Combining the average time spent at each location and traveling time in between, it should fill up about 6 hours of your day.

(Plaza Chica) Plaza Gertrudis Bocanegra

4.4
(8974)
Nestled just a block north of the bustling Plaza Grande, the Plaza Gertrudis Bocanegra, affectionately known as Plaza Chica, serves as a charming retreat in Patzcuaro. This vibrant square is adorned with lush trees and colorful flowers, creating an inviting atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. At its heart stands a statue honoring Gertrudis Bocanegra, a local heroine of Independence who played a pivotal role in her community's history.
My favorite town in Michoacán alongside Morelia. This plaza has some of the best local Mexican food I’ve ever had for the best prices I’ve ever seen in a popular town. Beautiful, old, historical, and romantic setting with a humble local vibe. I recommend the birria de borrego, tacos, tamales, enchiladas, and various soups.

Nice little plaza in Patzcuaro. Usually, it is busy, likely because there is an entrance to the market. The market is worth a visit. You might find vegetables and fruits, say Europeans like me, have never seen. The prices are very decent, if not to say low. In addition, the market has lots of Cocinas Economicas, with good quality food.

La Surtidora is a charming Mexican and Latin restaurant located in Patzcuaro, offering delicious traditional cuisine in a quaint setting facing Plaza Vasco de Quiroga. The ambiance is delightful, with the option to dine outdoors or indoors amidst shelves stocked with various items for sale. The menu features delightful dishes such as Uchepo and Swiss enchiladas, along with options for special diets.
We stopped at this restaurant by chance, knowing nothing much about it. What a surprise!! Our server was amazing considering our poor abilities to speak Spanish and his somewhat limited ability in English. His recommendations for dinner items was perfect. The food was delicious. Our drinks were great. The coffee and desert (carrot cake) was a great finish to a very enjoyable evening on our very first day in Patzcuaro Mexico 🇲🇽

The food we order has great flavor. All waiters were wearing face mask I guess as precaution. The service was excellent 👌. This is a great place to rest and also have a cup of unique coffee which they also sell.

My favorite restaurant in Patzcuaro Michoacán Mexico. Located in the central square and close to everything downtown. The food is a mixture of traditional Michoacano foods and international cuisine. The staff is amazing and the chef is excellent! The atmosphere is casual, upscale, and calm.
Sean G — Google review
Inside the restaurant is classic colonial architecture with a rich ambiance. Outside on the sidewalk sitting under the arcade overlooking the plaza is just perfect. We tried their Michoacán specialties and enjoyed the exploration. Service is relaxed so don't expect to be in a fast food environment but the staff are cheerful and attentive. No credit cards! Highly recommend a visit.

Quick service, nice ambience, great location, tasty food, good portion size and not too expensive. Despite being vegetarian, we found adequate choice of sopa tarasca, corunda con raja y queso and spaghetti. The lemonade was fantastic as well. Greatly appreciate that all waiters wear mask, face shield and gloves. Clean toilets. Cash only.

The location is great and the selection of drinks is even better anywhere from coffee and chocolate to tequila and charanda. You can also find traditional food and desserts. Stop for a coffee or a drink and a cigar right at the edge of the Plaza. The price is right but the place gets crowded and service can take a bit long.

Restaurante El Patio is a popular dining spot located in the heart of Vasco de Quiroga square, offering a taste of local regional cuisine from Morelia and Patzcuaro. The restaurant is known for its well-prepared dishes and great service. Visitors can savor traditional Michoacan platters, unique tacos, fresh salads, and delicious mole with distinct flavors.
Restaurant Review: El Patio It's on the south side of Plaza Grande in Pátzcuaro. This restaurant has been here since the last century. The food has always been good, but we were told they have a new chef, so we went to check it out. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience: good service, nice atmosphere, delicious comida.

Great spot to eat local regional food from Morelia and Patzcuaro. Everything was clean, well made and the service was also great. I ordered a Mole. It wasn’t my favourite mole of all time but it was great. This mole isn’t as sweet as the mole poblano actually it isn’t sweet at all you will taste chili and other flavours first.

The Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Salud is a historic Catholic church located on a hill that was once a pre-Hispanic ceremonial site. Construction began in 1540 and lasted until the 19th century, resulting in an impressive cathedral that stands as a centerpiece of Vasco de Quiroga's vision. The interior is adorned with captivating artworks, intricate decorations, and stunning stained-glass windows.

Casa de los Once Patios, situated in the charming town of Patzcuaro, Mexico, is a must-visit destination. This historic architectural marvel boasts eleven captivating courtyards, each with its own unique theme and allure. Adjacent to Casa de los Once Patios lies the Santa Caterina de Siena convent, now home to numerous artisans showcasing the cultural richness of Michoacan through their work.
We came in early on Christmas day, before the crowds. Best decision we ever made. Authentic ponchos, beautiful tapestries, placemats, and copper and silver ware from around the country. Vendors are polite and not pushy. Additionally, there is a miniatures store that is by far the gem of the patios. They don’t allow photos, and I didn’t realize it until I already took the video. Stop by there and just absorb it all.

Loved this place with lots of little artisan shops. The building itself is a 2-story colonial, built around 11 patios and courtyards which in turn are lined with individual shops and studios of many different artisans. I purchased some textiles as well as a gold leafed copper bowl. Patzcuaro is all about artisans and this is a great place to see a variety of them.

Located in the heart of Patzcuaro's downtown, Restaurant Bigoli is a fabulous establishment with an incredible chef. The pizza they serve is truly delectable, and their home salad offers a delightful blend of flavors. The pasta dishes are loved by children and the live music performances featuring opera singers create an unforgettable experience. A visit to this restaurant is a must, as their breakfast options are equally delicious. While the menu variety may be limited, each dish is expertly prepared and presented.

My drink was lovely and presented beautifully by the waiter. My lasagne however was very poor. It was a wet lump in the middle of the plate topped with watery mince over the top. There was no topping, no extras and not even a tiny garnish. I’m not sure this lasagne even touched a tomato. No care was taken with making this plate. They charge 205 pesos for that one big spoon full of food.

The pizza here is a stone oven style pizza with a nice crunch to it and great flavor. The breakfast here is equally as excellent and does not disappoint. The only thing lacking here is service. Our wait staff didn’t write down our order either time we went and messed up the order both times we visited. Hoping they can write things down in the future so as to not have this issue as the food was excellent.

This is the second time I have been at this restaurant. I appreciate the cozy and lovely atmosphere. The food is very good. I especially enjoyed the chilaquiles for breakfast. The coffee was delicious. I am Italian and people need to realize that in the Latin culture, such as Italy and Spain, when a waiter takes your order and then delivers your food they leave you alone and will not come back unless you ask them to. This is a custom in Italy and Spain, and I guess it is in Mexico as well. I prefer it to a waiter coming to you every few minutes asking "is everything ok?" while you have a mouth full of food. This place is very relaxing with delicious food. They give you time to enjoy a leisurely meal with family and friends and do not try to rush you out the door like in the US. I will be returning.

Restaurante Don Rafa is undoubtedly the most affordable choice in town. The overall quality of food in Patzcuaro is average, overpriced, and served in small portions.

It is without any doubt the best value in town. Overall the food in Pátzcuaro is very mediocre, very expensive, and the portions are tiny. It is the unfortunate consequence of the huge flow of tourists to the town. The best food is to be found either in the markets or among the street vendors, but if you want to play it safe, this place is your best choice.
