The most beloved rooftop restaurant for traditional Mexican cuisine — enchiladas mineras, chiles en nogada, and escamole with guacamole on a terrace overlooking the Parroquia. Best at sunset; book a window table.
Why It Belongs on the List
La Posadita is the most atmospheric place in San Miguel to eat traditional Mexican food — a rooftop terrace looking directly at the illuminated Parroquia, serving the genuine regional classics: enchiladas mineras (the city's signature dish, fried tortillas in guajillo sauce), chiles en nogada when in season (August–September), escamole (ant larvae — a pre-Columbian delicacy) with warm tortillas, and excellent margaritas. The low lighting and Parroquia view at night create one of the most evocative dining settings in Mexico. Book a table on the terrace.
