Miguel's Cocina

Visiting the area we decided to have dinner here. Got seated quickly. Very clean restaurant. Friendly staff and good service. Full bar and great menu options. TV all over to watch games, fire pit at one of the tables, tall tables as well as booths. Good parking, easy to get in and out of. Cheese served with chips! Good food and descent price as well.

What a treat of a visit today. Our server Lindsey was fantastic, attentive and on time even though the place was popping. The food is fantastic. Grilled octopus taco was crazy delicious. Shrimp quesadilla also rocked the house. Flavor on point at every dish. They even have burgers on the kids menu to suit my little picky eaters. If there was a 6th star, our lunch today would have earned it. Keep at the great work.

Miguel's was spectacular. We sat at the bar and got margaritas, they were so delicious! Hugo helped us out and we ordered the empanadas, they were a must have! And the trip fajitas, the chicken, shrimp and portobello mushrooms all cooked to perfection! It's beautiful inside with all the unique art and decor. They were so good, We suggested Miguel's to everyone we met at our hotel!

Took a detour from the mad traffic on the 5 on Memorial Day Weekend. Surprisingly there was no wait! Miguel’s is my fave spot for their queso blanco that comes free with chips and salsa. Delish! This time around we ordered ahi tuna tostadita, Plato Azteca, parillada, and chocolate empanada. The food never ceases to please. The ambiance is chill and comfy and very spacious. We had reggaeton lightly playing in the background and the Padres game on the flat screens. We sat by the bar area which is quite different from the other quiet, intimate section of the restaurant. Doug was very attentive and the food came out speedily. Warning for the chocolate empanada, it is made of Mexican style chocolate so if that is not your type of chocolate then you may choose another dessert. The ahi tuna tostadita will be something I order again and again. Food, service, and ambiance are totally 5 stars, but prices are bit hefty.

This place is just simply amazing. First, I'm gonna talk about the place. The place is perfectly situated right on the Exit of Palomar Airport Road. Very easy access. Plus I am surprised how the place doesn't look boring, they make the place very lively. I suggest that if the host states that the wait is going to be long ask if you can sit on the bar area because its actually more relaxing sitting there and you get faster service there since the bartender can get your order real quick. Some people might say isn't that the point of sitting on the bar? Well for me the position of the bar is located right in the middle, unlike other restaurants where the bar is inside where you feel like you're in a dungeon well not this particular Miguel's, because when you sit on the bar you have a better view of the restaurant. Now when it comes to food, yes I wouldn't say that it's the most authentic Mexican food out there however I admire how they try to innovate it without sacrificing it's authenticity. Happy Hour is the best. You can get any Mixed Drinks for $5.
