Fonda San Miguel - The Best Mexican Food I've EVER Eaten

Fonda San Miguel was founded in November 1975, in Austin as one of the first restaurant's in the United States to serve exclusively the Cuisines of Mexico (drawing on seven various regional cuisines in Mexico).

It features classic Mexican cuisine prepared with authentic recipes and numerous ingredients from the restaurant’s on-site organic garden.

Appetizer:

Guacamole

A great recipe combining avocados, tomato, onion, cilantro, serrano chili's, and lime juice.






Main Dish:

Cochinta Pibil

This is a traditional pork barbecue of the Yucatan Peninsula, where for centuries it has been cooked in pits lined with hot stones and banana leaves.

The pork is basted in an achiote rub, and cooked inside a banana leaf. It is served with 2 sauces. A chipolte sauce and a creamy habanero almond sauce which is truly remarkable. It is served with rice and beans, and corn tortillas.

This is an amazing dish - and a great recommendation from the bartender.

Drink:

Silver Coin Margarita:
1.5 Oz of Watermelon Infused Tequila (Made from half of a 12 lb Watermelon and a 1 liter bottle of Patron Silver)
3/4 Oz of Cointrreau
1/3 Oz fresh Lime Juice

This may not be for everyone - but I though this was fantastic. My new favorite Margarita.





In my travels, there are two types of food I pride myself on sampling. Barbeque and Mexican.

This was the Best Authentic Mexican food I have ever eaten.
