    La Casa de los Platos - Tacos de lechon

    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

    Dear lord these gorditas are finger licking good!! I tried 3 different ones. The first was chorizo…read morewith potato which was my least favorite but it was still good. The second was mole with chicken, the flavor was just right not to sweet not to spicy, a very pleasing flavor. My favorite was the chicharrón(pork rind), I would have had 10 of these if I could. The chilaquiles are ok at best, was to impressed in all honesty they tasted more like tomate sauce and tortillas than chilaquiles. I will definitely return here next time I come to visit Guadalajara. No mames! Estas gorditas están para chuparse los dedos! Me chinge 3 gorditas, una de chorizo con papas que estaba más o menos. Una de mole con pollo que estaba al punto y el mole ni dulce ni muy picante sabor muy agradable. My favorita es la de chicharrón, me ubiera comido como diez de estas gorditas! Los chilaquiles no me impresionaron sinceramente, sabían más a tomate con tortilla que chilaquiles. Cuando regrese a Guadalajara voy a volver a regresar aquí.
