Every new restaurant, if it's any good, is busy in the beginning. Miguel's has been open for several months now, and they're still packed all the time. We tried them on a Friday night. There was a 45 minute wait, so we opted for open seating in the bar area. We had a nice table in the corner where we could watch all the action, and we didn't have to wait.
They have a wonderful regular menu, but since we were there during Happy Hour (3-6:30 M-F), we chose items from the Happy Hour menu. There was lots to choose from. We ordered way too much. We started with drinks. A sangria for Ron and a blended margheritta for me. I couldn't taste much alcohol in my drink, but it was good anyway. We were soon brought a basket of warm chips with two different salsas. One was the traditional red salsa. The other was a thin cheese sauce spiced with jalepenos. Yum. For dinner we had the following, and again I must say we ordered way too much. A chicken quesedilla was huge, loaded with chicken and cheese. I took two slices home. Next we had 2 tamales, one stuffed with cheese, the other filled with shredded pork. I also ordered queso fundido, which is a skillet filled with melted cheese, with a side of warm tortillas. Spread the gooey, melted cheese on the tortilla for a little bit of heaven. Finally, we ordered a fish taco. It's the same taco that is served at The Brigantine and is one of the best in town. I was so full I couldn't eat the taco, so that came home too. The entire meal was $34, with two drinks and all that food. We should have ordered at least one less item.
Miguel's is a winner. Good service, excellent food, and a comfortable restaurant make for a winning combination. They do take reservations for large parties, but if you're just 2 or 4, try sitting in the bar. It's extremely comfortable. Also, go during the week if possible. It's much less crowded and you'll get the same great food. I know we'll be there soon again.
