This legendary Guadalajara institution serves some of the best chilaquiles in western Mexico. But the café’s true specialty is lonche de pancita, a pork belly torta that has inspired countless admiring articles, in both Spanish and English. Café P’al Real also serves top-quality espressos and long blacks.

The waits at Lafayette hotspot Café Palreal can be a drag if you're itching for the first meal of the day and, most importantly, coffee. This obstacle doesn't seem to deter many from eating what I was told is Guadalajara's best breakfast surrounded by hip cement tile work and lush greenery. We spent a morning at the cozy coffee bar area that contains all of three bar stools, spreading sweet farm cheese on biscuits, slurping down perfect cappuccinos and chatting with the gregarious baristas.

On Searching for Mexico, Longoria visited several eateries in Guadalajara, referencing the city’s “new generation of food pioneers.” Among them, chef Fabian Delgado Padilla’s outposts Café palReal (C. Lope de Vega 113, in the trendy Colonia Americana neighborhood) and Yunaites, a stall with more affordable fare in the Mercado IV Centenario market (Calle Garibaldi 824). At both places, Longoria indulged in variations of pork belly with mole dulce sauce.

For those on a budget who cannot afford to dine out at the top fine dining establishments but who still appreciate high-quality food, Café P’al Real is one of the city’s best options. It is known for serving a menu of delicious yet inexpensive food. The specialty at this casual eatery is lonche de pancita, which is a sourdough roll filled with pork belly and garnishes with avocado, onion, coriander, and salsa.

With its minimalist decor, multitudes of plants, and lovely ceramics, this place strikes a perfect balance between cozy and fashionable. It gets super busy on weekends, so I prefer visiting early on weekdays. The cuisine, crafted from fresh products sourced from the Mercado, features the famous ‘lonche de panza’ (a pork belly sandwich) as the house specialty.

Chef Fabian Delgado has grown up to be one of the best chefs in Guadalajara. He loves Mexico, knows Jalisco very well, but has also traveled extensively which has inspired his menus. After a recent trip to Oaxaca, he brought back two big suitcases filled with exotic chiles, cacao beans, and other spices that were featured on the menu for months.

If you are one of those people who always remain excited to try out new recipes and cuisines, then the cafe Pal Real is the one for you. Forget about getting bored with those sampled cuisines and step into the real cafe pal real. At this Guadalajara restaurant, you will get everything that you look for in a restaurant.

Café palReal is a very popular brunch spot with a great and cozy atmosphere. Their breakfast selection includes some of the best Mexican dishes and the coffee is one of the best I have ever tasted. Since it’s very popular among locals and tourists alike, the place can get quite busy, especially during weekends.

Located just a few blocks away from Casa Habita, Café palReal is a laid-back restaurant with beautiful outdoor seating. It serves a variety of classic daytime and breakfast dishes, including delicious cocktails. We loved the chilaquiles and affogato for breakfast.

PalReal is loved by many local foodies, bloggers, and coffee lovers. The team of chef Fabian Delgado, barista Fabrizio Sención, and roaster Jorge Sotomayor produce excellent food and drinks. Try a pork belly sandwich, roast beef biscuit, or tuna with guacamole.
