    This is on a side street right across from Cerveceria Chapultepec in Andares. I have walked by…read morethis restaurant countless times while visiting Guadalajara and staying at the Hyatt Regency. 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!

The Ceviche Docena was outstanding--fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced, clearly made with top-quality seafood. The biggest surprise of the night, though, was the beef tongue taco. Wow wow wow. Incredibly tender, deeply flavorful, and easily one of the best tacos I've had in a long time. I would fly back just for that taco. We also tried the escamoles taco since we always like to try something new. While it was interesting and I'm glad we experienced it, it's not something I'd order again--but no regrets. OMG! The Iberico!!! Just shut up and get it. Overall, a fantastic meal with great service, beautiful ambiance, and some truly memorable dishes. Don't skip the ceviche--and absolutely do not miss the beef tongue taco.

Fantastic choice! Restaurant was full at lunchtime, although we were seated properly without a reservation. Not outside, but had an outdoor feel. Extensive seafood menu, heavily oriented toward fresh oysters, clams, and other amazing seafood, which was all presented in a fantastic manner and delicious. Anyone that thinks this place was pricey or not a winner must've had a bad experience that would've been out of the ordinary in my opinion. It's not cheap to be sure, but it was not expensive. In my opinion great quality and nice. Nice portions. We had two primary servers who are pictured in this review. Ignacio and Lalo - incredibly friendly and obviously wanted us to enjoy our meal. Made excellent recommendations definitely added to the wonderful late lunch experience. We travel a lot, and this is clearly some of the best seafood/oysters we've had in a long time.

We got there and they had immediately an available table, right after us, the waiting list started. The place is a nice modern style restaurant with just about 20 tables. Our waiter was Gris. She was amazing! Three of us decided to have the capellini with Seared Tuna, my mom went for a fettuccini alfredo, nephew chose the chicken cannelloni, and my nice wanted something diet approved, so she had the chicken (I have to confess I don't remember the name) everything was really good, with the exception of the chicken, that one was lacking a bit of flavor (diet approved right?). And yes, we're one of those families that we taste everyone's food :P This place is right in the heart of the restaurant area at Andares shopping mall, which makes it also a very nice place, where you can also enjoy watching plenty of people walk by and you can also have a nice walk after lunch and just kill some time. If you have people in your party that likes pasta, this is a place to visit!

    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
