Restaurante Alcalde Guadalajara Reviews from The Last Year
Alcalde is everything you can hope for.
The service was top notch. Emiliano was superb as was Samuel. The restaurant was tastefully decorated. The star of the show was the good. Dish after dish blew me away. The flavors were robust but balanced at the same time. The artichoke and coconut dish by far were my favorites.
Much better options in Guadalajara
After a week in Guadalajara, I can honestly say this was the only average meal I had all week. Unfortunately, it was also the most expensive. The food wasn’t bad, but several courses just lacked flavor. The cocktails were very good and a nice offering of tequila. Skip the wine pairing. The wines are not very good. I am not trying to be overly harsh, but we had better meals at octa, BRUNA and allium. Half the price (much less than half) and a way better meal. I assume Alcalde is trying for a star, but I think that is far away. Again, ok food, good service and nice atmosphere, but not worth the cost. Would not go back.
Good expensive place because it is famous, more for tourists than locals
It's a good place, the waitress is very friendly and the pig is excellent. The rest has a little good flavor, some corn dough. Drowned in sauce, and the rest to forget, I'm not saying it's bad but it's clear that it's not at all the favorite of the local people, a lot of foreigners who get carried away by the place given by some media, it's expensive and the local wine home It is very expensive, 375 pesos per glass, the white wine was not at the temperature or even the glass was served correctly. The atmosphere is nothing extraordinary but comfortable, very punctual in meeting the reservation time. It is not a great experience. In the end you leave with the feeling that they are abusing the price of being famous. Not so much because they are ingredients Expensive, as a local I don't know if I will return but I wouldn't take foreign friends to dinner there, Guadalajara has many places excellent and not necessarily arrogant
Original
Top notch fusion cuisine. Classical plates such as the aguachile are simply incredible, but this time a couple of the options we asked had kimchi and oriental flavors which I was not impressed with. Service was ok and the wine list contains a great selection.
I was very excited to try Alcalde after reading about the
I was very excited to try Alcalde after reading about the head chef's background including training in Spain and at Copenhagen's Noma restaurant. We were seated at the bar, which gave us a view of the kitchen. We watched the kitchen staff work seamlessly to prepare each dish. Our waiter guided us through the menu, explaining the origins of each unique dish. We sampled a variety of foods, including pickled hibiscus flowers, insects, aged duck in mole and guava sauce, and a popular Jalisco dessert called buñuelos. We ordered the wine pairing and were excited to get some white Mexican wines from Ensenada, along with a couple of mescal shots. A succession of incredible desserts brought the meal to a satisfying end. Celebrating my birthday at Alcalde was a memorable experience. The dining was exquisite, and the ambiance was beautiful, truly a unique and delicious experience.
Best Restaurant in Guadalajara Hands Down
It’s with great pleasure that I can write a review to say that the Alcalde I remember of a few years ago is back. Very back. Years ago I said that Alcalde deserved a Michelin star one day. Then for some reason I can’t explain I was met with a series of disappointing visits that seemed as if the chef had left the building. But apparently his sabbatical is over. We came here to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday and the experience was every bit the Michelin experience that I remember here and that I’m used to at the finest places in the world. The dishes were bursting with new and unexpected but intimately married flavors and the offerings and presentation were spot on. This place is once again without question the finest restaurant in Guadalajara for those who are discriminating and demanding of a fine dining experience. That Alcalde applies that to food that showcases the Mexican food experience and history makes it all the more special. The rice dessert remains the best dessert I have ever had anywhere. I have yet to come here and only eat one. My record is three. I stuck to two this time since I’m getting fat. A suggestion for diners - and the restaurant- demand only the original rice dessert and not any variation they put on the tasting menu. Why the restaurant would want to mess around with its premier and award-winning signature dessert I can’t understand. It’s foolish frankly. But their desire to keep innovating can be excused. However the tasting menu variation is far inferior to the original. They should discontinue it. If you don’t here you don’t get to say you ate in the best restaurant in Guadalajara. Don’t deprive yourself of that opportunity. And finally…please…if you come to Alcalde or any place of this dining level please please be sure to get the tasting menu. You don’t come to a place like this and order a la carte. You simply miss so much.
An absolute Must for Foodies!
Excellence in every way! Sat at the Kitchen’s Table and were so well looked after by Alberto (thank you for all the recommendations) and Sam too. Watching the kitchen staff work was like watching a well rehearsed, choreographed performance laid out in front of you with each member/dancer knowing their piece and delivering with precision and passion - a joy to watch. We had the Deer Tartare, the Octopus and lots of lovely extras provided too; do leave room for dessert - we had the rice pudding with lemon ice cream with a twist! Great wines by the glass and one of the best mojitos I have ever had! Loved the whole experience. A must for foodies! Thank you, Maria & Paul
Elevated and inventive
Wonderfully experience at this restaurant with impeccable food and service. Food inventively combined different flavors and ingredients in interesting and delicious ways. Ambiance was relaxed and elegant. Food was beautifully plated and presented. Staff was attentive and polite. The attention to detail was impressive as we watch staff hustle all night making plates as we sat at the counter looking at the kitchen. The criollo blue corn tortillas were soft and yummy. The only thing that was just ok was the wine pairing with the tasting menu.
Exceptional!
My partner and I ate at Alcalde in December, for the second time. If we liked the first one, we loved this one! Paco Ruano's cuisine is different, exquisite and always surprising. We ordered an a la carte menu. I want to highlight that the octopus and tamale were of exceptional flavor. We slowly enjoyed each bite. The presentation of the food is very good. The bread and starters, delicious. The attention is pleasant. My only comment for improvement is the dessert we ordered, the bitter chocolate one, which should never be missing from a menu. This one was good, but being Mayor, it may be more special. I hope that Michelin arrives soon in Guadalajara, Alcalde is as good or better than others in the rest of the country.
Terrible food
I came back after 1 year and changed the entire menu and it is terrible from the starter to the dessert, I really don't recommend it at all.
Very Expensive - Good But Nothing Spectacular - Muy caro - Bueno pero nada espectacular
We did the tasting menu and the food was very good and innovative as well as the presentation was great. There were definitely some great parts to our meal. However, having done tasting menus all over the world, I found the price was too high for what it was. We also ended up paying over $1,100 Pesos for a bottle of NON-ALCOHOL bubbly and had we known we would not have ordered it. That is even more expensive than some very well-known wines and champagnes with alcohol. The service was very attentive and good but it was a little overdone. If I were ever to go back we would definitely do the a la carte menu. I've been to better restaurants in GDL and around the world (I don't think we would go back). Having been to fine dining restaurants in many major cities (including GDL), I found this slightly overrated for its reputation. Hicimos el menú degustación y la comida era muy buena e innovadora, además de que la presentación fue genial. Definitivamente hubo algunas partes geniales de nuestra comida. Sin embargo, después de haber hecho menús degustación en todo el mundo, encontré que el precio era demasiado alto para lo que era. También terminamos pagando más de $1,100 pesos por una botella de champán SIN ALCOHOL y si lo hubiéramos sabido no lo habríamos pedido. Esto es incluso más caro que algunos vinos y champagnes con alcohol muy conocidos. El servicio fue muy atento y excelente, pero un poco exagerado. Si alguna vez volviera, definitivamente haríamos el menú a la carta (No creo que volveríamos). He estado en mejores restaurantes en GDL y en todo el mundo. Después de haber estado en restaurantes elegantes en muchas ciudades importantes, lo encontré un poco sobrevalorado por su reputación.
Disappointing Experience at Alcalde
⭐️ My recent visit to Alcalde in Guadalajara left much to be desired. The exorbitant prices of the food did not align with the small and chaotic atmosphere. The staff appeared untrained, lacking coordination during service. While the presentation was impressive, the taste fell significantly short of the high cost. The tasting menu was a letdown, with only a few dishes meeting an average standard. I expected a fine dining experience but encountered a disorganized and subpar service. My advice to anyone seeking a true culinary adventure and breathtaking ambiance is to save their money and opt for Bruna instead. Alcalde should reconsider its approach and focus on delivering a more consistent and enjoyable dining experience. Regrettably, I have decided that I will never go there again. Additionally, the constant push for drinks throughout the meal felt forced, as if the staff had a quota to meet.
Alcalde was a great choice while being in town and wanting
Alcalde was a great choice while being in town and wanting great food. The service was great, the Ambiance is relaxed nothing too crazy and the food was definitely different. You have to be willing to try new things if you want to participate in the tasting menu.
An absolute dump fire.
Start to finish zero service and food gross. The place is clean and that about it but my cup w water smelled bad.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Bid and Buy Instantly
I have a big ongoing and it also shows someone is working on my bid. Today I see there is a " Buy Instantly " option at my portfolio showing same price I've bid for a reservation. I'm a bit confused, since my money has already been deducted from my credit card for the bid, do I need to pay one more time for the Buy Instantly? If I choose Buy Instantly, can I cancel my bid ( while someone is working on it )? Thanks!
