“ Lovely and romantic little place. The atmosphere is fantastic with the decor, outdoor courtyard, and little old man playing the piano. I had the flank steak which was good but didn’t blow me away. The dessert, on the other hand, was fantastic. I was going to get something else but the waiter urged me to try their house specialty (not sure the name). One of the best things I’ve eaten in Mexico! ”
“ I liked this restaurant a lot! Its design is very nice, all decorations are beautiful. The food I ordered was tasty. Also the menu has a few very interesting items to try. Prices are a little bit high, but mostly reasonable. I absolutely recommend to check this restaurant! ”
“ I found El Sacromonte on a best of list for Guadalajara, and let me tell you it did not disappoint! The food was excellent and the service was impeccable. The atmosphere is what I think of as a traditional Spanish inspired Mexican restaurant. The ambience was magical to say the least. There is no reason at all you should move past this on your decision of where to dine if you are reading this. You have to try the Quesadilla, don’t worry it’s not what you would expect of a boring standard quesadilla. Instead, it was empanada style with strawberry aoli infused with rose. 5/5. Followed that with the Goya Mosaic. A woven smoked salmon with panela cheese. Gave lox and bagels vibes. Very good. 4/5 I had the duck entree, and it was the best duck dish I have ever had. The sauce was sweet yet savory. Paired with the duck meat and the beautifully fatty skin the was delightful and took the flavors to another level. 5/5. Finally, we finished with the Pollo Mole. This was fantastic and exactly what you think of when having a mole. 5/5. The 4.6 rating is to low for this restaurant , seriously. Don’t miss out on an amazing experience. I feel horrible that I can’t remember my waiter’s name but he was excellent! I don’t speak that much Spanish, however he made me feel like I was doing a great job and made the overall experience something I will never forget about my trip to Guadalajara. ”
“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at this vibrant restaurant that puts a delightful flair on traditional Mexican cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the inviting atmosphere—pops of colorful lanterns, beautifully patterned table linens, and a stunning mural near the bar that all complemented each other tastefully. The service was attentive and friendly, making our ladies’ lunch all the more enjoyable. I ordered the shrimp avocado salad, which was absolutely delicious—fresh, tangy, and perfectly balanced with high-quality ingredients. Adding to the wonderful ambiance, a talented pianist played live music throughout our meal, enhancing the experience with a relaxing and elegant touch. Overall, this restaurant offers an excellent combination of great food, inviting decor, and warm hospitality. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a fresh take on classic Mexican flavors in a lively yet welcoming setting. ”
“ I went here for my birthday and had the chile en nogada. I told the waiter about my birthday and he brought me this with one of those trick candles that won't burn out. He took some good pictures too. He asked where my friends are. I said I have some here, but they're busy, and we can celebrate this weekend. He said the dessert is a hug from him. Very nice old man. The dessert wasn't particularly special, but the sentiment is, and the nogada is an unusual experience. Very rich, so be prepared to take some home. It's extremely sweet. ”
“ This place doesn't get the recognition it deserves. The food is among the best if not the best food I've had in this region of Mexico. I had the Duck. It was fall off the bone tender and delicious. My husband had the steak and it's was one of the best, cooked to the perfect medium rare temperature (hard to find that in this region). We had the Goya's Mosaic for the appetizer it was so good. They combination of the salmon, cheese cucumber and the other sides just splendid. 100/10 highly recommend. I'll be going back again. ”
“ There’s nothing to dislike about this place. Service is fantastic. The atmosphere and ambiance is great. And the food? Incredible. I had the September Chile and I can’t possibly recommend it more highly. English menus are available if needed. ”
“ This is a beautiful restaurant, decorated with torero theme. The dishes are really interesting. There's a variety of gourmet Mexican food. Everything looks delicious. I tried the quesadillas with rose petals. DELICIOUS!!! And the molote de verduras, which is like crepe with veggies inside. ALSO DELICIOUS!!! There are no vegan options, though, except for the salads, maybe. Anyway, I loved the restaurant! The waiter was super polite and knowledgeable, and he explained and recommended dishes. The service was excellent! Food came in fast, and the presentation was amazing! DE ALTA COCINA! ”
