Take a seat at Guadalajara’s Karne Garibaldi restaurant and you will barely have time to admire the bright murals of local landmarks and mariachi musicians that adorn the walls before a steaming plate of carne en su jugo (literally “meat in its juice”) is placed before you.

A local institution, Karne Garibaldi holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest ever food service, with the waiters laying out a full menu in just 13.5 seconds on August 31, 1996.

“It began as a game between the waiters to see who could bring the food to each table the fastest,” Daniel Flores, the manager of the largest of Karne Garibaldi’s six branches, told me as his staff brought out a full spread. “That competition led to us attempting the Guinness Record.”

Almost 20 years later, the waiters still pride themselves on the speed of their service and most customers will find their food has arrived within one minute of ordering. It helps that carne en su jugo - a regional specialty native to Guadalajara and the western state of Jalisco - is the only main course on the menu.
