No but it was once considered by Guadalajara foodies as gourmet sushi.

Well I call it desert sushi and it is pretty damn good.....jaja!!!!

So very not nice. Moshi moshi is how a Japanese answers the telephone. Nothing to do with food. Sheesh.

Sheesh yourself....I know what moshi moshi means, but you obviously don't know that Moshi Moshi is the most popular sushi establishment in Guadalajara.
That's what it has to do with food in the context of this thread.
....in fact....Double Sheesh

Never said I did, but I certainly know that Moshi Moshi is a popular sushi restaurant in Guadalajara, which makes it have something to do with food, which you didn't seem to know.
No argument about the quality of food at Suehiro....been eating there for over 30 years.  In fact my daughter's last birthday family dinner was at Suehiro.
I'll leave it up to you to fill us in on Japan and the Japanese, as I think you are chomping at the bit.

Suehiro has been going downhill for years. The fare at Tinto y Blanco is a far cry from excellent and certainly not gourmet by any standard. We went twice and both times and to be nice, it was nondescript.

I would recommend Corazon de Alcachofa over any of the restaurants listed by David. The most memorable meal there was pan fried fresh trout with a pine nut crust and served with a drizzzle of bitter orange/achiote reduction that reminded me of cochinita pibil but sweeter.

Forget about Suehiro's as a sit down table kind of place. Just sit at the sushi bar and go nuts. Awesome, and they cut huge.

I'm a steak, potatoes, and salad kind of person, so I would rate La Vaca Argentina, La Matera, El Fogon del Pibe, Almecen del Bife, and a few other similar type restaurants ahead of Lula, but that's just a personal preference of the type of food I like.
Lula is great for an unique experience but not a regular go to place for me. He has named it "bistro", which usually indicates "modest" food and prices, which it has neither.  The only thing "bistro", is the location, in an old warehouse that has been optimized to the max (for a warehouse).
My favorite "food" there are the pints of Guinness, which taste better than the ones I buy at Paz Licoreria.
Maybe it's the Irish touch that makes that happen.
80% of what I eat there, I don't know what it is, and don't want to know Very Happy .  And as far as feeling full, I always liken it to the Pemex pump, where I watch the liters and the total pesos, and wonder which one I'll squirm on  first.


Is he bringing in his Guinness from Ireland?   It does taste different than the Carib Guinness in my experience.  I get the warehouse thang. Its about the color, design, taste, and layers of the food not the building.  Will check out the resturants you mentioned thanks that's what I was looking for.  More choices laugh out loud.

Z

Zed, there isn't any Guinness brewed in  Mexico, so it would have to be imported from Ireland or Nigeria.  Glad someone else thinks it tastes different and it's just not me. It almost tastes like draught, which I know it isn't.

..


According to Guinness they have 50 breweries including the US and the Carib.  I find Irish Guinness to taste different especially over Carib Guinness.
Actually prefer Minerva Imperial Stout which is more like a porter in my opinion and locally fresh and available.  I know this is a terrible thing to say but I will say it I actually prefer Murphys over Guinness. It is sweeter to my taste buds but I know I am the minority opinion on the irish stout issue.....  Bought a Minerva pale ale with the lula meal not noticing the Guinness available.  Probably should have done Guinness as the chef is Irish.  The Pale ale went very well with the six course.

itsme wrote:"Same meal in Napa, SF, Portland, Seattle would be twice as much."

Just curious as to how much it would cost in Spain, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Australia, etc.? Actually, as I am here in Mexico, what difference does it make how much as I am paying here. I live here and spend my money here, so why are you comparing prices to somewhere else? Unless it is some other restaurant in the area I cannot see what bearing it has. Beer


The relevancy is it is inexpensive compared to US.   I don't understand why you care about what we care about.  Others agree with my opinion.  I can afford the good food here monthly.  In US a good meal like Lula is a once a quarter thing.  That's relevant to me laugh out loud.

Yep, it's just one of the many Diageo enterprises.
Don't apologize for your tastes as everyone is an individual.  Why, I even have cousins and friends in Ireland that prefer Budweiser over Guinness..... lulabistro in Guad   (A world class resturant in my opinion) - Page 2 374777
Down in County Cork, Murphy's outsells Guinness, as it is the local brew, and you see Corona everywhere in Ireland, as well as Heineken, which is very popular.

Zed, it sounds like you might like a milk stout. Milk stout contains some lactose (milk sugar) which is not fermented by the yeast. There aren't many milk stouts around but every once in awhile Widmers will put one out as a seasonal brew. If you ever find yourself in your old neighborhood in the middle of Winter you might look for one, or two, ... Beer

I just had my 1st cerveza "Bohemia" today poured into a chilled glass. I liked it. It had some tasty character. I think I'll repeat the experience. "Modello". WTF is that shit. I guess it gets drunk 'cause there's some alcohol in it and you can't trust the local water. But hey, buy the stock, zilch in - gazzilions out.

Back to the sushi part of the thread ... 1.5 years away from Seattle, and I am missing sushi something terrible. I know that El Barco advertises sushi but frankly, I am afraid to try it. o.O

Can someone give me an idea of the prices at Suehiro?

Suehiro is affordable. Let's take the beer and sushi conversation to new threads. They have nothing to do with Lula Bistro. C'mon mods!

We spent our New years eve 2013/14 at Suehiro. We were staying at Hotel Morales for 2 nights - awesome - stay there. SO , says us, with zilch planning, it's New Years, let's party, this'll be easy. NOT. We got into Suehiro's on the premiss - in @ 1800, out @  2000. You'll be at the bar, our intended destination. Great. So, great seafood, cut large - that's the sashimi side. Sushi - OK. Our cutters were 2 Mexicans and a Turk. Nice guys, cut huge. The sushi  rice, barely OK - they just don't get it. SUSHI - IT'S ALL ABOUT THE RICE. The sushi rice apprenticeship takes 8 - 10 yrs. in Japan. In Vancouver, B.C. - "TOJO'S".
  Anyway, properly lubricated (+ 1 bottle of good sake), great seafood cuts and some sides, US$ 130.00 with a 15% tip. Tripy place. Go

Bohemia Clara is the best in my opinion Clara in Mexico. I agree it has character which the normal Modelo/Tecate Clara stuff lacks. Bohemia Clara is a very nice hot weather beer when my Normal Minerva Stout is just too much. In the obscura I think I like Negra Modelo better than Bohemia Obscura but I know many folks would disagree with me.
