Venturing Forth: A last few notes on San Miguel

Sunset on the rooftop patio

Other places we ate:

Ten Ten Pie on Cuna de Allende - the food was okay, good place though for a licuado or a beer. They have outdoor tables on the opposite side of the street which are good for people watching and chatting with expats. We shared a table with a couple from Toronto. She has lived here in the winter for the last ten years. They just got married last year and he is taking Spanish lessons and greatly enjoying his second winter in San Miguel.

Rooftop at Mama Mia near the plaza - very good tortilla soup, hamburger was good but tasted like a flattened meatball as it was heavily seasoned.

Petit Four, near the theatre - Why did we not visit this place earlier?! Absolutely delicious raspberry tartlet and good coffee including an iced americano. The glazed raspberries were so fresh tasting and were on top of a very small amount of pastry cream. The flaky, buttery crust was coated with a thin layer of chocolate. We may have to go back to try the layered chocolate truffle cake.

El Pegaso - on Correo above the plaza. Great lunch of chiles en nogada and a salad. Friendly service. We were entertained by watching 3 Japanese businessmen at the table next to us. The youngest ordered a slice of chocolate coconut cheesecake for his lunch with a cup of coffee and a Coke and he was on his smartphone most of the time. The one not wearing a tie appeared to be the guy who lived in Mexico.

And for our final meal (and drink) in San Miguel - La Posadita, a little rooftop terrace restaurant next to the Parish church on Cuna de Allende. I got the tamarind frozen margarita and Jake had a sangria as we watched the sun set. Then we split an order of slow cooked pork in a red sauce served with guacamole and a chipotle salsa. A delicious way to end our visit. We also had the pleasure of a young lady at the table next to ours getting up to sing with a little mariachi group that came up to play tunes for tips. She is from the states but spoke Spanish very well. She chose better songs than the first table where all the guy could think of to ask them to play was Guantanamera.
