“The state of Jalisco has made incalculable contributions to Mexico’s culture and food. It’s hard to imagine life in the country without tequila or mariachis, for instance, so interwoven are they within the fabric of national life. Iconic regional dishes like birria and the torta ahogada — both born in Jalisco — aren’t quite so ubiquitous, but both have transcended the state’s borders to become treasured nationwide.”
