I was curious as the the name of the restaurant "los alebrijos". The owner came outside and told us that there are hallucinogenic mushrooms in Mexico that give you visions of different types of colorful animals. The people then convert their images into paper mache figurines. This is a great place.

We had fantastic service from Rojo and Dulce- they were our new amigas by the end of the night. We had appetizers, entres, and desserts, along with cocktails and wine. Everything was great! We would definitely return and ask for Rojo and Dulce again. As far as some of the negative remarks about food coming out at different times, this is pretty standard in Mexico. I prefer to get my food when it is ready versus having it sit under a heat lamp until everyone else's is ready, too. That being said, we spend a lot of time in Mexico so I'm used to that, and we all usually share our food, too, so things get passed around. As far as fine dining goes in Mexico, this was great food with a fun atmosphere and a beautiful rooftop, where we even caught part of the fireworks show! I highly recommend Garufa!

We enjoyed one of the best Happy Hours in Mexico ever at the Bar, Lounge and Restaurant called…read moreGarufa. This place knows how to Happy Hour! This rooftop establishment with its incredible setup of indoor and outdoor rooftop settings. Plus, their combination of traditional Argentine, Italian and Mexican cuisines makes Garufa unique in all senses, gastronomical and tastiness and experientially. As you walk up the stairs one has no idea what to be expected. The moment you reach the top, the first thing that strikes you is the whiffs of various types of seasoned woods burning and the fabulous aroma of grilling meats throughout the restaurant and even more so in the outside rooftop area. Garufa's décor and styles are hard to describe as they are a mix of subtle modern, vegetations of various kinds placed about, yet spacious and open. The inside is more traditional, with mostly seating in groups of four, but outside the seating capacity ranges from small to large groups -making it a very familial and social environment. We started our adventure with the fabulous Garufa Margarita, Coctel de la Casa (Cocktail of the House) Mil Diablos (100 Devils), a fantastic sampling of Jamón y Queso that was astoundingly tasty and seemed as if freshly prepared. As we began to enjoy the initial stages of dusk, with the sun beginning to set over the open-air rooftop, we ordered our meals. Lomo al Vino Tinto, a gorgeous steak perfectly marinated in red wine, the Cowboy Ribeye con hueso (bone-in) was exquisite in its thick cut and grilled to perfection, the Lomo Argentino which turned out to be fabulous, the Churrasco Top Sirloin which blended a fab steak with a perfectly sumptuous Churrasco, and my wife's incredible Costilla Cargada (loaded) short rib corte delagado (thinly sliced) was to die for. As if really needed, some sides were ordered that turned out to be fabulous that included papas al horno, espinacas ala crema and a terrific Carpaccio de Res. I might mention that most Americans are used to our U.S. big box and corporate Churrasquerias or Steakhouses - don't expect that you'll have servers and carvers stripping meat of skewers with knives at your table - here you order your own specific entrée or meals... more in line to a steakhouse. This place is magnificent, from its décor, to the fabulous service, an incredible atmosphere, to the magnificent taste and quality of meat makes this a must stop while in San Miguel Allende. I have to say, their decision to call their restaurant is very apropos as Garufa means Fun! We're sure that's what you'll experience here. Buen provecho!

I had noticed this sandwich shop in the first few minutes I was in San Miguel de Allende because it…read morewas just down the street from our hotel. I bookmarked it mentally, but it wasn't until our last few minutes of our vacation that Jamie W and I finally tried it. We decided to pick up a couple of sandwiches to eat at the airport before our flight. Since it was a 90-minute drive to the airport, we figured the sandwiches would keep during the road trip. We were right. Fortunately, they opened just as we entered the shop at 9AM. The menu was not only in Spanish but quite robust. There was a multitude of selections, so we were on Google Translate for a while. Jamie decided on the MX$75 Torta Vegetariana, a meatless option with mushrooms, queso blanco, shredded lettuce, and avocado in a Talera bread roll (Photo 9). He was pleased with his choice and particularly impressed with the soft airiness of the toasted bread. As for me, I relied on Google AI to help me winnow down my selection to the MX$95 Torta Poblano. I understood the popularity because it contained chicken Milanesa (breaded chicken), melted queso fundido, chile poblano, lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, and cream. It was all encased in the same Talera bread roll and genuinely satisfying (Photo 7). We were lucky to find an open bench outside the terminal and devoured the tortas in no time. FOOD - 5 stars...tortas that really satisfied after a long road trip AMBIANCE - 4 stars...simple space that was obviously empty at 9AM SERVICE - 4.5 stars...really efficient, tortas were well packed TOTAL - 5 stars...could go for another one just about now RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?
