Fonda San Miguel

A brunch at Austin’s Fonda San Miguel entails irresistibly tasty Mexican specialties such as enchiladas, burritos or huevos rancheros (fried eggs served upon tortillas with tomato sauce). But Fonda San Miguel flaunts an unparalleled colorful and zesty ambiance. This, in addition to the delicious food, makes it unusual in Austin and beyond. The magnificent entrance, with finely carved wooden doors, and a double frame of majolica with stone works is a down-right piece of art. Both the exterior and interior walls are painted with bright colors. Inside, lush plants and bouquets of flowers, fancy chandeliers, enchanting murals, and beautiful paintings that wouldn’t shame an art gallery are found in every corner. The best spot in the large venue is the central dining room filled with the light coming from the glass ceiling.
