We go to miguels all the time. This time it seemed like it really went down hill. We were inside because it's really cold however the doors were open so we were all freezing. The service was exceptionally slow. The food seemed mid. My spicy pineapple margarita was not spicy at all. Our chips were super greasy! I'm really disappointed

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!

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.
