WHAT TO EAT IN TZINTZUNTZAN

Tzintzuntzan, like many other places in Michoacán, has a good number of traditional dishes.

The cuisine in this town has been able to preserve the ancestral culture and make it alive again through gastronomy.

The Magical Town is famous for its gastronomic specialties: caldo ahogado made with a variety of fish from Lake Pátzcuaro, trout soup, fish tamales, corundas (triangular-shapped tamal) and charales that are eaten fried with salt and lemon.

One of its most traditional dishes is the churipo de pescado, a fish broth with red chili peppers and vegetables. Other main dish in this town is conejo en chile (fresh-corn stew with rabbit).

You can also try a unique drink, a version of atole prepared with sweet corn, aniseed and a green tomato sauce.
