Reminiscent of the Vegas and Hawaii high end buffets, Cassola offers some great eats. They have your traditional breakfast foods along with a wide selection of breads, cheeses, meats, salmon and even have a section for vegetarians. You can have them make custom tostadas, omelets and other awesome Mexican cuisines. Service was amazing coffee was always filled and they are very attentive. Definitely check this place out if you stay at the Hyatt!

The front view from the main road looks like greenery and difficult to see it's a restaurant. The best part about that is that is where the outdoor seating is and you feel like you are out of the city in a great cozy spot with loads of ambiance. Service was great, waiters were attentive enough. Food was good, I wouldn't say great. We were a party of four, two adults and two kids. We appreciate they have a few vegetarian options and ordered the cheese enchiladas, three different tacos, chile renello and the queso fundido. Tortillas were plentiful and the salsas were very tasty. The "chips" they gave us when we sat were from a big Tostitos bag and obviously store bought not homemade like most places, this surprised me since the first time I got chips in Mexico that were from a bag...we don't even get these in USA at restaurants (always hot or fresher ones). The stars of our meal were: Arroz y Frijoles (yes, the rice and beans were better than our meals). My sons Enchiladas with verde sauce were all our favorite and had a good flavor. MY favorite of all was my Margarita Tamarindo, the best one I have ever had! If i wasn't so full I would have had 5 more! haha. This restaurant has been around for a LONG time and I can see why, I appreciate the veg options and I will surely be back everytime i'm in GDL. A must try!

I had breakfast here with friends a few days ago. First, the restaurant is beautiful, classy, roofed but open in the front (no worries, Guadalajara has wonderful weather), you're greeted by a gorgeous old carriage, and by staff dressed in traditional charro attire. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of chilaquiles and many other entrees. There are red, green, mole, poblano, and other kinds of chilaquiles from which to choose. I had some with egg, and extra grated cheese and loved it. The ambience is casual but nice. You could go dressed up or casual and fit in. I would have taken more pictures, but I didn't want to be rude to my hosts who invited me. If you like Mexican food and chilaquiles, if you are ever in Guadalajara you need to ensure Los Chilaquiles is on your list of places to go. The service we experienced was first rate. They are located on Avenida Patria in between the Andares Shopping Center and the Plaza Universitaria. There is valet parking.

A Stage Set for Fire and Flavor…read more La Casa de los Platos, a massive restaurant set along a boulevard of equally grand dining halls in Guadalajara's upscale district, thrives on spectacle. Its open-air courtyard, framed by stone and saturated with color, hums with loud music and theatrical flair. The guacamole, made by hand at the table, embodies that performance. Avocados are crushed in a stone molcajete, and the spread arrives bright and tangy. Yet, it's complicated by unnecessary additions--cheese chunks and chicharrón--that crowd out the fruit's natural elegance. A mere five totopos felt stingy, though a sack of piping hot corn tortillas--generous, soft, and fragrant--rescued the moment. At a requested "level 3 of 10," the spice soared higher than expected, a jolt that overwhelmed rather than accented. The rib eye tacos with shrimp and bone marrow extended the show, grilled before us over roaring flames. They were hearty, flavorful, and undeniably filling, but also excessively oily. The flavors--shrimp's brine, marrow's depth, beef's richness--blurred into a dish trying to impress on too many fronts. It was delicious, yes, but a reminder that tacos often shine brightest in their simplicity. Later, a live mariachi band replaced the nightclub thrum, a refreshing turn toward tradition and warmth. Service was fine but forgettable, efficient enough without leaving an impression. In the end, La Casa de los Platos is a spectacle tailored for a high-heeled crowd seeking grandeur. The flavors are bold, the showmanship bigger still--but subtlety rarely takes the stage. #GuadalajaraEats #FoodCritique #LaCasaDeLosPlatos Un Escenario de Fuego y Sabor La Casa de los Platos, un restaurante enorme sobre una avenida repleta de lugares igualmente majestuosos en un distrito exclusivo de Guadalajara, apuesta por el espectáculo. Su patio abierto, rodeado de piedra y lleno de colores, vibra con música alta y una puesta en escena constante. El guacamole, preparado al momento frente al comensal, sigue esa línea teatral. El aguacate, machacado en molcajete, llega brillante y ácido, pero cargado con queso y chicharrón que distraen de su pureza. Apenas cinco totopos lo acompañaron, aunque un costal de tortillas de maíz--calientes, suaves y generosas--rescató la experiencia. Al pedir un picor "nivel 3 de 10," resultó mucho más intenso de lo previsto, eclipsando en lugar de realzar. Los tacos de rib eye con camarón y tuétano llevaron el espectáculo a la parrilla móvil, con llamaradas que robaban miradas. Sabrosos, abundantes y sustanciosos, pero demasiado aceitosos. La mezcla de sabores--la salinidad del camarón, la profundidad del tuétano y la riqueza de la carne--terminó siendo excesiva, un plato que buscaba impresionar con demasiado. Al final, los tacos, por definición, suelen brillar en su sencillez. Más tarde, un mariachi en vivo reemplazó la música de antro, ofreciendo un respiro de autenticidad y calidez. El servicio fue correcto pero olvidable, cumplidor sin dejar huella. En suma, La Casa de los Platos es un escenario grandilocuente para un público de tacón alto: sabores potentes y espectáculo aún mayor, donde la sutileza rara vez aparece. #GuadalajaraEats #FoodCritique #LaCasaDeLosPlatos

Our waiter Henoch spoke very good English and was such a pleasure to talk to! He was funny, helpful, and really made our experience that much better! For food, I don't recall the exact names of the items on the Spanish menu but all I can say is that the lobster tacos are an absolute must! They were amazing! We also had something that they called a mushroom casserole on the English menu which was delicious, as well as a very spicy shrimp ceviche type of dish, also excellent! Overall, we had such a great lunch experience that we decided to come back for breakfast the next morning. We were happy to have Henoch as our waiter again, but sadly we weren't very impressed by the food. My four stars are based on the lunch experience which I highly recommend!!!
