For years up until about 6 years or so ago, my favorite place to take visitors was El Tejaban in Tacambaro. The place is no more, but the unpretentious food was always a delight, especially with a few bottles of Don Julio and sopes galore.The place is now a turnaround for taxis, it was a rustic shed roofed eating terrace with the kitchen in the same room overlooking the valleys to the west. Spent many an afternoons there watching the lightning storms pass as the rain hit the metal roof so hard you couldn't carry on a conversation.....Tanchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196129338636347646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-27182194151418315112012-03-24T15:37:37.572-06:002012-03-24T15:37:37.572-06:00Tancho if there are some new ones I haven't he...Tancho if there are some new ones I haven't heard any positive comments, Boston Market has the most decent and ONE supermarket I make a trip to just for their roasted chicken y no hay mas...I don't eat much fried anything...Andeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-31616669596227888862012-03-24T15:21:50.213-06:002012-03-24T15:21:50.213-06:00We are having lunch tomorrow at Pollos Asados (al ...We are having lunch tomorrow at Pollos Asados (al carbón) El Tejaban, in Tzurumutaro. My kind of place.<br /><br />Back in the 90's, we visited the Copper Canyon area three or more times. The first time was an adventure. After that, it was ho-hum. Most of the train ride is overrated. For me, the high point is the Témoris Staion descent/ascent.<br /><br />I think the secret to a satisfactory Copper Canyon trip is to take an excursion, preferably over night, to Urique or maybe Batopilas. We never did.<br /><br />Saludos,<br />Don CuevasDon Cuevashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13512081335891808593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-11715804612700448352012-03-24T15:03:17.327-06:002012-03-24T15:03:17.327-06:00How do you buy a pass?

Can't put my finger on exactly what, maybe the health issues with transfats,etc,low salt and now offering grilled chicken, taste of the chicken has suffered.

Much cheaper to buy a cooked bird in the supermarket.JerryLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33849671.post-28917455989437719252012-03-24T13:38:45.760-06:002012-03-24T13:38:45.760-06:00The trip was a little anticlimactic because of the...The trip was a little anticlimactic because of the hype from a few friends. Our trip was interesting at first, then disappointing after a horse back ride and hike to see a waterfall that was a drip into a almost dry stream, adding some equipment failures, overzealous vendors in Cerochahui I was expecting something different. <br /><br />I think the main issues is that Michoacan and Patzcuaro is in itself so beautiful that I am comparing a lot of stuff to home.<br /><br />We enjoyed Creel , and Batopilas reminded us of so many little towns in Michoacan that we could have exchanged locations without knowing.<br />I would do it again, taking someone who is less critcal and jaded than I. I would enjoy seeing their reaction. <br />And I still stand by my statment, so that more people don't show up from all over the world.
