The Best Spots To Try Tequila In Guadalajara

Nowadays you can get a tequila shot everywhere in the world, but there is no better place to taste this drink than its birthplace: Jalisco. In Guadalajara, the state capital, you will find many places to enjoy this unique type of alcohol. Remember that authentic tequila is made only with Agave tequilana Weber, so if you want to have a drink take a look before at the bottle and be sure it says 100% agave.
