La Posadita

The restaurant has a great setting on the third floor across the street from La Parrochia (and some of the tables have great views. The menu is fairly typical for a Mexican restaurant, but what they do, they do well.
We come here at least once every year that we are in SMA

I had pretty low expectations for this place considering the close proximity to the tourisy stuff and the mixed reviews… but we were pleasantly surprised with what we got! Let me start by saying I grew up on the border so it takes A LOT to make me happy in regards to Mexican food. La Posadita easily had some of the best pozole verde I have ever had! It was served with a wide array of toppings (avocado, oregano, fresh chopped peppers, onions, dried red peppers, lime etc) and yummy chicharones. I ate the entire thing and dont feel bad about it. My boyfriend had the chicken in peanut sauce which he also gobbled up in its entirety. I will say though… the servers were friendly but service itself was kind of spotty. Our tamarindo margaritas were just okay so probably stick to wine or beer.
All and all we enjoyed the food and left full and happy!

Food was really good! Pozole verde is the best and enchiladas verdes were awesome! It was a busy night so service not as great, no napkins or utensils given until we asked for them, hence 4 stars, but do not doubt the food.

Why can’t the places with the best views get their act together and offer great service and food as well? We were excited about going here because we had been many years back and remembered the excellent view. Overall it was very disappointing though.
The décor is quite cheesy and the food is overpriced for the mediocracy. The best thing was the salsa at the beginning of the meal actually. We had one very nice waiter but he was intermittent with another waiter whose only words to us was «Goodbye» when we were leaving. Our food also came out slightly cold and quite boring overall. Save yourself the effort and go to another good spot.

The place has a great view of the parroquia in town but this is really all it has going for it. The waiters spoke no English and they only had a single English menu in the entire restaurant. It was so old and sticky that the pages were coming apart. Food was average at best. There’s lots of other quality places in SMA.

Best rooftop restaurant for the $$ in San Miguel. Quaint place with beautiful views of the city and incredible scenery, the food was very good as well. We went for lunch & I asked for beef tacos which weren’t on the menu. My wife and I shared because we were already full from the tasty tostadas and salsa verde. They were really good, made with chopped skirt steak served with cilantro, red onion, corn tortillas and guacamole. The margaritas were very good as well, not too sweet, but with plenty tequila. Very attentive servers. We have added La Posadita to our short list of places to go for lunch in San Miguel.

Great views of the city. Homemade chips and green and red salsa arrive when seated. Full bar and standard Mexican wine list with a few interesting choices on it. Very good Pasole came with chopped raw onion, jalapeños, dried chiles, oregano, lime, and avocado, so you can doctor it up to your liking. We stuck to Mexican options all night. Very tasty ant eggs and grasshoppers came with corn and flour tortillas, and made into tacos. Ant eggs taste like butter and grasshoppers like salt so we recommend trying them as they are very flavorful.
House specialty is enchiladas verdes and they are very good too. Attentive service and amiable waiters all around.

Went there on my last night in San Miguel. The view from the restaurant is spectacular! Service was good, and food was delicious! Everyone at our table was very happy with their meals — I think all of us cleaned our plates. We started with guacamole — very fresh, though not as flavourful as some of the other restaurants in the city. Our mains were well prepared and enjoyed by all — I had the chicken enchiladas mole — rich and tasty. Margaritas were delicious. I would certainly recommend to anyone visiting San Miguel!

Pintoresco restaurante con bonita terraza desde donde se ven los tejados de San Miguel de Allende. Muy cerca de la catedral. Pedí unas enchiladas al portal muy ricas pero lo mejor es la experiencia de la terraza.

Sábado de Gloria, estaba en mi casa aburrida, así que les dije a mis hermanas que si nos íbamos a comer a Guanajuato, todas me dijeron que si, tomamos la carretera rumbo a la capital del estado, entrando vimos el letrero que decía San miguel de allende, volteo a ver a una de mis hermanas y le dijo, «como vez nos lanzamos de una vez hasta allá?» y ella ni tarde ni perezosa me contesta que si… VAMONOS.
Llegamos a San Miguel de Allende, fue un problema eso del estacionamiento, ya que el pueblo es muy visitado, eran las 4 de la tarde y moríamos de hambre, decidimos ir a Hecho en México, había fila de comensales esperando turno, así como este varios restaurantes, ya sabes los más conocidos, seguimos caminando hasta llegar al centro, en eso mi madre recordó un lugar el cual ella visitaba seguido en el tiempo que vivió en San Miguel.
Llegamos a la POSADITA… súper tranquilo solo había cuatro mesas ocupadas, así que decidimos quedarnos, elegimos área de no fumar y en la terraza, llega el mesero nos deja las cartas, mi madre estaba indecisa en que pedir, se acerca el capitán de meseros y muy amablemente le dice que si le puede hacer una recomendación, ella accede, le recomienda el chamarro y ella acepta la propuesta, yo me decido por la sopa azteca, mi hermana por tacos de camarón, y carpaccio de salmón, todos los platillos deliciosos pero el chamarro se llevo la tarde.
Si andas por San Miguel y quieres algo diferente te recomiendo mil este lugar, ya que en el primer piso tienen la zona de bar, y el ambiente se pone súper bueno, y si quieres ir a cenar te recomiendo que reserves ya que de noche es muy visitado. Atrévete y conócelo!!! :D

Encontré este lugar cuando estaba en busca de algun lugar rico Mexicano que no fuera El correo. Llegué aquí y la verdad me gusto mucho. Me encantó la vista, sus micheladas y las enchiladas que me comí. Muy recomendable.

Just into town and were quite hungry. This place had decent reviews and was not too far away. It was a cold and windy evening and the staff did their best to keep us comfortable with heaters and such. The view was AMAZING.
We were started with complimentary chips and salsa. Salsas were both pretty good; the chips could have been pulled from a bag, except they were overly oily– reminded me of mediocre chips at a restaurant in the states.
We ordered cochinita pibil and posole verde along with some grilled vegetables. The veggies were flavorful and done nicely and the accompanying cheese was pleasant.
The posole? Clumps of white meat chicken which was as flavorless as the overly salty and uninspiring broth. The posole kernels were way overcooked.
The cochinita pibil seemed like it was cooked in a slow cooker and was not tender and moist as one would expect. Additionally, the pork was heavily sauced, enough so that is would not have been possible to taste the subtleties of the dish if they were even present. I must say that the two main dishes were the worst examples of posole and cochinita we’ve had in Mexico.
In short, if you are into food, don’t bother going here.
Caveat, we are very experienced Mexican foodies, well traveled. Have eaten these dishes in multiple settings over the last 20 years and know what the dishes can be. These didn’t taste bad. But for the money… or for a whole lot less money, you can do better.

We have been coming to San Miguel for 14 years. Unfortunately, we didn’t discover this restaurant until last year. Since then, we have been to La Posadita many times and the food is consistently delicious. The staff is professional and attentive, and the views from the dining area are spectacular. We think this is by far one of the best restaurants in San Miguel.

Nice views– no doubt. However, service is spotty with some waiters having an attitude– which is rather unusual around here.
Food is good but it is on the pricier side.

Wonderful view and excellent posole. I send all newcomers to San Miguel here. Prices have gone up a lot lately but we still like it. Good margaritas! Some complain about slow service.
