La Chata de Guadalajara

Guadalajara


Quality comida típica (home-style food), affordable prices and ample portions mean this family diner always has a queue out front. Fortunately, hard-working staff keep the crowds moving quickly, plus you'll be happily distracted watching the energetic chefs spin tortillas as you wait in line. The specialty is the superb platillo jaliscense (fried chicken with five side dishes; M$119).

La Chata also serves a popular pozole (hominy soup; M$80).
