WHAT TO EAT IN TEQUILA
This Magical Town in Jalisco is known for being the place of origin of the famous tequila.
A drink that has crossed borders, and is recognized and consumed throughout the world, but it is also famous for its gastronomy.
Here you can enjoy Jalisco food that includes delicacies such as red menudo (stew made of beef tripe), birria (stew made with goat meat), pozole (brothy soup made with pork, hominy, and red chiles), tortas ahogadas (rusty bread roll filled with pork carnitas and red onions, “drowned” in a red chile sauce), sopes, and pork stew in green and red sauce, to name a few.
If you want to explore the local cuisine you can try: camarones al tequila (shrimp with tequila), filete tequileño (fillet), salsa borracha (red sauce with tequila), pechuga agavera (chicken Brest), tostadas de chorizo con cuerito (sausage and preserving pork skin in vinegar) and gorditas de horno montadas en hojas de roble en la sierra de Tequila.
If you want to try something sweet we recommend you the tequila sorbet and the mango and plum preserves.
The most famous desserts in the town is the jericalla, a flan that is baked until the cream is burned.
If you want to have an encounter with the local gastronomy you can visit the “Cleofas Mota” Gastronomic Market, with a great variety of appetizers, or the “La Capilla” canteen, where you can taste the traditional “Batanga” (drink created in the town, with a unique combination of cola, lemon juice, and salt served in a frosty glass) or a tejuino (drink with lemon or lemon sorbet, salt, piquín pepper, and tequila).

“Jericalla” Recipe
Ingredientes para 17 jericallas:
- 2 liters of milk
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2 cinnamon stick
- 4 tablespoons of vanilla extract
- 8 eggs
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, heat up the milks, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla over medium heat. Let it boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, let it cool.
Beat the eggs, either by hand with a balloon whisk or with a mixer. Gradually add the hot milk to the eggs, beating at the same time so that the preparation is not cut. First put a little milk to temper and then add the rest of the milk.
Pass the mixture through a strainer. Divide mixture among 8 heat-resistant dessert dishes or ramekins.
Preheat the oven to 200ºC and when the jericallas are inserted, lower it to 180ºC. Bake in a water bath (bain marie) for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of custard comes out clean.
Brown under broiler for 3 to 5 minutes or until tops are golden or use a Crème Brûlée torch. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Un-mold onto dessert plates.
If you wish, you can garnish the plates with a raspberry sauce, a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint.
