Cafe12 restaurants
Street food11 restaurantsStreet food is where Guadalajara's identity lives, built on the torta ahogada, birria and the late-night taco stand.

Cocktail bar9 restaurantsGuadalajara sits in central agave country, so its cocktail rooms tend to build around tequila and mezcal rather than imported spirits.
Bakery8 restaurantsGuadalajara keeps a strong panaderia habit, and the newer wave leans hard on long-fermented dough and butter-rich laminations.
Taqueria8 restaurantsThe Guadalajara taco runs from al pastor and suadero off the trompo to the goat-birria plate the city is known for.
Wine bar8 restaurantsWine bars are a newer arrival in Guadalajara, concentrated almost entirely in the Colonia Americana where the city's drinking culture has modernised.
Brewery7 restaurants
Mexican modern5 restaurantsGuadalajara has become one of Mexico's serious contemporary-cooking cities, with tasting kitchens reworking Jalisco's ingredients.

French fine dining2 restaurantsFrench fine dining is a narrow category in Guadalajara, carried mostly by one ambitious room.
Seafood2 restaurantsGuadalajara sits inland, but its proximity to the Pacific coast keeps fresh fish and shellfish moving into the better kitchens.
Latin American1 restaurantPan-Latin cooking is a thin seam in Guadalajara, but it has a long-running standard-bearer.
New American1 restaurantNew American cooking barely registers in Guadalajara, where the dining culture runs through regional Mexican and modern tasting menus instead.
