Eat at Street Stalls
Some of the best and most authentic tacos (especially seafood ones) are found at street stalls. Look for ones that have a lot of local people.
Try the Raicilla
In addition to tequila, Jalisco is home to raicilla, another agave distillate with a smokier, more artisanal flavor profile. Ask for a tasting.
Shaken Fish is Mandatory
This local dish consists of a whole fish, marinated in a paste of chilis and spices, and grilled over wood. It is delicious and best shared in a group.
