Tacos de Barbacoa Arturo
Tacos de Barbacoa Arturo is a barbacoa taquería on Calle Morelos in Guadalajara's Colonia Americana, serving tacos soft or golden-fried with cheese.
Overview
The taquería is at Calle José María Morelos 957, on the edge of Colonia Americana and the city center. Travel guides describe it as a popular neighborhood spot that gets very busy on weekends; ordering at the window can be faster than waiting for a table. Sources spell the name both Arturo and Arthuro.
Menu
The barbacoa can be ordered blando (soft) or dorado (crisped on the griddle), and the cheese version, with queso melted until crunchy, is the order travel writers recommend. Consommé is often offered free with the meal, along with nopalitos, beans and salsas. Unlike many barbacoa stands that sell out around noon, it serves through the afternoon; Will Fly for Food lists hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday and until 3:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Guadalajara-style barbacoa is shredded meat braised with chiles and tomatoes and tucked into two corn tortillas that are crisped on the comal. It is mostly eaten at breakfast.
