We requested vegan options while making our reservation, and I was treated to an amazing vegan tasting menu. Each plate was creative, presented beautifully, and was an exciting tasting experience. The artichoke in white mole sauce may be the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten.

The vegan tasting menu that was prepared for me also cost less than the regular tasting menu, which was a delightful surprise to get such a wonderful dining experience at that cost.

My friends tasted several dishes and agreed that they were not only delicious, but in some cases, the best dishes of the night, including their non-vegan dishes. But they also thoroughly enjoyed their regular a la carte meals of course.

An amazing fine dining experience.

We visited Alcalde, the fine dining gem run by Eduardo Torres, whose impressive journey includes experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants like El Celler de Can Roca. Even without Michelin in Guadalajara, Alcalde’s well-deserved spot among the No.37 Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants 2023 is a testament to its excellence. The tequila and wine pairings and the tasting menu were impeccable, elevating the entire dining experience, and the server who explained everything in English was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. If Michelin ever comes to Guadalajara, this restaurant would easily be a match for any of the best. Every detail commanded respect, and I was especially blown away by the incredible flavor of the mezcal worm dish — a true awakening for the taste buds! 😍👏👍

Tasting menu at the chef's table was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed being able to watch all of the beautiful food come together in the kitchen. The vibes were great and the food wasn't bad. Definitely had some very unique flavors and delicious bites throughout the tasting menu. All of the dishes were visually stunning. The wine pairing left something to be desired though. The pours were quite light, and they reused the same wine for consecutive courses and a couple occasions which was a little disappointing.

A special occasion for super fun, with  unique food and  atmosphere. I recommend the wine pairing with the fixed course meal.

In terms of fine dining experiences this was fantastic. Some creative dishes that pushed new flavors and combos that were fun to try and then some very well executed classics as well. Experience and service were top notch and a fun crowd. If we are being super super nit picky for a place that's top 30 in the world. There could have been some more powerful and lasting flavors in their dishes. Nothing was negative everything was great but nothing really lasted with me after the meal. Food I'd give an 8/10 relative to the level they compete at. Overall absolutely recommend and incredible value for the price.
