Place is nice inside.
Waitress didnt speak English, ordered muscles and was told its alot of garlic, it had no garlic and was just salty and chewy.
Ordered oaster shooters and was told it was in tomato it was in chili.
Liquor is way over priced as well.
Won't be back

The micheladas there are bomb. The shrimp cocktail is so good and they are not stingy with their shrimp.

This is probably the best seafood restaurant I’ve been to where everything has so much flavor! One of the best restaurants in the high desert area hands down.

Seafood restaurant with horrible service!! Extremely LOUD and noisy. Non Existent Service!!! This is a bar disguised as a restaurant. Witnessed a guy vomit ! Another fall over drunk! Not a place to take your family. Maybe a place to take your drunk buddies to listen to music and get DRUNK!!! I will give you a warning! Do not take your family!!! By the way they just ignored the vomit on the floor and kept serving food!!! Gross!!!! The waitress was too busy listening to the band to take your order !! Over an hour just to order! And she brought the wrong food!!! And she called us liars until she checked her order slip then went back and brought back probably the same plate just different sauce!if you still go there after everything I just mentioned be prepared to spend $50-75 for just ok food. Not worth it!!! Stay away. !!!!

Walked in to order food to take out, asked for a tostada and the lady said that’s it? Shoulda walked out then and not wasted another 15 minutes just waiting for someone to maybe take my order and wait some more. Just get your food from down the hill before coming up and save the trouble

Arguably the very best seafood restaurant in Guadalajara is El Pargo. El Kaliman is as good without buying a plane ticket. Yudi was our server and she did an outstanding job. The decor is standard for this type of location. If our family had not taken us there, I don’t think we would ever have found it. Behind two other businesses not easily seen from the street. Go and enjoy! You’ll thank me later.

The deep fried baby octopus was super extremely deep fried it was more like having chicharrones
Super loud. A lot of activities that were questionable. The drinks weren't great. The food was not too bad. They have live band.

The music is so loud you can't hear yourself think. But the food is so worth it. 2 or 3 tacos, Kaliman will fill you up. The molcahete is really good. Camarones Costa Azul is worth trying. Definitely coming back.But i'm going to have a challenge for the mariachi's next time. Something Vintage

⭐️ If I could give this place ZERO stars, I would. Hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurant.
I placed a simple order for ceviche — and they completely messed it up. No big deal, mistakes happen, right? But what followed was an absolute circus of unprofessionalism, rudeness, and outright disrespect.
When I called to let them know the order was wrong, a staff member named Daisy told me over the phone not to worry — we could KEEP the incorrect ceviche since it had already been touched, and they had our correct order waiting. Seems reasonable.
But when we arrived, the story flipped faster than a tortilla on a hot comal. Suddenly, we were being told by a rude woman at the counter that we had to return the ceviche we were previously told to keep — the same one we had already sampled. Excuse me, what? You want us to bring back food that’s already been eaten? Gross and unsanitary!
Then came the gaslighting. They flat-out refused to give us our correct order. No refund. No solution. Just attitude. As if we were the problem.
To make things worse, I’m Hispanic — but I initially spoke to them in English out of habit. They must’ve assumed I didn’t speak Spanish, because the manager, Yennica, turned to another staff member and said — clear as day —
“Déjalo en paz, a lo mejor se aburre y se va.”
(“Leave him alone, maybe he’ll get bored and leave.”)
🤯 Are you kidding me?! I was stunned. This wasn’t just bad service — it was deceptive, disrespectful, and completely unprofessional. You don’t treat customers this way — especially when YOU made the mistake.
If you care about good food, respectful service, and basic human decency, stay far away from this place. They clearly don’t value their customers — and they definitely don’t know how to run a business.
Zero stars. And if you’re reading this, Yennica — I didn’t get bored. I got louder. 👋
