Los Colorines, Mexican restaurant in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
Los Colorines is a Mexican restaurant in Cuernavaca, the capital of the state of Morelos, serving regional dishes and recipes from different parts of the country. The menu covers familiar plates like mole, enchiladas, and grilled meats, all accompanied by tortillas made on site.
Cuernavaca developed over time as a place where traditional Mexican cooking was kept alive and passed on, and Los Colorines grew out of that context. The restaurant became part of why the city is seen as a food destination within the state of Morelos.
Los Colorines is known for serving dishes tied to the cooking of Morelos, a state with its own culinary identity separate from central Mexican traditions. Watching the cooks prepare tortillas by hand at the counter gives a clear sense of how the food is made.
The restaurant sits in central Cuernavaca and is easy to reach on foot from most of the city center. Lunch is the main meal of the day in Mexico, so coming midday gives you the full menu and a better sense of how the place runs at its busiest.
The salsas served here follow family recipes built around chili varieties grown in the Morelos region, and they are not sold or bottled for takeaway. They can only be tasted on site, which makes them a reason in themselves to visit.
