Creator's Key Takeaways

Now, it's said that the fish taco was invented in Insanada.

This fish taco is 30 pesos. That's about $1.65 if you can believe it.

We love songs. But if you want to try an amazing taco while you're down in this area, you want to go over to Guadalajara.

This is where the modern margarita was invented.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Track all of your expenses to stay on budget.
✓Start the day with fish tacos at Tacos Dere for about $1.65.
✓Visit the historic district for a party vibe at Papa and Beer or a laid-back vibe at H Song.
✓Try bida tacos at Guadalajara and their favorite drink, Amichelada.
✓Go to the Riviera Hotel for the modern margarita invented there.
