La Posadita boasts one of the best restaurant locations in San Miguel. The views from its charming roof terrace, with the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel on one side and the surrounding hills and mountains just visible from the other, are a major part of its draw. Homely service accompanies the generous portions of Mexican fare which includes fajitas, stuffed chilies, and cochinita pibil – Yucatan-style shredded pork marinated with orange juice. Pozole, a homely broth beloved across Mexico and a cornerstone of the country’s food culture, is regularly available at weekends and well worth trying. Margaritas from the bar, including a tamarind-flavored twist on the classic recipe, are expertly made and uniformly well received, making La Posadita the perfect spot to unwind after a day’s sight-seeing.

Though La Posadita offers up-close views of La Parrochia, whose Gothic spires loom overhead, the popular dining spot also overlooks the rooftops, hills, and valleys below. Food-wise, you can get farm-to-table fare in the form of chilles rellenos and sopa de pollo, topped with chopped onions, cilantro, avocado, and crescents of lime. The frozen tamarind margarita is a tangy-sweet ode to tequila.
