    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?

    I first ordered the charcuterie. It was pretty good fresh bread, mostly cheese and fruit a couple…read morepieces of meat. The cocktails were nice. 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.
