Over the course of the past 10 years, we’ve eaten in just about every restaurant in SMA. One thing we know: it takes a long time to find your favorite foods. The list was ongoing, adding the final taco last Friday. Every restaurant or chef listed also has a link back to their social media.
I can’t operate without a list, especially given all the great food in over 600+ restaurants, so we thought we’d give you a little help to jump start your own list of personal favorites. Some of these places have been around forever and others are brand new. We think the mix defines the food profile in San Miguel de Allende today. The dishes are grouped by food type and are in random order.
Press on the link below to bring up the article. Buen Provecho and happy eating!

Why not try a little bit of everything?
Here’s a cheat sheet of eleven of the most interesting restaurants in the city – Atrio, Café Aldama 57, Pork Belly, El Pato, Trazo 1810, Culinarian Expeditions, Sophie Fine Bakery, San Expedito Miracle Café, Tostévere, Tacos Terco and Kan Bei. Just as we we’re catching our breath from the opening of three of them, the increase in activity continues. With the wide variety of food available in SMA now, we’re completely spoiled. The bar continues to be set higher and higher and it takes something pretty incredible to impress even the average palate.
Here’s a quick look at the ones that impress ours; where getting a good meal is all but a given.
Buen Provecho!

Eat Well Travel Often is our motto and we love table #2, where you’ll get an in-your-face view of the Parroquia - the iconic symbol of SMA. Atrio is at the very top of our list of the best restaurants in SMA and has been since the day they opened.
We kicked off our visit with a celebratory toast to the staff who make dining at Atrio a terrific experience. Manager, Luis Vela, has consistently made sure that the minute a guest walks in the door that he’s giving them something that will bring them back for more.
The menu at Atrio is always a work in progress and the best dish today is probably the one that the chef just created, like these delicious, smoked beet rolls stuffed with jocoque and agave honey and small but tasty Brioche balls with butter and rosemary honey. You’ll be amazed at how thin the beets are and what the smoke does to their end flavor. It’s one of our favorite dishes, much like the Burrata with Tomatoes and Pesto, the almond covered asparagus and artichokes swimming in butter. We also shared a pan of their renowned Rib Rice; our top favorite dish, along with the crunchy, Red Snapper.
We’ve eaten everything on the menu at Atrio and each dish is perfectly prepared by the master himself, Chef Arturo Sandoval – one of the best chefs in SMA.

The beautiful wooden ceiling and small, cozy feel inside Cafe Aldama 57 makes this space appealing. We immediately think old world the minute we step in the door and head for the seat by the window; our favorite table for breakfast. The menu has a wonderful selection of breakfast items and delicious appetizers and sweets. In fact, the dishes are all very different, many which you wouldn’t find at any other restaurant in SMA.
We can’t say enough about Café Aldama 57’s chef, Juan Carlos Hernandez, who is always there to greet you when you arrive. Try the remarkable Arrachera sandwich, served with caramelized onions, fried leeks and Matilda style French fries. For some reason, this sandwich always tastes best before noon. And who doesn’t love ice cream as a wake up call when its served on a thick slice of caramelized French toast. One of the best breakfast spots in the city just got better with the addition of Hummus; a favorite of Chef Patsy Dubois.

From Kansas City, Memphis, St. Louis, Tulsa and Central Texas, we love BBQ so much that we’ve traveled just about everywhere to eat it. We even went to the Memphis World BBQ Championship one year to spend a week with the judges.
Here in SMA, Pork Belly is the place for incredible, smoked foods. Chef Erick Medina is committed to growing everything himself so his dishes are at premium flavor. Surprisingly, he also makes bacon and ketchup. Yes, go right ahead, diners have been known to eat it by the spoonful it’s that good.
There’s absolutely nothing we love more than a great burger and every one of his hamburgers hit the high mark. The Mac and Cheese is to die for; made with Monterrey, strong Cheddar and Blue cheese. We also like a good Brisket; it’s on our list of favorite foods and leads us straight to his brisket tacos. Also on the menu is the restaurants namesake, Pork Belly, along with lots of Short Rib and sirloin. There’s something for everyone with an unparalleled assortment of meat and vegetarian choices on the menu.
SMA is not the most logical place in the world for BBQ but we think this very passionate London chef has turned the city on to something special. It’s so good in fact, it seldom needs sauce and that’s the true sign of a really great BBQ chef.

The best street food in SMA is this version of your mother’s Sunday pot roast. Pilar and Jose Luis have been dishing up Mixiotes in the early morning hours since they opened in 1995.
Every time we go there, we learn something new and recently found out that it’s Pilar who makes the flavorful sauce to mix in the broth every day. The blend would surprise you and it’s a well kept, family secret; part of their morning ritual. The meat is Lamb not mutton and Jose Luis cooks it in the ground overnight for 12 hours.
They recently celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. Like everyone else here in the restaurant business, Pilar use to work for Chef Donnie Masterton at The Restaurant.
El Pato continues to look for a restaurant in Cento to serve their Mixiotes as a special for breakfast. On Trip Advisor, El Pato has consistently been in the top ten dishes in SMA for years and it’s also a favorite of SMA food bloggers Don Day, a.k.a Glenn Griffith and Valen Dawson.
El Pato/ Calzada la Estacion 121/ San Miguel de Allende/ Hours: Friday - Sunday 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM.

Trazo 1810 has a brand new chef and we were totally taken by the seven course meal he recently cooked for us, which included Risotto, Lamb Arancinis, Tuna Tiradito with homemade lavash bread, Mushroom Hummus, Veal, Suckling Pig and two desserts: Maracuya Pavlova and Caradamon Crème Brulee. It was all top-quality, including the wine parings of Ruffino Pinot Grigro, which we always enjoyed back in the states only this time it was better and the Damana 5, a 2020 Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. The maitre, Eduardo Hernández, selected the wines and both were exceptional. The chef had his full team there that night including Tene’s Sous Chef, Natalia Lopez; another up and coming young chef in the Casa 1810 Collection.
Chef Erick Martintz De La Cruz is originally from the State of Mexico. He studied gastronomy at the Coronado Culinary Institute, in Tlalnepantla, Edo. After finishing his degree, he did an internship at Chef Alfonso Cadena's La Leche restaurant in Puerto Vallarta. He left the position of Sous Chef at the age of 22 and by 24, he was already Executive Chef in charge of the restaurant. After 5 years, he made the decision to move to San Miguel de Allende to expand his culinary knowledge and started working at Trazo 1810. After a year and a half, he worked at the Rosewood and later took a job at Selina Rooftop as a Sous Chef, in charge of the kitchen where he worked for well-known chef, Abel Hernández, for two years. He then moved to Todos Santos in Baja to work as a Chef at the Guaycura Boutique Hotel. He’s now back in SMA in charge of Casa 1810 Collection which includes Trazo 1810, Tené Kitchen and Bar and the new and spectacular Tené Rooftop.
Trazo 1810 has always been on our list as one of the top 10 restaurants in the city and now we have another good reason to go - it took just one bite of the mouth-watering veal to convince us that this chef is going places. Stay tuned.

So much great food comes out of Gilda Carbonaro’s kitchens - the one in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico and the one in Florence, Italy where she wrote a cookbook during the pandemic called A Tiny Kitchen in Florence.
Always come prepared to work hands on; she’s one of the most experienced chefs we know.
Culinarian Expeditions is a touring company that takes small groups to Italy and Mexico and also teaches cooking classes. She does market-to-table tours as part of the tour; exploring the Mercado Ignacio Ramirez in San Miguel as well as the Mercato di Sant-Ambrogio or Mercato Centrale in San Lorenzo in Florence. A great start would be to go on her culinary trip to Italy this fall.
I love Italian food and wanted to learn to make the authentic, Italian sauces so I took a cooking class from Gilda where she taught me how to create Pasta al Pomodoro, Pesto di Pomodoro, Raw Tomato, Mattriciana, and Puttanesca in the most incredible Grilla Del Testo Romagnolo pans from Italy. She also recently turned me on to Scamorza, a cheese from Ramos, and Saint Agur blue cheese. Finally in the know, I’m totally hooked on both.
Gilda and I share a love of reading cookbooks. A lifelong educator, both in and out of the kitchen, Gilda Carbonaro is one of our favorite chefs.

There are many things that Chef Sophia Rivera Pedeazzi is known for at this newly opened bakery - beautiful wedding and celebratory cakes with an assortment of great pastries, including a cake made out of pure butter.
I even ate a second helping for granddaughter Olivia - my butter half and the princess of the baking line in the York’s home kitchen back in the states.
Chef Sophia Rivera Pedeazzi is a native of Mexico City and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Culinary Arts and a Master’s in Food Styling from Colegio Superior de Gasronomia. She worked as a cook at La Hacienda de los Morales and then as a Food Stylist and Content Creator for five years at Kiwilimon. For those of you who don’t know, Kiwilimon is the largest digital cooking platform in Mexico with over 33 million social media followers, over 18,000 recipes and has become the leading cooking channel for advertisers.
Chef Sophia Rivera Pedeazzi opened her own bakery, Buttery, in Mexico City and later moved to San Miguel de Allende and started making cakes and dessert tables for weddings. She also opened a crepe corner with her husband Mauricio and later decided to open Sophie Fine Bakery, located in the newly remodeled, upscale strip mall at Salida a Celaya 26, along with another one of our favorites, Ancesrtro.

The best kept secret in SMA is a cup of Chiapas coffee at the San Expedito Miracle Café but the magic comes in owner/storyteller, Fay Hart and her champion, San Expedito, the patron saint of urgent needs. If you happen to have any, buckle up and come along with us for the ride.
Fay Hart is a teacher, a poet and the dueña of San Expedito Miracle Café. She’s lived in Florida, London, Barcelona and Ireland and is now settled in to San Miguel de Allende, where she tells, among other things, the stories of this mysterious saint. It all started when she found a prayer card of San Expedito in a tree years ago and once she tuned into him, he kept coming back to encourage her. Unrecognized by the Vatican, she felt an immediate connection with him.
It took her years of praying and visualizing but little by little, money came in dribs and drabs and unexpected gifts had begun to arrive that turned her into a believer. She tells the story much better than we do. San Expedito happens to like things that are red - candles, roses and wine - and she has kept him in abundance for years. She finally came to recognize that he’s best served with pound cake, which she started to make and now also sells it to Cheryl Finnegan, the owner of Café Rama, who was the one that turned us on to this little gem in the first place. One of the customers at Café Rama recently told us how she bought a nicho of San Expedito from Fay and suddenly, all of her problems disappeared. Growing up Catholic, I figured it was worth a shot.
A nicho came home with me today because we figured out that the simpler things in life are best achieved with a bit of coffee, a slice of pound cake, a portion of magic from Fay and a whole lot of prayers to San Expedito.

The small but mighty Tostévere delivers some of the best food in the city. Located between downtown and the Ancha, the offerings are classic Mexican with a twist; compliments of Chef Jatzirin Blanco. Try the Seared Tuna and Avocado Tostada and the Tempura Shrimp Taco with fried leeks; both using premium seafood from the coast of Mexico. Tostévere’s Sweet Potato French fries are served with mayo and chipotle and are so good, they’re rated the best in town. Ask anyone about Tostévere and the first thing they mention are the fries. With a high temptation to lick the bowl, dessert was Fried Bananas with Passion Fruit Ice Cream; a winning combination. It’s one of my favorite new desserts.
Tostévere is part of a conglomerate owned by the Aranda Lavalle brothers and include restaurants La Choperia, Tostévere, BocaLab and Bocaciega. They also own Mr Emilio, a food logistics delivery service and will also be opening a casual, Italian restaurant in March. Tostévere celebrates its fifth year anniversary this year and La Choperia recently celebrated their tenth.

We’re happy to find yet another new taco place in town; this time from Taquero, Edgar Gutierrez, who hails from Nayarit.
Tacos Terco is in a black and yellow taco truck parked in a lot at Sterling Dickinson #22. It’s got plenty of seating with picnic tables out front. We liked all of the tacos – the Chorizo, Tongue and the Adobada Pork, which were charred and not sloppy with sauce. They also make great Quesadillas and salsas. For dessert, get a slice of a cheesecake made from his Grandmother’s recipe.
The star of the show is the classic Nayarit taco, made with beef steak and panela cheese. It went on our list of favorite tacos the minute we took our first bite. There’s no other taco like it in SMA and that’s just another reason to love it.
He and his staff, Paulina and Christian, all worked together at Hacienda Los Picachos for five years before he decided to open his own taco truck. His wife, Giselle Pena, is also opening a new store on the property called Pocket Supply Market, which sells products from both the US and Europe.

Be totally prepared for a whole new level of luxury when you walk into Kan Bei. Architects are visionaries and this one had his eye on the prize. The property is gorgeous. When Tito, the owner of La Unica, stops on his motorcycle as you’re standing outside and tells you this restaurant is beautiful, you know that it is without even looking.
Every detail of the property comes down to balance and harmony; the Feng Shui principles which are fundamental to Chinese architecture and this one’s is a beauty. Fostering a totally serene and uplifting setting, one of the owners, Bei Wong, has been in SMA working on the property for over 3 years. Bei Wong previously owned Chinese restaurants in Monterrey, Mexico.
Kan Bei is by reservation only and the front door will remain closed. When you make a reservation, you will be given a code to unlock the door. That may change when they move the restaurant to the second level. Their eye-catching, Chinese bar is the most beautiful bar in SMA. The restaurant, which seats 52 people, uses an enclosed open space for its dining area and will have an upper deck that will open in May to expand their seating to 120. Kan Bei is located in the La Senoria Hotel, which has not opened yet. It has four guest rooms that are decorated in the same black and white elegance as the rest of the property.
The restaurant opened to the public this past Sunday. We knew the young chef, a recent transplant from GHAR where Chef Hiran Patel told me that it’s a perfect fit for Chef Diego Alberto, whose specialty is Asian cooking. Kan Bei will also cater weddings and other special events.
The food – right now, it’s appetizers and drinks; many are specialty like the Saki Martini and a really good Pina Colada. Main dishes will be added when the restaurant moves upstairs in May. There are plans to roll out new dumpling, noodles and other Chinese dishes in the coming weeks so every time you go there, the menu will have a lot of surprises. We tried a number of dumplings dishes and loved them all; most ranging in price from $250 to $450 pesos. Our favorite was a plate of 4 steamed dumplings stuffed with Shrimp and Pork Belly which had a flavorful, spicy chili sauce to top it off. It’s going to be interesting to see where this restaurant takes us in the next few months. Stay tuned for their progress.

I threw out the rule book for eating French food the day Chef Jorge Avendaño made me Coq au vin for the very first time. It’s the only dish in SMA I can eat every day with my eyes closed. The 5 course menu he cooked last week included another round of Coq au Vin, only this time it was even better. Coq au vin is my favorite dish when Chef Jorge Avendaño prepares it; no other dish even comes close.
Chef Jorge Avendaño started cooking with French and Spanish chefs and that’s where he made his mark. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Mexico, he worked for over 20 years in restaurants and hotels around the world. In Mexico, he was the Executive and Creative Chef at Parker and Lenox, Puebla 109, Corredor Tonala and Catalina, among others. His career changing moment was when he worked with Chef Rene Redzepi, owner of the three-Michelin star restaurant Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark. At Noma, he became an expert in many things, including fresh, seasonal produce. The dishes he creates today are unquestionably Michelin class.
Aida Alaya Garcia is the front of the house force along with son, Georgie. You’re likely to meet his managing partner in the restaurant, the delightful Alejandra Cortina. At Salvajes, we always sit at the chefs table for 2 with a view of the chefs at work; it’s undeniably the best seat in the house.

Just ask Mike Espinosa, who created a new menu of cocktails just for Salvajes and Bastardo. Try a Blue Cheese Negroni, an aged cocktail created in several stages. First the Gin fatwash is infused with a London dry with butter and blue cheese for a week and at the same time they craft the fig's vermouth, also infused for one week. After that process, they batch the Negroni with orange liquor, the crafted vermouth and the fat washed gin (removing any fat or oil from the mix) aging it in small barrels until it’s ready for consumption.
After an incredible, five course comida, which included Kumamoto oysters’ fresh from Ensenada, the best French onion soup we’ve ever eaten anywhere, a mammoth scallop with celery root that was caught in La Paz yesterday, bone marrow with escargot and Coq au vin complimented by Pink Peppercorn and salt bread, we walked seven doors up to find the new Bastardo restaurant in progress and it’s a total knockout! Opening at the end of February, 2024, at Hidalgo 66, it has an oversized kitchen and a custom BBQ that takes up an entire wall. The multi level restaurant with gigantic trees, some of them soon to be blooming blue Jacarandas, stunning gardens and a custom playground in back will open in late February just before we take off for our culinary trip through Mexico. Like Salvajes, Bastardo was blessed with those beautiful old tile floors that we’re in our own kitchen back in Chicago.

We’re convinced that Chef Jorge Avendaño is one of the best chefs in SMA, if not the best. Also, we’re predicting that Bastardo will go down as the best thing that happened to the food scene in SMA in 2024. How’s that for the perfect trifecta?
Chef Jorge Avendaño is also the consultant and chef at La Sotomayor Cantina at Anatole France 70 in Polanco; one of Mexico City’s most popular neighborhoods.

This past December, Adrian became a restaurateur, opening Aristocrat at Jesus #27. It was his lifelong dream.

For instance, the nine dishes on the Sunday Brunch menu are under $180 pesos. We tried the Chilaquiles Moritas, made with a pile of pulled pork instead of chicken, the Labneh Eggs on Brioche and the Steak and Eggs: a slab of Arrachera with spicy Chimichurri and French Fries. All of the dishes claim very distinctive flavors. There’s also a build your own Bloody Mary bar; the only one of its kind in SMA at $150 pesos a drink.

It was so memorable they are still raved about by the many people who have followed his career over the years. Also, his Mole Martini at Jacinto 1930 was pretty darn perfect too and the first drink he ever made for us.

Traditional British pub foods are sprinkled throughout the menu.

The sandwich is huge and on a special baguette made by Chef Jafet Flores at Panaderia MAEH in the El Recinto Luxury Hotel. You can select from the following sausages: Irish Steak and Guinness, English, Lincolnshire, American Apple, Pork and Jim Beam, Texas Hot Links, Mexican Chori-Queso and German Bratwurst, all made by Simply Sausages in Mexico City. Adrian favorite is the Lincolnshire.

With Dart night on Monday at 7:00 PM, Happy Hour daily from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM and Aristocrat Live on Wednesday nights featuring some of the best music in town, you’ll want to go often. Reference their Facebook and Instagram pages, aristocrat.sma, to get all the updates.
And to one of our favorite food lovers who made the comment that restaurants never succeed in this space, were here to tell you that Aristocrat has delivered so much contagious enthusiasm to 27 Jesus that it’s chased out all the ghosts and totally broken the curse.

La Azotea has sold over 56,000 Jicama Tacos since they first opened in February, 2005 and started making them several years later. A texturally adventurous bite, the shell is made with a Jicama slice then topped with shrimp (there are other options too but the shrimp is the best), fried leeks, mayo with chipotle and a tamarind sauce.

Every small detail stands out, especially when you’re least expecting it and despite the fact that it was stunningly decorated last week for the holiday season, we loved reading between the lines - you know, seeing the things that have always been there but you finally noticed them for the first time today.

One of the most inviting rooms is their Casa Dragones Bar, a spot where you can sink into and never come up for air; not that you ever wanted to. We call it our “leave me there place” with all the necessary toys, bottles, telescopes and games to get you through a long weekend. The bar overlooks the Obraje Dam, where the pool and hot tubs beckon you to take a refreshing winter dip instead of just getting your toes wet. It’s a total experience of the senses.
Another one of our favorite locations is the hotel gift shop which is unlike any other place you’ve shopped. The selection is both diverse and affordable with out-of-the-ordinary items from cities in Mexico you’ll really want to visit. We think it’s one of the best places in SMA to buy a different gif and its currently not too late for Kings day.
The highlight of our trip however was the Spice Market, where the menu is a gastronomic journey through the diverse cuisines of Asia: India, China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam. At first we thought it was the Buddha, but every time we eat here it’s been a pretty divine experience. Chef Michael Coon is the best Asian chef we know and he raved about every offering too. How’s that for bringing the best palate to the tasting table and getting instant feedback?
Every bite was a journey of taste and discovery; every dish a culinary work of art. We love that Chef Ernesto Navarez tries new techniques, like with the Black Pepper Shrimp and pineapple, his most popular dish, where he pulls the liquid out with a vacuum and infuses flavors of herbs and spices into the flesh of the pineapple.
In addition to taking advantage of Covid and getting training at the coveted CIA, also Chef Michael Coon’s alma mater, Chef Ernesto Navarez was educated at some of the best hotels: Live Aqua Hotel Mexico City, the Grand Fiesta Americana Queretaro and the Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. We really liked this chef from the standpoint of his enthusiasm for changing up the menu and experimenting with new flavors. All of them were spot on - from the delicate and delicious orange chicken with kumquats to the Pork Belly Bao buns, with a soft and fluffy texture, topped with jalapeno, Asian pears and Mayonnaise gochujang to the Red Snapper, which was magnificently prepared with a mild but flavorful Asian sauce.

The Bao buns, both fried and steamed, were different than the others we’ve tasted around town thanks to the texture of the wrapper. One of the best things about Bao is that you can have them any time of day or night but they are most often eaten as a grab-and-go breakfast or as a supporting act to your favorite Asian soup or salad.
If you’re a true Asian food lover, this meal was defiantly one for the books. Currently listed at #2 of all the restaurants in SMA, it has an almost perfect 5.0 rating from 756 reviews.
Spice Market is currently our favorite Asian restaurant in SMA. If we had to put a Top 10 Restaurant list together for SMA right now, Spice Market would be close to the top of that list.

Every bite should taste as good as the first bite and the revered art of French patisserie is alive and well in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Proof in point: Panio’s Galette des Rois - a King Cake, the traditional French pastry associated with the celebration of the Epiphany.
At first we thought it was an apple cake and then we took a bite. The cake is made of layers of puff pastry filled with almond cream: frangipane made of almonds. Panio has crafted the perfect puff pastry, a certifiable buttery wonder of physics, that is so good that even Melissa Perry Barnett, who worked for Alice Waters at Chez Panisse and is one of SMA’s most knowledgeable pastry makers, said that it’s the best Puff Pastry she’s ever had as she took her second bite. We could not stop raving about the texture and flavor of this Galette.
You can purchase it on either Thursday or Saturday until 1/6/24. The first week of January however, it will be available every day, made from the time honored, Panio family recipe that totally surprised us this Christmas.
Is this one of the best desserts we’ve ever had? Yes, she said, counting the hours until Thursday morning.

With a life-size hug from Eduardo Pérez Calvo of Rustica, one of the best breakfast restaurants in San Miguel de Allende. It’s amazing what a latte, some really healthy food and a hug can do, all before 9 AM.
Eduardo Pérez Calvo debuted as a restaurant owner five years ago. Eduardo worked for his uncles, Jose Maria Calvo (Chema) and Jesus Manuel Calvo (Chus), at La Azotea (Umaran #6) and Atrio (Cuna de Allende #3). His uncles have been in the restaurant business since they opened their first bar in Spain when they were just fifteen years old so you might say it’s in his blood. Eduardo also did a stint in 2013 at the spectacular Burtown House, an early Georgian villa, café and garden in Athy, County Kildare, Ireland. Also with a long line of restaurant owners, chefs and bakers in her family as well, Selva Lampreabe Rosenfeld's culinary inheritance shines as well. Looking back on the past 5 years, we’re not certain what we ever did without Rustica; having eaten breakfast there more times than we can remember.
Rustica has always been a second home to us, offering really great food and an ambiance that makes you feel like you’re part of the big, happy family that Eduardo calls his own. When you go there next time, congratulate Eduardo and Selva who be parents for the first time in late March or early April.
Here’s a look at just some of the remarkable items on their menu, all prepared and served with healthy ingredients and loads of love. It’s no wonder that for five years now, it’s been one of the top, breakfast spots in the city. And don’t forget to get that gigantic hug on your way out too; it’s Eduardo’s signature dish.

There is a Mayan legend, written in the Popol Vuh that says that man was created from corn. Ancestro was born from this legend, honoring the essence of the grain from the root. Ancestro’s style of cooking is slow, just like their ancestors. Remember, all good things take time. Low and slow is the way to prepare food – at least in our book. Slow cooking allows flavors to develop over time, resulting in richer and more complex tastes. Many of the dishes on the menu were named after an ancestor.

We love the whole package. First off, the food is great; the essential element in any successful restaurant and believe me, this is going to be one. Chefs Diana Almanza Figueroa and Jonathan Navarrete Sánchez have a lot of experience cooking, not only in Mexico but also abroad for Michelin star chefs and in World and Latin American 50 Best restaurants, which was recently expanded to 100 and features some of the most esteemed dining destinations from around the world. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, the service first-rate and then there are the prices. I can’t remember the last time I looked at a menu with prices between $45 - $165 pesos.
Chef Diana Almanza Figueroa is originally from Durango. She has cooked at Diverxo and StreetXO in Madrid, Eleven Madison Park in New York, Au pied de Cochon in Mexico City, Benazuza, Cancún Kitchen Table in Tulum, Los Danzantes in Oaxaca and at Our Habitas in San Miguel de Allende where she met her partner in this venture, Jonathan Navarrete Sánchez. Her most recent collaboration was as a private chef for the Mexican soccer federation at the U17 World Cup Indonesia 2023. She is inspired by traditional cuisines, discipline and above all, is passionate about experimenting and creating from the heart.

He started his professional career at the very young age of 18. He worked at The White Box restaurant and since its creation in 2013, it has remained among the top ten best restaurants in Cancun. Chef Jonathan Navarrete was listed as a promising young chef of the Riviera Maya in 2017, being Executive Chef of the Azulik Resort in Tulum. Chef Navarrete has trained with world-class, renowned chefs: Chef Rafael Zafra (2 Michelin stars) at the White Box in Cancun, at NOMA in Tulum with Chef René Redzepi (3 Michelin stars) and worked for Chef Francisco Ruano at Alcalde, one of the World’s Best and Latin América’s 50 Best. Chef Jonathan Navarrete is currently Executive Chef of the Hotel Our Habitas in San Miguel de Allende, Tulum and Bacalar where we first met him. Quintana Roo has allowed him to fully explore and learn from local products over the years to create a concept attached to the flavors of traditional cuisine and respect for the work of local producers. He’s created a simple cuisine that is reflected in each of his projects.
Also cooking at Ancestro is Chaac, which coincidentally is the Mayan god of rain; a young man from Guadalajara who showed his cooking skills while we were there. Starting in January, Ancestro will be serving breakfast; offering Chilauiles, Enfrijoladas, Quesabirrias and other traditional, Mexican dishes.

Two of the principal dishes from their kitchen are the handmade, blue corn tortillas, which are not only delicious but also balance the spicier elements of Mexican cuisine and the mole Amarillo; one of the seven Oaxaca moles that we can’t seem to get enough of these days.

Our personal favorite was the Suadero.

This dish goes right up there with Churros and Bunuelos.
Both dishes are rumored to be at San Miguel Y Sus Sabores this weekend. Try them both because one is as good as the other. They will definitely be two of the star dishes at the food festival this weekend. See you there!

this time around when there are so many really great burgers in town so what
does this one have that the others don't? Well, let's start with Canada de la

the menu just short of perfect? We love that there's some of dishes on the menu
from The Restaurant's Burger night, the old Birdies Burgers menu, like the
towering Chicken sandwich, and our favorite tacos from Taco Lab. You'll find
the perfect balance of fast food and heaven, which means you can eat at
Birdie's every day they're open and still not eat the same thing twice.</span></p>

the place - the loaded baked potato fries, the cheesy fries and the truffle

than getting a great deal in SMA these days and MAEH Bakery and Restaurant is
the best find we’ve had in the decade we’ve been here. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">You’ll never complain
about the price. MAEH offers a $350 pesos brunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday
from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. Price aside, the food is so good and when we asked
to see the new chef, we were reminded why.<br />
<br />
We went to Mexico City to eat with SMA chef, Marco Cruz, who owned Tres Tonola
in Roma, and also trained this chef, Andrea Rivera, who was in the kitchen at
the time. That credential is good enough for us because in the 10 years we’ve
been in SMA, Chef Marco Cruz was always one of the best chefs here. Chef Rivera
has been in MAEH’s kitchen for less than a month and is already creating a
buzz; using locally sourced ingredients and cooking all Mexican dishes. It’s
great to have another female chef at the helm of a SMA kitchen; especially a
Mexican one. The new GM was also familiar, Vizcaya Arellano Edgar, who was
trained at Grupo Levain and Co and worked or cooked at many of their best restaurants
- Dos Casas, Aperi, Los Olivos and Cumpanio. She’s one of the few women we know
in SMA who is responsible for multiple brands: Recinto, Huitzil and MAEH.<br />
<br />
The brunch was simple and delicious. Take your choice of juice or a Mimosa,
Chilaquiles with red or green sauce or Mole Almendrado and a bowl of mixed
fruit: Pear, Cantaloupe, Papaya, Blueberries, Blackberries and Raspberries with
a Passion fruit honey; a homemade recipe from the chef which we suggested they
sell as the flavors were remarkable. We also loved the Chilaquiles. We ordered
half salsa verde and half mole; the mole was in the category of DIVINE.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The French Macarons
stuffed with Orange and White Chocolate are some of the only French Macarons we’ve
eaten that we really loved and the Pan de Muerto was filled with a Mandrin
cream and topped with fresh fruits. Both had marigold accents and were baked
in-house by Chef Jafet Flores, who hails from León and worked for Panio before
coming to run the MAEH Bakery. The bakery is open to the public and has some of
the most original and interesting baked goods; many changing with the seasons.<br />
<br />
The service was fantastic. Our waitress, Izamar Lopez Gonzalez, knew the answer
to every question we asked. It was surprising considering that many of the
questions were quite complex.<br />
<br />
Their hotel, El Recinto, won an architectural design award in Mexico. Hilda,
the owner, is charming, fun and totally down to earth. Her staff changes
started a few months back and both the food and service have taken a giant leap
forward. This past month, the new, young Mixologist, Johnathan Soto, who
doesn’t look old enough to drink himself, came over from two of the best
restaurants in SMA - Atrio and La Dona. Today he made a seasonal cocktail to
celebrate Day of the Dead with Casa Dragones, Mandrin and Aperol.
Interestingly, it’s the only drink we’ve ever liked made with Aperol.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Also look for new,
handmade pizzas which have recently been added to the lunch menu. At the more
formal restaurant downstairs, Huitzil, Chef Andrea Rivera will surprise you
with a menu of simple, classic Mexican specialties. In our book, simple cooking
is where it’s at.<br />
<br />
We can’t say enough about the owner, who clearly hired some of the best trained
staff in SMA. The quality of the experience is one of the many reasons that
this is one of the top new restaurants in SMA. And the best news is you
can also afford to eat here!</span></p>

something new to the table; something that chefs Pablo Gil and Michael Coon,
this food writer and three unsuspecting customers had never tried before:
Panuozzo.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> A <span style="background: white;">Panuozzo is a street food from the Campagna region of
Italy. It’s much like a pizza sandwich in that the base is made from leftover
pizza dough. As a chef in London, Ryan made them regularly so one might say
he’s an expert. The pizza dough is stretched out and puffs up when it’s cooked
in the pizza oven. The fillings are as limitless as that of a Mexican torta. We
also decided along the way that they can be stuffed with sweet ingredients and
made into a dessert.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">We loved the taste of Ryan’s Panuozzo because it
was both crispy and soft. Ryan offered this explanation “The Neapolitans tend
not to bake them crispy and they were more like a soft pita. What makes mine
extra crunchy is that I put the whole thing back in the oven for the second
bake. As far as I know, this isn’t something that is normally done. I think it
was a case of me doing it my way before I fully understood the whole concept,
creating a “happy accident.”</span></span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

happy we were as Ryan made us two different types of Panuozzo:</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"> <span style="background: white;">The Mushroom Panuozzo - a twice baked, slow fermented
Panuozzo bread stuffed with thinly sliced portobello mushrooms, mozzarella,
sliced garlic, black pepper, thyme, grated Parmesan and white truffle oil and
the Pepperizo Panuozzo -</span> a <span style="background: white;">twice
baked, slow fermented Panuozzo bread stuffed with mozzarella, sliced pepperoni,
minced chorizo, red onion, grated Parmesan, black pepper and after the second
bake crisp iceburg lettuce before folding and slicing to serve.</span></span><div><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0hIJhDQyCQtALH979Em3EjM6X4mW9TcUr-llSUWG1tg-3ObQpH7fIZ_yL7Pn7VLbyqQTo_sFKGEziC3wpABZcGmZ7cQNZ1NgAVmN93-DOjoBvfkfWgra1XJkXZlbpO-3gFetOEQM4bvo2UayFwD9qJyK3M_lvE23cSCpQnhcSQFcTbKGEGj93KPRcn8/s5330/9A.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3270" data-original-width="5330" height="392" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgn0hIJhDQyCQtALH979Em3EjM6X4mW9TcUr-llSUWG1tg-3ObQpH7fIZ_yL7Pn7VLbyqQTo_sFKGEziC3wpABZcGmZ7cQNZ1NgAVmN93-DOjoBvfkfWgra1XJkXZlbpO-3gFetOEQM4bvo2UayFwD9qJyK3M_lvE23cSCpQnhcSQFcTbKGEGj93KPRcn8/w640-h392/9A.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLPmoUHNgAsurpNZqj63qrDf8F9chiMCXAUbKnD_1b-y2eM5gBQJLXF8UlDkKHbjSrdbsERGibGaZ1AoGPb4-yYql-7fMws2oz7iOTnZQs74TnY5JxzZ_7F-qswIAC3CBHtelI3atMguRbd1miY_K_JEpty1uPc0S3qZIR8ybRB3RdK0C1a1-WgBkeWJU/s5568/10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLPmoUHNgAsurpNZqj63qrDf8F9chiMCXAUbKnD_1b-y2eM5gBQJLXF8UlDkKHbjSrdbsERGibGaZ1AoGPb4-yYql-7fMws2oz7iOTnZQs74TnY5JxzZ_7F-qswIAC3CBHtelI3atMguRbd1miY_K_JEpty1uPc0S3qZIR8ybRB3RdK0C1a1-WgBkeWJU/w640-h426/10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1jc52VDPDJnPDr1ekob7RsC07G6LzYYd7E1YGHWh4uqd66uh4nBuEqYkLuxh9uG9voXUV_U20hRS2Mljo_DW3Zds8RyC60Vy6vU4MLaJnweRSxnR-RzqovgQaZsQI_gNEV4ItinMeM5zw8IKVdiEmfjXZAhG7An2D5dbuFFd_rfmatx_8xD6FI1GXJYU/s5568/11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3712" data-original-width="5568" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1jc52VDPDJnPDr1ekob7RsC07G6LzYYd7E1YGHWh4uqd66uh4nBuEqYkLuxh9uG9voXUV_U20hRS2Mljo_DW3Zds8RyC60Vy6vU4MLaJnweRSxnR-RzqovgQaZsQI_gNEV4ItinMeM5zw8IKVdiEmfjXZAhG7An2D5dbuFFd_rfmatx_8xD6FI1GXJYU/w640-h426/11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_z4VRQw1IQ-5Qx519SzGCKqb9Ji0rS7q3H8cGAFuG_vGtsa4mQv4hBSrC5898QZSLSodO_M6MGAK41luU-zSWIOR34pY0yYbsWTsSEXAU2oxDHPqVOFyJinHvuYrFx_eAghE8HH2VngVq8tzU6xU4k4BusKTL4Y_iyEnJdofOQ_z6po8yELC8M0F94Cw/s3799/DSC_3698PMBU.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2845" data-original-width="3799" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_z4VRQw1IQ-5Qx519SzGCKqb9Ji0rS7q3H8cGAFuG_vGtsa4mQv4hBSrC5898QZSLSodO_M6MGAK41luU-zSWIOR34pY0yYbsWTsSEXAU2oxDHPqVOFyJinHvuYrFx_eAghE8HH2VngVq8tzU6xU4k4BusKTL4Y_iyEnJdofOQ_z6po8yELC8M0F94Cw/w640-h480/DSC_3698PMBU.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">Three of Pablo’s

the rule book when he came to SMA; that’s the kind of guy he is. Some of the
many perks of working for him are that he pays his people a living wage, he
offers English lessons to further enrich their lives and possibilities, he takes
them on trips so they get plenty of exposure to cooking and culture and he
allows them the freedom to be creative. Don’t blush Chef Patel. We think Ghar
is one of the best kitchens in SMA which also includes the other leadership of
Enrique Garcia-Evans, the Director of Operations, Marketing and Sales for Casa
Hoyos, where Ghar is located.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I knew Chef Patel in Chicago where
he and his lifelong friend, Viral, shared a deep love of cooking that was
immersed in Indian culture; family culture. Throwing caution to the wind to

destination weddings so when he first came to San Miguel de Allende, he was
doing Indian weddings for Zumo Catering. He was approached to open a restaurant
here and the rest is history. Amazingly, he put together a staff that operated
as a team from the get go. They will tell you otherwise but we see it as one of
the smoothest start ups in SMA history. His team includes Executive Chef
Mauricio Hernandez Patraca, Pastry Chef Mayte Rivera, Beverage Director Sebastian
Vasquez along with Hur Cupido Preisser.</span><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">
Eight courses were served last Friday at Press day; most of
them from a new menu where every dish was exceptional and delicious. I had to
fight Chef Michael Coon for the last bite of Makai Esquites made with an espuma
of roasted corn. It was one of the best dishes we’ve had and is now on our list
of favorite things to eat in SMA. We loved every one of these dishes with
emerging flavors of Mexico, like the Rib Eye steak with huitlacoche cardamom
curry and onion pakora that will be on the menu soon. There will also be a new
Sunday brunch menu coming out and the bar in front of the restaurant will open
to feature out of the ordinary cocktails and Indian small bites.</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;

are many new interpretations of Mexican food that embrace authenticity. Some
chefs are incorporating plant-based ingredients into more traditional
recipes. New food sources, like Chinaberry Farms, who has hydroponic and
aquaponic greenhouses, grow produce that makes eating Vegan really easy,
especially when it’s cooked by the culinary master himself, Chef
Jesus Vasquez Reyna of Aperi. He prepares an all inclusive menu at Aperi
and offers a strictly Vegan menu at La Cabra Lluminada; a little café on
Hidalgo he and his wife opened during Covid that has a large following today.</span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

If you’re a food lover who’s been exploring new flavors from different states
in Mexico, not just Guanajuato, you’re not alone. Chefs are doing that every
day. Our Habitas San Miguel introduced us to a new dish from Chef Jonathan
Navarrete’s home state of the Yucatan: Marquesitas<b> - </b>a crepe
rolled like a taco that was stuffed with cheese. We’re about to get a better
look as we prepare to embark on a two year journey through 12 different regions

Taqueria Los Originales de San Miguel is owned by an old friend, Jenaro Arroyo,
who opened Zibu in Acapulco and worked for Chef Eduardo Palazuelos for ten
years. He went on to open Zibu in Guadalajara, Monterrey and in San Miguel de Allende
at Live Aqua. Jenaro worked in Cabo for thirteen years at Lorenzillos, the live
lobster house and was the GM of Kookaburra in SMA until COVID shut it
down. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">In January of 2023,
he opened Taqueria Los Originales de San Miguel and offers dishes that are not
available at other Mexican restaurants in SMA. We loved the fried Cheese
Chicharron, the Sirloin and Suadero tacos but my new favorite is the Pastor
Arabe, made of pork cooked on a trompo, then cut super thin and dressed with a Habanero
salsa with pina and a white salsa of pure garlic, lemon and salt. We give it a
perfect 10 for the flavor. They also serve a steaming Queso Fundido with or
without chorizo. Both the Pita and flour tortillas are brought in from Puebla. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Jesus Vasquez Reyna of Aperi and his wife, Josefina, own this café; partnering up
with Alain from Don Taco Tequila. The restaurant is pure delight for Vegans who
are looking for a healthy dose of some of the most interesting food in SMA. The
small coffee shop located up front has a large following of regulars and serves
wonderful coffees from Chiapas. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

off breakfast was an Affogato made with Hazelnut gelato. In the back, there’s a
restaurant located in a small garden where you can take in nature while feasting
on a variety of Mexican dishes. At breakfast, I had the Mexican pancakes served
with flavorful, blueberry compote and at a later date, the French toast, which
was made with Soy milk, dark chocolate and fruit. Chef Jesus Vasquez Reyna is
there every morning to check on the chefs so you’ll get to say hello if you’re
an early bird like me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

list of places to go when I want to dodge the crowds and actually get some work
done. One of SMA’s best kept secrets, the menu is totally Vegan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #050505; font-size: 14pt;">Chef Luvia de La Rosa trained with some of the best chefs in
Mexico including Chefs Matteo Salas and Enrique Olvera. She proudly calls Chef
Luis Arellano of Criollo in Oaxaca her long-time mentor and friend. This former
chef from Oaxaca, who also worked locally under talented chefs Israel Loyola at
Jacinto 1930 and Davide Giribaldi at Cien Fuegos, has opened a taco stand; a
profession that’s deeply rooted in the food culture of Mexico. Los del Barrio
Taqueria fulfills a childhood dream; seven of her uncle's were Taqueros, some
of which are still in operation today. Her specialties include Chamorro and
Suadero - a Mexican taco where the fat is key because where there's fat there's
flavor. She also serves Barbacoa de setas (a vegan option) and Longaniza.
Friday specials are Cabeza de Cerdo al Vapor (steamed Pork) and Consomé de
Costilla (Rib consommé).</span></p>

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt;">If
it’s Friday, it’s time to try the new food truck located in the garden called
Lunch Box. The owners are two of our favorite food people: Daniela Flores, the
daughter of Lolita restaurant owner, Lizette Angel and Nacho - Jose Ignacio
Avila Padilla, the former Mixoligist at Pork Belly and Lolita. You’ll get lots
of great, authentic border-style Mexican food here – border style as in
mesquite-grilled meat, fresh ingredients, hand-pressed tortillas and sauces
made in small batches. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt;">Try
the California Burrito with carne asada, guacamole, and French fries with cheese
and cream or our new favorite: the Papas Coronado: a delicious batch of French
fries covered with steak, grilled cheese, sour cream and guacamole. It’s a
weekly fix that beats my old standby of chips, salsa and cheese. Burritos
Coronado is the perfect taste for your next, Mexican fiesta so ask about their
catering services.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">Chef: Vanessa Romero<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">This is the Vanessa
Romero that we’ve known and loved for ten years now since she came to SMA. She
was born in Mexico City and was educated at the Higher College of Gastronomy
and the International School of Tourism. For 18 years she cooked for ministers
and judges of the courts in Mexico City. She spent most of her time cooking
with her grandmother when she was growing up. The cooking comes naturally; the
recipes are in her head and she could cook them all with her eyes closed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">Her second
restaurant, La Romero, is authentically Mexican – featuring the iconic dishes
of Raices SMA, her restaurant on Salida a Celaya. The new location is inside
the Hotel Arcada and features delicious Mexican fare, a full menu of cocktails
and live music. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">As with Raices SMA,
anything you try at La Romero will be exceptional. Afterall, it’s cooked by one
of the best Mexican chefs in SMA. We love anything smothered in her mole. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

pulling inspirational quotes from the trees at Our Habitas San Miguel after
Sunday brunch, where a quick trip to Tulum is the order of the day at this
beautiful sanctuary outside of San Miguel de Allende in Los Senderos. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt;">Their
farm-to-table restaurant, Comunidad, offers a menu that showcases fresh,
locally-grown ingredients. They have an amazing Sunday brunch that’s truly a
Mexican feast, including Marquesitas from the Yucatan, where Chef Jonathan
Navarrete is from. They also incorporate some outside, local ingredients into
the mix, like the Ice Cream from La Michoana del Porton. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

favorite eats were the Pozole with smoked Portobello mushrooms – a very
different and delicious dish, the beautifully prepared and super-moist corn
bread, Elotes and Chicharron Quesadillas – Chef Magda Pablos’s favorite dish. Any
time we’re seeking a bit of harmony, this is where we head. The food, service
and atmosphere are some of the best in SMA. It’s a trip to the beach without
having to pack your bags. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Breakfast and Brunch come in a lot of different packages these days, especially
when it comes to price. Gigi’s Café has found its niche with great food at an even
better value. The quality is nearly perfect.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">Located
in the residential neighborhood of Independencia, come prepared to love
everything: the owners, the prices and the ingenious food and presentations
prepared by Chef Jarome Smith - a Kiwi chef from New Zealand who got a culinary
degree at AUT in 2000 and has over 20 years of restaurant experience, notably
cooking at SPQR, an iconic Italian restaurant in Aucklands vibrant Ponsonby. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jarome opened a seafood restaurant on
Aucklands viaduct harbor in collaboration with Ngaitahu fisheries where he
served daily fresh caught seafood. In 2014, he moved to the Gold Coast,
Australia to open Burgster, a casual restaurant with a focus on high quality
burgers and specialty cocktails. In 2022, he opened FLOR, a wine shop and
delicatessen specializing in natural and minimal wines. He recently moved his
family to Mexico to open Gigi’s Café.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">My
breakfast was an easy choice after looking at all the online pictures: the French
toast with seasonal fruit, including cherries from Chinaberry Farms, maple,
brown butter, a berry compote and clotted cream with fried chicken. Even a breakfast
of scrambled eggs and bacon looks awfully tasty. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">I’m
coming back for breakfast and staying for lunch just to savor the Eggs Benedict
and the Chicken and Brekky Burgers. All of their prices run under $200 pesos.</span></p>

time in Dubai with different brands before coming back to SMA. The former General
Manager of Hotel Amparo decided to take a break from both tequila and hotels to
do something he knows really well: slow cooking chickens. His family has been
cooking them in Celaya and Irapuato this way since 1960.</span></em></p>

can also order a salad, a seasonal mix that was another delicious surprise of
green and purple lettuce, with mango and strawberries, cranberries, pecans and
nuts with homemade honey and mustard dressing. $80 pesos.</span></em></p>

The project will take two years. Over the course of the next six months, I'll be spending a lot of time planning these trips, talking with chefs and food writers, upgrading technology to make life easier on the road, improving my Spanish after doing no immersion trips during COVID like I used to and savoring every ounce of SMA before I take off. </p><p>I’ve been thinking about this trip for well over 5 years now and although Eva Longoria lived the dream in a 6 episode version, I’ll be hitting up 12 regions in Mexico and sometimes traveling solo, without the benefit of a crew. I’m giving up a lot to do this project but it’s what I need to do right now. I’ll also be gathering things along the way for my grandchildren, Olivia and Parker, so they will come to know the Mexico that I love, too.</p><p>I’ll be looking at all things Mexico as it relates to food and spirits so unique, one-of-a-kind experiences are on our radar. We also intend to support local chefs, wherever we are, just like we’ve done in San Miguel de Allende for over a decade. Down to the basics, one of the many challenges will be living out of a suitcase for at least a month at a time. I’ll be back in SMA, my home base, off and on during my time on the road. A new website will be activated before we take off and we’ll advise you when it’s up.</p><p>In all the years I’ve been in Mexico, I’ve traveled to more than 54 cities. Here are the stops I’ll make along the way, subject to some minor changes and not necessarily in this order. We’ve been to all the cities but one - San Cristobal de Las Casas - but this time around, were going a whole lot deeper:</p><p>Oaxaca </p><p>Yucatan and Quintana Roo including Merida and Cancun</p><p>Tabasco and Chiapas including San Cristobal De Las Casas</p><p>Acapulco</p><p>Veracruz , Puebla and Cuernavaca</p><p>Mexico City</p><p>Morelia </p><p>Guadalajara and Colima</p><p>Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Barra Navidad, Nayarit</p><p>San Luis Potosi, Saltillo and Durango</p><p>Monterrey</p><p>Todos Santos, Cabo San Lucas, Valle De Guadalupe, Tijuana and Ensenada.</p><p>Someone recently asked me if Mexico was safe for the solo, female traveler? I’ve been traveling in Mexico for over 50 years now and I credit 30 years of Chicago street smarts for getting me by. </p><p>To the SMA community that sustains me, thank you for the continued support over the past decade and for following the food trail from 2013 to 2023. We’ve been fortunate to see SMA through some of the best (becoming a major food city) and worst (COVID) chapters in the past 10 years and we respect, honor and appreciate the many chefs and restaurateurs who were with us on this journey.</p><p>And to my delicious, beautiful, mysterious, chaotic and colorful Mexico, you always leave me wanting more so I am coming to find you.</p>Susan Yorkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15776689223880736401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1420154403566430914.post-77636632115328557932023-07-28T08:57:00.003-05:002023-08-02T17:44:14.500-05:00Chef Ana Cecilia Alvarez<p><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">We first met Chef Ana Cecilia Alvarez in 2017 when she was the <span style="background: white;">Sous-Chef at MiVida</span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;">. She first
went on our radar when we watched her plate dishes for the SMA Food Festival
that year and then we ate her cooking. We were officially in love with her
food. She was one of the best trained Sous chefs in SMA and she was always in
plain sight until Covid; a time when restaurants were fighting just to stay
alive. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

24 with her husband, Haniel Cruz, during the pandemic. She’s been there for the
past two years. We’re so happy to find her again when we recently wrote an
article on the 100 new restaurants in SMA. Cien 24 was one of them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

We can
still close our eyes and remember every dish she served us; incredible Italian
specialties and the most amazing desserts and gelato.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />

from La Universidad Tecnologíca in SMA, she did her internship at Restaurant Il
Grecale in Novello, Italy. She also took baking from Chef Christophe Rhedon in
Mexico City and classes in contemporary Mexican cuisine and Mexipan’s artisan
ice cream making with Italian master, Angelo Corvitto. She was the Chef-in-Charge
at Casa de Path in Los Senderos and later took the position as Sous-chef and
baker-in-charge at Mi Vida Restaurant. You never had to call MiVida to
make sure the head chef was cooking that night. You knew that Cecy was there when
Greta wasn’t and that the food would be just as good. Consistency was one of
their trademarks.</span></p>

target for an American breakfast and Chef Cecy Alvarez made us a plateful of
traditional Americana: Eggs, Bacon and a slightly sweet pancake; just the way
we like it. We weren’t looking for any gold stars on presentations in this tiny
eatery but they were totally there. She makes absolutely everything from scratch,
still uses quality ingredients and serves everything the way you would if you
trained at a first rate restaurant.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Serving traditional
Mexican dishes, some with an Italian twist, Chef Cecy Alvarez is here to stay.
Receiving 5 star reviews from everyone who has eaten at her restaurant, its
comfort home cooking at its best and from the likes of all the people dining in
Cien 24 today, it felt awfully good to be back home again.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>

is the key to success so every day she wakes up with a great attitude; certain
she’s doing what she loves the most. This ray of sunshine admits that she’s not
very flexible - she likes things pretty perfect and perfect it always is.
Written above her kitchen now are the words that she lives by: “Cien 24…with
effort and dedication.”</span></p>

series of posts on the 2023 Best Restaurants in SMA. After 10 years of
documenting the gastronomy of SMA, we think it’s only fitting that Atrio should
be the first post…</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As you know, we only
write about restaurants that we love and Atrio is on the top of our list of
places to go in SMA.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I have been a champion
of Atrio since day one when they opened in 2017. Not only have they
consistently dished up fabulous food and service but they also have one of the
best views in SMA; completing the perfect trifecta for dining.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Chef Arturo Sandoval
keeps reinventing himself; always trying new things and putting the finest
dishes on the menu to change up your choices often.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

of their game; whether it’s Martinis at the table from Abraham, a piping hot
plate of Rib Rice from Miguel or Laura, the mind reader, who knows your drink
before you even ask for it. We can only think of a handful of other restaurants
that give such exceptional service. This, of course, is thanks to popular
restaurant manager, Luis Vela, and the staff.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We’ve sent thousands
of people to Atrio over the past six years and if there’s one place that hits a
near perfect score, Atrio is it. Excellent food, precise attention to detail,
flawless execution and outstanding service define their dining profile.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="background: white; font-size: 14pt;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="background: white; font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">If there’s one person I’ve grown to respect over the years,
it’s Chef Matteo Salas. He returned last week from Europe for a series of dinners
featuring talented chefs; all the architects of memorable food. Joining chef
Salas on Saturday was Jesus Vasquez Reyna, the chef at Aperi, and Juan Emilio
Villasenor, owner of La Cocinteca in Leon and the master of cooking over fire
and smoke. The 10 course meal was another one for the books; admitting that I
say that every time I eat with him because the experience is, without
exception, always the best. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="background: white; font-size: 14pt;">The Amuse Bouche was an Oyster with Xoconostle and Habanero
and a Ceviche Tart that I can still taste. The Pulpo with Chorizo and truffle
sauce was sourced from a new vendor who specializes in only two Pacific
treasures: octopus and soft shell crabs. The main dishes, the Duck with Mango
and Sweet potatoes and the Short Rib with a Cecina mole, put us all over the
top. The dessert was served in three courses. In fact, the only thing that was
missing from the Chefs Table that night was you.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="background: white; font-size: 14pt;">The wines and spirits were world class – a local and much-loved
Casa Dragones Anejo and a wine by Vino de La Reina (no relation to Chef</span><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"> <span style="background: white;">Jesus Vasquez Reyna although we could officially call
this his wine now) Pinot Noir 2021 Valle de San Vicente. It’s one of our new
favorites with many fruit aromas, a floral element of roses and gardenias and
traces of that magical ingredient, chocolate. Every time we dine at the Chefs Table,
we discover a new wine that we love; one we’ve never had before. The Chefs
Table at Aperi is the primary place for an education in food and wine and, spirits
and Chef Matteo Salas is the best of all chef educators.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">
<span style="background: white;">There was so much light and shadows in the
kitchen that night, the photos from this event are left to the professionals. There
were several there, including the great, Mexican photographer, </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.75pt;">Ignacio Urquiza</span><span style="background: white;">. I left my Nikon at home but did snap a few with a cell phone. The one
of Matteo and I was taken by Ignacio’s wife, Laura Cordera; the famous, Mexican
food stylist. It was so remarkable to be in the company of so many people who
inspire me.</span></span><span face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="background: white; font-size: 14pt;">I mentally wrote my name on the back of the chair at the head
of the Chefs table at Aperi. It has a prime view of the kitchen and is the only

watching a perfect ballet - every step in sync; every movement better than the
last.</span><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"> <span style="background: white;">The performance was so effortless that I wanted to
replay it in my head to remind me why I love to eat with these chefs. The

all and to tell you the truth, the wait for this dinner nearly devoured me.</span></span></p>

eating from one great chef to another left me speechless until now. And when it
was over, savored, appreciated and enjoyed, the Chefs Table returned to its owner,
Chef Jesus Vasquez Reyna, the remarkable, young chef who trained as a Sous chef

Luvia de La Rosa is a standout in SMA culinary circles and has a rather
prestigious, culinary history. We called her the female chef to watch when we
interviewed her back in 2016 and she has just gotten better and over the years
since working and training with some of the best chefs in Mexico including Chefs
Matteo Salas and Enrique Olvera. She proudly calls Chef Luis Arellano</span><span class="muxgbd" face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="background: white;"> of Criollo her long-time mentor
and friend. </span></span><span face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">This
former chef from Oaxaca, who also worked locally under talented chefs Israel
Loyola at Jacinto 1930 and Davide Giribaldi at Cien Fuegos, has opened a taco
stand; a profession that is deeply rooted in the food culture of Mexico. <span style="background: white;">Los del Barrio Taqueria</span> fulfills a childhood
dream when seven of her uncle’s were Taqueros; some of which are still in operation
today. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""Tahoma","sans-serif"" style="font-size: 14pt;">Conrado,
Luvia’s father, was the only one of 8 brothers that didn’t have a taco stand
but as the eldest son, he somehow became the official taster. Luvia’s
grandfather, Maurilio, grew plenty of avocados and lemons and those were often
used by Conrado and daughter Luvia to barter for a free taco lunch from her
uncles; Conrado’s brothers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">At Jacinto 1930, among the base
of their great Mexican recipes was one from Luvia’s grandmother, Julieta - AKA Gloria,
which stayed on the menu forever. Chichilo Mole Negro, a </span><span face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="background: white; font-size: 14pt;">very laborious, </span><span face="Tahoma, "sans-serif"" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">Oaxacan mole, is considered one
of the seven most famous moles in Oaxaca, although it’s the least well known.</span></p>
