Café Mechuacan — Restaurant in Michoacán

This is my third time visiting - my girlfriend has been visiting since 2018 - and the quality and service is always consistently great. My girlfriend's go-to dish is gohan pollo agridulce, which has been perfect for six years now. This time, I had a milanesa, which is the Mexican (and superior; much more tasteful, doesn't require lemons or anything) variant of a schnitzel. For starters, we shared montaditos Italianos, which were just perfect (soft bread, delicious flavours) unlike all of the tapas and pintxos we tried in Spain.

There are always many agua frescas here. My girlfriend took a jamaica, I a ciruela. However, the fruit was slightly spoiled. It was still drinkable, and the staff could easily just have given it to me, but the staff let me try it to see if I liked it, and allowed me to choose something else (I chose a coco limon) if I did not like it.

The hamburger was cooked nicely, but the bun was a bit hard. It’s also worth noting that there are no soda options available.

Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend...

Americans and people who’ve had actual Asian food: BEWARE. I am… so, so confused how this place has such good reviews. My partner and I are not picky, at all and this food was literally inedible. My coconut shrimp was a burnt, crunchy, oily mess and the Milanesa was a joke… like dry cardboard, served with dry bread and plain fries with no sauces… and then we asked for sauce and never got any lol. And wow, then the fish filet actually tasted like factory fish and dirt. It was actually so terrible my guy and I were laughing out loud. Oh and loud club music playing when people are trying to sit and eat. We are so confused....
