In Oponguio, in a small native village on Patzcuaro Lake sits a little restaurant with a big Indian name: Uekapiani. It sits on a hill overlooking the lake with fabulous views. In the day time you can see the islands that dot the sea, with a variety of volacanic hillsides. At night, the lights of the towns of Quiroga and Patzcuaro sparkle in the distance. The food is absoutely delicious, for a price you can't beat! Not only is it tasty, but plentiful. A four course meal for two with 4 beers is about $25.00 usd. This includes an apetizer, soup, entree, all the home made tortillas you can eat, desert and, of course, beer.

The Mejia/Ruiz family that runs the restaurant are marvellous people. Gloria, who cooks and runs the show, has such a bright spirit and loves serving her food. This is truly an experience. Once you're full, and you've been served with love, you will sit for awhile and bask in the views that fulfill you completely. You will retrun, I have no doubt, as we have time and time again.
