They say this is one of the top 3 restaurants in Guadalajara, if not the second next to Alcade. The portions were good, the service was top notch. Food here uses organically grown veggies from the building by's rooftop, and outsourced local ingredients from various regions of the country. Make sure to say hi to the chefs and they surely will appreciate it! read more

What a phenomenal dining experience. From the amuse-bouche to the final sweets of a passion fruit cookie, the food here is astounding. For starters, the beet salad was incredibly fresh and delicious. The seafood risotto was rich and bursting with flavor. The roasted grouper with mussels puree was among the juiciest fish I've ever had. The cinnamon brioche roll with gorgonzola ice cream was a true dessert delight. To top it off, the service was very attentive and the chef even came over at the end to thank us. It was a top dining experience. read more

Allium - Ant Larvae! - Mexican Near Me - Guadalajara, JAL

Unique fusion food with an open chef's table and elite service. I love when fine dining spots are open during lunch! We want lunch too! I ordered the Mexi-Thai fish curry with eggplant and mushroom. It's one of those dishes I respect for it's blend but I don't want to eat again. I like the menu and know each dish is thought out with flavor. Complimentary bites and bread given. read more

Skip the short rib. Light on flavor Get the octopus for sure! Biggest bang for buck is the giant Tuna Size fish collar. Get two drinks! The one with mezcal for a spicy salty rimmed chili salt and the dragon margarita. Total Bill after tax and tip? 53 dollars! Insane value and taste. One pet peeve, the servers all tend to avoid speaking with me so I had to hunt them down. So learn some Spanish! They had some nice and free appetizer read more

High-end, Sophisticated, Delicious, I don't have more words to describe my experience at this amazing restaurant.

We were meeting a friend from Guadalajara and he arrived on time while we got lost and very delayed. Our friend isn't used to this type of eatery. And was a little worked up by our arrival. As I navigated the incredible menu he began to calm. When our first dish arrived he was astonished and quickly delighted with each successive dish he became more and more pleased. I was even more impressed than he. The quality of preparation and ingredients exudes care and skill. The execution was fantastic in in every manner. I highly recommend enjoyed this gem. read more

This restaurant is some of the best food I've had in Mexico. It is a little more than normal food here, but I found it worth the price. For appetizers we were greeted with bred and mini tacos filled with ceviche. The bread was fresh and the mini tacos were a nice start to the meal. For appetizers we got a bluefin tuna crudo and a beet salad. The beet salad was a great option for a start because it didn't have too much flavor but the textures were great. The crudo was spicy with a jalapeño mayo and the fish, thin mango slices, and papaya was very flavorful; and this was one of our favorite dishes. For the entrées we ordered a beef duo, pork belly, and fish with sikil pak. The beef duo had steak which was a little bit chewy but blended well with the mashed potatoes provided. The beef cheek was melt on your mouth fatty. The pork belly and fish were great with sauces and things provided in dishes. The place wasn't fully crowded, but we came just past 7:00. read more

Enjoyed my first meal in Guadalajara a lot! Half-open patio seating, very cozy with plants, suiting for the climate here, just too many mosquitoes. The restaurant offered us spray to ward off the mosquitoes, which is quite considerate. The menu has many interesting items, charcoal butter to go with bread, tasty ant-larvae toast, and I tried financier for the first time! Although it's called pistachio financier and I couldn't taste any pistachio, which I've picked another dessert lol. Entrées: The duck is a bit gamy. The fish dish is very delightful. Also good selection of South America wine and farm-to-table sensibility, pretty good experience overall. read more

Everything here was delicious and prepared with care. Service also professional and attentive. I had the duck in blue corn gorditas and kanpavi crudo as appetizers, folled by a delicious crab risotto. The Pina colada Pavlova was a sweet riff on the cocktail, and beautifully presented. Will return. Comida muy rica y servicio excelente. read more

You will not be disappointed with the attentiveness of the staff to the reasonable prices. read more

Allium is an absolute must-visit for a higher-end dinner out in Guadalajara. It is refined, beautiful cooking at incredibly reasonable prices. We absolutely loved the duck, the beet salad, and the hoja santa panna cotta. The bread even was warm, amazing and served with exceptional salsas and butters. The service was smiley, friendly and attentive. Excellent experience! read more

I think this place is probably the second best restaurant in Guadalajara after Alcade who got on 50's best. The ingredients are fresh and the food is tasty and well presented. Pricing is great I been here for lunch twice and was not disappointed. Portions are pretty big I don't see someone getting through a appetizer, main and dessert without sharing. Maybe they should do a rotating lunch pre fixe with smaller portion of each. Their bread butter and sauce is the hidden mvp, I overeat that bread every time. read more

1 star is being generous. How did this restaurant make it to the 50 best discovery list? Zero ambiance. Sitting indoors would be impossible due to lack of air conditioning. Service was good. The food was awful. We had the pork belly quesadilla, escamoles toast, fish rikil and corn bread dessert. Where was the fat in the pork belly? Why was the quesadilla overpowered by oregano? The toast was blah. Why was the fish so bland? Why was the corn bread doughy? read more

Consistently excellent food, creative and unusual dishes along with some classics. They use seasonal ingredients and menu changes often. Very good service. read more

My favorite restaurant in Guadalajara! Located in the Chapultepec area (cool hip street with many restaurants). All of the dishes were extremely flavorful and creative. The decorations are cute and they have lots of plants. Our server was very fluent in English and explained the whole Spanish menu to us. It was only about 15 USD per person for a great dinner (great presentation and flavors). Very inexpensive for the awesome dishes we got. You have to pay at least $50 at a comparable restaurant in NYC! Our amuse bouche was mushroom soup and it was just the right amount of richness. We started of with gazpacho cold soup with seabass sashimi. It is quite creamy but still my favorite cold soup ever. We also shared a 24-hour cured duck bruschetta with fig jam. The sweet jam goes very well with the salty duck. Our entree was the crispy seabass with zucchini done 5 ways (grilled, pureed, and more!). The fish was cooked perfectly and the different ways of cooking the zucchini gave us different textures and flavors. They also gave us meringue cookies on the house at the end! read more

Good lord, this place is amazing. Delicious food, reasonably priced, in a great space. Definitely not to be missed!

Had a spectacular meal at Allium on our tequila tasting trip. The food was more than comparable to any of the restaurants I frequent in the states. The menu was diverse and filled with great flavors and spices. The following are a sample of the dishes we ordered, each one was great.

Food was excellent. Service was great. And the place is cute and cozy. The hardest part was picking what I wanted as I was dining alone.

Best dinner we had in Guadalajara. The food is exceptional in flavor and presentation. We called for a reservation for 2 people and there was only room inside. Inside dining is nice as your can watch the dishes be prepared. However, when there was room to sit on the terrace, staff gave us the option to move outside which we did. One of the co-owners/chefs came out to greet us and check on us which was a nice touch. I'd definitely return back to Allium the next time I'm in town. read more

Wow. Just wow. This is one of the best meals I've ever had. Everyone was so nice and attentive throughout the evening! Chef created some perfect combinations that I never thought possible. It was harmony for the entire night. A few examples include: an amuse-bouche of a miniature octopus taco, a delicious shrimp ceviche, perfect beef-tongue open faced tartines, and a perfectly cooked slice of white fish in a yucatan-inspired salsa, Team Allium is amazing! read more

Rich in flavor, rich in hospitality, fantastic seafood (in a city where there is no sea, mind you), great desserts - you MUST go to Allium if in Guadalajara. This is modern Mexican cuisine at its best. Probably the best meal we had in the entire city. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. read more

Allium is a unique bistro experience worth trying. The tuna with uni, and salmon tiradito appetizers were excellent (but rich). The smoked beet salad, and cherry tomato with burrata salad, showed off the fresh produce of Guadalajara. We shared the confit duck main. It was tender, moist and delicious but weirdly presented as shredded meat reconstituted as a brick. The banana bread and French toast deserts were playful interpretations of two classics. Definitely worth a return visit. read more

It's been a while since we've been but we still talk about the alas de pescado and pulpo. The food is damn good.

When I first arrived in Guadalajara, I went straight to Allium since it was close to where I was staying. The host was a really handsome fella who also spoke perfect English, so I immediately felt more comfortable. I pretty much just looked through Yelp photos and decided on what to order, but later learned that their menu changes very frequently. Good: The restaurant was very clean and spacious with modern designs. There wasn't a lot of people, which was perfect for me since I am not a fan of crowded places. Service was attentive and I can honestly say I've had a great experience here. Now onto the food...I've had the Roasted Octopus & Panzanella Salad for 160 peso ($10.62 CAD) and the smoked beet carpaccio for 120 peso ($7.97 CAD). I've asked my waiter if that was enough for one person (you know, fancy places tend to be very small portions) and he assured me it's more than enough. When the food arrived, I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the presentation was, and even surprised by how good the food was. I was just in Italy a few weeks ago and I thought I had the best octopus there, but turns out the best octopus I've ever had was in Mexico! Crispy and crunch on the outside, soft and tender on the inside...I was blown away. I was already full after the two dishes, but the waiter really sold the mango cheese cake so I decided to try it too. Another incredible dish! The cake was so fluffy on top and really rich, but I was too full to finish it. Bad: nothing at all. Bottom Line: Incredible restaurant, I would definitely go back! My whole meal came to no more than $22 CAD total for a really delicious meal. read more

In a recent vacation, I and a couple friends stopped here for lunch on a recommendation around 2pm. The place was empty, which is not a complaint as we received very attentive service. We had a couple bottles of wine. The main courses are very small so we ordered several different entrees and shared tapas style, to include the octopus and the duck. Everything was delicious. The service was perfect. The bearded host/waiter spoke English and was very handsome! I highly recommend this restaurant. read more
