Here’s What They Are Saying:

“What’s especially appealing at chic but warmly welcoming Café San Miguel is that it has great style and serves divine food, starting with its tacos Pacífico. Swabbed in a Negra Modelo beer batter, the tidy planks of red snapper bear golden tempura-like jackets and are paired with pickled red onions, fine shreds of cabbage, and a tequila-infused crema. The finishing touch is an envelope of fresh house-made tortillas.”

“Café San Miguel takes a fresh approach to new-style Mexican cuisine.”
(The Dallas Voice)

“Café San Miguel...represents the new breed of Mexican restaurant where the experience is more refined than a plate of cheese enchiladas and a frozen lime-green margarita.”
(Dotty Griffith/The Dallas Morning News)

“What happens when you bring together an innovative, successful designer and people who do dishes from Mexico's interior with authenticity and panache? You get a place like Cafe San Miguel, and wish it were in your neighborhood.”
(Ft Worth Star Telegram)

“This upscale Mexican spot is part of a new-school Mexican trend. The mole is rich, labor-intensive Mexican chile that you don’t find in that many places, and signature dishes: pollo pibil, chicken lumped in with masa, tomatoes, onion, and epozote, and baked in a banana leaf are exemplary.”
(D Magazine)

“Bright and cheery Café San Miguel, which recently opened on the east end of Dallas’s frantically hip Henderson Avenue strip, would pass muster in Oaxaca or Cuernavaca.”
(Texas Monthly)

Café San Miguel, a new restaurant that opened yesterday in Knox/Henderson, recreates the climate of the Mexican mountain destination San Miguel de Allende indoors. Blending decorative touches; Saltillo and Talavera tiles, paper-covered wooden tables, and hand-scraped doors; with bright regional hues, it’s a breath of fresh, Gulf Coast-inspired air.”
