Really nice place to have lunch in Guadalajara central area. Food I have tried was a delicious soup and enchilada. Soup was delicious as well as enchiladas (but if you are not lover of spice food, be prepared that it will be very spicy). Great place from my opinion, worth to give a try.

7 PM on a Friday and this was the perfect spot to enjoy the evening. The tacos gobernador were satisfying and the Colombo porter was good.
