Miguel's Cocina

Pleasant atmosphere. Small parking lot.. handy in Old Town. Food was delicious. Returned for an end-of-an-era gathering. We had a set menu. One of us was allergic to some of the salad ingredients. Normally they just skipped the salad part. But the waitress said that she would substitute a cup of soup. That was excellent as most places don't do that especially with a set menu. Highly recommend.

Came here while visiting Old Town and figured we'd try a new restaurant. The staff were very friendly and the service and atmosphere were excellent. They served complimentary chips and salsa and even queso. I got the sampler platter for my entree, which comes with nachos, ceviche, empanadas, taquitos, and fried calamari. Sounds good, but the platter was too expensive for the quality of food. The nachos were basically just half-melted cheese on a few chips, nothing special but tasted pretty good. The ceviche was okay, but didn't taste fresh at all. The empanadas were great, no issues there! The taquitos tasted decent but they came out incredibly soggy due to all the tomatoes and tomato juice all over them. Seemed like the whole platter was sitting there for a long time. Lastly, the fried calamari was a disaster. The breading tasted exactly like the crust on a whole wheat slice of bread. It wasn't light, salted, flavorful, nothing. All I could taste was that bread crust flavor. I couldn't tasted any squid at all. I wish I could recommend this restaurant to people because the service and atmosphere were great, but the food was nowhere near as good as it should be for the prices.
