This is a spectacular and very fun restaurant where every table has a different design and setting. One room called “El Cuarto de las Solteronas (The Spinster’s Corner ) is decorated with hundreds of statues of St. Anthony set upside down. Latins believe that if you stand this miraculous saint on his head and pray really hard, you’ll get a husband! El Altar de las Conversaciones (The Altar of Conversation) is a communal table decorated as an altar. I’d go there just to see it but fortunately the food is fabulous. A great band was playing the Friday night we were there. This was my absolute favorite restaurant in Morelia.

Recommended dishes: Balde de huitlacoche Terrine of Corn mushroom, with corn, poblano chiles, and queso blanco. Solterones – Beef carpaccio with capers, green olives, perón chiles, cilantro in a lime-Maggi sauce dressing. Ensalada Kahlo – Spinach salad with grated carrot and coconut, seasonal fruit in a hibiscus flower dressing. Huesitos Morita y Tamarindo – Baby back ribs with a morita chile-tamarind barbecue sauce.
Good grilled meats and poultry and fish dishes
Good wine list and excellent margaritas

Something that shouldn’t be missed when traveling to Michoacán in the lovely painted ceiling at the tiny church in the village of Tupátaro. It makes a nice side trip when combined with a visit to the town of Cuanajo (known for its carved and elaborately decorated furniture,) especially if you plan your day so as to have lunch at this fabulous restaurant. Owners: Rodrigo y Blanca Vidales de Lemus have sparred no expense in the decoration and Blanca has a menu of daily home-style specials. This is the place to sample the famed carnitas (fried pork nuggets) and crispy thinly sliced beef cecina of the region.

Recommended dishes: Gazpacho de Bienvenida – cold jicama, cucumber, and pineapple soup. Carnitas – Crisply-fried pork nuggets. Cecina – with wonderful tortillas of corn in many colors and lively table sauces. Try the macadamia cake for dessert. Macadamias were introduced into the state about 400 years ago and are now a major cash crop.

While visiting the picturesque city of Patzcuaro and beautiful Lake Patzcuaro be sure and eat at this second story restaurant in a Colonial building full of fantastic arts and cratfs shops. (Be warned! If you’re a shopaholic, you’ll have to exercise an almost super-human amount of self-control — the offerings are quite tempting.) The menu , more Continental than Mexican, is inventive and light. Though I didn’t try them, there are several pasta dishes for those needing a fix.

Recommended dishes: Sopa Tarasca, Calabacitas con Almendras (zucchini with almonds), any of the salads, Pollo en Nogada (chicken in walnut sauce), Pescado Patzcuaro (Patzcuaro white fish with a sauce of parsley, cream, and almonds).
