    Baja California and the Soy Chorizo
    Kareem G.

    I had no idea this was a vegan restaurant when we walked in--but we were open to trying something new, and honestly, we were starving! We kicked things off with the guacamole, which seemed like a must. Along with that, we ordered drinks: I went with the lemongrass, my wife had the Jamaica mezcal margarita, and my son kept it simple with a Jamaica. For our entrees, we asked for recommendations, and the chicharrón-style taco was the first to arrive. Funny enough, we didn't even plan to have a full meal here--just some guac and drinks before heading elsewhere. But after that first bite, we all ended up ordering our own tacos: chicharrón, baja, and spicy chorizo. Pro tip: Get the chicharrón taco with lime and guacamole--it might be the best taco I've had in a long time. The corn tortilla alone has great flavor. Between the attentive service, quality ingredients, and surprisingly satisfying vegan flavors, we'll definitely be back--soon.

    Authentic Mexican food but vegan. Impressive vegan menu and so good ! We ordered the pastor and norteño tacos. Also the quesabirria tacos. Aguachiles. And 2 drinks. And pumpkin pie. So good and great service. I'd come here everyday !

    We came here while visiting San Miguel de Allende because it's all vegan. When we arrived, we were asked if we had a reservation, but when another party did not show after about five minutes, we were seated. It's a little small inside with a few tables and a bar area, so I understand that maybe at times one will need a reservation. Once seated, we were quickly attended and they automatically bring you chips and salsas to snack on while waiting for the main food. We ordered the Nachilos to start; one Chicharito, one Baja Colifornia, one Pastor, and one Bigotes taco; one infusión de jamaica and one Armadillo cocktail. The food and drinks came out fast and tasted great. The Armadillo cocktail drink was very fancy- they smoke the glass by burning the rosemary! The service was amazing. This place has great ambiance (I came on a Wednesday at 6 ish pm). Apparently, the owner of this place also has another vegan restaurant (La Cabra Iluminada) that I hope to try soon. Overall, this place is a great vegan gem and I hope to return!

    The restaurant was very cozy and welcoming, with lots of positive energy. Danny and Gerrardo were amazing--top-notch service, very friendly, and vibrant. We really enjoyed the salsa, food, and drinks. A great place to eat; highly recommended!

    Tostadas de ceviche, tetelas, verduras encacuatadas, all amazing! The flavors they coax out of vegetables, herbs and other plant based ingredients are truly remarkable. I'm not a vegan and usually gravitate to some meat based dish, but was wholly satisfied. If you like artisan beers, the Super Lupe IPA by Hercules really was Super true to its name! The service was excellent, personalized and very friendly. Even got recommendations for other places to try on our trip. Five stars all the way!

    Don Tacos has incredible food, made with thought and love- which also happens to be vegan. During our 4 day visit to San Miguel de Allende, my boyfriend and I ate here three times, and enjoyed every time better than the last. Angel (who felt like a friend we've known for years) was our waiter, and made us feel so taken care of and walked us through the menu- making recommendations based on our food preferences. Angel even gave us other restaurant recommendations including La Cabra Illuminada (which was fantastic!), and a link to the playlist they play at Don Tacos which we mentioned how much we enjoyed. I highly recommend the guacamole, chicharrito taco and tamale.. 10/10. Don Tacos & Tequila and Angel truly made our time in San Miguel so memorable and allowed me to have that authentic Mexician cuisine experience, minus the dairy and meat. Their food was so delicious, that after our first meal there, my now-fiancé proposed! Was our meal a deciding factor? We'll never know, but I don't think it's a coincidence.

    corn nib
    Jack D.

    If you're desperate for steak tacos don't come here. It's Vegan. It's hip vegan. It's edgy tattooed cool staff vegan place that is American ex-pats who are more hungry than cool. The sauces are strong and a brilliant margarita. This place I'm told didn't begin making money until it dropped the carne and made itself different. It's carb vegan bomb dishes. Fun and funky but small. The corn nib dish was like eating a fish with bones - in a good way. It might burn some raw tongues but not others.

    The drink we had so so good!
    Dawn G.

    This place is a must! Great service, awesome drinks, and the best guacamole! The staff really know their stuff this was our favorite stop in San Miguel!

    champiñón taco and cauliflower taco
    Kim H.

    Amazing vegan choices. Nice quiet ambience. Especially loved the champiñón taco. The cauliflower taco was a bit disappointing. I can't remember my partners dish, but he loved it. Overall highly recommend.

    I kind of stumbled across this place because I was hungry and didn't have a lot of time…read more I sat at the bar and the bartender was super helpful. First, he brought out a very big bowl of tortilla chips. They were excellent as was the accompanying pico de gallo. I had the chicken street tacos, which were also terrific. There was live music starting right as I left. That's not my thing, but if it's your thing you might like it.

    Even though there are hundreds of YouTube vlogs of varying quality about San Miguel de Allende,…read morechef Pati Jinich was the one that triggered my interest in coming here through her long-running PBS travel and cooking series. She went to this particular traditional restaurant known for their signature dish, Molcajete. The term first refers to a Mexican mortar bowl made of basalt volcanic rock standing on three stubby legs. The same term also refers to the food inside. It's quite simple because it's all about the ingredients and the execution. Jamie W and I ordered the MX$550 Mix Volcanic Bowl where they grilled large amounts of arrachera (skirt steak), chicken, and cecina (cured beef) while heating up the molcajete. The meat was then layered in the bowl along with nopales (cactus), green onion, chiles, peppers, and queso blanco cheese. A spicy green chile verde sauce was drizzled all over the gluttonous mix (Photo 7). Fresh guacamole and creamy refried beans were served on the side (Photo 4). A stack of freshly made tortillas was provided in order to gorge on all of the hearty indulgence which continues to stream well after its arrival at the table. The total amount could've easily served four ravenous people with both the arrachera and nopales the delectable standouts. Out of blissful ignorance, we both ordered salads as if the volcanic bowl wasn't going to satisfy us. Jamie had the MX$135 Mixed Salad with lettuce, grape tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, pasilla chiles, mushrooms, and a rosette of avocado slices (Photo 8). I went with the MX$200 House Salad with lettuce, hearts of palm, cubes of chihuahua cheese, green olives, grape tomatoes, and red onion (Photo 9). Both were more than freshly satisfying as we were filling up on housemade tortilla chips with red salsa and fresh pico de gallo (Photo 5). The space was cavernous with plenty of room for large parties as families converged on this place. We could totally envision live music performances in here, especially with a long, fully stocked bar beckoning. Although I've seen mocajetes on random Mexican menus around San Francisco, I agree with Pati that this type of place would be quite successful stateside. If you're planning a trip to San Miguel de Allende, I recommend following Pati's advice. FOOD - 5 stars...a deliciously eruptive volcanic bowl AMBIANCE - 4.5 stars...huge space, plenty of room during off-peak hours SERVICE - 4.5 stars...efficient and quite accommodating TOTAL - 5 stars...trust Pati on this one RELATED - Exploring San Miguel de Allende?

From our third stop, Le Pegaso (review: https://yelp.to/rmPAJsgLVf), we had to cross the cobblestone streets around the central plaza, Jardin Allende. Normally an uneventful stroll, it felt more precarious after three bar stops. We made it without injury though. This spot was a spacious, more traditional restaurant with two bars in front. Our group was seated around a dining table. I noticed our Tequila Paloma was a bit skimpier this time (Photo 7), perhaps an acknowledgement that we were tapering off our alcoholic consumption. However, we ended up with the evening's best plate, a pair of Emmoladas, an enchilada-like house specialty filled with shredded chicken and covered liberally in a savory-sweet dark chocolate mole sauce (Photo 8). I would definitely have that again.

This obscure place from outside, when you walk in becomes what appears to be a Hacienda along with a patio, Terraza and balconies all around and cantina where you walk in! Not only was this place beautiful in the most traditional of Mexican styles, with tiled and wrought iron stairs to upper balconies, built in shelves and niches withing stone, wallpapered and muralled walls, a typical bar inlaid with the structure with magnificent woodwork and an excellent bartender I might add, clay flower pots galore hanging from the balcony flooring, and an incredible full skylight, wall to wall, but that's not the best of it. The food. The food was magnificent. I have had many a meal in Mexico, I have tried many, many styles of regional cuisine, but I had never ever had the specialty of this house - the Enmolada! The unique specialty of the house at La Cocina Café del Viajero are Enmoladas which are a dish consisting of tortillas in mole sauce... stuffed with fillings of almost any inkling! Enmoladas are a established indigenous dish made with corn tortillas that is coated in mole sauce. This is what I had to have. First let me mention that the food here is incredible, overall. We obviously started with bottled water, a couple of okay Margaritas and some Modelos. As is the custom, we had the Guacamole, which was extraordinarily excellent, with homemade chips, really, really good chips. Someone at the table ordered the Enchilada Capital with Mexican rice - extraordinary and very picoso! To make a long story short, my order of the Enmolada was exquisite. Most folk like me, were only familiar with enchilada sauce, but Enmolada sauce is unique. The enchiladas are smothered in mole sauce, offering a exceptional merge of flavors that stretch from spicy and sweet to savory and smoky. Totally overwhelming the palate, as your tastebuds go in a freefall. They compacted shredded chicken, then rolled it, then garnished it with fresh toppings of crema and cheese. Wow! Needless to say, this was an experience! An exquisite location, excellent service, terrific atmosphere and one of the most life changing taste adventures I had in Mexico. Try an Enmolada, maybe here, it's terrific.

Staffed by three buddies who have all worked in high end restaurants (here in San Miguel as well as the US and Europe), this tiny establishment doesn't even have a sign outside (just take down the address and you'll see a sign that says "Hotel" by the door. Enter and ascend a flight of stairs and it'll be on your right. The meal begins with chips and a warm black bean dip (made with exotic ingredients they'd needed to pick up the previous day in something that sounded like a drug deal!). Next order the mushroom soup--a highlight of our 7 day trip to San Miguel. We also shared an order of guacamole (excellent as you'd expect, with thick chunky chips), and an order of Requeson (never heard of that, but turned out to be a cheese log with spicy/tangy flavor, served with hot corn tortillas). For mains, we had the torts de lingua (delicious if you're not weirded out by beef tongue), duck floutas, and the pork dish (Costilla en Abodo Oaxaqueno), which had excellent flavor but was a battle (large bone in the middle so difficult to eat). They've only been open for a few months and they have a few kinks to work out--the menu is not organized in a logical way (green salad and mushroom soup appear at the end rather than first). Meals did not all arrive together, but to be fair we were a large party (8), and ordered multiple items per person. They also need to update their Google entry, which failed to note that they're closed on Tuesdays. And as noted before, having a sign would be helpful. Remember to BYOB because they don't serve alcohol, but in the end that's yet another thing that makes this place an incredible bargain! We managed to eat VERY well for less than $16 per person. Just wish we'd discovered it sooner because we would've returned if we had time. Maybe for breakfast, which I hear is also fantastic.

The menu has an English and Spanish version, but it is kinda limited. Still there are some really interesting dishes like the fusion Tandoori Chicken Tacos in flour tortillas, which I got. The Miso soup does have a lot of seaweed in it, so just be aware of that. And then there was the burger; so juicy and delicious served with seasoned wedge potato's. And to end the meal you get a small dish with complimentary mini cookies. It was a great experience. I highly recommend.
