My wife and I had lunch at Miguel’s Cantina in Coronado back on February 11 of this year. We had an amazing lunch on the outdoor patio which is covered in vines and greenery. The food was wonderful, the setting was great, the weather of the day was spectacular. However, on top of the food, the setting, the great day,... More

We had two meals here as we stayed at the El Cordova and it was literally steps from our room. We very much enjoyed the chips, salsa and queso that are provided as soon as you are seated. I also asked for a recommendation for a margarita that would not be overly sweet as I'm picky about them and had... More

The atmosphere here is great. The raspberry mojitos are amazing! The food is just so-so. It's American/Mexican food. The service was good and their white sauce is to die for! If you don't want Mexican food, I still recommend going just for the white sauce. :)

Ok, my dinner was pretty good. The staff was polite and cheerful. The ambience is awesome. Right across from the Dell, near shops and the patio is great. But the last two times I have eaten there, I have been pretty much ignored. It feels like the are about 15 percent above their capacity to provide good service. Both times... More

A nice spot on Coronado with pleasant atmosphere. The sirloin with tamale was good but the rice was very so-so. The appetizer of cheese quesadilla was terribly bland and not worth it. Do not get it. A delicious Sangria was made and the Passionfruit tea was excellent. Service was very efficient. This was a close call between an average rating... More

We really enjoyed the chips! We were almost immediately seated and they brought chips and white spicy cheese as soon as we sat down. The waiter was really knowledgeable about the food and gave great recommendations. Really good casual dining with normal $10-$15 plates.

Service was very slow. Dinners were just ok. 4 of us, nobody too excited about what they got. We thought it pricey for mediocre mexican food.

My husband and I were looking forward to having dinner here due to the reviews. I have to say we were disappointed. I ordered their enchiladas and was not impressed. Their prices were fair, but the taste, not so much.

We ate at Miguel's Cocina in Old Town on San Diego Avenue near the San Diego Historic Park (Heritage Park/Presido Hills Area). It was such good food that our family ate there twice in one week! The chips and salsa were AWESOME. The Nachos were AMAZING! Even a "plain" taco had great flavor - lots of cilatro and seasoning. I... More

By far the best Mexican Restaurant in Southern California. If you want great food at a reasonable price. I would encourage you to eat at Miquel's Cocina. There are six locations in San Diego. Great Mexican food with a little seafood touch. Walking in to the Restaurant is like walking across the boarder in to Mexico. Loved it.. Ken Licari,... More
