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.

1. Cantina La Fuente

Bar, Mexican, Cocktails, Wine, Beer

In the heart of the city, this cantina is one of the most famous places to have a drink. With almost 100 years to its name, few things have changed since the opening of this original Mexican bar. You can ask for a tequila “solo” or combined with soda.

2. El Parián

Restaurant with Rooms, Mexican

A few minutes from the center of Guadalajara, you can visit this huge patio surrounded by 20 different spots to drink tequila. You can order your tequila “derecho” (solo, straight) or ask for a traditional “cazuela” (crockpot) a mixed juice of lemon, orange, and grapefruit with soda.
