“Home of the World’s Best Chilaquiles”
La Catedral Cafe & Restaurant is more than just an award-winning, Mexican cafe serving up a Guadalajara-inspired, extensive menu. It is located in the Mexican capital of the Midwest United States, just a few blocks away from the emblematic terra cotta gateway, a Little Village landmark, the Arch. Enjoy an inciting, heavenly dining experience from the moment you enter the chalet-style building to the second you admire the ceiling and interiors, filled with Catholic-based, religious artifacts.

CHEF AMBROCIO GONZALEZ
Hailing originally from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, he embarked on his culinary journey out of necessity, as his single mother worked during the day, leaving him to cook for himself. At the tender age of 12, he forged his inaugural entrepreneurial path alongside his mother and grandmother. By 14, he found himself employed at the esteemed Cervecería Corona de Guadalajara, specifically in the Department of Market Research, a position he regarded as a cherished aspiration during his youth.
