I've lived in Austin for six years and it's been in just
I've lived in Austin for six years and it's been in just the past year that I've been learning that there's an entire class of restaurant in this city that relies entirely on nostalgia and a reputation from years past. These restaurants have been around for decades which by all means, is impressive. But their foundations were cured well before the dawn of Austin's current burgeoning food scene full of creativity and innovation. I imagine that the survival of these places is hinged upon people's habits and reflexes. "My parents used to take us there thirty years ago for special occasions so it's what comes to mind when another special occasion arises." Matt's El Rancho and Vespaio fit into this particular category. And I'd add Fonda San Miguel to the list as well. The interior decor is fascinating and a pleasure to look at. The exterior of the building and the surrounding property is delightful. The table salsas were great. The overall service was accommodating. The guacamole was passable, the mole didn't have much flavor, and the cauliflower tacos were pretty greasy. I was most excited about the Huitlacoche Quesadilla. The Huitlacoche is seasonal and I was thrilled when I was told that it was available on the evening that we dined. But it ended up being a bit underwhelming. I relied on all of the sauces from the various dishes at the table to amplify the flavor. I was dining with a friend (who was in the know) who requested the housemade tortilla chips. Had he not, their default is to serve chips from a bag. If Veracruz All Natural can serve me housemade chips from the back of a truck then, I think that Fonda San Miguel probably has the resources to do the same in their massive brick-and-mortar kitchen. From their reputation, you'd think that this place would be on par with Comedor or Suerte but the truth is that it's more suited for the Eldorado Cafe or La Cocina de Consuelo caliber of dining. The food quality simply does not live up to the impression of fine dining. Fonda San Miguel is disappointingly average and I assure you that there's much better out there.

My wife and returned to this establishment after experiencing a wonderful meal less than a year ago. While the ambiance and service continue to be impeccable, the same cannot be said for the food. As with most mexican food establishments chips and salsa were presented. The chips were light but a little oily and the salsa, both green and red were just lacking. Large chunks of tomatillo were left in the green sauce and the red was nothing more than a watered down knock-off of something that only resembled hot sauce. The highlight of the evening was the small queso fundido con rajas ($9.75). This dish was served piping hot with fresh homemade flour & corn tortillas. Really delightful and recommended, yummy. I had a dos XX bottle beer ($8.00) and my wife had the strawberry swirl ($15.00). Her drink was tasty but really strong and my beer was nice and cold. The entrees arrived and nicely presented. My wife had the Pescado Zarandeado ($36.95) which was slightly overcooked but included a quite large portion. I understand this is a signature dish so the imperfections were magnified as nothing more than a lack of concern by the kitchen staff. I had one of the specials of the night - Chili Relleno con Camarones ($28.95). The presentation just sat there, a big chili relleno surrounded by some lackluster sauce filled with teeny tiny shrimp. The shrimp were properly prepared but had zero flavor profile just like the sauce on the chili relleno. After tasting this flop I was wishing I had ordered something else. This is an expensive Mexican Food restaurant. Our dinner for 2 with drinks, tax and tip was $130.00. As much as I was overwhelmed a year ago with Fonda San Miguel, I was equally underwhelmed this year. After this disappointment I am not sure I would return for a third bit at the apple. In Austin, you can find much better establishments for the money.

This place definitely exceeded my expectations in every way possible. If you're craving authentic Mexican cuisine served with a side of hospitality, look no further than this hidden gem. I can't wait to return and explore more of their tantalizing menu offerings!

Today, it is my family's go to place for celebrations. The atmosphere is uniquely old school Austin. The food is authentic interior Mexican and consistently amazing. The service is first rate with staff that has been in place for generations. If you want to taste one of the best in Austin (and its longevity underscores) you must go to San Miguel's.

Walked in without a reservation on a Tuesday eve and was impressed that they had a 45 min wait, BUT you could sit anywhere in front of house open seating and it was full service menu still!!! So we sat down and were promptly greeted by a kind server. They were diligent with water and chips and our food was delicious. I forgot what a local gem this place is. We will be back asap!!
Be the first to ReplyFood, service, and ambience were all on point.
We'll definitely be back! Best to reserve your table if going on a Friday or Saturday evening,
Be the first to ReplyThe food is overpriced for the quantity.
I ordered enchiladas and they were horrible, it came with literally 2 spoonfuls of rice and beans. Not worth the wait or price.

The restaurant is just beautiful and our server was friendly and informative. Drinks were good. I turned down dessert, but opted for an espresso martini which was lovely. I'm bringing out of town guests here next month.

Beautiful restaurant! Went with a big work party and our server Diego did a great job of taking care of us and had great suggestions on food, drinks, and and how much to order for the table. I had the chicken and pork belly special that was cooked in a banana leaf and was tender and delicious. I loved the art and cocktails. Will absolutely be going again.
Be the first to ReplyOMG!! This place lives up to it's reputation.
Delicious authentic Mexican food from a variety of regions in Mexico. We tried the top shelf margaritas, cucumber Serrano margarita, and the watermelon margarita and all were perfection. For appetizers, we tried the Queso Fundido (and it was fun!) and the house specialty Ceviches Las Brisas (so fresh!) and they were both excellent. For entrees we ordered the Camarones Al Pastor (spicy but very good), Camarones en cream de chipotle, Ancho Arellano San Miguel, the Tacos Al Carbon and the Ensalada De Espinacas. For dessert, we had mango margaritas (of course we did!) Everything was beyond amazing. Don't miss this gem!

Ambience was great but I think the food was overrated and over priced. I waited a month for the reservation so my expectations were high. The lamb lollipops were great. Everything else was so so.
Be the first to ReplyFonda San Miguel is worth checking out with its bright
Fonda San Miguel is worth checking out with its bright interior, traditional Mexican dishes and helpful service.The ceviche las brisas was standard but a sizable serving. I loved the elote soup with its more subtle flavor, the pieces of poblano and crunch from the tortilla strips. Every element of the cochinita pibil was well executed, I'd definitely order it again. The shrimp in chipotle cream sauce was fragrant and delicious.We also asked to try a sample of the mole and thought it was very tasty and well-balanced. We were super appreciative but later found out we were charged for the tiny side which is fine but unexpected.The restaurant and parking lot got packed quickly so come on the earlier side if possible. We were seated near several big parties so it seems Fonda is well equipped to handle large groups!

This restaurant is awesome! The food is authentic and delicious! The ambiance is elegant and at the same time cozy. It is a great place for a special dinner - I just went there myself!Highly recommend!

The queso fundido was the highlight of the meal as well as the dessert they brought out for my friend's birthday. I got the enchiladas suizas with chicken which I enjoyed. It came with a side of rice and beans which were also good! A few people ordered the tacos al carbon which looked amazing too. I wish the menu had more options honestly. We had a group of 12 so we made a reservation a few weeks in advance. We had plenty of space and great service. Lots of people were enjoying their margaritas!!
