Tacos de Barbacoa Arturo

Colonia Americana, Guadalajara · Tacos · $

Arturo's has been serving barbacoa since 1967, when slow-cooked lamb wrapped in maguey leaves and cooked underground overnight was simply what you ate on weekends. The consomé - the broth the meat braises in - arrives before the tacos and is worth drinking slowly. Corn tortillas hand-pressed to order, diced onion, cilantro, and green salsa: this is the version every other barbacoa spot in Guadalajara measures itself against.
