Tortas Ahogadas Don José — Restaurant in Jalisco

After reading about this place all over the internet, I was finally able to give it a try today. This is considered one of THE spots to come and have a torta ahogada because of its history. The recipe for these specific tortas has been around for a really long time and they are beloved by many people here in the city.

I came around 3 pm and was expecting there to be a line but it was fortunately not that packed. I was able to order and was served promptly.

The two men serving the food will ask you if you want your torta in a bag which is the way they are traditionally had, or in a bowl. They also ask you how much sauce you want and how much spicy salsa you want too. They give you a fairly generous portion though, I can’t imagine anyone would want more than two scoops of sauce to douse their torta in.

Busque las mejores tortas ahogadas de Guadalajara, la verdad es que parecía un riesgo simplemente basar la decisión en una búsqueda por internet, definitivamente son las mejores tortas ahogadas que he probado, la torta en si (el pan) crujiente de buena calidad, la carne de muy buen sabor, excelente cocción, la salsa de tomate crudo con el balance ideal de tomates frescos y la salsa picante en su medida justa agrego ese picor rico que pude disfrutar cada bocado de la torta, el ambiente del lugar si bien es un pequeño local te hace sentir muy de comida callejera....un lugar imperdible en cualquier visita a Guadalajara.

Last time here in GDL I tried a torta ahogada elsewhere and really wasn't impressed. My local friend brought me here and what a treat! Only my second true torta ahogada so don't have much to compare it to but man was it tasty. The pork was nice and tender and the sauce was perfect. It was also a fun experience to eat it in the bag. Excited to try more torta ahogadas to see how this stacks up....
