Tostévere

We loved Tostévere so much when we tried it, we went back the following night! Despite reservations being filled up, we were able to sit at the bar. The tostadas are all unique and delicious but the roasted vegetable plate was divine! The fig/balsamic ice cream dessert was also amazing. Of all the places in SMA that we tried, this one definitely needs an advanced booking as they are a relatively small space. It is a must-visit for sure!

One of the most delicious and delightful meals of my trip to San Miguel, several towns in Mexico, and of my life! I was walking by one of my first nights in town and it seemed like a great vibe coming from inside. I saw that the reviews were great, so booked myself for a seat for 1 at the bar the next night. The bartender Jonathan was excellent and made some of the best cocktails I've ever had. He suggested the Tuna & Avocado and Braised Shortrib with Provolone tostadas, and they were phenomenal. Perfect amount of food for one person. Dessert was a delicious glass of wine from the Ensenada, Baja area and it was a perfect night cap. Can not wait to be back in town for another round at Tostevere!

Dining at Tostevere was nothing short of extraordinary. From the very first bite, it was clear this wasn’t just a meal — it was an experience. Every dish was thoughtfully composed, beautifully presented, and absolutely bursting with flavor. Honestly, some of the best food I’ve ever had in San Miguel de Allende. The creativity, balance, and execution of the menu are on another level. Each plate felt intentional and memorable, the kind of food that makes you pause mid-bite just to appreciate how good it is. This is the kind of place you talk about long after you’ve left the city. And a special shout-out to Jonathan, who may very well be one of the best bartenders I’ve ever encountered. His cocktails were flawless — inventive, perfectly balanced, and clearly crafted with real passion and expertise. Beyond that, his warmth and hospitality elevated the entire evening. Service like that stays with you. If you’re lucky enough to snag a reservation at Tostevere, consider yourself fortunate. This is a once-in-a-while dining experience — the kind you never forget and immediately want to relive. Absolute perfection from start to finish. Do not miss this place.

We stopped by before the dinner without reservations for an early dinner and we are glad we did. Probably one of the top 2 meals we had in San Miguel over the 5 days we visited. The salmon and fig pizza was amazing. The drinks are also some of the best we had.

Tostévere is so good! And very cool atmosphere. It’s small and intimate, with the menu handwritten. We went for dinner and had the sweet potato fried, roasted vegetable, and three tostadas: truffled esquites, roasted cauliflower, and seared tuna & avocado. The tostadas were all so good it was hard to pic a favorite. We loved it so much we made a reservation for lunch a few days later! The cocktails are very good too! Highly recommend, and also recommend making a reservation since the place is so small and popular!

We came here during our honeymoon as it was recommended to us by a friend. It was perfect! The bartender, Anibal, was super kind and treated us to a drink each as a courtesy for our celebration, the food was spectacular, and I the decor was unique. This will be our first stop for future trips to SMA!

This was such a great dining experience, the service was excellent. We would highly recommend the soft shell crab wrap, octopus tostada, the beef stew tostada and the banana and ice cream dessert was TO DIE FOR. A must-go if you come here, you won’t be disappointed!

Sooooo Good!! What a cool spot…staff are great but the food is amazing. Have to try this place, we came twice during a 4 day visit to SMA. Try anything on menu, there are no disappointments.

Beets salad was amazing good,it had smokey flavor with the goat cheese and basil...yummm

One of the best restaurants I ate at in Mexico! The food was so fresh and delicious! The atmosphere was not one of the rooftop terraces as common in this town, but rather the ground floor and still cozy and cute. We got one of the mezcal cocktails which was topped with egg white foam and was the best mezcal cocktail I had potentially ever? The tostadas are to die for! We got the cauliflower one as well as the octopus one and they were so flavorful and just overall the best! Must try in San Miguel!

This is our favorite place in San Miguel! A very small restaurant that I recommend making a reservation for- service is so friendly! Because the area is so small, it creates an intimate feeling. We tried 3 different tostadas (one with steak, other tuna and the other one was recommended by the waiter) we ate all of it and were almost licking the plate. Some of the options come as sandwiches as well that we did not get to try unfortunately. We absolutely recommend this to anyone, the drinks were just as delicious as well!

Local restaurant with amazing Tostadas, salads, sweet potato fries and so many other delicious options. As for drinks, the basil sour is so yummy! Cute place, close to a major street, the Ancha, and not far from Parque Juarez.

Unbelievable!!! This place is worth traveling from across the world to visit. Unbelievable flavors and fresh, inventive ideas. Some of the best food I've ever had. It is small so make a reservation. You will not regret it!

We needed a quick snack to tide us over between events and found Tostevere on Yelp. What an amazing find! The short rib tostada was outstanding. The sweet potato fries were tasty as well. We sat at the bar and the bartender was friendly and quick. Just what we needed. Would definitely go back to enjoy a full meal. Highly recommend!

Amazing gem! We came at 3pm on a Saturday and luckily snagged a spot at the bar. If you have a big group you'll need to get a reservation in advance as the place is really tiny and popular. Everything was so tasty, including the drinks. FOOD - Soft shell crab wrap - Shrimp tempura taco - Peruvian ceviche tostada - Sirloin and melted cheese tostada DRINKS - Passionfruit margarita - Basil sour

Definitely the best meal I had in SM, at any price point. I had a list of restaurants to try during my month here and this was at the top of the list. And I was not disappointed. The menu is pretty small, and they seem to specialize in tostados, I had memorized the menu before I got there so I was ready haha. I started with the roasted beet salad, which was amazing. Warm roasted beets, toasted nuts (pine nuts?), greens, cheese (goat cheese?). So good. Followed it up with a grilled octopus and then seared tuna and avocado tostados. They were amazing as well. Figured I had to try the Black Mambo drink, which didn't disappoint. I will be back in SM next month and will make sure to return to Tostevere!

Great drinks and tostadas that are sized and priced right for sharing and trying multiple options. Not a dud among the four dishes I sampled/shared. Not too many tables so probably best for couples or very small groups. My two friends and I ate at the bar and had a wonderful experience.

Everything is wonderful! A beautiful gem!! The quality of the food and the quaint atmosphere are the best!

We were fortunate that our friend booked this place in advance. It is a tiny place that specializes in tostadas. The host was very affable and giggled all night. He was such a cheerful man. Most importantly the food was amazing! I've never had tostadas like this before and I've lived in California. The roast beet salad - superb! The grilled vegetables. Short rib, octopus and tuna avocado tostadas - were all delicious! Portions are generous!

This little neighborhood bar is SO cool. They don't have many tables (reservations recommended) but their food is outstanding. Their drinks are also incredible.

Best Meal I have had in San Miguel. Go with a big appetite so that you can try as many of the amazing things on the menu as you can. Lychee martini and passion fruit margaritas were insane. Every tostada was incredible. Service was amazing. I had originally called to try to get a reservation for a group of 9. They told me they had no availability, but that they would call me if something opened up. I am so grateful they called and squeezed us in because it was a truly incredible experience. If you can get a table, this restaurant is a must.

This is a small super quaint restaurant with excellent food and service Almost everything on the menu is grilled and good portions, so sharing is a good idea. Ingredients were fresh and presentation was stellar. I don't eat beets but what ever they did to this roasted vegetable plate was amazing. The soft crab taco was so good, and the sauce that accompanied it was so delish. No disappointments here!!

Dining at Tostevere was such a wonderful experience. My friend and I were visiting San Miguel for a few days and wanted to find a casual spot to grab a bite to eat. It's a small intimate space, but adorable and I appreciated the little nook in the corner that had cookbooks on display. (They had the Franklin BBQ book, so it was nice to see a little bit of home here.) We didn't have a reservation but walked in sometime before 8pm and had no issues getting a table. There were a few folks sitting at the bar and others already dining, so it was a good sign that people were enjoying the food end experience. Everything on the menu sounded great. I got the tuna tostada and my friend ordered the taco tatemado de camarón tempura and the tostada de esquites entrufados, but we shared that one and sweet potato fries. It was plenty for two, and we likely didn't need the fries. Prices were affordable and it was also a pleasant surprise that they took credit cards. If you're looking for a delicious, no frills dinner, look no further.

The food was great and the staff equally as fabulous. It has a very limited smile menu and the venue itself is extremely small, maybe 30 people at the same time. Make sure to get a reservation. Their food is fresh and delicious. We enjoyed every sumptuous bite plan ahead and get on over there!

Everything perfection here! People, food, drinks, ambiance. Reservations recommended!

Small but charming restaurant in SMA. Incredible food. Incredible cocktails. Great service even at the bar. Make reservations, one day in advance only a couple of bar seats were open. Still a great place to eat and watch the bartender create her magic.

SMA is filled with restaurants that are heavy on style (decor, vibes) and meh on substance (the actual food). Thankfully, tostevere is not one of those insta traps! Every single dish and drink we had here was amazing. Special shout outs to the the corn/truffle tostada and the soft shell crab taco! Space is limited so try to get a reservation ahead of time if you can!

Made a reservation here a month in advance only to arrive and they had given our table away. They said it was because we were late but the people they sat at our table were already being served. If you decide to reserve here make sure you have a backup plan as it was tough to get reseated as a family of 5 with a baby.

This was by far my favorite place in San Miguel. I stumbled into this place after looking on Yelp, and I'm SO glad I did. The prices are AMAZING! And the food is even better. I had one of the best cocktails of my life there (and it was like $7 by US standards). I will be back because there is more food I didn't get to try! The restaurant is really small, so the best time to go is around 2:00-3:00 when it's still quiet. There are several bar seats and probably..... 8 tables? I was always seated immediately when I came in the afternoon. I went a couple times....

This was right around the corner of our Airbnb. It is a cute small restaurant with a bar. Carajillo- Wow this drink blew my mind its belongs in a fancy top rated bar drink taste is excellent!! one of the best coffee alcoholic beverages I have had. Ordered shrimp tempura taco, roasted beet salad, truffle esquite tostada, sirloin steak cheese tostada.

Ambience. A Service. A Food/ Drinks. A Price. A What a great Little space for Fab bespoke foods and handcrafted drinks! Limited seating ...so, go early or for lunch to score a table or sit at bar. Staff is very attentive and friendly. English menu translation is available. Every dish I've had or experience is delicious and love the drinks. I haven't experienced one bad issue coming here twice. I'm a Fan!

Very small restaurant that makes a huge impact. Excellent, creative tapas size plates, good service and friendly Staff and patrons

We had a truly exceptional meal. Both entrees had a layering of flavors that I have never experienced before, we would take a bite, exclaim about how good it was and then some other flavor would hit and we'd exclaim again from that same bite.

My absolute favorite in San Miguel! Everything about this place is fabulous. Tiny and quaint, excellent service, fabulous drinks and the best food around. Get the spicy mezcal with coconut cream. It's perfect. My favorites for food were the cauliflower tostadas and by far the esquites. Honestly I want back again just for those and they even gave me tips on how to recreate that at home. I would go here anytime, it's that good!

Our favorite restaurant in all of SMA. The seasonal menu is a delight, and every single thing on there is worth ordering, with the soft shell crab and tempura shrimp taco being our favorites. The mixologist is a gem and crafting some amazing cocktails. The waitstaff is attentive while not overbearing and we never felt rushed. Can't wait to go back on our next visit!

Small hole in the wall, but they do everything well. Not much on the menu, but it's all choice. Very original (both the food and the drinks). Asked the staff for recommendations and they steered me right. And don't underestimate the kitchen -- the menu might be small, but we walked out very satisfied.

So delicious, vibe was awesome with chill music, mellow lighting and the food was beautiful. Every dish and cocktail was fully instagram worthy and more importantly, delicious! The soft shell crab wrap was mega and my favorite cocktail was the Black Mamba, a balanced mezcal cocktail. We sat at the bar and Andres the bartender was an artist with every drink and a total legend. Hood vibes! Highly recommend for sharing dishes with friends.

Best restaurant we experienced in San Miguel. We made reservations at 1400 for a late lunch and enjoyed everything we ordered. We had two tostadas, tuna and octopus, and the ham and mozzarella pizza. The interior is small and beautifully decorated, perfect for a cozy lunch or dinner. Make sure to make reservations or try to walk in early for a spot at the bar. Fantastic meal!

Had a difficult time getting a reservation - but well worth the wait. Our server was delightful and took the time to explain everything. My beet salad was the best I've ever had - anywhere! I had the Octopus Tostada, which was wonderful and husband had the steak sandwich - which he loved as well. The owner was very welcoming and spent time with everyone - not that there are that many people in the place - it's quite tiny, but quite cozy. On our "return next year" list.

Food was amazing; best meal we had in SMA don't think about just go make sure to book

This is my cousin's favorite restaurant in in the whole wide world, and I have to agree, it's pretty darn good. The food is absolutely delicious and the service beyond great. I forgot our server's name, but he was a gem. I will say, this place is very small and has just 5-6 tables, and 3-4 seats at the bar. The ambiance is very lowkey but vibrant at the same time. I would recommend ordering a bunch of plates to share, and then order a duplicate for the ones you like, which will be pretty much everything. We had about 5-6 dif dishes and ended up ordering a duplicate after. Their bartender is awesome serving up some great craft cocktails. Can't name all the dishes, but just show your server my photos; you will not be disappointed. Would definitely come back here again. One of my favs in San Miguel for sure!

Our favorite meal in San Miguel! The restaurant is small and intimate and every tostada we ordered was delicious. Definitely order the sirloin, beef short rib and roasted corn tostadas.

You need to make a reservation. They have limited seating and hours. I can't recommend this place enough. They have great drinks and the food is fantastic. The service is also first class. We are coming back here again and again and again. You should too.

Amazing! Chose things I never had and it was wonderful. Like a party in my mouth. Beautiful presentation! Great service. Small so make reservations, if possible. Ask for an English menu.

This small little joint packs a BIG punch with taste and creativity of the menu. A very very nice staff, small little cave-like interior and close to town.

Was difficult to get a reservation but well worth the wait. The ambiance was peaceful and elegant. The wait staff was efficient and friendly. But the real star was the food. The Esquites was one of my favorite dishes EVER! I can't even describe how flavorful and satisfying it was!

The second time was the charm. I tried coming one night after reading some good reviews but they were packed and the wait was 2 hours. Undeterred, I came back the next day as soon as they opened for lunch and got a walk in spot at the bar. The bartender was super friendly. I ordered the truffle esquites and sweet potato fries. The truffle esquites weren't very good. It was a ton of corn with a dollop of cream on top and it lacked seasoning. For dessert, I tried their balsamic glazed figs with ice cream. It was good but there were a lot of figs and sauce and I could have done with less. If you're wondering why the four stars, it's for the service and the sweet potato fries which were excellent - the perfect balance of crispy and soft and impeccably seasoned. I would go back just for those fries and to try the crab soft shell wrap which also sounded good.

Fabulous food, service and wonderful atmosphere. Miguel and Allie both knew the menu inside out. I'd wish we had k able to get another reservation. The beet salad and the crab were both amazing

This is a small, cozy little spot, but the ambience is wonderful and the food is fantastic as are the cocktails. Try the lychee martini. The softshell crab tacos were to die for as well.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in San Miguel. The food is always fantastic, the vibe is so cool and trendy, and the service is friendly.

Couldn't recommend this place more highly. Wonderful food, staff, and service. Stumbled upon it walking around for dinner and came back for lunch we loved it so much! Favorite meal in SMA by far!

The Trucha Salmonada is the best thing I've eaten in quite sometime! The mixologist, Andres, is quite the artist, try his mezcal drinks!

Loved the creative food and flavors. Highly recommended. It is a small place so book a reservation. Drinks are amazing too.

Omg the food is delicious here. Definitely a must when in San Miguel. Even my children enjoyed it and they are picky. They do not offer a kids menu but they ordered the shrimp tacos and steak and cheese tostada and were very happy.

The soft shell crab was sooo good! Crispy and delicious, the toppings complimented the wrap perfectly. Price was very reasonable and I was in a hurry and the service and time was excellent. Also loved the passion fruit water. Highly recommend!

Delicious! Came around 2:00 and was able to sit at the bar without reservation. Ceviche tostada was a hit!

A really great spot in perfect location easy to walk to front the city center. Has amazing food with vibrant flavors it's a must stop place. Great vegan options!! The avocado tostada was so rich, much more to it than just avocado. Their drinks were to die for! The service was lovely. Look forward to coming by again!
