Rustica has morphed from a first-rate breakfast place to a first-rate establishment for dinners, and their recent addition of a pizza oven is particularly noteworthy. I lived in NYC for 45 years and had enough pizza over all those years to have an informed opinion on the subject, and that opinion is that the vegetable pizza I had last night at Rustica was easily the best I've had since moving to San Miguel late last year, on a par with the best NYC has to offer. The individual pizza was topped with arugula, mushrooms, garlic, roasted red peppers and "pea cheese," a food item I had never encountered before, and which made me laugh every time someone at the table would say it aloud, as I kept thinking they were telling me that the pizza came with peaches. It didn't. Additional kudos for last night's cocktail choice, "The Breeze," a delicious, well-presented gicucumber and citrus concoction. read more

This was one of the first restaurants we came across in San Miguel. The menu had a lot to choose from--mainly vegetarian styled. The menu ranged from tacos to breakfast burritos to smoothies to shakshuka. All the food tasted delicious and homemade. Our top pick was the chilaquiles! If you aren't sure where to start and are looking for something more international, this is a great place. However, if you're looking for more Mexican food or something a little more cultural, I would recommend going a little farther downtown. read more

Cozy cafe with ton of vegan options. Well labeled. Staff is knowledgeable about veganism. They offer breakfast and lunch items as well as fresh made juices and smoothies. Coffee and tea. Vegan milks have an up charge though. We had the mole enchiladas with mushrooms and the tofu scramble green chilaquiles. Very nice presentation and even better taste. Will definitely come back here again. read more

We visited Rústica as our last breakfast experience in SMA. After all the great reviews we figured we'd save the best for last. Maybe that's what made it disappointing. Is it super rustic? Yes! I love the front porch that makes you feel like you're in the jungle, the tree growing threw a wall, the outdoor area kept cool by the over grown trees. The cat casually climbing the tree in the back corner. I loved it all! However, there was a sewer smell as you walk in past the counter that's an immediate turn off. The presentation of the condiments and set up was again very rustic and authentic. However, the plated presentation of the food was sloppy and not appealing. My avocado was more brown than green and the nipple was still on it. It was so bad I forgot to get a pic. I had better Enmoladas at the Cafe in La Aurora - an old textile factory. The oatmeal also didn't look appealing at all and tasted similarly lack luster. The Quality of the food is over rated. There are so many better options in SMA that this would definitely not be a top choice for me. The service wasn't bad just a bit delayed. Which was only disappointing bc it wasn't busy at all. It took our croissant longer to come out than the oatmeal. SMA has some of the best food and service in all of my travels and this place does it no justice. I wish I would've skipped Rústica and returned to the Aurora Cafe or Lavanda. read more

A trendy brunch spot that feels like home (Los Angeles). Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options, healthy food including smoothie bowls and versions of avocado toasts. Outdoor and indoor seating covered by umbrellas. I appreciate the big menu, there's something for everyone. If you're coming on a weekend, there will likely be a 30-40 minute wait, we waited about 40 mins on a Saturday during lunch time. We had coffee americano, which was good and strong. The blue cacao smoothie bowl was good with strawberries, bananas, guava, granola and cacao nibs. We wished it was a bit more frozen/less watery. I had the vegan bfast burrito with a side of bacon since I'm not vegan, and the bfast bagel sandwich. Both were just ok, nothing mind blowing. For dessert we had a slice of apple cake with vanilla ice cream. Overall this place feels more for the aesthetics than the food, so not sure I'd come back but it was good to try and I liked the healthy options! read more

This place had amazing coffee and food, my favorite breakfast/brunch spot from our trip. You was an adorable spot with lots of outdoor dining and some indoor as well. It was a beautiful setting outside. Service was great and the food came quickly even though they were busy. The salsas were authentic and they had a mix of everything for everyone. The ingredients were fresh and the coffee options were plentiful. We will definitely be back in our next trip to San Miguel. read more

This place was really great. The vibe was zen. The food was fresh. The service was excellent. It had a cute outdoor courtyard with buddhas and flowers. The place was teeming with upscale Americans eating their yogurt and granola bowls while talking about going wine tasting. I had the ricotta/lemon pancakes. They were excellent. There were many vegan/vegetarian options, so we were happy. And, my wife was happy with her eggs and avocado. So, yeah. Good place. Highly recommended for breakfast. read more

Lovely spot for breakfast/brunch! Rustica was recommended to us by our driver and it didn't disappoint. We were seated in the back patio which had a really relaxing vibe, with lots of greenery. Ordered a matcha latte and orange juice to start. The matcha latte was good and strong, and the orange juice was fresh. For food, we enjoyed both the breakfast tacos and molletes. Portions felt pretty generous. Would recommend! read more

What a gem to that is always consistent in food quality (and popularity) . There is charm in both the front and back outdoor dining spaces (back is quieter) and we sat at one of the few indoor tables this time which was lovely. The staff is delightful and every breakfast dish, vegetarian or not, causes "mmmmm" with the first bite. No reservations so expect a wait at popular times. read more

Amazing spot for breakfast. I think they open at 8AM and they are dog friendly. Most of their seating is outdoors, although it can get quite cold early in the morning but they have heaters to warm you up. I ordered juice and the Shakshuka. The egg was a bit overcooked. I was hoping it was a bit more runny so that I could dip the bread in the yolk but the dish was still delicious! Lots of expats frequent this establishment. Service is also top notch here. They take credit cards. read more

Delicious! I had Enmolados Hievos and my husband had chilaquiles verdes. All amazing. Service was great.

I love love love the food here! So many options great for Sunday brunch. It gets very busy make sure to reserve. They have outdoor and indoor seating, in the winter they have blankets and very good heaters. The service is good, very kind too. I absolutely love the vibe it is very chill and friendly. read more

This is such a delightful little breakfast spot a little (1km) out of the main cultural center. It really is rustic--the building looks like it's crumbling but still structurally sound. The food did not disappoint in the slightest and the coffee is really rich and they have some baked goods. The staff spoke both English and Spanish and we saw several locals eating there as well as what I suspect were visitors from the nearby Rosewood Hotel. This is a great spot if you're looking for breakfast that opens before other things. Brunches here seem to start at 9 but this was open at 8am. read more

Best restaurant in San Miguel. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, generous portions, and healthy!! The outdoor patio is beautiful - and every single person who works there makes you feel so welcomed - like you're family. I tell everyone who visits San Miguel they absolutely have to have one meal there (although I have a meal there every few days!!). read more

Great service and food I will be back again for the wonderful array of delicious food

The atmosphere is wonderful and very relaxing. The dishes are beautifully plated and pleasing. Rústica's clientele are mainly expats and upper class locals thus the tastes (and prices) are catered accordingly. The wait was 60 on the weekend so get there early. read more

Food is legit and fresh. Original presentation on inch thick burned wood plates and black clay bowls. Generous serving sizes. Excellent coffee. Awesome food, tasted great! The back garden area is beautiful and rustic. Thanks for the great breakfast experience. Cheers! read more

Started with the most delicious smoothie I have ever had; it's called "the Gold" and you won't regret ordering it to begin your meal. The breakfast bagel was fantastic, bursting with flavors like bacon and pesto. The fish in the fish tacos was overcooked but the accompanying sauce on the tacos and the table salsas kicked these up to another level. Lentil soup and a grilled cheese sandwich with creamy, melty panela cheese and portabella mushrooms were delicious and comforting. Definitely coming back to try more of their menu! read more

Fabulous trendy/cozy/hip spot in San Miguel. Healthy and diverse menu with breakfast and lunch choices served all day. Want a smoothie? Lots of great choices. The Wakeup! Coffee. Banana. Almond milk. Oatmeal. Peanut butter. Max's. Cinnamon. Shave syrup. Cacao nibs. That should get you through the day! Ever try ricotta and lime hot cakes? Here's your chance. How about pesto toast on sourdough bread with sautéed mushrooms, mozzarella and tomatoes? Yummmmm. Pizzeta. Salads. Breaded veal cutlet. Lots of vegetarian and vegan selections. Adorable couple - Selva and Eduardo running the spot. A must try! read more

Delicious latte's!( I ordered the Golden latte- cardamom, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and magic in a cup!) We had to get two. We have been travelling around Mexico and missed our green fix! We ordered their delicious salads for bfast and a couple of other things. Their breads are made fresh and the plates are very well presented. read more

The food is good, really good. The ambiance is pleasant. The prices are reasonable, but what is truly remarkable is the service.

Atmosphere is charming AF! Really great energy..Great to meet up for coffee and a yummy pastry or dive into a hearty breakfast that doesn't make you feel like a slug.

My wife and I had breakfast this morning. Worst breakfast I ever had. Both our meals tasted as if they dumped a table spoon of salt in our meals. If I could give a negative star I would. It's a hit or miss restaurant. Never again.... read more

My favorite spot in SMA. The outdoor seating is absolutely lovely, and the menu features amazing tasty fresh options-- don't miss the breakfast sandwich (heavenly, I tell you) or the fresh fruit plate (I dare you to find a more decadently fresh fruit plate). Their baked goods are also exquisite, especially the almond croissant. read more

I can not speak highly enough about this WONDERFUL restaurant. This is my second time in San Miguel and this is the one restaurant I was looking forward to eating at again. In particular, I could not wait to have another one of their peanut buttery and chocolatey Atom Ant smoothies. Beyond that, everything else my family and I have eaten here has been incredible. We have had the vegetable toast, the roasted vegetable and quinoa salad, and the french toast. As well as their coffee and green juice. Not only is everything absolutely delicious, everything is presented in a very aesthetically pleasing way. You can really tell how much thought and care they put into everything they serve. On top of all this, the service is fast and everyone is very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere as well is beautiful and their outside eating area in the back is its own little paradise. Lastly, I want to commend them for their obvious sustainability efforts. I saw no plastic and nothing wasteful. The straw in my drink was metal and the carryout container looked like recycled cardboard instead of styrofoam. Could not recommend this place enough, I cannot wait to go back! read more
