Taqueria San Miguel — Restaurant in Cathedral City

We're always on the lookout for fine, authentic Mexican cooking, and San Miguel really is a great find. Someone from the El Salvador Cafe in PS actually recommended San Miguel as a place to get "REAL" Mexican food, and she was right. Most of the customers are Mexican, which is a clue in itself. We tried the filet Veracruz, albondigas, and chiles rellenos. All were superb and freshly prepared. Service is outstanding with everyone chipping in as needed to make sure everyone is taken care of. Adult beverages are also fantastic. We had a "French martini" and a chamoyada de mezcal. The mezcal was toned perfectly with lime juice and served up in a seasoned cucumber shell (!) along with a rimmed shot glass full. SO good. We didn't come for salsa and chips, but you should know that their salsa is some of the best we've ever found. They use plenty of cilantro and just enough heat. We went on a Sunday evening, and there was live entertainment at the bar, so we availed ourselves of that. If you're looking for really authentic Mexican food, not just tacos and beer, you must try San Miguel. Arguable the best Mexican food in the...

I was skeptical, but we decided to go. We show up and at first view, all good, good music, not too busy. I ordered a Patron Margarita, and it was good. So then since I was not too hungry I decided to get half a dozen oysters. They arrive, and they are the scariest looking oysters I had ever seen. They were tiny and even a little dry. Needless to say, I didn't eat them AT ALL... didn't want to try. So I just decide to hang out, since the people I accompanied were still eating their food. Out of nowhere I see a cockaroach walking under the table next to us. A big one, the type that crunch when you step on them. I lift my feet onto the booth infront of me, since I hate them, and my jeans on the knee part get gum stuck on them. I was laughing because I was having a horrible experience. Suddenly I see another table call for the waitress discreetely, and she gets a broom and dust pan. Sure enough, a cockaroach... but smaller than the one we had originally seen. We decided to pay and judt walk away. Honestly, if it wasnt for the amazing team, whose customer service skills are amazing, I would be...

I used to come here religiously. Their quality of food has lessen. When you sit down you have a busser offer food and appetizers. But you cannot order anything else with them. Nothing at all. Because the premadonna servers are the only ones allowed to take orders. It's obsurd. I was annoyed at the fact that our server was not a good server. When I ordered my daughter a fruit cocktail the server said oh its not a cocktail it's a fruit cup. When we received it, it was the preserved fruit from the can! With 2 Marchinno cherries from the bar! It was embarrassing and to top it off.... the server wanted to have a back and forth about his description of the fruit cup! Very low class! And they still charged me! I did not mind paying our $88 check I left an $18 tip and I will never return! Also just because I'm of Hispanic race the server did not serve me as they did other table (a white couple) I will not ever go...
