Restaurante Las Yacatas — Restaurant in Michoacán

A beautiful upscale restaurant with an amazing view of the valley and lake. This is a hidden gem in Michoacán Mexico and I definitely recommend it! The chef has traditional Michoacán dishes and other Mexican cuisine. The seafood, shrimp, octopus, and lobster is amazing! The steaks are aged and delicious cuts of steaks. The wine selection is great and the beverage selection is great. The atmosphere is fantastic and the view is amazing! You can dine inside or on the balcony depending upon the weather. The staff is attentive, polite, and friendly. They explained all of the dishes and the ingredients. Located across the street are the ruins of an ancient pyramid in Michoacan.
