Find out what International restaurants to try in Patzcuaro. Pátzcuaro ( ˈpatskwaɾo (help·info)) is a large town and municipality located in the state of Michoacán. The town was founded sometime in the 1320s, at first becoming the capital of the Tarascan state and later its ceremonial center. After the Spanish took over, Vasco de Quiroga worked to make Pátzcuaro the capital of the New Spain province of Michoacán, but after his death, the capital would be moved to nearby Valladolid (today Morelia). Pátzcuaro has retained its colonial and indigenous character since then, and has been named both a "Pueblo Mágico" and one of the 100 Historic World Treasure Cities by the United Nations. Pátzcuaro and the lake region it belongs to is well known as a site for Day of the Dead celebrations.

Wonderful little hidden restaurant. 5 course tasting menu changes weekly we were told.Each course was a taste treat and well thought out.Textures were spot on for the most part.Pastry on the appetizer. Could of been crispier and fresh. Soup great , salad great flavor no severe criticism for myself maybe just a tiny bit too much dressing. Main had great flavors but was not served hot but more room temp and onion rings were not crisp.Dessert most disappointing! Pastry again wasnât freshly baked and custard had weak flavor. Still criticisms aside overall all good but needed fine tuning!
2. Rancho la Mesa

I have a hotel in Patzcuaro and I always recommend the Rancho de la Mesa for a Margarita, guacamole & Arrechera (classic marinated beef), they also have a delicious organic burger. I like to go in the late afternoon for the sunset and the amazing view of Lake Patzcuaro and the islands and surrounding mountains. They close early so plan an early dinner or mid day comida.Victoria, muchas gracias, esta es tu casa, gracias por seguir visitandonos!!!

I have long liked Big´s. They had a location on Pátzcuaro´s plaza grande that was sort of invaded by a new Italian-style restaurant right next door--Restaurant del Naranjo--and now the owner of the building in which Big´s was located suddenly and without warning threw them out on the street practically overnight (something typical that happens here in Pátzcuaro) but they have landed on their feet on the western portal in which the municipal offices are located. Alberto and MarÃa are survivors, thankfully, and the new place is pleasant and the pizza is terrific. My partner and I have been twice in the last week. The salads are great too. And the homemade desserts are simply delicious. I wish the owners all success in their new digs. One evening the place was packed with visitors from outside.

This elegant restaurant consistantly has slow service and disappointing food. What should be a four star restaurant because of the beautiful dining room is totally inadequate because of the management, service, and food quality. I give it 1.5 stars in the real world. It is tooooooo bad!
