Fonda Doña Gabina Escolatica

Top choice in Guadalajara


This narrow, barnlike restaurant on a delightful Zapopan side-street of pastel-colored houses is bedecked with sunny colored textiles and specializes in pozole (traditional soup or stew made with hominy, pork and chilies) and monumental tostada de pollo, a huge pile of chicken and cabbage on a toasted tortilla.
