El Sacromonte

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.

Sacromonte is 25 years old. The decor has changed from Mexican minimalist to baroque with touches Mexican and arab; the veranda is now a interior garden. But the important part is: the food is delicious just as the first day. When the restaurant opened it was too expensive for me, so my dear friend Paco and me used to go to share a Sopa Viejo Progreso (roquefort and chipotle in a surprising, sinful affaire) and a Ensalada de las Colonias (goat cheese - difficult to get in the city at that time- over croutons in letucce crowned with fried onion). My incoming has improve, I actually could afford a whole meal, but those dishes remains among my favorites. If you are in a group - as I was yesterday- order the Quesadillas with rose petals with strawberry sauce to share; try a bite of the sour xoconostle with them, a welcome contraste. Then it could be my beloved Old Progress cream, or the Lentil soup with plantain. The main dishes are delicious all around, the Chile in nogada a bit sweeter but delicious nevertheless. In summer I use to ask for the Ceviche with mango as main dish, it is a big portion. In the desserts the Mexican choice is the Pan de elote, a sort of corn bread made with fresh corn instead of meal. Also good is the Morralito (a crepe filled with fresh corn ice cream) and the crema catalana (creme brulee). Alas the chocolate cake is not as good as used to be, it was not warm but tepid. And dissapears from the menú the fried profilerol filled with ice cream. Sad but there is great food to visit, again and again, Sacromonte.

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!!!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

Exquisite gourmet Mexican cuisine. Note to self: when we return to Guadalajara come back here again and order the first item on the main course menu which is the stuffed bell peppers. The ambiance here is wonderful and there was a piano player performing throughout the meal.
