" El Michoacano is truly remarkable! The food is authentic, and the staff is so inviting. I tried many different dishes, and every single one was amazing.

Everything tasted so fresh, and the service was attentive but not intrusive. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the mole, and everything was phenomenal. Will definitely come back again.
