I intend to write a series of posts about places we like to eat in the city and state of Guanajuato. Here's the first:

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!!
