In a little over three hours with a knowledgeable expat guide, Jamie W and I got to patronize five locally popular establishments with a small group of fellow curious tourists. This was our first spot, a fresh seafood taqueria with a nice rooftop. That meant climbing up some awfully creaky steps. As the sun was setting, we started our evening with a delicious codfish taquito festooned with shredded cabbage, chopped tomato, and sour cream (Photo 3). The ideal coupling came with the crisp, honey-flavored Allende Agave Lager (Photo 2). It was already time for the next cantina. FOOD / BEER - 4 stars...the fish taco was quite fresh, the beer made a nice no-frills pairing AMBIANCE - 3.5 stars...the rooftop was a nice touch, the stairs not so much SERVICE - 4 stars...very stealth but efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...a nice start to our Tacos and Tequila evening RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

El Manantial was an interesting stop during our visit to San Miguel de Allende. As one of the…read moretown's oldest restaurant-bars--dating back to the 1920s--we were curious to give it a try. The menu features a variety of atypical seafood tacos and tostadas, including octopus and smoked fish, which immediately caught my attention. I ended up ordering the Pescado al Pastor taco, which turned out to be a great choice. The chopped fish was marinated in al pastor seasoning and topped with pineapple, onion, and cilantro, with a lime wedge on the side. The combination of flavors was vibrant and very tasty. We also tried the octopus, which was excellent. I'm a bit of a sucker for octopus when it's prepared well, and this one definitely delivered. The ceviche blanco tostada was another highlight--a generous pile of diced fish with tomato, onion, and lime juice that tasted incredibly fresh and bright. The hibiscus margaritas were delicious and refreshing, and I would highly recommend them--especially if you're planning to walk to the restaurant. The restaurant sits up a fairly steep climb from the Parque Benito Juárez area, so it can be a bit of a trek. Fortunately, we were dropped off and picked up by our driver. As for service, we had no issues at all. Our server was attentive and pleasant, though I do recognize that some other reviewers have mentioned inconsistent service. Our experience was positive, but it may vary depending on the day.

Once seated, service was friendly and helpful; the food was average, especially at the price and compared to other restaurants in town. The crab tostadas were fine but underwhelming and reminded me of the artificial crab salad I'd eat as a kid. The cochinita pibil was also fine but had some large pieces of fat and skin that were off-putting. My favorite items were the free bread in the mini cast iron skillet and the peachy cocktail special from the bar.

That is never a good sign. Another couple came up right behind us, scanned the menu, and bailed before ordering. The drinks were average at best and did nothing to fix the dead vibe. The safety glass also rises 8+ feet and basically ruins the church view, which is the whole reason you go up. One drink and we were out. Maybe it has its nights. A Saturday sunset is not one of them. 2 stars.
