Delica Mitsu

Delica Mitsu is a small restaurant located off a callejon called Cantaritos at the back left of Plazuela San Fernando when you enter San Fernando from Avienda Benito Jaurez. Cantaritos is one (the northernmost) of the connections between Plazuela San Fernando and Plazuela de San Roque.

Nori, the owner and chef, has daily menu changes and the food is always great! Paquetas are offered and shown in Delica Mitsu's deli case. Nori also prepares sushi, rollos primavera, seaweed and other salads. After 2:00pm Nori serves fried fish and many other delicacies.

Last night we ate at Delica Mitsu with a friend from North Carolina. We started sharing smoked salmon, eel and California roll sushi. After the sushi and a beer or two, we each moved on to our own plate of Nori's tempura fish. Nori cooks the fish so well - light, crisp, yet moist - that you have to go there and taste it to understand how good it is. 

This restaurant is always at the top of our choices when deciding where to eat out.

Tamales Purepeches

Located in Lomas de Cervera at # 70 Lomas de San Francisco (turn right off off Juventino Rosas, the road to SMA, like you are going to the Gymnasium where the Abejas basketball team plays their home games. The road swings left just past the Gym. Go another half mile or so and Purepeches is on the left. It is well marked. Call 733-03748 and ask the folks at the restaurant to guide you in if you get lost - or, be sane and call first.

This restaurant features traditional fare as prepared in Michoacan. The corundas are awesome. They are roundish tamales stuffed with pork (carne, my favorite), veggies, or cheese. They are wrapped in Acelga (a type of Swiss chard), and then covered in crema and a green salsa.

Tamales Purepeches has a very interesting menu which includes delicious pozoles, red and green.

Green (chicken/pollo) Pozole



Red (pork, carne on their menu) and Green Tamales

The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Some of our friends buy bulk pozole there to take home for lunches, etc.

There is good parking in the rear and any cab driver will know where it is. This is a family style, informal restaurant - very relaxed with many other gems on their menu. Mmmmmm!!

Fun at Purepeches
