El Abajeno

Reviewed By arielpayat

Dine with friends while visiting the tourist area. The ambiance is cool due to trees..maybe.
Ordered mushrooms and bine marriw soup. My colleague also a soup and a ensalada. My colleague soup arrive but mine is not. Need to follow up.
The soup and mushroom I ordered taste great.
We pay by credit card. The bill was nit so expensive. Upon leaving, the waiter would ask for a tip and we gave them 100pesos only. They forgot my soup but not their tip hehehe.

Casa Fuerte

Reviewed By Claudetteth - Charlottetown, Canada

While in Plaquepaque, be sure to explore this area and take in this restaurant. Seven of us are here and found the food outstanding!
The service was also excellent! No pretentious airs just down to earth people giving great service. I was happy that they spoke Spanish to us and that we were able to try to converse back.
All meals are served with salsa as well as some spicy sauce - there was bread and fajita shells...all making for a yummy pre meal appetizer.
We ordered guacamole and fried cheese as appetizers. Our mains consisted of Tequila shrimp, coconut shrimp and chicken in a shell with Mole sauce. Everything was excellent- the portion size was large and the flavours sensational.
We had margaritas and wine to drink...also very good and affordable.

After checking out Tripadviser we went here for dinner
What disappointment....it’s in a hotel and the atmosphere was just above a cafeteria. The menu was very limited with only 5 pasta choices,the other part of the menu was boring with no description at all just salmon, tuna etc...no sauces or sides mentioned
The food was just ok , not nearly as good as some other restaurants that are on Calle Indepencia.
Go to El Patio , la Luna or Casa Fuerte instead
Our waitress was wonderful but it’s not her fault

Real San Pedro

Reviewed By Harry P - Sayulita

Six of us arrived for an early meal on our first evening in Tlaquepaque. We got there about 7pm and the restaurant was empty, but it filled up almost completely in the next few hours. The room is absolutely beautiful, with great art and artifacts. The menu is inventive, with a lot of game (quail, venison, wild boar, etc) as well as delicious seafood. The entire meal was wonderful, and the staff had no problem splitting a couple of the plates between guests. Accommodating, comfortable, enjoyed by all of us disparate folk.

Cinquecento Pizzeria

Reviewed By Denise M - Guelph, Ontario, Canada

Soooo good! We're not usually fans of thin crust pizza, but this place changed our minds. Perfectly baked, hand stretched pizzas with delicious sauce and fresh toppings. There is no big sign out front to make the place stand out, so keep looking until you see the wood fired oven near the front. Seating for about 30. Good wine selection. Very good service too!
