Cuish Cocina

Morelia


A charming restaurant with stone walls, folk art and repurposed tables, Cuish cooks up traditional dishes from Michoacan and Oaxaca: sopa Tarasca (spicy bean soup), taquitos de chapulines (grasshoppers tacos), tlyuda con huitlacoche (a large tostada with mushroom fungus), and more. A long menu of mezcal from both states, rounds out the menu well. Service is quick and friendly too.
