If you're looking for a taste of authentic Guadalajara, you can't do better than Kamilos 333. This isn't just a restaurant; it's an institution, and the reason it has been a local favorite since 1975 is simple: the food is phenomenal. The undisputed star of the show is the "Carne en su Jugo," or "meat in its juice." While you might find this dish elsewhere, at Kamilos 333, it's a culinary masterpiece. The thin slices of beef, cooked in their own flavorful broth, are tender and succulent. The broth itself is a revelation—a complex blend of tomatillo, spices, and a hint of tartness that is perfectly balanced. It's served over a bed of whole beans and topped with crispy bacon, fresh cilantro, and onions. A squeeze of lime brings all the flavors together, creating a bowl of pure comfort and satisfaction. It's a dish that truly "tastes like Guadalajara." But don't stop at the main event. Kamilos 333's menu is a celebration of classic Mexican antojitos. The "Kamililla," an open-faced quesadilla with beans, meat, and salsa, is a delicious and hearty option. The arrachera, or skirt steak, is perfectly grilled and full of rich flavor. Even the simple sides, like their house-made frijoles refritos and creamy guacamole, are a testament to the kitchen's dedication to quality. To wash it all down, be sure to try one of their refreshing house-made beverages like horchata or jamaica. Every dish at Kamilos 333 is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can taste the care and tradition in every bite. It’s a place where the food tells a story of Jalisco, and it’s a story you’ll want to savor...
Read moreI absolutely loveeeee this restaurant. It's the first carne en su juego restaurant I went to in GDL. But our server, Karely, spilled scalding hot caldo on one person in our group. She then did not apologize, did not offer him help, and did not get him anything for the burns on his back. She also acted curt and extremely rude to us all night, including saying "it's okay, I burnt myself too." When she brought us the check, it was full price. When we talked to another waiter, Alfredo, the managers clearly did not even know she burned a customer. So really, this review is only for Karely who was extremely rude and injured a customer. If I can convince my family to come back, I will make sure Karely is no where...
Read moreThis is THE spot for carne en su jugo! Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere. As soon as you sit down, you're brought a delicious cup of bean soup with bacon, chips, guacamole and salsa. The small size of carne en su jugo is anything but small, and it pairs so well with the roasted spring onions and salsa. Grab a hot and fresh tortilla and add the ingredients you want and enjoy! On our visit, there was a family celebrating their mom's birthday, and the staff brought out a big fake cake with sparklers--such a fun vibe. It was raining hard when we were there and the lights went out at one point, and the whole restaurant erupted with laughter. Great experience from...
