La Fonda de San Miguel

La Fonda de San Miguel 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) is another good dish. There's often a pair of musicians playing on weekday afternoons, and a folkloric show at 9 pm Thursday through Saturday.

    Service was slow, but polite. While waiting for dinner we explored the second floor. This place has the reputation of being haunted, its history is intriguing and complex, reflecting Mexico's tumultuous past. Food was homestyle and tasty. The roast pork was savory and juicy. Someone ordered chicken and I thought it was a little dry. Better that than undercooked. The beef plates were delicious. Wine list was wanting.

    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!
