Best Late Night in Guadalajara

Find the best late night restaurants in Guadalajara, JAL. Scored on what actually matters.

By DineSpin Team·Updated February 2026·10 spots

Guadalajara's late-night food scene is built on taco stands and street vendors who've perfected one thing over decades and refuse to change it. You'll find excellent consistency—the same hand-cut meat, the same salsas, the same owners working the griddle at midnight—but also the trade-offs that come with it: waits, minimal seating, no reservations. The best of these places are genuinely outstanding. The rest are worth knowing about only if you understand what you're walking into.
