      The place is beautiful and great service with a side of music of traditional mariachi bands. Loved the atmosphere and the overall experience. Food quality was basic, apparently from per our friends this place used to be really good until they turned into a tourist trap at tlaquepacue.... Again definitely come here for the experience but food was okay.

      A little off the beaten path but if you find it, you won't be disappointed. Awesome atmosphere and the food is very good! Mariachis, tequila, birria, mole...you can't go wrong here!

      Second time coming to this restaurant, good food, great service & entertainment. Parking in the back is very convenient. Close to all the little shops with authentic Mexican handcrafted items, close to the main plaza.

      Avoid this place, server was rude, just took our order and never came back, food was dry and no flavor at all, have to ask for lemons and salt, the only bad experience in my whole 1 week trip to Guadalajara.

      Delicious food but the service was a little lacking. Had to ask for a new server. Maybe next time it'll be better.

      Great ambiance but the service was terrible. The food was expensive and the quality of the meat was inedible. Those of us in the group that dared eat it got sick the next day. They charged $98 usd for a "parillada" for 4 but it was the sized for two. It would be okay if the food was good, but the meat tasted old and chewy. The ambiance is great. They had a mariachi band. It was a bad experience for us.

      We went back twice during our trip! The vibe is excellent! We made friends with our server Gerardo he was the best and both times we made sure we were with him! They have 2 Mariachi's 1 who we also made friends with! This place is way better than El Parian though my only complaint is how early they close the food is delicious I didn't get a picture but the Gorditas were A+++! Had about 4 Casuelas each time we went and we literally left crawling out of there it was a great time! Next time I'm booking the hotel that's right in front of this place LOL

      Best food ever. I live abroad but my family always takes me to El Abajeño whenever I am in town. They have the most delicious assortment of meats and you will never go home hungry.

      The mariachi always makes a difference... it's so comforting and fun. This is the place you need to go to if you're looking for a great meal and a good time.

      First time here and I will definitely be back. Our food was good and the entertainment was awesome. Prices where very reasonable. Service was a little slow.
