El Nogalito — Restaurant in Jalisco

Tourist Trap! Total scam. Stay away from this place. If you have a tour booked, the guide will take you there as he already has an agreement with this place. Demand the guide to take you to another place. Do not get out of your vehicle. Just leave. The guide brings in clients in exchange for a plate of food. There is no menu, so that is a huge red flag. They have three trays to pick from which start at $60 USD. The food is poor quality. Some chicken, steak, and shrimp with frozen vegetables. Since when broccoli, carrot, peas are part of the the Mexican authentic cuisine? They will tell you that the corn tortillas are made there, but if you look to the kitchen through the window from the street, you will see tons of tortilla packs. Is all COSTCO food. They will also force you to buy at least two trays (which will be a minimum of @120USD. That is outrageous. If you add the drinks, your bill can be approximately $150 USD. With that money you can go to a 5-star restaurant by the beach. The bathrooms are the nastiest I have seen in my life. DO NOT USE THE BATHROOMS! I was there on March 11, 2025. It was a horrible...

If you are reading this, it's most likely because you didn't want lunch but a tour guide stopped and said you are going inside for lunch. That's strike one. If I wanted to actually eat maybe I'd want to go here.

The food is decent, but it's expensive, when compared to other local eateries. The pricing really makes you think that the drivers are getting a kickback by bringing you here.

The service was really good. Everyone was friendly and fast.

The location is the best thing about this place. It's right on a river. The river is crystal clear and you can see lot of fish swimming it in. The water is warm but it's cool enough to generate a little bit of a breeze.

If you didn't feel like you were being held hostage until you bought something and the pricing was better, this would be a pretty...

Fun! The whole tour and experience takes approximately 3 hours which includes 11 ziplines, a tequila tasting and some down time in which you are encouraged to rest in their hammocks. There is also a bar and restaurant and a dining area that is outdoors and quite lovely.

The guides really make the tour enjoyable. They are all very friendly, humorous and professional. They will have you smiling and laughing from beginning to end. There is a photographer that joins every group to take some photos and you have the option of purchasing the photos at the end of your tour.

Altogether, this is a very good way to spend 3 hours if you're on vacation or if you just enjoy a thrill! Many resorts and tour companies offer shuttle transportation so you don't even have to worry about how you will...
