Jalisco is one of the Mexican states that has contributed most to the national cuisine. The regions geographical and climatic conditions are well suited to agriculture and livestock production. Consequently, there has always been a large variety of products to use in the creation of delicious recipes. The typical Jalisco diet goes back to the Colonial era, when there was a fusion of pre-Hispanic of European cuisines.

In Guadalajara, this fusion of flavors is reflected in a remarkably large choice of restaurants. Among them are first-class restaurants with specialists in Jalisco cuisine who prepare traditional dishes like manchamanteles, tongue in pipian sauce, adobado style loin, and traditional mutton birria. Dining in a picturesque fonda will give you the chance to try tapatia-style red pozole (a corn-based soup). In any corner of the city, you can find meat-filled rolls called tortas ahogadas drowning in a spicy sauce. Guadalajara restaurants are delightful and they all have a great ambience.

For people who like sweets, there are arrayan candies, milk or quince ate, and jericallas. The most traditional beverages are the fruit-based escamochas, tepache made from fermented pine husks, and the ever-popular tequila.
