Be weary of the fresh coconuts and street food since hygiene of the workers preparing your snacks may be questionable since no real hand washing stations are very easily accessible. Your best bet is to step inside to one of the many restaurants that are located off the main streets and there you can enjoy the included restrooms for their patrons. Else wise, you may find yourself paying anywhere around $5 pesos to use a public bathroom. Be sure to buy plenty of leather wallets, keychains and leather sandals since here in Tonala you'll get a better deal than you will in Guadalajara and definitely cheaper than at the airport.
