SUPER nice service from the kindest waitress ever (she even got our son a sweatshirt when he was cold). There was a huge rain/wind/hail storm and the glass doors made me very anxious, but again, the waitress was awesome and helped us move. The food was VERY good (ensalada de papaya verde, pollo frito, eggplant, sticky rice) except for the slightly strange green curry, but when we mentioned it, they brought us another, better version. Good food, wonderful service. A bit pricey, but I would go back! Hello, Thanks for coming and visit us. Unfortunately Guadalajara is being having huge climate changes and that night wasn't a normal rain it was a huge storm. Hopefully you come back and give us a 5 star review!

The restaurant is quite new in the city apparently and has a nice wide variety of ramens and other traditional Japanese dishes, no waiting time at 1pm and the place is nice and quite. Prices are completely affordable too. Service was professional and friendly.

My partner and I went to Guadalajara for the first time and when we were looking for places to eat we were told this place was amazing! They were completely right!!! The food was incredible (The pâté en croûte was to die for) and the service was out of this world, our server Santiago went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed! I’ll definitely be coming back! Hello antorr31,Thanks for your visit and for this great review. Im glad we fulfill your expectations. Please come back when you are in town.

The writing was on the wall - the moment we sat down...this was labeled as "Spanish restaurant"...first thing they offered was an assortment/menu of Gin and tonics???, where is the Rioja wine. I asked for a cold bottle of Albarino...the waiter looked puzzle and immediately said "we do not have it"...I looked at the wine list and right on the top line is Rias Baixas Albarino...they had it on the menu but no wine, we ordered a french wine that it was corked, tried another choice and they could not find it...so my friends and I decided to leave the table. I must say the maitre D' was very kind when I asked him to get us a taxi. Too bad I was in the mood for Spanish wine and food.We are so sorry your experience with us was so bad, We are working hard to improve this details, In your visit the Manager was not there and the waiter was new. We are terrible sorry for this disaster. If you can give us another chance we will gladly invite you the dinner and try our really experience.

We had high hopes for this meal based on reviews. Arriving at the appointed time, we were the only diners in the restaurant for a long time and only 5 other diners the entire night. The restaurant is obviously on its last leg. The restaurant is nice inside, but the chairs are hard plastic and uncomfortable for a long tasting meal.The restaurant specializes in a tasting menu of 8 or 12 courses. We chose the 8 course menu which had mostly misses and a few good items. The calamari packet was good and tasty to start. The salad with sun dried tomatoes also good. Salmon was not cooked well and is not even a fish native to Mexico. The roast baby pig was also good like a pulled pork. Many types of sauces are served with the courses. The dessert was a lava cake like what you get at Chili's and nothing special. The tableware is bargain basement like purchased at the Dollar Store.The bartender cannot even make a margarita in Guadalajara. The drink ordered on the rocks came like water with tequila and lime juice and was undrinkable (no ice cubes). They do have a nice wine list but red wines come to the table ice cold. The worst part of the evening was paying the check. They are supposed to accept credit cards but apparently have not paid the payment processor and could not process a credit card payment in any manner. Excuses included low batteries and poor signals. I was forced to take a taxi to an ATM to take out cash and return to pay the bill. They could have cared less and offered nothing for all of the trouble. Based on everything I saw, this place will be closed in two months or less if they can afford the rent that long. Perhaps, was good years past. I do not recommend this restaurant to anyone considering all of the other great places in Guadalajara. Avoid this one at all costs!Your comment is important to us, and we take seriously the opinions you express. At Lula Bistro, we take criticism as an opportunity to improve and to grow. Pleasing our customers through what we do best is our highest priority. To know your thoughts is valuable to us, and we thank you.

Taking into account that this was my first visit to Guadalajara, but I think that this place is good for its location. The food is above average but I have definitely had better. The menu is full of variations of dishes from all over, so there is a good chance you will find something to crave. In general, the food was OK, it did not blow my mind. Everything is well made and of great quality, it is just that it´s not great yet. The cocktails are just meeh! I would have loved to see some good mixology, but there is no cocktail menu. I ordered a Manhattan and it was just ok for the price. The whole place is pricey, but so is almost everything around this area. Somebody invited me to dine here, but if I had an opportunity so pick a place, I would not have gone there.Dear CyngtzWe appreciate that you took the time to give us your opinion. Your opinion is extremely important to us.We´ll start working on ways to improve our service and food. Thank you!!

To start it becomes an outdoor dinner experience but, indoors. Got to love that they display many of the menu dishes on flat screens including the preparation and ingredients. Great service from server. You ask and they will answer very politely. They will make sure before you start with your gastronomical experience if you are allergic to any items so they can go around it somehow. They want to make sure you don’t forget your experience at their place. Great flavor. Good fresh Salsas placed at tables for enjoyment. Had to order 2 starter dishes as they have great choices. Must try bone Marrow with the gray tortillas. This is the place for great cocktails to be enjoyed in a nice hot summer afternoon. Silverware and dish ware very original. Great selection of wines. Once you experience this place, you will want to comeback.

This was our first visit to Ofelia Bistro (March 22, 2019). We were quite impressed with the service. The entire staff was attentive, pleasant and orchestrated their visits to our table so that nothing was missing while not being disruptive of our table conversation. It was not that we lucked out with our wait staff. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make our experience a very special one. The food was just as outstanding. We had several dishes to try a variety of their cuisine. The seared tuna was cooked just right and was fresh. The octopus and escargots were tasty too, as was the "costilla de res". They have a varied wine selection too. I will definitely go back when I return to Guadalajara.Todo estuvo excelente. Gracias a Ofelia Bistro y su equipo por contribuir a una gran noche y una gran cena. Volveremos!We`re grateful to have a kind opinion like yours. This is very important to our crew to know that we can satisfy your taste and offering you a great experience. Thank you very much to share it here. Hope to see you soon at Ofelia Bistro.

I’m surprised that this restaurant is considered the best restaurant in Zapopan. When we went there around 5:30 pm , it wasn’t crowded. What was crowded was the restaurant downstairs called La Docina Oyster Bar. We were the only people seated in our section. Our waiter was very attentive, maybe a little too attentive. My wife ordered a steak that was $17 U.S. I had the chicken fried chicken. My wife, a carnivore, only ate a third of the steak which she found just ok nothing special. I liked the chicken fried chicken but the dish came with a small container of white gravy instead of poring the gravy over the steak and mashed potatoes which weren’t white but some off dark color. Our bill with tip was $1,000 pesos, the most we have spent on a meal so far in Mexico. So no I don’t think this restaurant should be rated as the best restaurant in Zapopan.Thanks for your visit. Our meat are Stearling Silver Quiality. We served for separed all sauces and dressings for the costumer could take the decition to use it or not. About our mash potatoes, we only use a fresh potatoes, we don't use cans, and for that the colour is natural no artificial white. Thank you again for your visit, but many people think we are one of the best restaurants in Zapopan.
