Tzintzuntzan takes its name from the Purépecha word for "place of hummingbirds," also the name of a town and archaeological site in Michoacán, Mexico. The restaurant sits on West North Loop in Allandale, next door to Fonda San Miguel.
The menu draws on regional Mexican breakfast and lunch dishes, rounded out with baked goods from its own panadería, house-made ice cream, and a beverage program built to match. It operates as a brunchería, lonchería, and cafe — a more composed, upscale take on Mexican daytime cooking than a taco-stand format.
The room has developed a reputation for its design as much as its food, giving the brunch and lunch crowd a space built to linger in.
