I eat here a couple of times a month and the food is always delicious and the service is great. Recommend this place to anyone. The ceviche, tacos and guacamole are always good.

This was our first visit...and it was perfect. The vibe is wonderful and our waiter was excellent. I was a little worried when I saw all the vegetarian dishes and there might not be enough to order but I was wrong. I had the chicken tortilla soup - one of the best I've ever had....not super traditional but excellent! Two friends had the chicken enchiladas and gave them a 10! And my husband had the Shrimp Ceviche - another 10.....Can't wait for an excuse to go again

If you're looking for a memorable "event" take the SD downtown ferry across the bay (or park fee) and arrive at the restaurant's threshold to see a well-appointed and colorful Mexican ambiance that feels exciting and relaxing at the same time. The view of the bay and downtown San Diego is unbeatable. We were lucky to visit during the Día de los Muertos (celebration), and every host, hostess, and server was in full costume! It was AMAZING! Our cocktails were refreshing, perfectly crafted, and almost too pretty to sip. I ordered the El Patron sampler with the habanero creme-smothered chilaquiles. It was just delicious. Definitely a "Be-Back". (Don't miss the striking restroom decor. It's so Frida Kahlo bold!

We celebrated my dad’s birthday at Miguel’s yesterday, and they truly went above and beyond! ❤️ The service was amazing, and we’re so grateful for the way they made us feel and helped make his special day even more memorable. You can really tell when people care about what they do, and we truly appreciate all the love and effort they put into making the experience special for us. Thank you so much to the entire team! We can’t wait to come back and celebrate more special occasions with you. May God continue to bless Miguel’s, the staff, and the business abundantly!

What a lovely spot for breakfast! The vibe is super welcoming and the food is fantastic especially the café de la olla so I’ll definitely be back. It might be nice to add some sugar-free desserts. Now I totally get why everyone raves about this place!
