3 Best Restaurants in Zona Minerva, Guadalajara

Twentysomething Tapatíos flock to this modern Italian restaurant for delicious pasta and pizza dinners and stick around for the hip martini bar scene that follows. This is Guadalajara at its trendiest.

If you're into trying local favorites, this is the place to order lengua—beef tongue—or chicken mole, which has a sweet twist. The pork loin and barbecue ribs are also worth a taste. For dessert, order the flan with cajeta (a local soft caramel sauce); it's homemade—literally made in someone's house and delivered nightly to the restaurant.

A true Tapatío (Guadalajara native) will tell you that these are the best tacos in town. Don’t expect anything fancy; it’s just a clean and functional taqueria where everything is about those exquisite tacos.
