Food/beer in Guadalajara
I should have posted an update ages ago. I did find microbrews at Café André Breton at Juan Manuel 175 - I took a shot of the menu to show the selection: http://flic.kr/p/91pQca
We ate tortas ahogadas at Mercado Libertad: http://flic.kr/p/9fUkKa
We had birria at La Birriería Las 9 Esquinas. Really great, although I have nothing to compare it to aside from the fantastic birria tacos La Taqueria in Vancouver.

Karne Garibaldi looks delicious, although I am always suspicious of too-fast service. Thanks for the photos, I get hungry just looking at them. La Chata is definitely on my list although I am not sure my 5-yr old will appreciate the long queue. I will be in GDL in 9 days. When I return I'll be sure to post an edible trip report. ¡Gracias por todo!

cristina, I've actually subscribed to the rss feed of your blog since I planned my trip the DF in January of this year. Very informative and mouth watering!

¡Gracias! I'll definitely check out some of your recommendations. I've only ever had Mexican big brewery beers, so I'm quite excited at the possibility of trying something new and unfamiliar.

Gracias, deeb. I've been trying to locate the Sears in the Centro on a map to no avail. I'll keep looking and of course I'll ask when I'm there - but do you have a more specific address or cross street? I did hear about Minerva beer and I think it's brewed in Jalisco, so hopefully I'll get a taste. I'll definitely have a look at Rincon del Alfil - the website makes it look very appealing. Thanks everyone, I'm very excited about the trip!

Hi all, we are heading to GDL for a week in November and I’m already starting to salivate. We are looking forward to tortas ahogadas and churros and of course all the lovely Mexican beers not imported to Canada.
I’ve read that many craft beers are brewed in Jalisco, does anyone know of a beer store or restaurant where we can sample some of them? Keep in mind we’ll be traveling with a 5 year old – so a raucous bar won’t do.
Part two of my post is around street stalls in GDL. I found it quite easy to research and find recommended street stalls in DF, but I can’t seem to find anything in GDL. Street stalls aren’t likely to have much of a web presence! Does anyone have any recommendations for street food in GDL? A good place to grab some tortas ahogadas? Or another food items that might be unique to the region?
¡Gracias!

Gracias, gomexico. Great trip report. That photo of pozole rojo from Casa de Toño is making me hungry. I'm excited at all the culinary offerings in the DF! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your thorough and thoughtful response! I looked at the menu Contramar has on their website and it looks outstanding - Thanks for the tip. I figure mom and pop style fish is going to be rare so far from the coast, a total shot in the dark.
There is no coincidence that the locations I've chosen will include wonderful food. Tacos al pastor. moles, tlayudas! I hope we can be Cuetzalan for a Sunday market, the timing will be challenging as we only have a short 2 weeks.
I'll report on any gems I find along the way.
Thank you for sharing.
Inland fish taco recommendations
I love fish tacos, some of the best I've had have been from small family run spots in coastal Mexican towns. I am planning a trip to Mexico in the new year that does not include a single coastal stop. I'll be in DF, Puebla, Cuernavaca, Oaxaca, Cuetzalan and possibly a few more spots in the region. Does anyone have any recommendations in any of those cites mentioned or somewhere nearby if you think it's worth a pilgrimage. Thanks!
