Best tostadas I ever had! Pulpo was amazing and the salmon was refreshing.

Beautiful restaurant and bar. Small but there is much more dinning in the back. Actually a nicer section to dine than the bar area. Food was good as well as drinks. Pricing a little high. The reason I won't return is that the girl bartender sat on her stool for 5 minutes, wiping her nose with her hands and then got up to make a drink. She needs to be trained not to do that while sitting in front of customers.

Great food and margs, amazing atmosphere and service...bonus of fun background soundtrack. Don't miss this little delight.

Small, dark, resembling a little cantina you can find on any given street corner, this bar is easy to dismiss. However, it boasts a most impressive menu of seafood dishes. These include aguachile, carpaccio de pulpo, seafood mounted tostadas, tacos, and so on. Best part-its open til midnight although the kitchen does close just before 11. PS if you're not a seafood lover, don't fret, there are a few meat based options as well.

During my visit to San Miguel de Allende, I was looking for an authentic spot to enjoy a relaxed meal, and this place was a standout. I tried a variety of their dishes, including the tacos and fresh guacamole, paired with some local drinks. The food is truly delicious and the flavors are very well balanced; it’s easily one of my favorite culinary stops in the city. The atmosphere is perfect for hanging out and unwinding; it has a very genuine, local feel that makes you want to stay for a while.

Really enjoyed our afternoon visit in late June. Delicious wine cerveza frió y many cocktails. This is an old 1920 established bar with a hidden patio. Some very delicious bar food. We baja fish tacos and relleno tacos wow! Other items looked good we saw served. This is a definite yes to visit. Recommend!

Loved this place! It was super close to our Airbnb so we ended up there quite a few times - sometimes for drinks, sometimes for meals! Consistently good service and the vibe is just wonderful. The only downside I felt was that it was a little dark and does not have any outdoor seating and if it did, it would have been perfect.
