I will always love restaurants that make a good meal unavoidable, restaurants that surprise me, that offer excellence and dedication and tradition in the least likely locations, that turn me around despite my best efforts at effete disdain, that remind me (over and over again) that great food persists regardless of time or temper. With the unexpected depths of the menu, the honesty and simplicity of the cuisine -- with the comforting service and drunken parrots, the families in the dining room and the surprising transposition of true Mexican flavors to a hotel parking lot in Aurora -- Guadalajara instructed me yet again in the power of a great meal to cure almost anything.
