Having recently returned from Guadalajara during this day in Huntington Park, there was not much more to long for than carne en su jugo (below), the most Tapatío of Tapatío dishes. Translating loosely as "meat in its own juices," this stew has all of the juices of the beef it is made with along with those of the added bacon, beans, tomatillo, and the secret spices of each cook.

The version above, found at a pit-stop for drinks on Santa Fe Avenue, was in a place known more for its tortas ahogadas, another gem of Guadalajara.

And that drink above, the jarrito loco (top photo), don't miss the chance to have this citrusy tequila creation either, usually served in a handmade clay jug known as a jarrito (little jar).

Unfortunately this was between two other meals and other specials from Jalisco were left untried. This casual and popular eatery full of families will keep calling until more meals are returned for though, all the food on everyone’s plates looked very good.
