Review Bar San Miguel - Brooklyn

The place has a nice atmosphere and great service. The tuna ceviche taquitos were a real surprise, very interesting and lots of flavor. The nachos were great, but the chorizo was a little dry and could have had a few more pickled jalapenos. For nachos that have cheesy in the name there wasn't a lot of cheese. The pork carnitas were very flavorful, although also a bit dry. Definitely would return to try other menu items.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Brooklyn!! The food, service and cocktails are just impeccable. I had the short rib tacos last time I was here and they were tender and perfectly seasoned. Another must have is the flan… just perfect! I’ve been coming here for about a year now and this place never ceases to amaze me. They are always consistent with the food as well as the warm and attentive service. If you’re looking for a game-changing drink, order the mezcal verde! Devine!!!

I came here for brunch and stuffed myself silly. My bartender was so nice, and the food was phenomenal. I got the mixtos tostadas, flan for dessert, and a green juice mezcal cocktail. It’s airy and cute, and the kind of spot I wish I had in my own neighborhood. I hope to visit again soon next time I’m in town.

This is the perfect spot for any occasion. They have indoor and outdoor (back patio) seating. The food was amazing. We tried the guacamole, shrimp tacos, tuna taquitos, Short rib quesadilla, al pastor tacos, miso cod, & churros. Everything I ate was so flavorful!!!! My friend said the al pastor tacos lacked flavor and had a strange consistency but I did not try them for myself (I do not eat red meat or pork). The grilled shrimp tacos were the perfect bite. Similarly, the tuna taquitos were packed with flavor and a lingering heat. I could eat the miso cod meal every day. It came with a Cranberry, cauliflower, & black truffle risotto (which sounds weird but was so tasty). It was a fantastic dinner plate. The churros!! So good!!! Typically when you dine out, churros can be either too dry or too greasy. These were simply perfect. They were filled with caramel and came with a chocolate dipping sauce. Chef's kiss. The pomegranate mezcalita is the best drink here, hands down! We will be back!

This place has the best vibe and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious! I had one of the most inventive tequila cocktails I’ve ever had! What a great addition to the neighborhood, I will be coming back again and again. I have a feeling this will become a new go-to for me! The staff was also incredibly friendly and added to the atmosphere in a major way. Such a cozy awesome spot!

Everything was good. Everything was filled with flavor. The service was great at the bar. The ambiance makes you feel like you can sit there all night. If you sit in the front of the restaurant near the entrance it can be loud b/c it’s New York City. I also had a quesadilla which was so good I started eating it before I took a photo. 10/10 would highly HIGHLY recommend!

We came on a rainy night with no reservations so we got seats in the backyard patio which is actually just as cute if not cuter than indoors, and it’s covered. The drinks are good here. I had the Blackberry bliss. The food was ok (had shrimp tacos) … — guac and chips were good though.

About 6 months or so ago, friends of mine told me that Bar San Miguel had switched owners and improved immeasurably. We made a plan to go and try the revised menu and drink offerings and I wasn’t disappointed! Within 10 seconds of walking through the door we were greeted by a smiling young guy in glasses that welcomed us warmly and took us to a cozy table in the backyard. It’s adorable!! We were given menus, brought water and asked our waiter for a few minutes to decide. Our outing was celebratory in nature so we all had a margarita to start. DAMN, These things are GOOD!!! Not too sweet with a nice balance of tequila to fresh lime juice, YUM. We made up or minds on individual dishes and called our waiter over. In the meantime before our mains we grabbed some Chips & Guacamole which comes in mild or spicy. We chose spicy and we were all very happy. The table ordered: Yuca Fries, Fish Tacos, Steak Quesadillas, Short Rib Tacos and A Caesar Salad. The food started coming out of the kitchen pretty quickly and we all gazed at one another’s dishes hoping that the food would be as good the margaritas were. WOW!! You know how you can always tell when people like what they’ve ordered?? The conversation comes to a stand still. We were taking bites of each other’s mains by passing our plates clockwise and it wasn’t long until we had devoured it all. The Yuca Fries were gone in seconds! The Fish Tacos were lightly fried and topped with pickled onions, chipotle mayo and greens. The Steak in the Quesadilla was grilled and had onion with Pecorino Cheese. The Short Ribs in the Tacos were braised perfectly and served with the braising liquid. The Caesar came with Grilled Chicken, Crispy Tortilla Strips, Avocado and Radish and balanced nicely with the Caesar Dressing. We ALL decided to order another drink and happily found that the second was just as good and consistent as the first. We all left there SO happy! It was a GREAT birthday indeed. Hands down Bar San Miguel has improved unequivocally. I’m not sure who the new owner is but they along with the professional and welcoming staff, made a lasting impression on our group that evening. This is 1 of my new spots and I couldn’t be happier. Cheers 🍾 to a job well done!

I stopped for brunch. The place felt cozy right away as the staff gives a warm welcome at this restaurant with a very strong atmosphere. The food was great, the empanada dough crispy and the meat inside juicy. The filled chili likewise had a nice fried crisp exterior and a veggie loaded inside. The short rib tacos were juicy and tender, on the smaller side, but still filling with a side of yucca fries. A great neighborhood finding. I'm looking forward to trying more things, and their dessert. It's gotten really popular lately, so get ready for a noisy space and I recommend making a reservation.

Very nice and inviting spot with so many tasty dishes - the octopus & chorizo tacos are my favorite. The backyard is lovely and covered.
