Hard to believe some reviewers found this place to be average. Both the food and interiors were amazing. Among our meal selection was a tasty salmon carpaccio exectued with a uniquely distinctive flavor. We also had tacos which were traditional and modern at the same time; traditional in presentation but modern in composition. Juan Carlos the owner couldn't have been... More

Excelent food but we had to leave early because we could not stand the cigarrete smoke of the near by tables.

This was one of our most expensive meals in Mexico, but was lovely. We were a party of 10 and were accommodated without a prior booking. We ordered a selection of food for sharing, including a large whole fish. The food was tasty and varied. It had an unusually large wine selection, although they ran out of the one we... More

The place is ok, but not really attractive. The drinks were good, but the food I had, shrimps, was not a total success. Tasteless, very small, more than well done, they were almost hard. Will not recommend this place.

We love Pescau as it was one of the first restaurants we visited upon moving to san Miguel 7 months ago. It continues to be one of our favorites. We love the fish tacos, fish soup, clam chowder and drinks. The bar is one of the most beautiful in town especially at night.

We visited Pescau twice during a two week vacation to San Miguel. Everything was just about perfect during our first dining experience there. The atmosphere was upscale, the service was prompt and pleasant, our meals were presented in an attractive fashion, and the price was modest. It was such a fine dining experience that we went back again several days... More

Dropped into Pescau a couple of times mid-afternoon, once a couple of us at the bar, the other a few of us at a table. Had various plates of seafood which we loved. My favourite was the smoked fish. Staff seemed keen. Prices were decent. Love the bright and airy room. I'll certainly go back again.

I was beginning to think we were too far from the ocean to find great seafood in San Miguel. Thank goodness for Pescau. The dinning room has grand proportions with a huge bar running the full length. Good service and even better food. The menu has options for a budget meal or the full Monty it's up to you. Don't... More

Pescau Del Mar, Jesus 21, San Miguel de Allende (SMA), Gto., tel. 415-152-8800, web: www.pescau.com. We looked at the name “pescau” and thought it would be a Portuguese restaurant. Evidently the word “pescau” is used in the southern part of Mexico and means fish. The style of cooking the fish at Pescau Del Mar is, confusingly, from north Mexico. The... More

Perhaps, it can be explained that it was just after thanksgiving but Pescau was sorely disappointing. Noisy, smokey and food was indelible. A curried shrimp and octopus dish lacked any significant curry flavor and was served over mushy rice bathed in an undescribable "cream"sauce. Appetizers and salads fared no better. Drinks were weak and unexciting.
