Incredible table side service with a lively staff and delectable bites. Great atmosphere with a unique ceiling video display and library-esque aesthetic. A definite go-to for those seeking great food, unique setting, and friendly and attentive staff.

This place not only had the best service I’ve ever experienced in my entire life, it also had amazing food. You HAVE to ask for Uriel as your server. He was the most kind, diligent, and thoughtful server I have ever come across. Uriel gets everything you ask for served correctly, he gives the best recommendations, and he knows how to give great English and Spanish service. Our table walked away absolutely fulfilled and overjoyed at our experience here due to Uriel. Todos deben de pedir Uriel para ser su mesero en este restaurante. We got the palomitas de coliflor, the Don Juan ribeye, the ribeye brasileiro, queso fundido, and salmon bites. Everything we had was delicious and cooked to perfection.

This place was good to try when in Guadalajara. They have high standards and treat you with the best regards. When I walked in I was greeted by everyone and felt welcomed! The food they serve is superior to what you get on the street with an excellent environment. They treat the food with respect and their drinks because everything is delicious to the last taste this one lychee drink was good and also a berry one with vodka that I’d highly recommend! Everything has a price and just a matter of what you’re looking for so be prepared for them to recommend only the best if you’re thinking about your budget. Good times and greater food.

Popped on for lunch with a colleague. This is another place where I would pay for the food out of my own pocket. It would probably be a date or a celebration, but I’d definitely visit again. The staff were super attentive. If you want to be left alone this might not be what you want, but I enjoyed it. The food was served quickly and was tasty. The churros were a highlight, whenever I have had them before (in the UK) they have been a non-event. They were fluffy and light and I’d love more of the same. The only bit I didn’t like was the palette cleansers of hibiscus, tamarind sweet, or orange covered in salt and pepper. We were supposed to take them between sips of mezcal... they were a taste I have yet to acquire. The setting was possibly the most unusual I have experienced for a while. The dining room has a huge screen across it, which projected seascapes, bathing the whole room in a blue mist. As strange as it sounds the toilets are worth visiting too as they are a hall of mirrors with carousel horses thrown in for good measure (and they are clean).

Hands down, this establishment has the best restaurant vibe of all places I've been to. La Madalena spares no expensive when it comes to high class decor. The experience itself is worth an admission fee. Of course the food is good too but... the decor is phenomenal. Everything is covered in marble, mirrors, faux shrubbery or rustic wood. The atmosphere is on point. The music they played was EDM chill which pairs well with the light show the ceiling provides. Most of all, the bathrooms are exquisite. I've never been so amazed with the attention to detail provided by a restaurant until now. WOW!

Loved, loved, loved this beautifully made restaurant. The moving art work was so amazing! It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen in America.. this is one for the books, if you are going to Guadalajara please go here! The food & drinks were great but the decor and private room I had left me taken back!

Incredible atmosphere, the service is top! You feel accompanied by the waiters. I tried the Black Agua Chile and the Tacos Callejeros, both were amazing. The price is just right for the quality of service and food.
