We added a Modelo beer each and 1 smooth Mescal shot. Perfecto! We had no leftovers, as intended because we have no fridge in our hotel room. Service was excellent and the smallish restaurant, very pleasant. There was an English speaking waiter who helped our waiter as needed so we were able to communicate, easy. We will eat here again if we can before leaving SMA. There are a lot of excellent eating places near this one.

Full bar, cozy restaurant.

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 RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

The waiters were very helpful and the inside of the restaurant was very pretty. I ordered the lasagna but the waiter forgot to put the order in when it finally came out. I don't know. It just seemed like it had been microwaved. It was kinda hard and the sauce tasted like enchilada sauce, not tomato sauce. Which wasn't terrible just odd. People raved about this restaurant. I just thought it was OK. But the worst part was the live Peruvian music.

The service was friendly and timely. Their menu has an English translation. We ordered Aztec soup, Enmoladas compolllo, ( if I spell it correctly) and another Mexican specialty. The complimentary garlic bread was tasty. The dishes we ordered were also delicious. I am not that much familiar with Mexican cuisine, therefore, my rating may not be accurate. Overall, we enjoyed our visit.

We did not have food here but you can and I saw many who were eating lunch. We just wanted a rest and a view under the shade. Perfect spot. One downside though, because of where we were ( right in the heart of the tourist area) the beggars and people touting their goods was overwhelming. Especially to see children as young as three doing it. As long as you are ok with that, it's a great spot to sit and rest, out of the Afternoon sun. The people watching ... I could do it for hours. Loved it. They also have free WiFi. Prices... American prices .. that's what happens when you are in the middle of the tourist scene.
