The Story
Inspired by our hometown, Guadalajara, Jalisco, we bring you the rich flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. As a family with years of experience in the restaurant industry, we know that great food starts with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes—no fast food, just real homemade dishes made daily with love.
We fell in love with this town and knew it was the perfect place to share our culture. At GDL, you’ll always be greeted with a warm welcome and delicious flavors that make you feel at home.
