Guadalajara Dining Guide: La Gorda

La Gorda

Dining - Local & Regional
At the corner of avenidas Juan Alvarez and General Coronado, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico
Phone: 33-3825-2239

There's nothing fancy about this immaculate eatery, but the pictures on the walls show its owner Josefina Garcia de Rodriguez with important Mexican public figures—a testament to the excellent traditional Mexican food served there. The specialty of the house is posole, a pork soup made with chili and hominy, served with radish, lime juice, diced onion and plain tostadas. The tostadas on their own are excellent, as is the flauta—a long fried taco filled with chicken, beans, beef or potato garnished with sliced lettuce, green or red sauce, sour cream and fresh cheese. In addition to the main restaurant, there are three others at Ave. Ninos Heroes 2810, Pedro Simon Laplace 5645 and Ave. Guadalupe 1569. Daily for lunch and dinner. $$. Accepts Visa and MasterCard. At the corner of avenidas Juan Alvarez and General Coronado, Guadalajara. Phone 33-3825-2239.
