Beginning with a few classic recipes culled from our chef’s family and friends, the menu captured the true spirit of Mexico. And its authentic style drew a loyal following of those in search of Sonoran grilled swordfish tacos, sizzling sirloin fajitas, and spicy rich chicken mole.Over three decades, our signature friendly service and festive decor have made Miguel’s a San Diego tradition for locals and visitors alike. Our commitment to artisan cuisine has only grown stronger. That means handmade tortillas, fresh salsas, and colorful crispy chips made daily right in our kitchen. Of course, there’s our decadent, must-have jalapeño white sauce, occasionally referred to as white gold by regulars, and craved up and down the coast.We invite you to stop in. Enjoy a refreshing hand-shaken margarita and a genuine, mouthwatering Mexican meal. Lets celebrate what we hope will be your first of many, many visits.

    Truly one of the finest dining establishments in all of San Diego. The fact that it is in the heart of the most vibrant community SD has (Little Italy) puts this place over the top. Whether its an intimate date or a corporate Christmas Dinner (like we hosted last night), this place is always the perfect option. Food is 5 stars, ambiance is too! See you soon Barbusa!

    Simply lovely little place, beautiful ambiance for the holidays with white lights and greenery, classy, European vibe. We ordered all of the bruschetta options, the cheese board, pizzas, lobster ravioli, the chef's special, filet mignon, wine, and most of the desserts for a holiday company dinner. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented, and our server was attentive and thoughtful. It can get a little loud and difficult to hear when the tables are full, but otherwise it was cozy even at a long dining table, and exactly what I hoped for when I booked the reservation. We will be back, thank you!

    It was AMAZING from START to FINISH!!! It's a great little restaurant, tucked away in some nice, new apartment complex in Mission Valley. HOWEVER, it is on the side, and has its own parking. WE FOUND PARKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE RESTAURANT!!! We were warmly greeted by a friendly woman, and taken to a nice, large table!!! It was perfect because we were going to order lots of food. I especially knew about the pizza, After sitting down, our waitress, HUNTER, who was superb in every sense of the word, came up to the table. She began with drink orders, then appetizers and entrees!!! She recommended the pizza be extra crispy, AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! As for my partner, he had the Grilled Chicken Sandwich!!! When it came time for the dessert, HUNTER even brought it out with a CANDLE on it!!! It could not have been a better lunch!!!!
