Tarimoro is one of the 46 municipalities of the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The municipal seat is the city of Tarimoro.
The two main products that are produced in this municipality are peanuts and bricks. Tarimoro's peanuts are unlike those found anywhere else. They are very distinct, with a thin shell and a sweeter taste. The lands in and around Tarimoro are very fertile and are irrigated by a canal that runs off a local dam called "La Presa del Cubo".
Tarimoro's main areas within Tarimoro City itself are known as "El Barrio", "El Centro", and "La Loma". Other communities such as "El Aguacate" are within walking distance of Tarimoro.
Tarimoro holds annual festivities from 20 to 29 September in honour of its patron saint, Saint Michael the Archangel. The celebrations include a procession through the town centre featuring decorated floats with life-size religious figures.
