La Fonda de San Miguel

$-$$, Mexican, Centro Histórico

User Rating: ***** 4.5

Fodor's Review:

La Fonda, in a former convent, is perhaps the Centro's most exceptional eatery. Innovative Mexican eats are presented in a soaring courtyard centered around a stone fountain and hung with a spectacular array of shining tin stars and folk art from Tlaquepaque and Tonalá. Relish the freshly made tortillas with the molcajete, a steaming stew of chicken, seafood, or beef that comes in a three-legged stone bowl. Camarones en mole (shrimp in mole) are good, too.

Surprise! A good tourist place.

The Molcajete is worth the trip. The service and everything else is okay.

Very good food, very good drinks and a beautiful colonial setting. Nothing very pretentious, full of history. Just right!
