Beginning with a few classic recipes culled from our chef’s family and friends, the menu captured the true spirit of Mexico. And its authentic style drew a loyal following of those in search of Sonoran grilled swordfish tacos, sizzling sirloin fajitas, and spicy rich chicken mole.
Over three decades, our signature friendly service and festive decor have made Miguel’s a San Diego tradition for locals and visitors alike. Our commitment to artisan cuisine has only grown stronger. That means handmade tortillas, fresh salsas, and colorful crispy chips made daily right in our kitchen. Of course, there’s our decadent, must-have jalapeño white sauce, occasionally referred to as white gold by regulars, and craved up and down the coast.
We invite you to stop in. Enjoy a refreshing hand-shaken margarita and a genuine, mouthwatering Mexican meal. Lets celebrate what we hope will be your first of many, many visits.

    We LOVE the ambiance and decor of InsideOUT. Especially when they have their display events. Enchanted Oasis did not disappoint!! How much fun and color to take a trip through the rabbit hole. Stunning! Michael our waiter was very knowledgeable, patient and soo nice. And we love Ariel too! Our two favorite guys. We were a party of 7. The food was good. Would have preferred to have our appetizers served first (however a couple of the ladies chose to split apps and main course) so we can understand if they were accommodating all of us. The drinks are amazing! If you like Mai Tai's, try the Freaky Tiki. Of course we'll be baaack! Thank you to all the staff for making our night special.
