Description

Patzcuaro's has held down its address in Highland since 1978, although it's made some changes over the past thirty years, adding a secluded patio to the side of the dark dining room and also a liquor license, which allows for those jumbo margaritas. The restaurant is named for a mountain town in Michoacán, a Mexican region whose cooking is dominated by indigenous Aztecan influence. But save for a couple of dishes, like the Michoacán carnitas, the fare at Patzcuaro's is a blend of modern Mexican standards, with Tex Mex-style enchiladas and nachos alongside the tripe stew, and tacos stuffed with pork stomach and beef cheeks. The green chile is some of the best in town, too.

    Nothing on Taquería Patzcuaro's menu costs more than eleven bucks, and almost everything is worth twice what you'll pay for it. Carnitas Michoacán or carne adovada for nine bucks? Four tacos albañil for $7.50? Those are bargain prices, particularly since these are some of the top carnitas, carne adovada and tacos albañil in the city. And the ambience in this three-decade-old restaurant is priceless. You can come in, settle down in a booth, watch Mexican talk shows or even the occasional bullfight on TV, knock back a couple of cold beers and eat a bunch of tacos under the frozen gazes of the Mexican revolutionaries and cowboys pictured on the walls, then get out for less than fifteen bucks. In these trying economic times, Patzcuaro is looking more vital than ever.

    This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Denver. It not only has a great atmosphere of local families, but the staff are amazingly nice. Okay now for the food. It's just fantastic. They have the best selection of tacos (the potato, steak and jalapeno one is killer), the fajitas are delicious, and the chips and salsa is never ending. Overall this place is a must. The neighborhood, the people, the grub .... one word. yummy.

  • 2008 | Best Free Chips and Salsa

    The once-ubiquitous free chips and salsa at Denver's Mexican restaurants have become harder and harder to come by lately. But Taquería Patzcuaro, one of the city's most venerable joints, continues this proud tradition, gifting every table with a basket of freshly made chips and Patzcuaro's extra-hot green salsa. What makes this salsa so good is a secret, but we've been assured that it's tomato-based. Be sure to pick up an ice-cold Mexican beer, margarita or fresh fruit licuado to wash... More »

  • 2007 | Best Taste of Michoacán

    Taquería Patzcuaro is almost three decades old, and with its recently acquired liquor license, it should last at least another thirty. Just about everything at this time-honored sit-down spot comes steeped in the flavors of Michoacán. From the mar y tierra plates and camarón al mojo de ajo in its deceptively simple lime and garlic sauce to the tacos albandíl with their white onions, roasted jalapeños and slivered fried potatoes that attend half of the other plates on the menu, Taquería Patzcuaro has a dist...

  • 2007 | Best Carnitas

    With all the high-end Mexican and nouvelle Mexican and fake chain Mexican restaurants coming and going in Denver, it's easy to forget places like Taquería Patzcuaro. It's easy to forget how friendly owner Francisco Almanza and the guys who work the floor are, how forgiving they are of our abysmal Spanish, how generous the kitchen can be when it comes to dishing out the pride of the house, giant hunks of par-cooked and fried pork shoulder that pass for carnitas down in Michoacán. But this for... More »
