La Casa del Portal
The setting, a converted three-story mansion, has history. Don Juan Villaseñor lived here during the 16th century and Lázaro Cárdenas retreated here when he was president of Mexico from 1934 to 1940. There’s a stunning upstairs bar, La Terraza, overlooking the Plaza de Armas, an in-house wine shop, oh and it serves meals. Specialties include a Purépecha trout smothered in red chili sauce and local cheese.

Al Taquito
This tiny taquería, near the aqueduct and the clandestine make out promenade - Callejón Romántica − serves up delicious nopales (cactus), chorizo, shredded pork and beef tacos and burritos. Its specialty, alambre, a diced mixture of onions, sweet peppers, beef and chorizo, covered in cheese and served with griddled tortillas, is a hit with local uni students.

Ancient architecture and modernism coexist here, sometimes awkwardly and the menu is likewise off-beat - mingling Italian, Mexican and Thai dishes. But if you order right, you'll leave happy. The octopus carpaccio - with five thin slices of octopus sprinkled with sea salt crystals, parsley and drizzled with flavorful olive oil - is fantastic.

Cocina Económica Mary
This busy family joint smells delicious. The cafeteria-style open kitchen serves filling meals with your choice of main (eg, chicken mole, pulled pork with squash or chiles rellenos – stuffed chilies with cheese or meat), along with soup, rice, beans and freshly made tortillas.

Mole Orapondiro
This sunny café specializes in one thing: a rich, thick and chocolatey mole sauce. Local ladies smuggle home bottles of it, so they can pass it off as their own. You can have it ladled over chicken, rice and beans and on tortas. Get here early because chicken always sells out.

Restaurante Don Rafa
The bow-tied waiters at this narrow, intimate restaurant serve set, three-course menus starring Mexican classics, such as chicken mole. There are tablecloths and candles on the tables, but fluorescent lighting spoils the mood. Still, a good deal.

Mirasoles
Authentic Michoacán cooking, including traditional bean soup, chicken mole and chamorro (pork leg dry-rubbed with chili and cooked in a clay pot), is dressed up and served in a gorgeous historic building. It serves more than 100 wines.

Taquería Carlitos
Locals line up around the block for Carlitos’ crunchy, savory rolled tacos filled with beef, potatoes, beans and cheese. An order includes six tacos served in a plastic bag and splashed with red or green salsa. Beef sells out early.

Villa San José
About 3km south of town is a luxury hotel dining room with world class views. Grab a table on the terrace and snack on huitlacoche quesadillas and marinated, grilled shrimp tacos, as the twinkling city spills out below.

Hinde Kumanchikua
After a drunken evening at Bar Rio you'll be eternally grateful for Uruapan's best late night taqueria. Munch beef chorizo or tacos al pastor, served with three fiery salsas.
