Ventresca - Guadalajara

If your are looking to have Spanish food in Guadalajara, this is a good fallback choice after running out of options. I would not replace other great places with Ventresca. This is not the kind of place that would be at the top of my list. Not even in my top 25 for Guadalajara. If I am in the mood for something different, then I would probably consider it again. It wouldn't however be the first place that pops up as an option. Not even as a fallback option.The food was good, but that's it. I was not overly impressed. We had fish, pork, tuna. Shared a variety of appetizers. They were all average. Not something that I would suddenly start messaging my friends or family about.The food was tasty, but not impressive. It could be better.Your palate can be satisfied at other places in a more impressive and pleasant way. From the looks they were good, but when trying them they honestly did not meet the bar.The service was good. Average. The waiters were polite in general. The one thing that I did not like is that they had a type of fish (totoaba) on the menu which I had never tried or heard about before. They had the kind of attitude of trying to make you feel a little uneducated for not knowing about it. They constantly referred to it, feeling over inflated about it being on the menu. Never explaining what it actually was.As far as I knew, it could have been a type of rabbit. I later found out that it is a kind of unique fish. Even illegal to catch in some places. Not the kind that you should shove on the client's face with pride. More so if you just learned about it yourself when it was brought in that morning. A Chilean sea bass is far better, just saying.This is a good place to try if you want to change it up a little bit after not having more options. I would probably not visit again though.

En la mejor zona de Providencia nos encontramos con esta agradable sorpresa. El dueño y chef de Santander. Una mezcla de cocina tradicional española con un toque latino. Sencillamente tropicalizado!Iniciamos con un ceviche de robalo con hojas de amaranto y nieve de aceite de Oliva acompañado de cervezas muy Frías en un gran tarro muy helado!Pasamos a los platos fuertes. Probe todos por su además de sabor presentación sin igual. Caldoso de langosta para mi, mi amiga unos filetes de ribeye angus al punto. Y los 2 caballeros que nos acompañaban lechoncito segoviano y Arroz son hongos y camarones. El vino valenciano tempranillo LA MALA VIDA perfecto para maridar. El servicio inmejorable tanto de meseros como capitán y el mismísimo dueño. Precio calidad servicio excelente. Consejo pedir menos para probar postresRecomendable lugar!!!!!

Soy fan de la gastronomía Española teniendo un familiar viviendo en Madrid tengo la excusa y la ventaja para ir con frecuencia y al cabo de los años he tenido la oportunidad de probarla Les puedo asegurar que tendrán la sensación de estar comiendo en en algún restaurante de Madrid el chef (español) tiene una verdadera maestría para cocinar el pescado robalo,totoaba,huachinango etcEl Lechon lo cocina imponente pareciera estar en Segovia hay pinchos y tapas..,y mucho más tiene una selección de vinos muy interesante con un buen servicio y precios razonables
