Appetizer people, entree people, and dessert people. The world is filled with all 3 of them. If you happen to be of the app persuasion then you should think about swinging by Miguel’s (especially if you enjoy Mexican food).
Our Review Team for this visit reached consensus that we could have eaten only the chips, salsa, and warm queso and called it a night. While we didn’t exercise that level of restraint, we found it comforting to know that we could. Several of us marveled at the texture of the chips and how they seemed to achieve the perfect “crunch” factor.
If you try the warm queso and want to take things a step further, we’d recommend the “Pollo Asado Burrito” as it arrived at the table wearing it like a blanket. 😋
We found the portions to be universally generous which led to collective and spontaneous laughter when our server asked if any of us had saved room for dessert. Although many of the things he enticed us with sounded really good, there was just no way that was gonna happen unless he sat down and joined us.
For me the most enlightening portion of our review discussion focused on the beans. Apparently for many on our Review Team a good Mexican meal can be accurately forecasted by the quality of the beans. Our team found these to be “creamy” and flavorful and concluded that they tasted homemade. Who knew that for some the overall enjoyment of the meal is dependent upon the quality of the beans?
If there is something that makes or breaks a meal for you, we’d love to hear about it in the comments section below.
And that’s…Henry’s Take.
