In its bright and colorful restaurant, Alcalde serves modern Mexican cuisine with upscale flair in its friendly, Guadalajara-area eatery. The tostada de atún tuna piled on a crisp tostada with guacamole and radish and the tartar of smoked tomato juice, scalded egg yolk and pickled vegetables make unique and tasty starters. Some of Alcalde's specialty entries include the smoked octopus with vegetable risotto, the duck in adobo sauce with shrimp, chilies and eucalyptus and the juicy steak in pan jus.

Alcalde's coconut parfait with raspberry ice cream, elderberry juice and cilantro makes a perfect end to a delectable meal.

Excelente ambiente y servicio. Comida deliciosa y cuidada hasta el último detalle. Si bien el menú degustación con maridaje es una experiencia gastronómica sin igual, no creo que valga su costo

Alcalde is a world-class dining experience, without the pretense of fussier experiences. The food is superb: inventive, exciting and exquisite. The environment is wonderfully understated and ambience lively. And, above all, the service blends Mexico’s signature warmth and fine dining standards. Do not miss Alcalde!!
