Francisco Ruano, originally from the city of Guadalajara, declares himself to be "a permanent nonconformist." He is in charge of the Alcalde restaurant, considered one of the best restaurants in the state of Jalisco and throughout Mexico.

So much so, that it was recently named as the restaurant to follow on the list of The Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants by S. Pellegrino®. In love with the flavors he learned from the traditional cuisine of his state, he studied in his hometown.
