Can you recommend a place for barbacoa? Don Miguel is not at El Pueblito anymore.

Thanks!

You can still get barbacoa there. You just need to call a day in advance and they will make it special for anyone. 755-558-6105 or 553-4034.

Carol the barbacoa was a whole sheep wrapped in banana leaves and cooked underground slowly Saturday night. I seriously doubt if I call up and say I want it they are going to start the fire going just for me.
It was a great Sunday tradition in Zihuatanejo, and a great meal and I am saddened we lost it for [image]

Regardless, I called and that was the information I was given. Either give it a try or not, or find some place else. The place now has good food and since I was never big on the barbacoa it is not something I would order before or now.

I was only trying to give accurate information and that I did.

If it had been patronized enough to stay in business it would still be there, and I love the change.

I'm packing my heels and a sequinned outfit. It's gonna be good!

Every Sunday morning at the Mercado Municipal in the big central open area near the butchers' section. Get there early. But if there isn't any left by the time my wife and I get there then I'm not going to share any more local info with y'all.:-o

Almost makes me wish I got up in the mornings. :)

That's sounds like our only choice for now.

We had dinner at a friend's house a few years ago. He had picked something up at the mercado. I think it was a very juicy pork dish with a chicharron on top. Does anyone know what that dish might be called? We'll look for that too.

Thank you for your replies, everyone!

There are two car washes on La Boquita, heading towards Comercial, past the church, on the left side, that have restaurants that sell Barbacoa on Sundays. Quite good!

Last year, after walking past it so many times thinking I should try it, went to Cabañita del Otero along La Boquita.
- barbacoa de borrego comes with consomme (rich soup with garbanzos and rice), 1/2 kg lamb, gorditas, plenty of blue corn tortillas for only $224 (and there were three of us). Very enjoyable meal, super nice people, in a backyard setting. Highly recommended.

I'm not a huge fan of barbacoa, but I'll miss the chiles en nogada at El Pueblito. As their sign used to say, they were "muy bueno."

Anyone know a good alternate source?
