Guadalajara:
Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico and one of the most interesting to visit for its architecture that combines tradition and technological
progress.
What to eat:
From Guadalajara we recommend two typical dishes to taste. First the classic birria
(We also prepare a delicious birria, check out our menus)
And tortas ahogadas (Drowned cakes is a literal translation, they are more like sandwishes soaked in salsa)
Be careful! They can be very spicy. Taste the salsa first and add according to your tolerance
Ciudad de México (Mexico city) :
The largest city in Mexico and Latin America, you’ll go crazy with everything you can do here. From traveling by metro, going to concerts and cultural events in Bellas Artes and the infinite amount of museums and restaurants, we are sure you will not get bored.
What to eat:
Being the capital of the country, in Mexico City you can find a great variety of dishes but we want to recommend you tacos al pastor, known in the north as adobada beef tacos. Delicious! Try them in different spots until you find your favorites
