Fodor's Travel

"At high meal times, travelers will find lines of locals and tourists alike extending out the door of this traditional Mexican restaurant in El Centro. While the decor is plain, the food is the best in the city. Items worth testing include the queso fundido (cheese fondue)."

Lonely Planet

"Quality comida típica (home-style food), affordable prices and ample portions mean this family diner has an omnipresent queue. It also serves a popular pozole (hominy soup)."

Virginia Miller

"The best breakfast of my trip and a spanking clean stop for classic Mexican dishes. Watch the kitchen staff mold fresh tortillas and guacamole in the front kitchen, then order a hefty bowl of beloved soups, like regional favorite pozole."

Susan Knight York

"Pozole is a corn hominy soup made with pork or chicken and you can choose red pozole for hot and spicy or white if you prefer a milder version. The famous La Chata restaurant in downtown Guadalajara serves up an incredible bowl and proof is in their long lines out front."

Dave Miller

"I ordered the Caldo Tlalpeño, a wonderful soup mixture of chicken, vegetables and chunks of avocado and Mexican cheese. Served steaming hot in a large bowl with a basket of tostada shells, add some smoked chipotle, onions, cilantro and you’ve got a perfect lunch time meal."

A Tiny Trip

"Order the Caldo Tlalpeño (soup), or really anything! Seriously, everything is good!"

Emily Kerr-Riess

"This is one of the best places in the city for traditional Mexican dishes from all over Mexico. Enjoy pozole, a hearty chicken soup with large grains of white corn."

Jess Mason

"A quick game time decision had us stopping by at 9am for a quick bowl for breakfast before making our way out to the airport. Smartest decision I’ve ever made! I can see why there are long lines at certain times of day! 5/5 stars!"

Evie Caldwell-Horne

"My favorite place to get pozole is the very fast and busy La Chata in Guadalajara’s Centro Historico."

Don Cuevas

"All in all, they were some of the best pozoles we have had anywhere."
