Located in a quiet neighborhood in north-central Austin, Fonda San Miguel offers an interior and food that are nothing short of extraordinary. The decor transports you to an Old World Mexican hacienda, decorated with colonial Mexican antiques, Talavera tiles, and hand-thrown pottery. The beautiful courtyard is alive with flora and splashing water. Authentic interior Mexican cuisine is the draw, and traditional Yucatecan and Veracruzano dishes are deliciously savory but not unnecessarily hot.
Happy hours are very popular here, in the large and separate bar space which spills out into the airy courtyard. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday the happy hour offers $1 off Fonda San Miguel's famous margaritas and half off select appetizers. On Tuesday, the all-night happy hour features $4.95 house margaritas and select glasses of wine, and half off select appetizers.
