El Compita
First things first…
How long do you think it would take to try every restaurant in San Miguel de Allende; all 622+ of them and that’s not counting the restaurants that are under the radar, not on Trip Advisor or ones that we totally missed.. like El Compita.
While I’ve been running around to more than just a few restaurants every day for the past 13 years, Tereso Rivera Gonzolez of El Compita has been wowing locals with his smoothies, Jugos and Licuados for over THIRTY years. We must have walked by El Compita at least a hundred times and somehow we completely missed it.
In a somewhat nondescript building at Salida a Celaya 55, the guy were about to adopt as the fun uncle, Tereso Rivera Gonzolez, is known for making the healthiest drinks in SMA using fresh fruits and honey with no sugar or additives of any kind. I did an intro with a mix of my favorites: Orange, Pineapple and Mango juice. You can also do a cleanse; something we haven’t done since Chef Sofia Antillon left town and took all her famous juice blend recipes with her.
Tereso Rivera Gonzolez prefers cash only and doesn’t accept reservations · He does have Wi-Fi with a table out front that is usually ocupado. We were introduced to this colorful, local legend by Leticia Oldoni of JOLEISA Bakery last Friday; home to our favorite cookies.
