    Our experience tonight was great. Although we had a reservation, we got in right away as we were a little early.

    The food was cold. The plates were hot but not the food. Our service was great but the four of us all said the same thing about the food being cold.

    We arrived early but it wasn’t a problem. They helped my mom with her walker and mobility issues. Two of us had the calamari wrapped poblano which was awesome. My husband had the el jefe platter and he loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly and he loved the green chili tamale. It was my mom’s 91st birthday and she received a fried ice cream as a gift. She loved it!

    We throughly enjoyed our dinner at Miguel’s. I think they revamped the menu from the last time I was there, an improvement! The service was excellent.

    Reliably good food and margaritas at reasonable prices especially for Old Town. We had a table opposite a fireplace on the patio, which was special. Server was attentive and food arrived quickly. There is a small parking lot in the back.
