beverages like jugo de lima and tequila; and even desserts like jericalla and capirotada it’s just as important to recognize Guadalajara as the modern and densely populated city it is today – one whose culinary scene has captured international attention exciting initiatives for modern Mexican cuisine began to emerge in pioneering spaces like Alcalde a specialty coffee scene started to take shape led by spots like Palreal and its Café Estelar Traditional neighborhoods like La Americana – filled with old mansions ready for restoration – took a creative turn You can find a new place or concept every time you visit the area the names of chefs like Xrysw Ruelas and Óscar Segundo from the renowned corn-based kitchen Xokol; Fabián Delgado offering modern takes on Spanish cuisine at Navaja; Freddy Monteros taking Pacific seafood to a whole new level at Erizo de Mar; and Carlos Espinoza always impressing with his take on Mexican cuisine at Tikuun and Zorra Bistró But it’s not just high-end restaurants making an impact You’ll also find vibrant culinary corridors in neighborhoods like Chapalita and concept restaurants coexist – sometimes harmoniously And that’s who we are: sometimes confusing New School – We’ve already talked about the neighborhood Las Nueve Esquinas known for being entirely dedicated to serving birria While all the restaurants there offer great takes on the dish a local favorite is actually located outside the area: Birriería El Chololo and top it off with beans to make yourself a taco with freshly made tortillas If you’re looking to explore a modern approach to Mexican cuisine in a fine dining setting where award-winning chefs take you on an unexpected journey through native maíz criollo Watering Hole – Cantinas are always a solid choice be sure to try the famous “yerbabuena” – a mix of vodka If you’re after something more modern a great two-in-one experience is El Habanero Negro where you’ll find delicious food and a unique drink called “chejuino” – a blend of beer and the local fermented corn beverage known as tejuino Gallo Altanero offers a unique selection of drinks created with agave spirits To Market – When it comes to eating at markets Mercado Libertad and Santa Tere probably come to mind first Mercado Libertad is the largest indoor market in Latin America and has an entire floor dedicated to food – everything from birria and tortas to ramen but don’t miss Fonda Mariquita and their amazing quesadillas fritas you can also try your luck at Mercado de Abastos Dish to Try – While trying a torta ahogada is a must you should also give an opportunity to its first cousin it is entirely different in flavor and preparation Lonches bañados use pan fleiman instead of birote salado and chipotle – typically filled with pork leg or panela – and topped with a mustard-cream mix Here’s how to experience both.From Guadalajara to Amatitán Jalisco’s tequila producers don’t just make great spirits—they preserve its rich cultural heritage Tequila is the fastest growing spirits category in the United States, and a truly artisanal agricultural spirit with a unique Mexican terroir and a culture all its own.

“The Air Machete” Machac beat David “The Wall” Goffin in the final of UTS Guadalajara The Czech capped off a brilliant UTS debut, beating Goffin for the second time in three days to maintain his undefeated record in Guadalajara “It couldn’t be better,” Machac declared after the final I managed to play my best tennis here and the final was great By winning the event, Machac becomes the first player to win a UTS tournament on debut since Jack Draper won the UTS Grand Final in 2023 He also books his own place in the 2025 UTS Grand Final Machac won his earlier meeting against Goffin on Friday 3-0 the veteran has been playing at a much higher level winning eight points in a row from 5-5 in the first quarter successfully playing his card to snap Machac’s momentum and close the gap to 13-10 but the quarter-point still came at 16-12 in Machac’s favour Goffin pulled back three of these before falling 17-15 to go down 1-0 after one quarter “It would be better maybe to take the lead earlier than to try and steal it,” the 34-year-old reflected between quarters winning a fantastic dive-roll volley on the sixth point This brilliance was a foreshadowing of what would take place later in the quarter with the 24-year-old turning the tables and stealing the second 16-14 The writing looked to be on the wall when Machac pulled ahead early in the third but Goffin showed his trademark fighting spirit to claw his way back into the quarter at 9-9 with Machac producing another magical volley on Goffin’s card before winning his own to go ahead 18-10 The Czech sealed his maiden UTS title in style Earlier in the day, Goffin beat Casper “The Ice Man” Ruud in the semi-finals of UTS Guadalajara The victory was Goffin’s second sudden death win in a row having scraped his way into the Final Four with a come-from-behind victory over Flavio Cobolli yesterday another sudden death,” Goffin said after the match otherwise he’s too good here in these conditions Good nerves that make you feel brave to go both players were full of errors to begin the match Norway’s Ruud – the most experienced UTS player at the event – was the first to rein in his game winning his 10th consecutive quarter to get on the board first I began to hit better,” Ruud explained of his strong performance in the third winning the fourth and forcing sudden death After The Ice Man won the opening point of sudden death winning two in a row to book his place in the final of UTS Guadalajara Machac booked his place in the final courtesy of a 18-13 17-9 victory over Adrian “Manna” Mannarino in the semi-finals of UTS Guadalajara on Sunday will face Belgian David Goffin in the final on Sunday afternoon and remains undefeated across the tournament much better than yesterday,” said Machac said after the match “I was a little bit more used to the service I finally felt a little bit of something on the court.” It was a tight start to the match with neither player able to build a significant lead over the opening half of the first quarter Just when Machac managed to get his nose in front Mannarino played his card to draw level again at 11-11 winning his own card and racing out to 17-12 by the time quarter point rolled around and claiming it on his second attempt “I try to always take advantage of the bonus cards because we don’t have them on the ATP Tour,” said Machac between quarters after winning his ninth card from 12 attempts The second quarter featured quite possibly the rally of the tournament with a 30-shot war unfolding on Machac’s card.  but the Czech managed to win two quick points in the aftermath forcing a deciding point to end the quarter Machac’s momentum saw him over the line once again The first two quarters clearly took their toll on the 36-year-old Frenchman with Manna falling behind 8-0 early in the third While he pegged the gap back to 16-9 by quarter point the match quickly became a formality as Machac booked his spot in the UTS Guadalajara final on

The best neighborhoods in Guadalajara for visitors are also some of the safest Colonia America has hip cafes and boutique hotels that attract many visitors While violent crime is rare in these parts especially in crowded places like markets and public transport.  and avoid fringe neighborhoods such as Colonia Jalisco and Santa Fe such as being aware of your surroundings and securing your valuables.  Guadalajara is known for its pleasant daytime temperatures, hovering in the 70s and 80s year-round bring warm clothing and a jacket for the sometimes frigid air Add an umbrella to your summer packing list when afternoon showers are a daily occurrence Sundays are for vibrant local culture in Guadalajara: plazas bustle with street vendors and performers major streets close to cars to make room for walkers and bikers (free bikes are available at Parque Revolución) and the city’s largest open-air crafts market fills the streets of Tonalá a traditional Mexican rodeo where skilled riders showcase their horsemanship through events like bull riding and roping often accompanied by lively music and a festive atmosphere don’t miss a lucha libre (wrestling) match for an unforgettable evening The cheapest ride to and from Guadalajara’s international airport is by city bus It can get crowded and makes frequent stops Look for the bus stop in front of the Hotel Casa Grande and catch either a “Ruta 176” or “Atasa” bus Both run to the center of town in about 45 minutes with frequencies every 15 minutes morning until night Be in the know and use tapatío to refer to someone or something from Guadalajara the language spoken by the region’s original inhabitants Tapatíos (and Mexicans in general) value pleasantries Before any interaction – even just entering a shop or restaurant – say “buenos días” (good morning) “buenas tardes” (good afternoon) or “buenas noches” (good evening) “gracias” (thank you) or “con permiso” (excuse me) is customary Even if that’s the extent of your Spanish conversation Despite its history and reputation as a deeply Catholic city Guadalajara is also one of the most accepting and inclusive places in Mexico for LGBTIQ+ people queer-owned businesses and cultural events wearing shorts or flip-flops will mark you as a tourist in Guadalajara adults just don’t wear such casual pieces outside their homes Stick to pants or skirts and wear leather sandals or closed-toe shoes instead Public transportation in Guadalajara, including buses and the metro system, is widely used by locals and visitors alike, making it a great option for those exploring Guadalajara on a budget crowded buses and metro cars can be hotspots for pickpocketing Use a reliable app like Moovit to navigate routes Don’t be shy: if you’re on a bus without a functioning bell pull (it happens) yell out “bajan!”(BA-hahn; it means “getting off”) This will signal the driver to stop at the nearest intersection Guadalajara’s early morning street food fave (and sworn-by hangover cure) is the torta ahogada (literally “drowned sandwich”) a baguette-like roll stuffed with slow-roasted pork and drenched in hot sauce While you’ll be tempted to eat this huge creation with a fork and knife tapatíos use their hands – so do like locals do and lean over your plate Go the extra mile and tuck a few napkins into your shirt front a creamy custard dessert native to Guadalajara You can find them at traditional markets like Mercado Libertad a refreshing fermented corn drink served with lime and salt – a local favorite or the merchant might throw in a knick-knack But before you dig in your heels over a few pesos remember they likely mean a lot more to the vendor than they do to you Antiquated plumbing in Guadalajara means that flushing toilet paper can often clog the system If you see an open wastebasket in a stall or hotel bathroom While Guadalajara’s tap water is purified at the source it can become contaminated as it travels through aging water lines So don’t drink it or even use it to brush your teeth; stick to bottled water there’s no need to worry about ice in restaurants or bars – here it’s purchased from commercial ice factories Though taxis are easy to hail in the city center refusing to use their meters and quoting inflated flat rates which provides reliable service at cheaper rates be sure you agree on the price before you get in try bargaining or just wait for another taxi pickpocketing is a risk on crowded buses and subway trains Mercado San Juan de Dios (also officially called Mercado Libertad) and the post-clubbing scene on Avenida Chapultepec are notorious for petty theft remembering that pickpockets often work in teams at home and stow your valuables in the hotel safe If you’re a victim of crime, need medical assistance or legal help, contact your consulate or embassy. Almost 50 countries, including the US and Canada, have representatives in Guadalajara who can help you navigate the system or recommend care options.

If you were to tell me that I’m going to Guadalajara right now, the first thing I’d do is go for breakfast at a taquería that I discovered when I went to shoot the photos for the book Guía Domingo It’s a street cart called Tacos al Vapor Don Fede You can tell that it has its lifelong customers – some go there for breakfast before work; there is nothing more Mexican than eating a taco while standing in the middle of the street When I visited it was springtime and there were many jacaranda trees painting the street purple The star here is the requesón taco (a fresh I would order three requesón tacos and one potato or bean taco accompanied by cabbage and carrots on the side to add some textures to the dish Don Fede himself attends you with a contagious smile on his face and is very chatty The preparation is very traditional: the tacos are made using double tortillas (so they don’t break) which are soaked in oil Fede buys the cheese in a traditional creamery and cooks it with poblano pepper strips and tomato During the short while I was at the taquería I realized that the main thing that the Tapatíos (Guadalajara locals) order is the taco de requesón that I love so much but there are other guisos (stewlike fillings for tacos) (I still have more to try.) When I first tried the requesón taco I couldn’t help but eat more than one because they are really unique; I had never tasted anything like it before Keep in mind that when I go to take photos for Guía Domingo I go to 8-10 taquerías a day and try to eat very little (one or two bites in each place) so that I can try everything but on this occasion I ate about three delicious requesón tacos there is a bakery in front of the market called Pastelería Santa Teresita where there is always a long line but it is worth it to wait and ask for cookies or pan de elote (sweet Mexican cornbread) to take away They are the perfect companions for further exploring this great city loading map - please wait...Map could not be loaded - please enable Javascript!→ more information Team China captured the first gold medal of the World Aquatics Diving World Cup 2025 in Guadalajara Olympians Chen Yiwen and Randal Willars Valdez also topped the Day 2 prelims in their respective events The first medal event of the World Aquatics Diving World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico - the Mixed Team Final — saw Team China deliver a strong and consistent performance to take gold with a score of 489.10 narrowly edging out host athletes in the final round “This event is so much fun to compete in.
