Birrieria Apatzingan — Restaurant in Los Angeles

UNESCO has recognized traditional Mexican cuisine as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity and the cuisine of Michoacán was an instrumental part of Mexico’s winning this great distinction.

Michoacán was selected by Mexico as the principal cuisine to represent traditional cuisine - not Oaxaca or Puebla.

The best food in Michoacán is made by cooks in Tierra Caliente which is a region of Michoacán. This restaurant features food in the Tierra Caliente style! Apatzingan is a town in Tierra Caliente.

Today I had a Morisqueta and Huchepo Party!

I came with a good friend and ordered the Morisqueta which is a bed of white rice with beans, chile and meat on top! It was amazingly the best Morisqueta I’ve had in a US restaurant! The huchepos were incredible too! These are also known as tamales de elote. In Michoacán we put cream and salsa on top of them. Their Jamaica is great!

Huchepos are $8.49 Morisqueta is $14.99

They play great Mexican music of all types. The restaurant is pretty small so you may have to wait.

The parking...

I really love BIRRIERIA APATZINGAN bcuz they have the best MEXICAN BIRRIA from the San Fernando Valley, it has been my favorite place from years, it's very delicious and tasty, the tortillas are hand made, it's not spicy but you can added to your taste, that's the main dish they specialize but they have a great Menu of Mexican dishes, right now they have table service but the tables are very separate and also they have tables outside that's very good for this weather, the attendees are very nice, polite, friendly, they're great people to deal with, a friend introduced me to BIRRIERIA APATZINGAN and she said I know when we can't come together, you'll come on your own bcuz I know you'll like it and she wasn't wrong since then I visit them every time that I can, I recommend this place 100 % just bcuz they're the best...

The waitress brought my son's carne asada out first and as she turned around to the table next to me I noticed a hair in his meal, I immediately told the waitress and her and the cook proceeded to tell me it was mine. It was on the table for 5 seconds before i let her know. So They took it back and brought out another as my son was eating the rice he found a rock in it. We were disgusted and left the food because I didn't want to get into an altercation by getting blamed again. Will never come here again and It's also inconvenient since its small with few tables, few parking...
