Stopped here with friends who are locals for lunch. It was late so we ordered the soup and salad…read more The soup was a pumpkin squash with toasted seeds. The pumpkin was delicious and the toasted seeds took it over the top. The salad was a tabbouleh but had too much mint for me to enjoy. I had a local IPA that was good. The outdoor dining area was nice and our waitress friendly and provided good service.

I had a great time poking around but I'll bet this place is SWAMPED during high season. I stopped at the little stand that makes gorditas and assorted mexican specialty dishes (you can see pictures from other reviewers) and had a chicken and cheese taco that they first stuffed and egg into! They actually separated the layers in the corn taco and poured an egg into it before heating it up in the griddle... very cool and very good.

As I had stated with my review of Bayonna in New Orleans, the menu is a rarity in that I would want to order everything on the menu. You will find French bistro classics such as Croque Monsieur, Steak Frites, and Onion soup. There is something for everyone, although I have to say that their liver pate is not to my taste, though it is delicious (it is too sweet and less savory than I prefer). The texture is wonderful. The Croque Monsieur is amazing. Whether under an umbrella or the pergola, El Vergel makes for a lovely, relaxed luncheon, and a nice break from the delicious Mexican food available all over SMA. Reservations are encouraged if you do not wish to take a chance on table availability.

Going with the pineapple pastry, we thought the flavors were very good: perfect amount of sweetness and a fresh tasty pineapple filling. However, the dough seemed a little undercooked and there wasn't enough filling for the amount of dough. Otherwise, the experience of picking your dessert is so fun and this spot is a great example of a panaderia with homemade baked goods! The service is helpful and quick so I would recommend stopping by to see what catches your eye!

After much debate, I decided to go with the pan dulce to share with my sister as a dessert after our meal, and I'm so glad I did. Not only was the pan dulce absolutely delicious, but the kindness of the owners made the experience even more special. It was only 13 pesos, but we only had a 500-peso bill, so they generously gave it to us for free. We felt bad, so we gave them $1 USD as a small thank-you, but their generosity truly stood out. Pan Dulce itself - It was perfect--the custard filling wasn't overly sweet and had a slightly gelatinous texture that I really enjoyed. The outside was super crispy, and the sugar coating added just the right amount of sweetness. It was the perfect treat to end our lunch! Between the amazing pastries and the wonderful hospitality, I would absolutely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic and delicious pan dulce.
