"About 6 months or so ago, friends of mine told me that Bar San Miguel had switched owners and improved immeasurably. We made a plan to go and try the revised menu and drink offerings and I wasn?t disappointed! Within 10 seconds of walking through the door we were greeted by a smiling young guy in glasses that welcomed us warmly and took us to a cozy table in the backyard. It?s adorable!! We were given menus, brought water and asked our waiter for a few minutes to decide. Our outing was celebratory in nature so we all had a margarita to start. DAMN, These things are GOOD!!! Not too sweet with a nice balance of tequila to fresh lime juice, YUM. We made up or minds on individual dishes and called our waiter over. In the meantime before our mains we grabbed some Chips Guacamole which comes in mild or spicy. We chose spicy and we were all very happy. The table ordered: Yuca Fries, Fish Tacos, Steak Quesadillas, Short Rib Tacos and A Caesar Salad. The food started coming out of the kitchen pretty quickly and we all gazed at one another?s dishes hoping that the food would be as good the margaritas were. WOW!! You know how you can always tell when people like what they?ve ordered?? The conversation comes to a stand still. We were taking bites of each other?s mains by passing our plates clockwise and it wasn?t long until we had devoured it all. The Yuca Fries were gone in seconds! The Fish Tacos were lightly fried and topped with pickled onions, chipotle mayo and greens. The Steak in the Quesadilla was grilled and had onion with Pecorino Cheese. The Short Ribs in the Tacos were braised perfectly and served with the braising liquid. The Caesar came with Grilled Chicken, Crispy Tortilla Strips, Avocado and Radish and balanced nicely with the Caesar Dressing. We ALL decided to order another drink and happily found that the second was just as good and consistent as the first. We all left there SO happy! It was a GREAT birthday indeed. Hands down Bar San Miguel has improved unequivocally. I?m not sure who the new owner is but they along with the professional and welcoming staff, made a lasting impression on our group that evening. This is 1 of my new spots and I couldn?t be happier. Cheers ? to a job well done!"
