One of our new favorites, Mi Bistro 300 is a great place to eat with older kids. The homey decor and indoor/outdoor seating make for a lovely setting. You will surely find something delicious that you will love on their international menu.

In the summer months, when the temperatures are scorching and the kids are bored, you can find us at Pollo Feliz. They have air-conditioning (a rarity in San Miguel!), an enormous 12-foot play yard and ball pit, and great service. Their menu is small and simple but all kid-friendly.

Luna de Queso is our go-to for a healthy breakfast or a light lunch. They have a large outdoor area with a kid-sized picnic table and lovely staff. Be sure to try their superfood-packed smoothies! They also have a beautifully curated deli full of imported cheeses, gourmet products, desserts, and more. Yes, please!.

While San Miguel is overrun with taco carts, many of them set up quite late, way past the kids’ bedtimes, so if you want a real taco cart experience in the early afternoon, La Brasillia is your go-to place. They have a taco cart inside the restaurant, set up with the trompo where the taquero will be flaming up the meat and slicing it up as fast as you can say orale. The crispy tacos al pastor with pineapple and verdura (a mix of onion and cilantro) is the absolute best here and not to be missed. If the kids aren't into it, they also have quesadillas, flank steak tacos with cheese, and baked potatoes.

Los Burritos has long been a local favorite, and it's our top recommended place for inexpensive, authentic Mexican food. Upon entering, you are met with an extensive burrito bar full of delicious, ooey gooey, scrumptious fillings. This is not Chipotle! You will have a choice of authentic Mexican specialties: rajas, mole, picadillo, tinga, desebrada, and so much more. For the kids, we recommend the quesadillas for the picky eaters, letting them try your fillings, or they can order huevo con chorizo, which is not spicy. But by all means, encourage them to explore the many flavors Los Burritos has to offer! The flour tortillas are made on site, and the kids will be entertained watching the cooks press and cook them as fast as they can.

La Posadita is the ultimate family date night spot. It's located directly across from La Parroquia. At sunset, the view cannot be beaten, as it's truly magical. Their menu consists of a mix of Mexican and international dishes. Mom and dad will want to try the tamarindo margarita, and the kids will love their enchiladas

So many times, sitting down to a meal with your family is as much about the meal as it is about the memories of that time spent together. Watching the sunset from the rooftop of the Rosewood Hotel at Luna together with your family is sure to be one of those special memories. Their menu is full of kids’ favorites, like pizza, tacos, and fries. While pricey, the food is top-notch. So are the drinks! This spot is best suited for older kids (10+) and is one of our favorites for celebrating special occasions, like birthdays and anniversaries. The best day to go is Friday when they their great live band performs. But you’ll need to make reservations, as this is a hot spot all year round.

Pizza is a favorite for kids of all ages, so if you are downtown and your gang can't decide, stop by La Grotta. This cozy Italian eatery has been open in the same spot since 1983 and is most definitely one of our favorite Italian restaurants in town and our go-to for pizza delivery.

Enjoy the Mexican countryside at Mama Mia Campestre. One of our favorites for a long lazy weekend meal, this is the best spot to keep the kids entertained. Adults can kick back and relax, while the kids run around the lake, explore the grounds, and play in the treehouse. This is all in addition to its extensive menu, which is chock-full of pizza.

This classic favorite is a beautiful spot for breakfast. Tables surround a flower-filled fountain right off of the main square. Here, you can find many Mexican specialty dishes, like the delicious Mole, a favorite for breakfast, as well as pancakes and eggs with bacon for the kids.

This fancy food court will no doubt have something for everyone in the family. The food stalls range from Peruvian to tacos to sushi. It's right in the heart of town and is the perfect place to stop for lunch when you are out and about. They also operate a full bar. So, mom and dad, by all means, have a beer or a cocktail – you've earned it! Check out their Facebook page to see when they have live music. Timpka is our favorite.

Geek & Coffee has so much to offer the little ones. With their beautiful grassy area, playground, and toy zone, you can't beat Geek for families with kids under 5 years. This is the perfect stop for a quick snack and playtime before exploring Fabrica Aurora or if mom and dad want to enjoy an iced coffee while they catch up on their Instagram.

Hank's is a popular spot for expats and Mexicans alike. While not kid-friendly at first sight with its bar-like feel, we love going to Hank's with our kids. The menu is enormous, the vibe is fun, and you can't beat the location. Their multicourse Sunday brunch is always a hit with the whole family.

Quirky and fun is what you will think when you walk into El Pegaso. Owned by expat Robin and her husband, Beto, who opened their restaurant in 1987, El Pegaso is a favorite among many locals. Your kids will have fun looking at the art on the walls and gazing into the dessert display. Their menu is international with hints of Mexican. We consider their Chiles en Nogada the best in town. El Pegaso also has one of the best bakeries in San Miguel! Try their apple pie. They also have a beautiful rooftop with gorgeous views of La Parroquia

Los Milagros is always fun with its funky and celebratory ambiance. On most weekends, you can catch their live band, that which plays a mix of Mexican and US hits from the '60s and '70s. They are a hoot! Although They they don't have a kid’s kids' menu, and their portions are large, so sharing is the way to go here. If you are a family of meat eaters, you’ll definitely will want to order the Molcajete.

Our most frequented restaurant by far, Hecho en Mexico, never disappoints. The setting is in a beautiful courtyard, the staff is always friendly, and they have a huge menu. Their kid menu has great butter pasta, burgers, and chicken strips, but their regular menu is also full of great options, including tasty Mexican cuisine. And you won't want to skip dessert here. Their signature brownie with ice cream and cajeta is to die for. We love Hecho!
