Alcalde, meaning "mayor" in Spanish, presents chef Francisco "Paco" Ruano's interpretation of frank Mexican cooking within Guadalajara. Ruano's culinary perspective is rooted in the flavors of Jalisco, his home state, enhanced by European influences gained from stints at El Celler de Can Roca, Mugaritz, and Noma. The restaurant emphasizes seasonal ingredients and simplicity, striving to translate the region's culinary heritage into contemporary gastronomy. While Alcalde does not currently hold any Michelin stars, it has earned recognition as one to watch, securing a place on the Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants list. The restaurant offers a tasting menu, alongside an à la carte selection. The ambiance is stylish and welcoming, with vibrant dishware enhancing the dining experience.
