La Chula Comida Mexicana — Restaurant in Jalisco

I want you to look at me the way my lunch does. No, look at me the way I look at lunch. There we go. That's better.

Lengua, yes Mom, tongue. I've met it several times, but I never truly knew it until today. La Lengua Veracruzana. I'm not sure if they were expecting me to like it, but I noticed all the owner and all of the staff were watching as I started to dig in. I'd also been dancing and got caught singing along to Usher, so maybe it was the general spectacle of it all they were taking in. But I can't fake my reaction, and I'm not sorry for pulling off hot pink so well. This was an amazing plate of food.

Crunchy, yet soft veggies, the meat was very tender and cut easily with a fork. Even on a hot day, their soup is a light and savory start to the meal. Their house beans are awesome, a good kind of salty. Cute little mini-bottle of ranch for the salad, which I'd completely been oblivious of while consuming the rest of the plate.

La Chula is a straight shot down the hill towards the beach from where I'm living. A block away from one of my favorite landmarks to grab an Uber to get as far away from, and as quickly as I can, Señor Frog's Gift Shop.

Stop in, breakfast and lunch served every day, but Sunday, 8:15AM-4PM. I'll grab photos of their regular menu. I just haven't needed to look at it yet. Stick to the board, you can't go wrong.

They have a limited offering chalkboard, which is $6.50 after 1PM. You get a drink, soup, an entree plate, and torillas. Photo of today's menu is included. My third time here and each time has been great, and I didn't anticipate it to continue to exceed expectations. I'm not sure next time will top this one, but I'll keep...

I ordered the sopa de langosta, their 'specialty'. I was the only one in there and it took approximately 45 minutes. Their kitchen is fully visible via a large open window from the dining area and the entire time I was watching the cook just idling around not really doing anything. I ordered a glass of juice to pass time, which was served at room temperature, which is pretty warm given the climate here. Go microwave yourself of glass of orange juice and try to enjoy that.

When it finally did arrive, I was beyond hungry. It was served in a massive bowl. There was no flavor to it at all; heavily diluted. The best I can describe it was like drinking chili pepper tea. As for the lobster, they were severely overcooked to the point they were mush. I guess that's what took so long.Despite my hunger, I couldn't bring myself to enjoy this at all and it was actually the very first time in my life that I decided not to finish a meal; $30USD mistake. The waiteress/owner was unconcerned, as if she was...

La Chula was an amazing restaurant with lovely servers and amazing food. The owner was very kind and inviting to us. I would definitely recommend the chili rellenos, mollettes that were sweet and the rancheros with chorizo. We went there almost everyday. We were here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Go and explore this great restaurant. You...
