First thing to note: Yelp lists this place as being in Guanajuato, GTO, but it's actually in San Miguel de Allende. I like this place. A nice rooftop tapas kind of place with nice views. We really like the pizzas. They're tiny, and just the right amount to split between two people. The honey and caramelized onion version is great, as is the pear with blue cheese. Reasonably priced, given the great location and general high priced town. I don't drink alcohol, so I can't speak about the drinks. read more

Our first day in San Miguel and my wife and I decided to give Pueblo Viejo a try. The food was very good but it really lacked seasoning. Or maybe my plate did. My wife got the Arrachera and I did the Mole with chicken. The server was a bit rude or might just have been having a bad day. Who knows. The place is nice with great music. read more

A beautiful rooftop small plate and cocktail bar! Just off the beaten path of San Miguel's city center, super walkable to everything. My friends and I absolutely loved watching the sunset from up here! It's also got some solid walls around it, too, so it doesn't get super windy like some other rooftops around town. The drinks were amazing, lots of classic Mexican options. The food!!! Amazing and perfect for sharing. The fried octopus and jicama tacos were highlights for sure. I will definitely come back here next time I'm in San Miguel! read more

Pueblo Viejo translates to (old town) this centrally located restaurant is more than what the eye meets. We were greeted and seated inside for dinner. Queso Fundido: 4/5 bites you're in for a treat with this dish as it's a Flaming Cheese dip prepared table side with shot of tequila! Bravo. we added chorizo. Posole: 4/5 slurps, solid posole dish. the broth was loaded with flavor, beef and hominy. I was hesitant on ordering but pleasantly surprised by the tasty flavorful soup. came with all the fixings on the side. Chips and salsa were good. Skirt steak: 10/10 bites, this steak was tender, juicy, and tasty, paired with Enchiladas suizas and enmoladas, and a side of refried beans and guacamole in a mini tostada. Steak fajitas: were good served in a sizzling skillet with onions, peppers, corn and mushrooms, topped with a mini tostada of refried beans and guacamole. Jamaica (Hibiscus water): 0/5 sips this was just water no hibiscus. (we asked the sever for a replacement beverage as the Jamaica didn't have any flavor it tasted like plain water. Note: we were still charged for this beverage even though it was not made properly and we brought it to our servers attention just after tasting it. Still came up on the bill. he refused to take it off, which was strange since no one drank it. (would be a great experience without this interaction) Service was great except when we asked for the bill and the server refused to remove the un-drunk beverage. The food was great and attentive service. food was fresh and a reasonable wait. read more

Food is delicious, especially the guacamole. Service is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Solid restaurant..downstairs seating with its own menu, and rooftop seating(not much of a view tho)with its own menu. If you are rooftop you must try the Hickima shrimp tacos...one of the best tacos we've ever had. Great Margaritas including a tamarind one. Service is excellent, with English spoken. read more

We had a wonderful light dinner here on our last night. The restaurant is very nice and the staff great. They have music nightly which we enjoyed. We met someone on the street who recommended the melted cheese. We got it and it was fantastic. It went well with homemade tortillas. We split a bowl of azteca soup which is similar to a tortilla soup. It was very good. We are glad we stopped for dinner. read more

Good food and service. The location is very central. The pear and goat cheese salad was delicious and a big portion. The server was nice and split it for us without asking when we indicated we were sharing it as an appetizer. We both had chicken fajitas and the portion is big, just what we wanted! I had corn tortillas (they brought me 10 !!) and my husband had flour. The food is good and well priced. Quick friendly service. read more

Pueblo Viejo is one of those fancier restaurants that are pretty much a tourist spot, at least they are serving up some pretty good drinks and food, service was ok and the ambiance is nice, not that I care but some do. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=kH5Ol9pSv0FpK4wTIAZOLw https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=r-IuDJQU01zWTOY1mu8wnA Bread, Chips & Salsa https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=NVBeOYVBw74LLlcadBoEhg Much of this evening was a bit of a blur https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=50gk9lO25Xx5aMzMEoDmUg Crema Chile Pasilla https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=-lfmXJ-09zeu7WjZAAStsw Creamy and flavorful, a fantastic soup Fajitas de Arrachera https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pueblo-viejo-guanajuato?select=X6UVje39kF4K_iA10f7TlA Strips of grilled Arrachera Beef, slices of Chile Poblano Y Onion, Corn, Mushrooms, Guacamole Y Frijoles.

If there's once you dish you try - please let it be the a los quatros quesos. The rich flavors of the cheese still have such a fond flavor in my recollection! I came with a party of 3 after having drinks and a first course at a nearby rooftop and it was the perfect place to wrap up the night. We caught the live band for a song (I think they ended around 10pm) and then headed upstairs for drinks and dessert. Very memorable! We really enjoyed it. The service was really wonderful and hospitable, as well. I'm not local, but the next time I make it to San Miguel, I would come back for it. read more

Best pozole we've ever had! Incredibly delicious meals and highest quality ingredients. Also they serve outstanding mezcal cocktails both in the restaurant downstairs and on the rooftop (I recommend eating downstairs and do drinks on the terrace as they have different menus). They also casually played live music on a regular Thursday and the band blew our minds! They were playing some kind of indigenous songs. Very exotic and authentic experience. Highly recommend! read more

My family and I just dined here yesterday and were very disappointed. Staff needs to be retrained, they do not care for customer service. I was asking questions about the menu and our server seemed annoyed and walked away mid-sentence. We also noticed a food runner went to the restroom with his apron on, that apron should've been removed prior to entering the restroom, that is absolutely disgusting! Luckily, he did not handle our food. Our server neglected us most of the time then we had to wait till we could get his attention for the check. The cherry on top of this awful experience was that when we left him a low top amount for all the terrible we experienced, he dared ask for more and stated that we barely left him 10%! He's lucky we left anything at all. He asked for more tip and we just walked away!!!! STAY AWAY from THIS RESTAURANT!!! The food is subpar, the service is terrible and the music is too loud. Try a taco stand near the plaza instead. read more

Food was average. Service was good. Atmosphere was good. There was a band. Close to main Jardine.

Right heart in the center of San Miguel de Allende near El Jardin & the church. We came here for lunch one day and the place was packed with diners. Mostly tourists for sure. The decor is Spanish colonial style and it's very very pretty. The atmosphere electric with waiters bustling from table to table. It's lovely in here but the food was average. It was fine for lunch. The menu has both an English & Spanish section and the staff are mainly bilingual. We had the jicama tacos & they were very good. The place definitely has the touristy vibe. It's not a place I would come for dinner because there are so many better options in the town but as I say it was fine for lunch. read more

The waiter took the liberty to stand over our table, count the money left for tip and then demand more despite us leaving 12% for the mediocre/sarcastic service. Some people in the group were intimidated and gave an additional 40 pesos which he pushed back and said "No Thanks, God bless" Super unprofessional and embarrassing. read more

First time in San Miguel Allende. Confused this place for La Azotea which is upstairs. The food was ok and the margarita was really good. The wait staff rudely brought up tipping at the end of the meal. Totally ruined my impression of this restaurant. If you want a good tip and have to ask for it, you must be doing something wrong. Will not be coming back here again. Did not leave the generous tip I would have left as a result of the bad attitude. read more

Charming restaurant just steps away from the main square. Lots of potential here. The staff are friendly and attentive and the menu provides an attractive array of choices in each category. Unfortunately they need to upgrade the quality of their ingredients and if they do so, this could be a winner. For apetizers they served chips and tasty salso and sliced bolegos (bread).. good start. We had a green salad, a bit on the wilty side... they forgot to add dressing then all they had to offer was separate oil and vinegar bottles. The cream corn soup was was quite good. We ordered the grilled tenderloin steak that was not seasoned at all, bland to the taste and quite chewy. We sent that back in favor of the chicken fajitas. While pretty good, it still wasnt up to local standards. I ordered the Rib Eye Steak with nopolo, grilled peppers and french fries. While the steak was cooked perfectly, it was as bland a piece of meat I have ever had. I had to ask for salt to try and give it some flavor. They advertise the serve USDA Choice meat, but clearly this is not the case. Truth be told, i should have sent this back too. Going for them is location, ambience, and a well rounded menu. If they can only work with more quality ingredients, this place could be on fire. read more

As a Mexican food connoisseur for many years, I appreciate traditional, regional Mexican food. After eating at hundreds, if not thousands of Mexican restaurants in my life, this place wins hands-down. The traditional mission-type building and decor, the warm yet not over the top service, and the food--the dishes were traditional, yet creative and the tastes were like none other I've ever experienced. I could see a return trip to San Miguel from the US, if nothing more than to dine here again! read more

Pueblo Viejo - Dark Bohemia. - Mexican Near Me - Guanajuato, GUA

We've been coming to San Miguel for many years and have enjoyed many of the finer restaurants in town but last night's dinner at Pueblo Viejo was a truly exceptional experience. The ambience is beautiful with traditional high stone walls, arches and large columns and "pueblo" decor. We ordered the grilled salmon, steak fajitas and shrimp fajitas - all perfectly prepared and delicious. The service is attentive but not pressing. Best of all, and that's saying a lot, was the live music. A four member band played traditional Mexican instrumentals and songs with acoustic guitar, flute, various percussion, and a ten string ukelele - absolutely lovely. They play on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 8 pm, sometimes also on Thursday. It's located on Umaran adjacent to the Allende Museum, just steps from the jardin. There is also a rooftop terrace. An unforgettable evening - highly recommended. read more

We were very impressed with our first visit when we stopped for lunch. We had the beef molcajete which was served with warm tortillas. Service was excellent and we enjoyed the food and margaritas. The restaurant was packed. We went back a few days later for dinner, there were only 2 other couples there. We ordered two forms of beef tacos. Big mistake. We were gagging on the beef and didn't eat much. Because they served good margaritas we went back again and went up to the rooftop bar. Excellent! The views were amazing. We stuck with simple food like guacamole/chips and pepperoni flatbread and were very happy with it. read more

What a disappointment especially with so many positive reviews. I ordered the pear and goat cheese salad based on other's reviews and it really wasn't good at all. The pears were sautéed, the pecans were candied, the goat cheese was grainy and the balsamic reduction was watery and super sweet with very little acidity so there was this overwhelmingly cloying sweetness. The Grilled Steak Molcajete was an absolute disaster. Rubbery steak submerged in tomatillo salsa, cold fajitas and a sad rib eye, rubbery, flavorless and unappealing. Service was great, the ambiance is lovely, drinks were good but the food was not acceptable. Feels like a tourist trap. The worst dining experience we had in SMA which is hard to accomplish in this culinary hotspot. read more

This was one of the best dining experiences my wife and I had anywhere at any price. We were told by someone from San Miguel de Allende that Pueblo Viejo was good, but we really were not prepared for how good it was. Rigel met us when we came in and made us feel right at home from the start. He was wonderful and his attentive staff were five star worthy anywhere. They quietly and efficiently took care of the business of the table throughout the meal under the careful attention of Rigel throughout. Initially, we fumbled with the Mexican menu only to have Rigel playfully show that the reverse is in English. There are so many things on the menu, the English version was welcome. We began to order with confidence, but when we began to ask questions, Rigel was quick to offer professional suggestions with care and on the side of adventure. We quickly surrendered all of the ordering to Rigel. We are so glad we did. Rogues also made several wine suggestions. I chose a local Mexican red (tinto) that was excellent! We started with the Jicama Tacos from their roof top bar. They were truly amazing. We never would have known they were an option. We followed that with more tacos from off the menu. Small tacos with grilled tuna and a sublime balsamic vinegar reduction. We had the Pear Salad with Goat Cheese salad. It was both lovely and delicious. The dressing was the most amazing part. There was plenty if it, but is flavor was so subtle it let all of the ingredients shine, particularly the dabs of goat cheese. We then had the Grilled Steak Molcajete (the conversation about which dish started our entire adventure). This was wonderful and something that we would not have ordered without Rigel's suggestion. We finished with the Tuna Carnitas. They were hard to visualize from the menu, but were out of this world. What a night to remember! While there were many children in the restaurant, we are so glad we left ours with a sitter. We could relax, enjoy a culinary adventure and not have to fight with our five year old about the menu or his impatience (common for a child his age). Thank you again Rigel and all of the staff at Pueblo Viejo! read more

Okay...we were there about 5/6 years ago...regret not taking my phone to take pics. If I'm not mistaken this place serves the best tacos...EVER!!! Corn tortilla, steak (yes, actual pieces), pieces Argentina chorizo, topped with lemon marinated slightly grilled pork grinds...we also had a salad of shredded iceberg lettuce with marinated (to soften them up) pork grinds and slightly grilled and light lemon flavored dressing. Seriously if I still remember what I ate here then that must tell you how good the food is. Future reference...please post pics!!!! read more

There is tons of options around this restaurant there is one just on top roof of pueblo Viejo with an amazing roof top with great view but with only tapas and drinks. Pueblo Virgo has great customer service and staff is very friendly and can accommodate any needs. It's vegetarian friendly with several options. They take major credit card. They start you off with chips and hot fresh bolillo bread. They come with salsa and butter. The decor of the place is very inviting and adds to the overall experience of enjoying their delicious food. I ordered a Tortilla soup which was delicious and a big size. Honestly if you can get satisfied by just ordering the soup. I also ordered a pear, goat cheese salad with chipotle dressing and caramelized walnuts. The lettuce was very fresh and the dressing was great. My wife ordered a vegetarian fajitas which turned out to be delicious. Great smokey flavor on the vegetables and it came with like 12 fresh hand made tortillas. It also has black beans and guacamole. Definitely a place to stop by and enjoy great food in San Miguel. read more

Rather disappointing. In a city of culinary highlights, this is quite mundane. Everything is either too sour, too spicey, etc.

This review is for the rooftop - which was spectacular. We came here every single day during our visit to this beautiful city and were not disappointed once. The drinks were made quite well, and the food was phenomenal. Everything from shrimp tacos to artichoke casserole, I couldn't get over all of the delicious eats! We were told by some wonderful people sitting near us that this place is a total hot-spot, which we saw on that Friday evening - music blaring, upscale crowd, dressed up, and raring to dance and enjoy their evenings. We came during the day which is way more casual and service at both times was on par. Loved the vibe, the location, and the FOOD! This is a must if you're in the area! read more
