Javier Barajas, the owner of Lindo Michoacan Restaurante, 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 the crack in this door, Javier developed a friendship with the Mother Superior.

Michoacan (pronounced mee-cho-ah-CAHN) is a state in central Mexico famous for its lakes, scenery, and exquisite food. The Spanish word lindo means pretty or beautiful.
Javier Barajas, the owner of Lindo Michoacan Restaurante, 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 the 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 everyday 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 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."
