Pátzcuaro Restaurants

  1. Cenaduria La Pollita Feliz

    Enormous skillets sizzle with perfectly crisp and tender chicken, potatoes and carrots and boil with sweet and tangy enchilada sauce at this packed food stall beneath the pink tarp. Its Super Orden includes salad, enchiladas, two whole chickens, a pile of steaming papas and feeds four. Delicious!

  4. La Surtidora

    Waiters are dressed in chef whites, but don't expect fine dining at this old school café, which has been in operation on Plaza Grande since 1916. The beamed interior is perfumed with roasting coffee, it serves all manner of salads and the chicken enchiladas come topped with butternut squash.

  5. Mistonga

    When you dine Argentine, steak is your best option. This gorgeous enclosed courtyard restaurant serves it in a variety of ways, such as milanesa (pounded thin and breaded) and chimichurri (marinated in a garlic, parsley and olive oil sauce). It also has a fantastic Argentine wine list.

  9. 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.
