The Best Places For Cheap Eats In San Miguel De Allende, Mexico

A narrow doorway leads through to a small cafe on Mesones street, just past the square. The menu at Baja Fish Taquito boasts a wide variety of fish and seafood dishes, from tacos and tostadas to burritos and soups. Two cheap and delicious items on the menu are the tostada de ceviche and the taco de tilapia. You sit on bar stools at the counter or on small tables, and order until you’ve had enough. Women prepare ceviche right in front of you, chopping the tilapia, tomato and onion into fine cubes. The ceviche is loaded onto crispy tostadas topped with slices of avocado and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. The taco de tilapia is a soft corn tortilla with a long thin piece of battered and fried tilapia (a white fish), covered in chunky salsa, shredded white cabbage and homemade mayonnaise. There are a wide range of chili sauces to top your taco, but the best condiments on offer are the homemade guacamole and the spicy mayonnaise, served in squeezy bottles. The food here is incredibly fresh, for when you need a change from the meaty tacos at the taco van.
