Because the area is so small, it creates an intimate feeling. We tried 3 different tostadas (one with steak, other tuna and the other one was recommended by the waiter) we ate all of it and were almost licking the plate. Some of the options come as sandwiches as well that we did not get to try unfortunately. We absolutely recommend this to anyone, the drinks were just as delicious as well!

This was the fifth and final stop of the Tequila and Taco tour that Jamie W and I took in San…read moreMiguel de Allende. We ran the gamut of bars in Zona Centro, and this spot made a fitting finale since it was the most high-end spot we visited. Only a half-block from the social epicenter of Jardin Allende, it provides a nice view of the top of the parroquia from their rooftop terrace where we were seated (Photo 3). The restaurant definitely had a more refined ambiance than the previous four places. We could tell it was a popular spot among wealthy American expats because the ambient voices sounded more like Chicago than Mexico. No Spanish, just English. The cocktail was a tangy treat though, a Tamarind Margarita (Photo 8), and the Jicama Taco was a satisfying veggie ending to our evening (Photo 10).

There is a smoked cocktail on the menu where they use wood chips to provide smoke into the cocktail which would be cool except they use a butane hand torch to ignite the wood chips. When our waiter came to our table with this contraption I said in Spanish that using a butane hand torch for that is dangerous. He laughed- then proceeded to ignite the torch and send fully ignited wood chips all over my wife. The wood chips burned through her favorite dress all the way to her skin (see the attached pic and imagine how having a burning wood chip would feel against your skin). The waiter then apologized but then acted as if nothing happened. I'm a professional chef and you use butane hand torches to sear or caramelize products that won't fly away- like a steak or a creme brule. The reason is because the force of the butane flame is enough to send smaller things like wood chips flying. This is why when you go to legitimate and safe speakeasies, they use a smoke gun which heats up the chips without sending them flying. To add insult to injury when we asked for the check the waiter came back with the full bill and asked for a 15% tip. This is after severely burning my wife and destroying her favorite dress. So if you want the adventure of having your dress ruined and extra trip to the farmacia for burn cream, Bekeb is the place to go.

However, the staff didn't make us feel that way since they gave us the table with inarguably the best view of the city during the most photogenic time of the day, magic hour at sunset (Photo 3). How did we get so lucky since we made our reservation just the day before? And what better way to start than with a pair of MX$340 Carajillos, the Mexican version of espresso martinis (Photo 7). The use of Licor 43 lent a welcome sweet spiciness to the deep espresso and fit the moment perfectly. We were happy to receive a complimentary serving of warm Focaccia topped with a wedge of liver pate, olive oil, and chives (Photo 10). It was a nice surprise quickly devoured. Our first shared dish was the MX$365 Ensalada Luna, a hearty and enticing mix of greens, stracciatella cheese, speck ham, fresh peaches and figs, and quinoa in a citrus and vanilla vinaigrette (Photo 4). Our entree was the MX$406 Tacos de Lechon Rostizado, a trio of roasted suckling pig tacos with crispy skin cracklings, red onion, and fresh green salsa (Photo 5). The pork was fork tender. Nestled in a flour tortilla, the soft pulled meat stood in nice contrast to the crack of the skin. We went for a second drink, but this time a mocktail, the MX$195 Chilate, a refreshing alcohol-free blend of cacao, rice, cinnamon, and raw cane sugar in a coconut shell (Photo 6). While awaiting our dessert order, we were surprised by a complimentary Happy Anniversary dessert, a bit of a head-scratcher. We didn't say we were celebrating anything, but hey, we didn't complain. The sparkler was already lit and the staff was harmonizing. It was a chocolate ganache cake with blueberries atop puffed rice (Photo 8). That didn't stop us from enjoying the crispy-sweet MX$289 Churros with cinnamon ice cream and champurrado chocolate sauce (Photo 9), while entranced by the nighttime view (Photo 2).

For our starter we chose a great cheese platter and a poblano cheese bun that was a terrific surprise. Our mains were a perfectly cooked steak and ravioli with asparagus. Food is divided in to small, medium and large plates so you could enjoy tapas style if you chose to. We ended the evening with a rich but yummy brownie and an apparently Mexican-style sweet potato croquette that was sublime. The chef came up to check on us and informed us the croquettes were an experiment and will be on the menu come September! Excellent experience - the hotel staff of Hotel Amparo were extremely kind and Viridiana, our server, was knowledgeable, helpful and sweet. When the mosquitoes came out, they even brought us bug spray should we choose to use it! Great bar/cocktails, great kitchen. Love! As with many of the excellent restaurants in SMA, the prices are equivalent to any other great dining experience in San Miguel. Stop in for a cocktail, dinner or both - enjoy the serene rooftop and relax.

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).

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.
