This is my favorite mall in Guadalajara. I like the others, but what really stands out here is the…read morefood court. There is this tiny Carnitas place that down home Michoacan style cooking. I always get hungry shopping and the fast food they serve in ANDARES blows. Plaza del Sol has been around for decades and it has a 80's retro feel around the edges. Those edges are a little rough in places, but they have done a great job modernizing along the way. The new parking structure is a great example. I scored some deals here during the 'Buen Fin' and like the style that is different from the Men's shops in the USA. Watch out after dark, those not-so-young ladies across the street have a wicked reputation and most of them have an adams apple. That is, unless you are into that sort of thing.

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.

The quality of the…read moremerchandise is quite good, with worthwhile contemporary art, mixed in with religious and secular antiques. Be sure to stop by the Trocadero antique store (just across the street from the market) to see a shop full of quality antiques (Mexican and European) at fair prices. Suggest arriving after 9:00 am since that's when most dealers are just beginning to set up. If you mention "trocadero" to taxi drivers they'll get you there (somewhat difficult to find on your own). I've never experienced any safety concerns at the market.

But I came here to La Gran Plaza for a walk about and lunch since I was at a conference down the street and the sushi restaurant is not too shabby. The mall is brightly lit and clean, so if you're down to walk around and window shop, La Gran Plaza is worth a visit.
