No enchiladas! Enchiladas are border food. I had a friend from Guadalajara City and she and her kith and kin made me some good food! One of the dishes be tortas. Its a sandwich with roasted pork, lettuce, tomato, hot green salsa, and guacamole and beans on a bolillo (Portuguese roll). Another scrummy meal be posole. Its pork stew basically, cooked beside hominy, served hot with fixins- sliced radishes, fresh sliced jalapenos, salsa, cilantro, and queso fresco (mexican cheese).
Don't forget the michilada! Its a Corona or your favorite mexican beer next to a huge dash of mexican hot sauce (like Cholula or Tabasco) and a squeeze of lime and brackish, if you want. Delish! Enjoy!
La Chata is a restaurant that I've visit for a couple years now contained by Guadalajara.
They have traditional Mexican Cuisine and it is so great.
Go on their website and check their menu out and conceivably it will help you take home up your mind. My favorite plates are, Queso Fundido with ground chorizo, enchiladas, flautas, carne adobada and a angelic guacamole.

Good Luck !
