Miercoles, 7 Marzo, We left Zacatecas at the 8000 foot elevation and headed southwest to Guadalajara. The drive was pleasant, with the elevation going down then up again reaching nearly 7000 feet then down to comfortable 5000 feet or so. Both Ray and I had picked up a bug so the variations in elevation were hard on our ears. The roads were good and the terrain ranged from high desert with only cac... Read Full Entry

This place has been cooking Mexican favorites since 1942

This is Let’s Go’s favorite Guadalajaran restaurant and it ranked high with AAA as well. The restaurant was mostly filled with local families.

Ray had mole chicken enchiladas.

Instead of shredding the chicken and filling the enchiladas with other stuff. His enchiladas were filled with hunks of white chicken breasts, wrapped with corn tortillas and served with his choice of mole sauce.

My chiles rellenos were out of this world.

As a fat lady, I know that chiles rellenos are just about the most fattening thing on a Mexican menu. I do consider myself a connoisseur.

In Mexico, barbacoa only means roasted meat – and is nothing like what BBQ means to us. It was lean and very good.

My dish was served in broth.

I think it was tastier than Ray’s but there was so much fat. Being as fat adverse as I am, I could not eat more than a few bites of meat but I really did enjoy the broth

Their tiled cocina (kitchen) and chefs could not be prettier.
