A goat

Awesome things to look at

This place was pretty cool, saw it while driving to our vacation rental. The colorful sculptures and animals are was caught my eye passing by. Overall this place was pretty good, there was a language barrier; but I'd definitely go back again. Just gotta brush up on my Spanish! Atmosphere 4/5 We sat outside to chill with the animals. It was an experience that's for sure. Some of the geese were a bit... ummm... persistent on trying to get our food. There are plenty of things to look at and see. So many animals and sculptures. It was a pretty cool place. Service 4/5 The hardest part was probably the language barrier, I know some Spanish but not fluent. There's not really any translations on the menu so there was a lot of google translate. But our server was really nice and tried the best he could to communicate with us. Service was pretty quick and everyone was very friendly. Food 4/5 As an appetizer everyone got a quesadilla which was awesome! We had 3 kids with us so have a pre snack was perfect. I got the veggie chimichanga which was pretty good. The sauce on the side was not as good. Definitely could have done without that on the plate. But the chimichanga was fried perfectly! Everyone else picked things on the menu, can't remember exactly what. But everyone was pretty satisfied overall with everything. The orange juice was probably my favorite. That stuff was fresh!!!!! You could also taste the freshness in the food. We assumed everything on that little farm was being used in our dishes.

Almuerzo con machaca.

We have been coming to Maneadero for more than 20 years. A local told us about this restaurant. We went in for a late breakfast. The sweet waitress gave us an additional menu for the restaurant next door as well . We ordered "almuerzo grueso" from the lobo with bistec ranchero. It was delicious. The steak ranchero was good the eggs beans and potatoes and homemade tortillas were perfect. My son ordered filet mignon from the other menu . It was delicious. It was served with potatoes,corn and a delicious purple shredded cabbage with a dressing on it . Very tasty . Filet done perfectly and it was a generous portion . We also ordered a pizza from the other menu and we were very surprised . They moved us to another table to make room for it . I figured it would be the size of a small dinner plate. Well it was huge oval shaped. It had purple onions, pork, pineapple and of course cheese and sauce and barbecue sauce drizzle, all baked in brick fired oven. I looked at what other people were ordering and everything looked so good. They have seating outside and some farm animals running around. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially for that area. You will be eating at the best local place for sure. Service was A+ as well .

I wanted breakfast but we couldn't find a restaurant on the main road. We were staying at Las canadas. We stopped at a liquor store and a gentleman told us about this place. We had good service and good food! They have some animals out back so that was pretty cool for the kids to go out after we ate. I would come back here.

For the area definitely a place to eat at. They give you a quesadilla with your meal/freshly made tortillas.

We were on a tour of the GUADALUPE VALLEY W/ ANSELL TOURS…read more We had originally planned on going to LATITUDE 32. However, our driver named CLEMENTE, suggested to my spouse we go here, La Cocina de Doña Esthela. It came with a Michelin Star, but that seemed questionable. We went there on the advice of the driver, CLEMENTE. It was decent food and fairly well priced. COST FOR 3, including driver initially $75.00. I chose the 3 ENCHILADA DINNER, as did my partner. OUR DRIVER ORDERED SHEEP!!! As we waited for the car, the waiter came running out looking for us, mumbling something in Spanish. When my partner returned minutes later, he had about $25 in hand in PESOS!!! He said, after that whole thing, they said that they had admitted to OVERCHARGING US!!! So: $50.00

This Michelin-starred restaurant in Valle de Guadalupe is an absolute gem! I'm so glad we made a…read morestop here for brunch -- it was truly a memorable experience. Despite being very busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. The space was a bit warm inside, but the incredible food and overall experience made it completely worth it. I had their famous Hotcakes de Elote (corn pancakes), and they were easily my favorite dish of the meal! They were unique, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I also tried their Machaca con Huevo, which was another standout. Everything we ordered was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. Their homemade tortillas and salsa were the perfect finishing touches and added even more authenticity to the meal. The service was excellent -- our waiter was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. The restaurant itself is spacious and has a wonderful atmosphere. I also noticed the staff singing "Happy Birthday" to guests a couple of times, making it a great spot for a special celebration. I would highly recommend stopping by if you're visiting Valle de Guadalupe. This is definitely a place worth experiencing for the food, hospitality, and unforgettable flavors!

The beef birria tacos come with so many accompaniments -- a full bowl of chopped onions, fresh cilantro, limes, and radishes. The amount of meat and tortillas was generous and we had trouble finishing it all. The consomme was SO delcious. Service was friendly and fast. Our server didn't speak much English so be ready to use google translate if you don't know much Spanish, but we had no issues communicating and ordering. There are restrooms available as well. They accept cash and card.

La Guadalajara specializes in birria, or Mexican stewed meats, and their food really hit the spot!…read moreSince they offered a variety of meats, ordering the tacos was a great way to sample a variety, and I got the Birria de Borrego (lamb) and the Birria de Chivo (goat), both of which were served in a corn tortilla along with chopped onions, cilantro, lime, radishes, a mild salsa of chopped tomatoes/onions/herbs, a spicy red salsa, and tortilla chips. Both of the meats were tender and delicious, though I slightly preferred the chivo (goat), which was meatier, leaner, and more flavorful. I also especially liked the mild salsa, which had a nice refreshing flavor, and the ability to customize the condiments on each taco. Everything was delicious and came at a good value, and the service was super friendly and attentive too!

Ahead of our brief time in Ensanada, we made it point to create an itinerary that let us explore…read morephysically, but also through food and drink, so we made sure a local coffee shop and Birrieria we're on the list, and I am so glad that birrieria turned out to be this spot in Zona Centro of Ensanada! Authentic, in every sense of the word, is how to describe Birrieria La Guadalajara. From the food, drinks, service, atmosphere and overall experience from entry to exit. Even though we were sweating the whole time, some from the sauces and some from the heat, we absolutely loved it! Before you even get to ordering, they bring out an egg assortment of toppings including limes, radishes, onions, cilantro and a trio of dips along with fresh tortilla chips. Each table has a standing bowl of red sauce that is authentic and spicy! But it is perfection on any taco along with the other toppings. So, just do it! The menu is straightforward and features a variety of birria including the classic beef, pork, lamb, cabeza, goat and tongue. If birria isn't your thing, they also have steak in a few varieties. Once you decide on protein, you then choose how it's served. Regular tacos, Quesotaco, or as a plate. With these you get to choose from flour or corn tortillas. Each plate and/or taco comes with refried beans and guacamole. Most of us decided on the sampler method, getting a variety of meats and birria. I personally went with the beef, lamb and pork quesotacos all served in fresh flour tortillas. The tacos were phenomenal! I had been on vacation for close to 8 days by the time we ate here and these tacos were the best bite of my trip! Overall, an absolute must try when in Ensanada!

Everything! I didn't even get a picture of my food because I was starving! Definitely coming back…read morewhen I visit again!!!
