Café Madrid

Guadalajara


An upgraded 1950s-style cafe that is open all day, but best for a huevos rancheros breakfast (fried eggs on a corn tortilla with a tomato, chili and onion sauce served with refried beans; M$60) and chilaquiles (fried tortilla strips cooked with chili sauce; M$77).

It lacks the historical atmosphere of similar Mexican places, although the coffee, dispensed from a vintage silver espresso machine, has plenty of zest.
