Los Girasoles

Top choice in Guadalajara Region


Tapalpa's classiest restaurant is just off the main plaza and offers quality dishes such as cheese- and plantain-stuffed chilies in a cilantro sauce, tamales de acelga (chard-filled tamales) and a spicy chicken dish called cochala de polio. There's a star-lit outdoor patio for rare warm nights or you can snuggle in front of the open log fire in the dining room.

It is also home to a chichi boutique selling well-curated folk art, home goods and accessories.
