and plentiful tequila and tradition food options.

Excellent ambiance, service and food. Menus available in English too. The pork shank was freaking amazing. Highly recommend with the local Estrella cerveza. I also noticed they were cleaning windows, and other parts of the restaurant which is nice to see attention to detail. Our server was cheerful and accomodating, would certainly recommend for lunch or dinner! read more

I am glad that many people who were essentially forced to eat here from their tour groups actually enjoyed their meals. The atmosphere was cute, I will give this place that. However, given the number of restaurants in the area, you are better off eating at another place and NOT here. Tlaquepaque has style, and I am sure better food than here. I wanted the Chile Relleno, but they didn't have that so I got the Chile en Nogada, which tasted like nothing I expected. It was covered in sweetened cranberries, some sort of sweetened alcoholic (prob tequila) yogurt sauce, with peppers covering meat cooked with tomato sauce. WTF was I eating..?? My mouth was literally assaulted with a weird concoction of tastes and textures. The only thing I found tolerable was the onion bread. I died a little inside. The end. read more

Nice little spot. Really good food but very slow service. I had a delicious chicken mole dish, flan and coffee. I was a little disturbed to watch the cleaners take water from the fountain to use for washing the floor. Ugh! Other than that the meal was perfect and I will return to this restaurant, just maybe sit away from the fountain next time! read more

While in Tlaquepaque we had lunch at a very nice restaurant that boasted crocodile, boar and quail in their menu, we didn't order any of the above, but I thought that a restaurant that carried this dishes was worth a try. We ordered a soup that was called eclipse and consisted of half of the bowl with cream of corn and the other half had cream of huitlacoche. It was very very good and the presentation was excellent. We also had a filet mignon served over mashed potatoes with a creamy pecan sauce. The dish was simply delicious. The last plate we ordered were the must have during the month of September, "chiles en nogada". They are meat stuffed poblano peppers covered in a semisweet pecan sauce. They were excellent. The food and the service were both excellent and to top it all off they had live music which was a very nice touch. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

Great service poor presentation of dishes. ordered three Rib eye steaks and one arrechera three were under cooked and one over cooked. Ordered a soup and it was served with the meal and it was so salty I couldn't eat the the dish. This place is definitely not a place you have dinner. The music is great and so is the drink. So if your looking for a place to have drinks and listen to great music this is the place but not to have dinner especially steak. I should learn to stay where I know the food is great, that's at Quinta Don Jose. Food is always great. read more

Excellent brunch! The food was amazing - buffet service. The coffee was the highlight for me, it was perfectly hot with a cinnamon, no cream or sugar needed! There was menudo, enchiladas, chicken of sorts and lots of pastries and American food. The service was on point and there is a station that makes fresh quesadillas! Love this place! read more

We stopped here for lunch and the drinks were great. It's a nice atmosphere with seating outside. This place gets packed so be prepared to wait. Food was tasty too. We had lunch with two other people from our tour and we a little surprised that they couldn't spilt the check. read more

I'm am not much of a Mexican food expert. What we had here was Aztec soup and the house salad. Both nice and delicious and in good portion. And my husband some sort of veal fillet with cheese on it, he had to remove the cheese otherwise it would have been a very heavy meal, but the rest with lots of green pepper on it was good. Then we had a cream brûlée with tequila sauce on it, not bad. And the coffee my husband ordered smelled fresh and good. The place is nice and clean and the service is attentive . They have the menu in English if you ask and their band plays nice music. A nice and smooth experience over all. read more
