Tortas Ahogadas Don José El de la Bicicleta

The 30 Best Restaurants in Guadalajara, Mexico | Eater

"The legendary Don José “el de la bicicleta” began his journey as a tortero at the legendary El Güerito stand — credited with creating tortas ahogadas back in 1960 — before going out on his own to sell the dish from a bicycle laden with birotes, tomato sauce, and carnitas. Today, the bicycle serves as a prop at his brick-and-mortar fonda, where his trademark item is a raw tomato sauce poured over a birote packed with carnitas, tongue, hog maw, or kidneys, plus as much of his fiercely spicy salsa de chile de árbol as you can handle, all served in a plastic bag. Trust us on this one: Go lighter on the spice here than you do elsewhere. [$]" - Bill Esparza
