"Going out for Mexican food can be tricky when you’re trying to avoid meat products—even the beans and rice can sometimes be off-limits. Which is what makes Fonda San Miguel’s “de la tierra” section that much more helpful. With over half a dozen entrees that are all meat, dairy, and gluten-free, the menu here can accommodate a wide range of diets. Excluding, perhaps, that friend of yours who only eats wind-dried Norwegian kelp. For everyone else, there’s Fonda San Miguel. As a bonus, just about everyone can enjoy a refreshing watermelon margarita together." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
