Restaurant Recommendations
San Miguel boasts many wonderful restaurants. “Lunch” in Mexico tends to be eaten between 2 pm and 4 pm and often consists of a heavier; sit down affair that is considered to be the main meal of the day. We encourage you to spend your early afternoons relaxing with a “tequila and sangrita” aperitif and enjoying some of the fabulous local flavors. Buen Provecho!
