Oh my God, this place is f*cking legendary. The absolute best steakhouse I've had in Guadalajara. Not only is the food amazing, the quality of service and decor is God tier. Also, I loved the scene here. Everyone is dressed nicely, tons of good-looking people.
I was in Guadalajara on business and a co-worker took me here. Let's just say it was so good that we went here twice (on Tuesday and Thursday). The moment you step foot in the restaurant, you instantly notice how clean and modern everything is. There are huge TV screens littered throughout the restaurant that show you various wonders of the world. They also play soccer games! The ambiance was very laid back yet high-end. There is an upstairs portion of the restaurant, which is even more amazing. The upstairs was closed the first night (Tuesday) we went, but on the second night (Thursday) it was open and they offered to serve us up there. AWESOME.
The first night, for drinks, I had an Old Fashioned. Wonderfully made. They have a cool thing that they do here where they give you TWO drinks of whatever you order. SO AWESOME. So immediately after I finished my drink, the waiter swoops by and says, "Here you are sir" and hands me another drink. I almost jizzed my pants right then and there. We got one of the appetizers which was the fired octopus with Sriacha sauce. It was divine. When choosing the entree, they brought out a huge tray of various cuts of beef. We chose the Akaushi cut, which was apparently the best one they had. There was a separate guy for the wine, and he helped select a bottle that would pair well. AWESOME. Finally, the steak came out, and it was served on a huge slab of SALT. What?! Why can't they do that in the U.S? I've been to numerous high-end steakhouses and have never experienced this before. THIS PLACE IS LEGIT. Sides were awesome too (fries and mushrooms) Finally, they gave use a complimentary dessert. It was a churro dipped inside some sort of a sauce that I don't remember.
The second night we were upstairs, and for drinks, I had the Gin & Tonic. So delicious. All the cocktails they have are great. They even had a traveling cocktail master that walked around and made the drinks in front of the table. For appetizer, we ordered the ant eggs. We were hesitant at first, but our awesome waiter highly recommended that we try it. He called it the 'caviar' of Mexico. Let's just say I was really surprised at how good it tasted. It tasted really creamy, and having it alongside with guacamole and tortilla enhanced the flavors two-fold. For the entree, again they brought out the meat tray and we selected the organic ribeye. Spot on medium rare, and served again on the salt slab. I was in heaven, and my pants were ruined.
I had such a great time at this restaurant. I will come back here every time I visit Guadalajara. Shout out to our waiter (Bald looking guy during the Guadalajara vs Monterrey soccer game on May 25, upstairs in front of the huge TV array).
