Los Milagros

Los Milagros sits on Calle Zacateros in San Miguel de Allende, a colorfully tiled, casual seafood spot serving Pacific-coast style dishes despite the town's landlocked, high-desert location. The kitchen brings in fish and shellfish daily to plate aguachile, fish tacos and a mixed ceviche that draw comparisons to coastal Mexican seafood shacks. There is no chef-driven tasting menu here; the appeal is fresh, straightforward preparations at accessible prices, popular with both locals and travelers looking for a break from heavier Mexican fare. The dining room is bright and casually decorated with colorful tile work, and there is a small streetside terrace for outdoor seating on Zacateros, a lively pedestrian corridor lined with shops and cafes. Noise levels stay lively and conversational, especially during lunch and early dinner. The drinks list keeps things simple with beer, michelada and a handful of classic cocktails rather than an extensive wine program, in keeping with the casual seafood-shack concept. Reservations are not usually necessary, though the small dining room can fill during peak lunch hours on weekends.
