Delicious and absolutely would go back! The iced latte was great, and they made a flat white cold for my friend as well. The waiters were very helpful and suggested good plates based on my allergies. I got 2 different vegetarian tacos, which came on blue corn tortillas, and they were SO tasty. Very different flavors between the two - which was wonderful. Their hot sauce was worth a try as well, such a nice kick! This adorable cafe has multiple levels and spaces to sit, so you could have a favorite spot or a different one each time. The atmosphere is lovely at lunch time - very chill and open.

Great interiors and delicious brunch. It was blue corn tortillas paired with the chorizo platter. Beautiful yard in the back. We were curious about a chili ingredient and because of limited Spanish, we were googling back and forth on translation. The waiter is so kind and brought back phone to Google up the picture of the chili pepper to show us. So warm and patient!

A wonderful place, will definitely be back to check more items. Coffee, drinks, and food were all excellent. Pancita sandwich is a must try , it’s not a classic for nothing ! Service was excellent too, and it features a great people watching of sophisticated, yet not snobby Tapatios mixed with visitors.

An amazing cafe with good coffee and great food. Recommend reservations if you can because it is popular and gets busy. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

Really, really loved this spot! Sat here with a friend for a few hours visiting over a delicious meal, drinks , and a dessert. They nailed the ambiance with the decorations, open feel, all the plants... Bravo! And the food was truly delicious, too.

The best coffee shop i’ve tried in Guadalajara. Great food and good coffee bean variety. The filtered drinks were really nice on the mouth. The milk based drinks were a little taim on the flavor, not enough punch on the taste but good and enjoyable. I’ll go back for sure.

Pal Real is one of my favorite places in Guadalajara, Mexico! Conveniently located in Arcos Vallarta, all the food is freshly made, and the cocktails are truly craft! These pics are just a few of my favorite things, because everything is delicious. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the music and general atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. You will not regret making Pal Real a spot to visit when you’re in Guadalajara!
