Named after the Central Mexican metropolis of San Miguel de Allende, Café San Miguel is a casual yet engaging flirtation with Mexican cuisine coupled with Tex-Mex inflections. Café San Miguel is the work of restaurant designer Ron Guest and his small klatch of partners. The food often surprises with its focus and clarity, such as the made-to-order guac, searingly fresh ceviche, and crisp, moist snapper fried whole.
