Lindo Michoacan, Authentic Mexican Cuisine, our story...

Javier Barajas, the original owner of Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant,

learned to cook when his grandparents, Timoteo and Ninfa, sent him to study at

the seminary in Michoacan. At the seminary, a wooden revolving service door (the torno)

separated the nuns in the kitchen

from the priests and students in the dining

hall. Through a crack in this door, Javier

developed a friendship with the Mother

Superior.

After a few months Sister Anita asked

Javier if he would come to the kitchen every day to help the nuns lift and move

the heavy pots and pans. She noticed right away that Javier was quick and eager

to learn. Before long, she was teaching him to help with the food preparation as

well. He spent years mastering the secrets of Michoacan cuisine.

Now Javier and his family bring the great food and

cultural traditions of Lindo Michoacan to Las

Vegas. In Mexico they say, "If you want good food,

go to Michoacan." In Las Vegas we say, "If you want

good food, come to Lindo Michoacan Mexican

Restaurant ".

Beautiful Michoacan - "Land of Lakes and Fishermen"  Birthplace of Javier. Michoacan is widely known for its rich and varied culture and most notably for its unique art and cuisine. A state with abundant natural resources. Michoacan is one of Mexico's main producers of agricultural products.
