Traditional Kitchens of San Jerónimo

The Taste of Fire and History

Aquí no encontrarás restaurantes de lujo ni manteles largos; encontrarás algo mucho mejor: la calidez de los fogones de leña y la sabiduría de las Maestras Cocineras.

San Jerónimo Purenchécuaro is a gastronomic sanctuary where pre-Hispanic recipes are kept alive, not because they're trendy, but because of pure family heritage. It's home to iconic figures like the Master Cook Rosalba Morales Bartolo, who has taken the flavor of his people to international stages.

Here, the cuisine is honest, straightforward, and profound.
