Lu Cocina Michoacana. This restaurant is lovely in El Centro de Morelia. You can find it in a hotel-casino in downtown Morelia. The service was wonderful. The Enchiladas Placeras De Pollo was delicious. It comes with five enchiladas. The enchiladas were flavorful, and the chicken was seasoned and cooked. The beans and guacamole was so good too. They also have tequila shots with shooters, which were also good If you're ever in Morelia, you should check this place out.
Food is decent and environment is pretty relaxing, perfect for a late breakfast or late lunch. We had gone twice in one day. What we ordered: *cappuchino - very cute and tasty *macha latte - a little on the sweet side *omlette chipotle - pretty good, added a few eggs on the side and bacon *huevos con chorizo - very tasty, added a few eggs *pork belly - delicious *Corte de la casa - pretty good steak.
Overall experience was nice! We had a party of 10 and it was around 11am on a Monday. Service was very friendly and attentive. Food in general was great and we left satisfied. If you're looking for a bite near the centro and in the middle of city this is a great spot. A lot of options the area.
I primarily came here for the cafe de olla. I was not disappointed at all. The cafe de olla comes with your sugar and cinnamon and coffee mix on a separate plate so that you can make it to your liking. It was delicious!! My husband and I came for brunch, I had the Moreliano omelette that is accompanied by uchepo and a creamy sauce. I really enjoyed it. To drink I had a green juice, made fresh with all the healthy fibers. I recommend this spot to everyone looking for good food close to the historic center. The prices are average for this area.
I always come here whenever I'm in town, it's peaceful, you have the perfect view of the cathedral and the staff is friendly. I've been coming here for the past six years and each time i try something different, this past visit i tried the Alfredo pasta. The pasta was given with a huge portion which i liked cause i was starving lmao but it's perfect to share with two people! The only thing i didn't like was the addition of micro greens, they didn't need to be on there and i removed them completely. We got a side order of French fries which were perfect to share at the table, especially for my two year old sister! The fries aren't seasoned with salt, they are seasoned with lemon pepper so do expect that & the side order of beans was a huge portion as well and we were not able to finish it. This place is great because it is in the open, you get an amazing view, live musicians and singers are always near, there's an ice cream shop around the corner for dessert and the staff is always friendly! That being said, sometimes the staff will leave for a long period of time and its hard to ask for extra items like ketchup, getting other drinks or dishes. At times i had to go inside the restaurant and ask for my waiter lol. But none the less i still enjoy this place!
Food was good! Slow service but oh well. They don't accept cards .. they do as you ask great server.
Try this place out! In a really nice location. We sat for a bit after eating and just enjoyed the view. Food was good. They brought us bread with sauces before our meal. The waiter Jaime was extremely nice and helped us with choices on the menu. They also offered the menu in English! They accept debit cards here.
I was a little apprehensive about eating at Lu Cocina because it was poised to be a total tourist trap; a large patio hotel restaurant overlooking the city's historic center. But - was proven to be wrong! My wife and I split a bowl of la tarasca to start (black bean soup) that was excellently spiced and cheesed-up. My wife ordered a chiles en nogata-esque dish - not stuffed with beef or covered with pomegranate seeds, but was covered in an amazing-but-not-too-sweet sauce. I ordered a rack of lambs served over a rich, dark, slightly-sweet sauce. The lamb was a bit over medium-rare but was otherwise good. Our server was super-helpful, and service overall was prompt. In terms of decor and location, you really can't beat the patio on a warm night.
I came to eat here with my two family members because the reviews here are are 4 stars or above. Since we have had food all over and have come to Morelia often, we found the food at Lu Cocina to be lackluster. I ordered the omelette with chipotle sauce and the presentation was pretty ugly. The omelette was excessively covered with "chipotle" sauce and on top of a bolillo cut in half with an arugula salad with weird dressing . My 2 family members ordered Chilaquiles Enchorizados. We asked the waiter to have the chorizo cooked so it was fully fried, but the cook did not do that. The tortillas were soggy for those two plates and came with frijoles. So one star removed for taste and aesthetically unpleasing. 2nd star removed for not removing the plate that my family member did not eat from the bill and I'mbeing very generous. It's not worth the price and will not be returning.
Beautiful spot to sit and people watch, the view of the cathedral across the street is also quite breathtaking. Food was delicious, the pork shank tacos was one of our favorite dishes during our week in Morelia, the mini sopes (appetizer) were also exceptional. Cocktails were very good as well. One of our plates came out bordering on lukewarm, which was a bit of a let down, but otherwise a great experience.
Excelente restaurante de alta cocina regional a un buen precio y ubicación. La comida y desayunos están buenísimos, sus ingredientes principales son regionales (aguacate de Uruapan, chile michoacano, cerdo de la Piedad, trucha de Zitácuaro, etc...) Se encuentra en el hotel casino a un costado de la catedral de Morelia.

The food is good for a traditional kitchen and the service is great. The place is so nice with a lot of handcraft. I really recommend this restaurant. read more
My review is 4.5 stars. The reviews are accurate; this is a cozy place with great service and innovative regional food. The flavors are familiar but combined in a way I hadn't thought of, and surprisingly, they taste amazing. Each bite is rich with textures, flavors, and leaves a lasting aftereffect when you finish chewing. The staff is very friendly and helpful, welcoming you with a piece of sourdough bread paired with purple corn masa (which I believe they make in-house), served alongside a rich but not spicy salsa. For those used to big portions, you'll need to order more than one dish here. The portions are "normal/common in Mexico," so foreigners should be aware. This place is worth a visit. read more

The shrimp with mango sauce and rice entree was a little bit too sweet for my taste but nonetheless it was tasty. The carne ranchera entree, guacamole and chips were delicious. Staff was attentive and catered to our large groups both times we dined here during our stay in Patzcuaro. I would dine here again. read more
