The place is is wall to wall tables and they were all filled when I went. They have table clothes (not fancy, but nice) and fried torillas (like chips, except full rounds) on the table with three kinds of salsa. The service was good and the food came out lightening fast. I am a vegan and I went because Yelp says that it is vegan friendly.... which is hard to find in Guadalajara. I only saw one vegan option, which were potato enchiladas. They were good, but they did not blow me away.

All the staff worked together to make sure everything was taken care of. Tomato bit salsa was good with the tostadas, the green sauce was good and the red sauce was the hottest. Guacamole was excellent, nicely seasoned with a little kick to it. I ordered the chorizo quesadillas and they lacked a lot of flavor. The beans were just ok, and the torta to me tasted like a wet pizza. A bit disappointing. To me this was more of a Tex Mex meal than an authentic Mexican meal. Pricing for 4 people was good but I don't think it was as good as reviews say and I'm sure there's plenty more good stuff in the area. I personally wouldn't recommend being that there's plenty out here to try but I might consider trying something else here to try before I give up on them.

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

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.

Ready for some steakhouse cuisine when you're far from home and all they seem to have is tacos?…read moreWell you're in luck because this place has got your cravings by a covered. Just to preface I really think this place is more of a 4-star joint but they just tried so hard. But onto the goodies. Made a reservation to come in, and when we arrived my lady went up to the hostess to be let in. They told her the kitchen was closed. I was busy paying the Taxi, but when I walked up in a suit and told them I was 5 minutes early for my reservation they changed their tune. All of a sudden this place was open and the welcome mats were placed at our feet. The service felt rushed, so I recommended coming in closer to dinner time. When you can enjoy a less hurried experience. We started with calamari a salad and pork tacos. I went for the ribeye and didn't look back. My The steak was a bit overcooked as the searing went a little deep, but overall it was still juicy and pretty good. They brought out a little hat and some complimentary dessert for my birthday which was nice and even sang las mañanitas.
