There's so much more than Cinco de Mayo (ft. Jose Vargas, La Jalisciense)

Show notes

Welcome to episode 1416 of your Daily Detroit.

Today, we’re talking about finding success in Southwest Detroit. The combination restaurant and market La Jalisciense has been making it happen for more than a decade.

Plus, what are some of the top dishes you should try? What are some keys to making it happen? And share some things about Cinco de Mayo you might not have known.

La Jalisciense chef Jose Vargas joins me to talk about it all.

Plus, I learned this after we recorded - you’re going to see another outpost of the popular restaurant coming to Telegraph near Wick Road in Taylor, soon.
