Jamie W and I bookmarked this convivial spot because it showed up on online gay guides as a place…read moreto patronize in San Miguel de Allende. It's not a gay business per se but more a place that accommodates big groups of revelers. That wasn't such a bad thing because hey, they were offering 2-for-1 margaritas. How could we resist? We started with our first pair of MX$175 Classic Margaritas (Photo 8).
Quite a kick with a salty rim, and then we realized we had another one coming. We knew we better eat something, so we ordered a couple of salads to share to clear our conscience. First up was the MX$230 Ensalada Griega, a fresh Mediterranean-style combination of cucumber, tomato, red onion, bell pepper, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese drizzled with olive oil, oregano, and lemon (Photo 7).
The other salad was the MX$295 Ensalada Burrata, a sweeter, more Italianate salad with arugula, roasted pear, pistachios, and burrata dressed with olive oil and lemon (Photo). I liked this one more as I was swaying to the muzak. We were really getting into the warmed dinner rolls as our second round of margaritas arrived (Photo 6). Thoroughly sloshed, we saw our entree arrive.
It was pretty standard, the MX$295 Fajitas de Pollo, chicken fajitas with bell peppers, onion, black and refried beans, paprika, guacamole, and tortilla chips (Photo 10). You'd think we had enough, but our snockered state drove us to dessert, the MX$140 Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream (Photo 4) and the MX$100 Helados de la Casa, a triple scooper with marscarpone (Photo 5). Oh yes, we be done now.
FOOD - 4 stars...good stuff, salads better than the fajitas
COCKTAILS - 4 stars...potent libations
AMBIANCE - 4 stars...pretty cavernous in here
SERVICE - 3.5 stars...they came by quickly
TOTAL - 4 stars...felt inclusive enough, watch out for 2-for-1 specials
