Quiroga

A Quiroga institution, serving authentic carnitas for over 40 years. Served with handmade tortillas and a variety of homemade salsa (most quite spicy, so try a little before dousing your carnitas in it).

Beautiful colonial courtyard dining area serving regional foods of Michoacan including a delicious Sopa Tarascan and of course, carnitas with tortillas and salsas. Large pitchers of cold aguas frescas.

Authentic regional Mexican cuisine with homemade stews (guisadas) and grilled meats. No set menu: dishes will depend on what is in-season and available at local markets.

Traditional Mexican downtown hotel with central courtyard area with a restaurant and bar (creates a bit of noise early in the morning). Rooms are spacious and clean with somewhat dated decor. Parking area is too small for number of guests.

Traditional Mexican downtown hotel with rooms arranged around a central courtyard and 3 floors of rooms above. Rooms are spacious but minimally furnished with inadequate WiFi and inadequate parking. No elevators (so you might to request a first-floor room to avoid hauling suitcases up 3 flights of stairs).

Older hotel that's got a lot of potential but lacks charm and maintenance. Musty smell in rooms, which have poor WiFi and no wall outlets in the room.

Basic hotel with somewhat small rooms. Off-street parking available.

Large artisan market that sells some of the best quality products from the various villages and islands around Lake Patzcuaro. This is a bustling market that is a frequent stop for tour buses from Morelia or Patzcuaro that will take visitors to see craftsmen in their shops (and of course, with visits to this market or the Casa de Once Patios in Patzcuaro).
