Karne Garibaldi, the Guadalajara restaurant most associated with the dish, earned a Guinness World Record for fastest service, helped by how quickly a bowl of carne en su jugo can be ladled out.

Finely chopped grilled beef and bacon simmer in their own beefy juices with pinto beans, then get ladled into a bowl and topped with raw onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime. Market counters and casual comedores across Guadalajara serve it as a soupy, savory lunch.

Why it's made this way: The dish is a Guadalajara original from the mid-20th century, now considered one of Jalisco's defining contributions to Mexican street and market food.
