Michoacán cuisine can best be described as soulful and simple, but complex. According to James Beard Award-winning chef Pati Jinich, dishes in Michoacán are typically made with fewer ingredients than those from other Mexican regions, though the end result is typically more complex.
About El Cazo Restaurant
Our Story
Home cooking for you might be your mother's macaroni and cheese. For others it's your grandmother's chicken dumplings and for many it's the fond memory of their mothers apple crumble pie. And for my family and I... For the last 35+ years, our taste buds and heart have been drawn by the smells and flavors of the Michoacán home kitchen. The first fragrance that fills our memory is that of pine wood burning in the clay stove centered in the mountain kitchen. One note behind the wood smoke is the scent of beans boiling in a clay pot, and the fragrance chord is finished by a top note of tortillas toasting on the clay comal (a large flat clay griddle). Our grandmother's kitchen in Michoacán Mexico. Anything our grandma's hands have touched is beyond delicious!
We miss you abue

Our journey is rooted in the cherished memories of our humble grandparents, who worked tirelessly to raise a family of three with unwavering integrity, motivation, and strong values. Through both good and challenging times, they instilled in us the importance of hard work and dedication in everything we do. Their legacy is the driving force behind our aspirations and the experience we aim to provide for our customers.
We love you abue, Don Lute
