This is one of the top two birria spots in Guadalajara. Just don't tell anyone because it is…read morealready super packed everyday of the week. They way it works is they make a huge pot of soup and serve it until they run out. I went today, and they were done by 1pm. I have snuck in later before, but this place has been really busy lately. These guys have been make birria for generations. I think one of the reasons that they have such great birria is the 'tatemado' oven. They give the meat a little searing on the burner before it goes into the broth. There are a lot of fatty cuts and the searing really brings out the flavor in the fat. It is really affordable, but not cheap. Birria shouldn't be cheap because it is primarily meat and you want good meat. I am pretty sure this is a goat only birria place which means that I don't think that they have birria de res. There is a bomb juice place right across the aisle so get a pineapple/orange mix and get your birria on.

We had cafe de olla and some dishes that made for an amazing brunch. We ordered a plate of Arrachera with tortillas and Bistec Encebollado (steak with onions) with beans. On the same plate we had chicharrones en salsa, a breakfast staple in this city. To balance the heavier dishes we had a Jugo Verde drink made from fresh pineapple and parsley. The staff were so friendly, we felt at home with the kind approach and nice ambiance. The decor is traditional and tasteful, we had such a fun experience. We dream of this breakfast and want to return with our sons soon. Try some amazing food here next time you're in Guadalajara, Jalisico Mexico!

It's like a hearty soup. Of course, it is served with fresh, hot tortillas, and you can order your choice of several sides, such as guacamole and chips, grilled green onions, quesadillas, queso fundido (with or without chorizo), etc. They are in the Guinness Book of World Records for the fastest service. ...and I believe it! They offer a variety of drinks from sodas, aguas frescas and beer. I got my usual limonada in agua mineral. Everything was delicious and the service was exceptional.

You have to walk up at least four different sets of stairs, so this is certainly not for the handicapped! The rooftop terrace for a restaurant was quite beautiful. Its got a touch of foliage and great interior design to keep me looking around. Our waitress was kind, decent with english, and prompt to our needs. We got there 40 minutes before the mariachi band was about to play. I hate live music when eating, especially when it involves screeching trumpets. Maybe this is a plus for you, but not for me. The Pina colada mocktail was delicious here! Like coconut ice cream, with a decent amount of cherry flavor in the mix. I like the cherry on top for garnish and dynamic. I imagine with alcohol it's just as good. Their queso fundido is quite satisfying. Big gooey globs of stringy salty cheese drive right. Get the chorizo and mushrooms with it, because it makes it 5 times better. They dont cut either item into smaller chunks, but it's still quite satisfying to get everything on one chip. I ordered the sugar cane taco, but ended up with the skirt steak one. It was super basic, with no seasoning, felt like a burger with the lettuce and tomatoes, and the meat was cut in a way where the meat was quite dry and stringy. Avoid this particular taco. The hibiscus taco will not be for everyone, but it was a fantastic foray into sweet and savory. It's like a condensed Jamaica drink but with all the other usual savory components of a taco. The pulpo here is pretty decent. They don't over season and the texture is fairly soft (although there's not much spring). They pile on the avocado on this one! The beef flauntas are quite satisfying. Crunchy outside, bursting with corn oil, and with a decent amount of veggies and crema on the outside. The plantains flameado is quite simple, but if you like brandy and soft, sweet plantains, then you will enjoy this. They don't give you much else other than a creamy sauce to dip the plantain.

The aguas frescas are okay, not made from scratch. We ordered the orden de birria to share. It's about right for two people, but if you like more meat, it might not be enough. To make it work for us, we ordered two quesadillas and a consome (birria soup). Note that the order does come with freshly made tortillas.

La birria llegó hirviendo, burbujeando como si me estuviera coqueteando. El olor... santo Dios. Ese aroma me abrazó tan rico que casi me hace cerrar los ojos en plena mesa. Cuando metí la tortilla en el consomé, la cosa se puso peligrosa. Esa mezcla espesita, caliente, resbalando... mejor ni digo lo que pensé, porque no es apto para horario familiar. La carne, suave al grado de que se deshacía con solo mirarla. Yo también me estaba deshaciendo, pero por otras razones. Cada mordida me hacía sentir como si alguien me estuviera diciendo al oído "ándale, uno más". Y yo obedecía sin poner resistencia. El consomé... uff. Esa cosa estaba tan profunda y tan sabrosa que sentí que estaba metiéndome en problemas. Y lo peor es que me encantó. El personal muy atento, preguntándome si quería más, y yo tratando de no contestar "sí, pero de todo". Uno tiene que mantener la compostura... aunque sea poquito. Salí de ahí lleno, sudadito y con la conciencia dudosa. Conclusión: No sé qué brujería hacen en este lugar, pero esa birria despierta cosas. Y todas buenas.

Late night dinner? La Gorda is your gal!…read more This open air restaurant is a mix of local favorites and at a fast food style pace. The prices are fair, however you are near to the American Zone so you'll find higher than average (compared to the rest of the city) prices. Of course, you should definitely order the torta ahogada. It's a Guadalajaran classic that is as messy as it sounds. Literally translating into "drowned torta" you'll likely need a fork and knife to attack this yummy monster. The spicy sauce adds a nice kick and keeps everything moist and delicious. Once you're done, opt for the classic Guadalarajan style flan/creme brulee called Jericalla. It's a little different than your traditional flan in that it has a burnt top similar to creme brulee. The flavor and texture is quite nice! Definitely make La Gorda your first stop if you intend to bar hop in the area. You won't be sorry!
