Located a few steps from Juarez Park, Café Aldama 57 offers a tasty and unexpected dining choice, perfect for a peaceful coffee break after a stroll in the park. It's also an ideal spot to take your laptop and catch up on emails while you sip a hearty Moka that perfectly complements their Mexican roast with the chocolate sweetness.

Leading the Kitchen is Juan Carlos, a young and talented Guadalajara native, who lovingly crafts Café Aldama 57's comforting menu, you can say it is an all-day breakfast concept. The café introduces special dishes each month keeping the menu exciting. October's offerings include Apple Compota Pudding which appeared to be more like a delicious pie, Turkish Eggs, an Egg and Bacon Muffin Sandwich, plus the ever-popular English Breakfast, a generously served plate that they're considering adding to the permanent menu.
David, the friendly waiter that you will meet there, highlighted the café's most beloved dishes like the divine Chicken Sandwich, a crispy delight with melted cheese, jalapeño dressing, and the café's signature roasted tomato cream, just the tomato cream will make you want to return.
If you want to spice things up, try the Quesabirrias, Tapatio chef Juan Carlos' specialty filled with Oaxacan cheese, birria-style beef, served with onion, coriander, salsa and birria broth on the side, mix the quesadilla with the broth, you can thank me later! If you had a few too many cocktails the night before, the Torta Ahogada, a hearty hangover cure is the way to go, made with homemade pork carnitas, light tomato sauce, salted bolillo, and pickled onions, it will be the perfect remedy.
