I think the most significant note of Guadalajara is that the food is fantastic. Street vendor to street vendor, the fresh tacos are plentiful and delicious. Our hosts here Leslie and Jeff, love Guadalajara’s signature dish…tortas ahoradas. Basically a pork sub sandwich soaked in flavorful chili sauces and if you want a hot sauce you’ll definitely have your sinus’s cleared…good for clearing up that cold! Apparently we will not see this food in any other city in Mexico. They have made this a daily food requirement.

Of particular note are the tacos on the corner next to their house. They make a special kind of taco originating in Mexico City that must have some magical pixie fairies dust that makes you want more and more and more. They make a couple types of tacos: bistec, chorizo, and cow tongue. The taco itself is simple; however they have delicious toppings and sauces that make it an awesome treat. One of the aspects of Mexico that we notice is that a large majority of people own their own little restaurants or taco stands and there is an abundance of food ready to be sold. Seems like these taco stands/restaurants account for half of the employment in Guadalajara, so as long as people keep eating at them, and I see no reason to stop, they will never go unemployed!
