Tonala is the place to shop when in the area of Guadalajara. It's located on the outskirts. I've…read morebeen to Guadalajara many times but I always buy my souvenirs from here. Thursday and Sundays are the best days to come because there are extra vendors. You will not find any place cheaper than here. Unfortunately they are doing construction on the sidewalk so it was super dirty and congested.

Midtown in Guadalajara is an open shopping center that has well known and luxury brands…read more From Sketchers to Rolex, there are many shopping options including a certified Lego Store. The dinning options are on the 3rd floor and under Midtown is Fresko. The Food at Midtown is okay. The Kiosks on the 3rd floor are okay and are your typical mall offerings, fries, tacos, burgers, and the likes. There are some restaurants and fast food options. TIP 1: Do not skip on Fresko. Make sure to check it out. If you are staying multiple days at the Hilton, you can get some daily staples like bottled waters, snacks, and other things if you've forgotten to pack them TIP 2: The food court area has arondeck chairs and lounge areas to watch sports or movies. Its a great way to relax. The drop off and pick up area can get congested for Taxis and RideShares so make sure you are ready as the pickups come fast and know the car, license plate, and driver. If you are driving, there is valet. This is especially helpful if you are staying at the Hilton. Midtown is not a tourist destination but brand destination and if you're into that, then its there for you.

I like midtown more than Andares. They have great fine dining and a good size shopping mallread more

If you walk too fast, youight just miss this hidden gem. Entering from a narrow door, the…read morerestaurant opens up to a high ceiling dining area. Local art (for sale) hang on the wall while the TV plays some classics pop music from the 80s(?) I was hungry and was looking for a big steak. Seeing most of the filete were 6.4oz, I was at first not sure if it will be enough. I went for the mole filete Encacahuatado. It came a garlic bread perfectly toasted. The steak sat on top of a bed of alfalfa sprout, zucchini and mushrooms. The star is of course the mole sauce. In the end, I finished everything including the bread. I was so full that I did not have room for the flan I wanted to try. The servers are all very polite and one spoke good English. I highly recommend this place. You may not get the ambience or mariachi singing live, but instead, you get excellent food and service.

If you're in GDL, this is a must stop and eat at place!…read more While staying in GDL for one night on business, I wanted to find something that was authentic to Mexico. Something that wasn't too flashy with the price amped up and definitely not a street vendor (whole other story)...came across this place on yelp. The pictures drew me in, the reviews sold me! Took a chance, hired an Uber and off I went to check this place out. Definitely a "hole in the wall" appearance from the street, but once you get inside you're greeted with the bright Mexican colors, the tasteful restaurant layout and attentive sincere staff. The food was phenomenal! 10/10 for the Tacos de Jicama!! (MUST TRY, over and over again!!) 9/10 Pulpo Loco! The Octopus was cooked to perfection! (Which is not an easy task)...Add the lovely light vegetables, then pair with the tamarind sauce, extremely delicious! Sadly, I wasn't pleased with the risotto. (Fix the risotto and you have 10/10 hands down!) Lastly, absolutely loved that they offer an English menu, traditional Mexican music on multiple tv's (volume was perfect for conversing), as well as gorgeous art for purchase. You will not be disappointed by this restaurant! Next time I'm in GDL, I'll be back and this time I'll be staying for dessert or two! PERFECTA

FYI, El Buho is a few doors down from Nuestros Dulces on the corner - both have incredible tequila selections - but El Buho was more helpful. 5 stars for El Buho!

By Guadalajara standards the prices are good, although the prices are higher (2-3x) than what I am used to back home. The customer value comes in the form of more qty, better quality, for the same if not lower prices with comparable items from Sams in Guadalajara.

On our last day in Guadalajara, my special someone and I decided to do a bit of shopping. We got a…read moretip from the hotel staff about this place, so we made our way over here. The route here took less than 20 minutes by uber. We were dropped off in this small street, that intersects this fine shopping center. Because it was a weekday, there was not a lot of foot traffic throughout this place, which was actually a good thing. We noticed tons of shops that we'd find back home in LA, to include high end brands. There were many fine eateries, as well as fast food options on the upper levels of the mall. Since we already had food back at the hotel, we decided to eat something small at Carl's Jr. We shopped at Palacio de Hierro, which is similar to Nordstrom in quality. The place was kept immaculately clean, and the staff throughout the center was very nice and accomodating. After getting done shopping, we hailed an uber to head back to the hotel. I'm glad that we made the time to come here. It's a nice shopping center thats on par with Del Amo Fashion Center in LA's south bay. If you have great taste in fashion, or just need to pick something up for an event, this is a good option in the Guadalajara metro area.

This mall is beautiful and you will find most high end stores and delicious restaurants here. We…read morespent an afternoon here during our visit and it was a lot of fun. There is a hotel attached and the mall is huge so it sprawls across two sections. I would recommend eating at the seafood place across the street.
