Casa Bariachi

Guadalajara


This bright barnlike restaurant-bar has romantic lighting and leather chairs, along with piñatas and colorful papel picado (cut-out paper) hanging from the ceiling. Do not come here for the overpriced and lacklustre food, though; the margaritas are as big as bathtubs and go down well when mariachis perform in the afternoon from about 3:30pm and again from 9:30pm.
