Food Scene

San Miguel is known for great food. Most of these recommendations are located on the Ancha, just down from the condos. That's why this area is called restaurant row!
This is one of the top restaurants in town. Higher price range. Burger night is on Thursdays - including great quinoa and portabello burger options for vegetarians.

Wear comfortable walking shoes

San Miguel is a great place to explore on foot. Just wear comfy shoes, and don't even think about heels, ladies.
