Café Chai Vallarta — Restaurant in Jalisco

Both a waiter in charge of my area as well as the manager there the day I was there were disrespectful towards me being an older senior American woman. My landlord told me they're below the bar and I should write a review. The waiter tried to charge me 50 pesos for $188 peso bill so I told him he had to give me back 30 pesos because that's all the tip I was leaving. The manager told me in Spanish which I understood enough that I should never come back there again because I was asking for a couple of different substitutions than what they were going to serve at this time even though everything I was asking for was on the menu and all the other chai locations have been more than accommodating towards me. Basically I have a lot of allergies plus I'm a vegetarian and at the moment I have dental issues so I have a very limited diet but most people are willing to work with me. If they're not they don't have the right to be...

I liked the venue, the outdoor seating, the very reasonable prices, the big cups of coffee and the security guard stationed by the outdoor seating of the restaurant. I thought the food was fine, not great although I could probably say the same thing for about every restaurant we ate at (we ate out daily) on our 10 day trip in and around Guadeljara. I will say that I did not find the coffee great at any restaurant including this one. I think the oddest thing at this cafe was that if you ordered coffee with milk they would serve the coffee and some amount of minutes later they would serve the milk and by then the coffee wasn't very hot. You're probably wondering why I gave them a pretty good score of 4 and that's because we really liked the venue/atmosphere (especially for the area) and the prices. Service also just ok. The downtown historical area is colorful, busy, vibrant...

Me and my girlfriend just love this place. Don't let the name confuse you, this is a Deli place and has nothing to do with Indian cuisine.

Salads are good, stuffed potatos are great but the sandwiches are just plain awesome. I love the one called 'Punta del Este'.

Drinks are 2x1 for most part of the evening and the Mojitos are pretty good (not too alcohol-heavy which I like)

I like better the one in Guadalara downtown, because the one in Av. Vallarta is usually pestered with unsufferable hipsters.

But the ambience is great...
