I would recommend this place to anyone living in the Fairbanks area. I got "The Boss" burrito and it was one of the best burritos I have ever had. read more

Had the gringo tacos, which are pretty good! I'd skip the side of rice, however, I felt it was really bland. The pico de gallo was fresh and tasty, and the chips and salsa weren't bad. I enjoyed my margarita on the rocks, albeit a tad too sweet. We tried the churros and xanga for dessert. The churros were rock hard, stale. The xanga was really sweet, but not bad! I'd go just for the gringo tacos, skip the rest, and be happy. read more

Horrible no shit I think they got chicken from a can from SAMs club Asked if everything ok I said way to salty she said other then that how are things then left. Last time I ever eat here and I will tell everyone I know read more

In general, it was "literally ok". I mean, it's pretty decent Mexican food. I ate it and enjoyed it, so there is nothing to complain about. Except my water was never refilled even though I slathered chipotle sauce over my fajita and was basically left to die at my table. Other than RIP me, it gets a standard "literally basic Mexican food ok" rating from me. read more

Love ordering chicken flauta and asada tacos here; margeritas are the bomb=). Ala Carte items are the best!

Over priced, dried out food. There was no flavor in the beans or salsa. You also have to pay extra for chips and salsa. I ordered the halibut taco and flourta. No flavor, chick was dry and halibut dry as well. I do not recommend wasting your money here. read more

We had just arrived into Fairbanks from Denali. It was 20 minutes past closing, but the owner could not have been nicer. Seeing our party of 8 tired from the late drive, he asked the kitchen and staff to go ahead and serve us. In addition, because most of us were vegetarians, he personally oversaw all the orders taken by his waitress and made sure she wrote them down right. And luckily, margaritas are vegetarian because they were good! The food was also delicious. Even the one non-veg in our party really enjoyed the fish tacos. They do charge for chips and salsa, even just the salsa by itself, which I found nowhere else to be true in Alaska. One of these days, I'll be back to see the northern lights and I'll definitely be back at Miguels. read more

upon walking in I was a bit confused as their special sign had enchiladas & turkey & swiss sandwich? I thought this was a Mexican restaurant... I was getting really worried cause of the bad reviews... but my girlfriend lives here and says they come here all the time w/ her work friends so I ignored the reviews and went along. I ordered the taco el pastor and my daughter ordered the burrito w/ shredded chicken. I was waiting for some complimentary chips & salsa but it never came! lol but our food did come, I was pleasantly surprised that it was actually not bad. the only thing that bothered me was that I could smell the smoke coming from the adjoining bar. yuck. but I would go back again for their Mexican food. read more

I am sad to say, this is by far the worst place I have eaten at, since moving to Fairbanks. The chips were hard and tasted like a cheap, stale chip you get from a store and the salsas were bland. I was highly disappointed in the queso, it is by far the worst I have ever had at a restaurant. Even my four year old, who loves cheese dip (almost an addiction), wouldn't even eat it. My quesadilla was decent and my son's burger was just that, a child's plain burger. However, I will not be returning. I couldn't believe that the restaurant had half of their seats full. I do not like to be a pessimist, but do not waste your money here. Save yourself the trouble and money, and go to Gallo's or Taco King even. read more

5 stars for being the best Mexican restaurant in Fairbanks. Fast and decent servers make this place a steady date. Burritos, chimis, and drinks are good bets. I usually partake in the special as well. read more

Good print service at the bar. Shrimp taco was amazing and they have an excellent tequila selection. Ill be coming here again.

Actually hot salsa, love that. The cook comes out to ask if ur doin alright every time I've been. Food is alright, I'll stop if I'm closest to there. somethin is missing, haven't pinned it down, but I will eat there again for sure. A little spendy tho read more

For Fairbanks, this is certainly good Mexican food. It's more of American-Mexican fusion, but the food and service was great nonetheless. If you're looking for a place to hang out casually and have a decent meal, this is the place. read more

It was really great. I was pleasantly surprised how quickly our food came because most places in Fairbanks can be pretty slow. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. The guacamole dip was good. I also ordered fajita quesadillas and a halibut taco a la carte. Both were good. My friend ordered steak fajitas and said the rice was fantastic. Fried cheesecake was great. Would go back again. read more

I was skeptical at first. Walked in and didn't expect much but glad we stopped by. Great service and food was good. I had the chicken burrito with mole sauce which was pretty tasty. We are staying at the Princess Lodge in town and this is a great alternative for the boring food at the Lodge (only a $12 Uber ride). read more

Always good. Favorite halibut taco. Wish guac was fresh avocados. Other than that they pour a good drink and service is both friendly and efficient. Owner very accommodating. read more

Not too fond of the mole sauce but awesome queso and the best pork in town. Definitely worth trying out!

Best Mexican in Fairbanks! Large portions and somewhat decent prices, now when I say "best Mexican in Fairbanks" it should almost have an asterisk next to it because being the best when everything else sucks isn't saying much but this place really is good. It gets 5 stars because of the location. Probably a 4 star in the lower 48 read more

Food was ok, i ordered the three tacos combo that came with refrained beans and rice. Chips were old and hard maybe stale. Salsa just plain sucked. The sign outside says authentic Mexican cuisine. The diet Coke was great! The service was fast and friendly. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants here in Fairbanks. I have always had great experiences and service from them. I highly recommend it. read more

Having lived in Mexico, the delicious food at Miguel's is the most authentic Mexican food I have had in the U.S. I highly recommend their restaurant. read more

Had not been here for years but when I did the food was really good and the service was friendly. So we went back again. The lady at the register literally ignored us for 10 minutes while we stared at her so we left. Miguel, you are not doing your business any favors with staff like this. We probably will be back in 6 months hoping this lady is gone read more

Best Mexican food in Fairbanks. Wait staff are awesome. Great quality authentic food. The go to place.

Good Mexican restaurant. Clean, good service, good value. Doesn't look like much, but its pretty good. Far better than the Silver Gulch Brewing and Bottling Co. read more

I've been to Miguel's and as I am called Gallo by all of my Latino friends and have loved authentic Mexican food, I thought you could do just as well or better if you ate at Taco Bell. A chili relleno is not what they serve its a chili pontabo which is not the same. Salsa comes from a jar. And we'll not go back there as it was bland to me. read more

Best Mexican food in town by far and they are super pleasant to our family and love their margaritas!

We were a bit concerned when we entered Miquels on a Saturday night and saw only one table occupied but we were determined to give them a shot. We started with the cheese dip which was basically a Velveeta type sauce that wasn't too great. We snacked at it, alternating between the dip and the salsa which was equally not the greatest we'd ever had. But when our meals came, everything changed. My Chimichanga with the optional mole sauce on it was excellent. It was stuffed with ground beef and cheese and topped with lettuce, a red spicy sauce (the mole) and good amounts of sour cream and guacamole. My partner got the Pastor tacos and thought the meat was a bit tough. When I tried them, the taste was good but the meat was indeed tough from what appeared to be from the meat being quite a bit dried out. The flavor was good but could've been a bit juicier. The lots of cilantro helped but Miquels needs to work on their sauces (guacamole which was bland and practically tasteless, a real cheese dip and learning that salsa is more than tomatoes and onions). But don't get me wrong, we liked them more than the more popular Mexican restaurant in town. read more

I love their taco el pastor!!! The best in town a little pricey but worth it. I have sat in the bar area and in the dining area, both are very accommodating and friendly. Thank you Miguel great job!! read more

I love this place! It's the only place I go for Mexican in town, service is always great, food is always delicious. We eat here at least once a week! read more

I have eaten here weekly for the past 7 months. They have a wonderful fish taco and taco Al Pastor. I went in last week before a hockey game and ordered the usual. I got a pork taco instead of my Al Pastor. The waitress continually argue with me and tell me what I received was in fact a taco Al Pastor when it was not. She was the most rude waitress I've ever had anywhere and instead of trying to make it right she just wanted to argue. She had been working there 2 days and said she knew the menu and I did not. I will never go back there again!!!!! read more

This is the best Mexican resturant in Fairbanks and one if not the cheapest, the ribs are one of my favorites but get there early for these as they only cook a small amount every day and when there gone that's it, my wife and I also like the taco el pastor, but there is more on the menu that we like, not as fancy as some resturants in town but the food is good. read more

Miguel has been in Fairbanks for well over 30 some years. He has been a chef for other restaurants but, since moving to his own location our family has frequented his restaurant many many times. We have enjoyed his service, food and time and will continue to do so. you can't go wrong with this restaurant read more

came here with my family. everyone liked their meals and service was good. what more can you ask for. worth stopping by and prices for alaska were reasonable as well. read more
