A typical plate everybody knows and eats in Colima is sopitos.

      Sopitos are well known because of their amazing taste. This plate is what people usually ask for in cenadurias (a restaurant open only in the evening and serves light meals).

     There are two way people eat this dish, the best known one is the normal sopitos, the other is called the sope gordo.

      Sopitos are made with tortilla which can be served crispy or soft, with meat on top with a delicious tomato sauce. It can have also extra ingredients: striped lettuce, tomato and cheese.

The dish is served with five or six sopitos, and an order costs approximately two dollars.

The sope gordo is the other kind; the difference is that the tortilla is bigger and thicker and it served with only one sope.

This typical preparations are served in Mexican restaurants and cenadurias in Villa de Alvarez, Colima. One special place that I recommend is named Doña Julia, that makes delicious sopitos.
