food in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Guadalajara
Hi All,
I will be traveling to San Miguel, Guanajuato, Guadalajara and maybe Lake Chapala the first week in April and would like some food suggestions to try, both restaurants and markets to browse for hard to find supplies. I live in Austin, TX, so I'm looking for a break from TexMex, and the only things I would bring back are items that I can't get here. Are there any unusual kitchen gadgets that I should look for? From a.f.m-x archives, it looks like birria is the specialty of Guadalajara. I didn't find any specific foods mentioned for Guanajuato, and I would like to try something more than the candy mummies I got last time I was there. San Miguel sounds like it is bowing under the culinary pressure of the large population of USA expats, but there must be some original flavors surviving that. Thanks, Leona |

I think that you can get all the kitchen gadgets here in the US but the thing I can never find is a good tamale pan. I hope you have a great time there and enjoy yourself!! Reina |

If the restaurant Si Como No is still open, it was very good (although not an ahogada place). The glorietta in/on Chapalita has several really nice small places. In the Tlaquepaque area of Guadalajara, there is a very famous restaurant - Restaurant Sin Nombre. The Chilis en Nogada were excellent. You'll also appreciate the open courtyard dining and their bug control (peacocks). Lake Chapala has a lot of expat US and Canadian citizens and there are several good places. I cannot remember their names as I found them by sight. You might want to visit this site for further information: http://www.guadalajarareporter.com/ jim |

You're going to really enjoy eating in Guanajuato. It is still a college town
and lunch is the comida corrida aimed at student budgets. We were there last fall and the typical comida corrida was 25 pesos ($2.50) and that got you bread, soup, entree, pasta, and dessert. Don't miss the church, La Valenciana. If you pass through Santa Rosa en route to Dolores Hidalgo, be sure to pick up a bottle of the local membrillo liqueur. As you can tell, I prefer Guanajuato to San Miguel San Miguel leaves me cold but Guanjuato has so much charm. Just hanging out at La Union plaza makes my evening. |

Also, check out the local tortillas enchiladas, that will be topped with
carrots and potatoes. And in the main market, you'll find a corner where they sell pork roast sandwiches. Delicious. |

"Jim Lane" > wrote in message ... > In Guadalajara you can try ahogadas (a true submarine sandwich). If the I can't help but notice that "ahogadas" seems like it might share a common linguistic root with "hoagie". Can anyone tell me if the two words are somehow related? Bob Dietz |
