San Miguel Mexican Bar & Grill was great! Was there on a Friday night with a party of 4 and we…read morenabbed a reservation for 615pm. That may not have been completely necessary but it was busy and it never hurts to have one. The location of the restaurant may be tricky if you aren't familiar with Baldwinsville. There is a fairly spacious lot in the middle of The Bville diner, the dollar general and San Miguel for reference. And San Miguel itself from the parking lot goes down a ramp or stairs to the entrance of the restaurant. The restaurant itself stays true to the form of all the iterations that came before it, a good sized space with ample seating and in warmer weather there is some seating outside by the river. The booth we sat at had an unfortunate feature of being right under the heating and air conditioning and we were going from hot to cold depending on the heat going on and off. If you enter and go left and straight back to the corner, you may want to avoid that table until that can be adjusted. Most importantly the food and service were both incredible! Our server was fantastic and she took great care of us during a busy evening there. All the food was delicious and there were happy tummies all around. The jalapeno poppers were some of the best I've ever had. The main courses everyone either finished every bite or made sure to take the rest home. We all ordered our own dessert and again 4 happy sets of taste buds. If you can't tell what I'm getting at, it's that you won't be disappointed with whatever you get. Best Mexican ever, that's for you to decide, absolutely delicious, it definitely was. I highly recommend San Miguel and when you go, I of course, hope you enjoy!!

Kelly Metrick, her mother, Michaelene O'Connor, and restaurateur Saul Leon started San Miguel on…read morethe northside of Syracuse several years ago. The mother-daughter duo met Leon in their hometown of Waterloo. He had opened a Mexican restaurant there, and the food was so good that Metrick urged him to partner with them to open San Miguel. San Miguel quickly became popular, especially among young professionals and Syracuse University students, who would often rave about San Miguel's food, how it's all made in-house, right down to the chips and salsa you're served when you first sit down. The move to Baldwinsville had been in the works for months, and Metrick had hoped to keep open the downtown location. The restaurant at 425 N. State St., however, became part of a state-designated orange zone because of the coronavirus, so all indoor dining had to cease, and Metrick decided to close down and focus solely on the new location, which now occupies the former Muddy Waters Kitchen & Bar, on the banks of the Seneca River at 2 Oswego St. My wife and I were regulars at the original San Miguel on the northside from the time it first opened. Loved it every time we went and we recommended it to all our friends, so we knew we had to try the new location, especially since we live closer to the new location to the old. There's definitely a lot more space. The downtown restaurant seated 91 customers; the Baldwinsville location can accommodate 300, which includes outdoor seating with a waterfront view. The space is decorated nicely. We were sat right away. Chips & salsa immediately on the table as usual. My wife got an order of nachos while I went with the Godzilla Dilla. Everyone was delicious as usual, pricing was what I'd expected, service was fast and friendly. No difference in the quality of food from when they first opened, so we'll be back.

Friends invited my wife and I out to El Mezquite over the weekend, so we gave them a shot. First off, did not realize until we got there that the place in inside of a hotel, so that was an interesting discovery. We were sat immediately, given menus, had our order taken & food brought to us in a timely fashion. My wife ordered chile relleno while I ordered tacos de diablas - three tacos with steak, chorizo, and a spicy red sauce. Most of my party was happy with their food. Mine was fine, although the meat was a bit rubbery and the red sauce wasn't very spicy, but I suppose my problem with El Mezquite is the same as most of the Mexican restaurants in the same area - I'm convinced they all just order the exact same stuff from the same place. El Mezquite's menu is the exact same as most other Mexican restaurants in the area, same offerings, even the rice tastes exactly the same in all these places, so I'm becoming less and less convinced there's any authenticity for most of the places in CNY. That said, the food was fine, our service was fine as well, but I don't believe we'd return for the simple fact that we can find the exact same dishes at other, closer establishments.

The only thing keeping this from being a 5 - star review was FOX NEWS on the TV Its not the vibe for a calm lunch.

Guys, the tortillas that come with the huevos are served wrapped in foil because they are supposed to be heated before they are served, mine were nice and cold, sticking together. Chile relleno was not relleno, it was just a poblano pepper swimming with some cheese on top and lots of a sauce that was a bit too sweet. Service was fine and ambience is casual Mexican.

Last summer, the dining room was so hot that people took their dishes outdoor to the picnic tables to eat. Tres Primos has good food and lots of it so it's often very crowded at dinner time. We were fortunate to have come for an early dinner and were the only diners on a snowy day. Service is with a smile and the people that work here seem to enjoy each other's company and enjoy serving customers. The tables and chairs are the best, colorful with beautiful depictions of Mexico. For whatever you order, be prepared to have it served on a platter that's fit for a king, or in my case queen. Food is good and fresh. There is plenty to drink, including a variety of beers and cocktails . There's nothing like drinking a corona to top off a Mexican meal. I ordered what is really a sampler plate with a little bit of everything. I had a Chalupa, a quesadilla, tacos, and a member of other things. Of course, this comes complete with rice and beans. Needless to say, I had a second meal with the leftovers the following night. P.S., they have very good salsa that is served as soon as you were seated with your chips. Don't be afraid to ask for a refill.

It was a pleasure to have met them both. I am unsure how I have survived this long without dining at Tres Primos. However, now that I have I'm sure I won't be able to stay away. *New hours are Tuesday - Sunday from 12-9 pm *

Third, make sure that you fix the order. Finally, make it up to the patron for having to make a second trip to the restaurant. (This is for pick up orders, specifically). My pick up order was supposed to be ready at 6:45, but I sat there until 7:00 waiting. Then when I got home, I found that we were missing two entrees. The phone number on the website went straight to a busy signal, so leaving my family to eat, I drove back and informed the restaurant of the issue. They handed me one of the entrees in about 10 minutes, but after waiting a while longer, I found the server to ask about the other one, and had to argue with him and the cook that what I ordered and paid for wasn't in the bag. Finally they agreed to fix it and handed me what they insisted were two beef chalupas. Guess what- the picture above is what they handed me. It's soggy corn tortillas with beans, sour cream, lettuce and tomato. Definitely not worth the $15 they charged. Most of the food that we got was tasty. Not amazing, but not terrible. But not worth the $120 for dinner, either. If they had apologized, gotten the food right the second time, and done anything at all to make it worth my while to make a second trip for food I'd already paid for i would have much better things to say. As it is, I'm just disappointed. Go here or not, I guess. But maybe double check your order before you walk out.
