History
The taco gobernador was created in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, in 1987. According to the most widely repeated account, the restaurant Los Arcos made it for a visit by the state governor at the time, Francisco Labastida Ochoa, which is where the name comes from. It is a griddle-crisped tortilla with sautéed shrimp, melted cheese and poblano chile strips.
Cultural Notes
Es la aportación más famosa de Sinaloa a la cultura del taco y pieza fija en las marisquerías del noroeste. Se sirve con limón y salsa, casi siempre acompañado de aguachile o ceviche.
