A traditional purveyor of birria de chivo (goat stew), Las 9 Esquinas stands out for its superior local fare. The restaurant opens onto one of the small colonial plazas in the very European-looking neighborhood for which the restaurant is named. Also try the lamb barbecue and chicken with mole, which is one of the best in town: not too sweet, not too salty. Daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you're going on a Sunday afternoon you might have to wait. Reservations not accepted. $-$$. No credit cards. Colon 384, Nueve Esquinas, Guadalajara. Phone 33-3613-6260.
