Was visiting family in San Diego and had brunch on Saturday, August 24. The restaurant is in a great location near the marina on Shelter Island. The area was bustling with people heading out to the marina and the beach area and the restaurant was quite busy. We were seated outside, which was perfect because it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.There were three of us and we order quite a bit of food. The restaurant gives you chips and a variety of hot salsa and queso dip. And, we ordered fresh guacamole. All of it was delicious.For our entrées, we ordered the calamari wrapped chile relleno, swordfish taco, pork belly taco, chicken mole taco, fried fish taco, and albondigas soup. The tacos were pretty tasty... But the calamari wrapped chile relleno was amazing! My cousin told me to order that, but it didn't sound good to me. However I had a bite and it was absolutely amazing. When I go back, I am definitely having it. The staff and managers were very nice and accommodating. They provided service with a friendly smile and professionalism. Enjoy!

Miguel's has LOST it's LUSTRE. My family and I have been regular customers of Point Loma Miguel's for 8 years. We enjoy the great service, the Shelter Island atmosphere of the outdoor patio. I wish I could say the same about the food. We went last Thursday 3:30pm. For the past 3 years I have noticed their classic white cheese sauce, that is served with chip & salsa, is watered down. It's been this way - watered down for over 3 years. It makes your customers feel your restaurant is cheap. A few other things were not good with my entree, is why I am writing this review and giving it 2 stars: poor food, small portions, lack of care and overall chintzing on the food. The salsa served with the chips, had no flavor and looked like tomato sauce with pepper. I ordered beef chimichanga, and I was expecting the classic "big fat burrito size chimichanga", as I was really hungry. What came was a kiddie size chimichanga - 1/4 less in size of what a normal Mexican restaurant would serve. I should've taken a photo. Last thing was that as I took my first bite I noticed the chimichanga had no crunch factor. It was sogged out as if when it got cooked, the oil wasn't hot enough. The entire tortilla was wilty and soggy.I kept eating, even though I was disappointed with the poor care in cooking. Last thing that caused me to write this review, 3 bites in and my chimichanga was cold to the touch on the inside. I normally might have sent it back, but I was tired, and I didn't want to call attention, as my husband's food and my son's food look and tasted great. Anyway, I hope they read my review, if they need to raise prices - do it! I'm happy to pay more for quality food and a great experience, in one of our favorite restaurants. Come on Miguel's! you are a Point Loma Standard. Rise up to the great restaurant you used to be!

Great little place!2 levels with a nice breeze and patio areaSeated right away during happy hour, server was quick with chips , salsa and queso which was delicious. Food was hot and delicious fresh. Definitely recommend for big groups, happy hour and mexican food. Knocked off a star due to not serving our littles first... which very sadly our food went cold before they even got their food. Always serve the littles first, not much of an apology given or notice, which is a big customer service issue and we did get charged an extra drink that we didn't order. Strive for accuracy and service.Only reason why we didn't take the "time" to correct.... with small children unfortunately meltdowns happen and they are ready to go!

Lovely service at the bar - both Alex and Nacho were the bomb! Fun group of people! Great happy hour! And free homemade tortilla chips (still warm) with salsa and queso!However, when we got our bill from Nacho, there were 3 extra drinks on our bill. He only took two of those invalid drinks off. He also admitted at that point that he accidentally made my Irish Coffee with regular whiskey and not Jameson, and that's probably why I didn't like it very much. Yet he still charged me for that drink, too. We'll come back when Alex is bartending, but not Nacho.

The Chile relleno are really good, different from your traditional style, they are stuck with cheese, ground beef and potatoes. The sauce is really good. Taquitos were good, The steak was delicious. Service is great. Everybody is on top of it! They offer homemade corn tortillas, casual and clean, friendly environment, there's about eight Miguel restaurants in San Diego a must try! Francisco is very friendly and very helpful, he didn't mind me asking a lot of questions.

Excellent happy hour prices and options! All of the items on the happy hour are $7. My friend and I were started off with chips, queso, and salsa. We both ordered a margarita and carnitas tacos. Service was alright and food and drinks were delicious.

(Music Tequila)Taquitos!My buddy and I wanted to drink a beer and have a late night bite to eat. We found Miguel's close to our conference and took a drive.Walking inside, it's decorated for fun. We walked upstairs and were seated at a large table. The menu has a nice variety of margaritas, I'm going to start with a classic margarita as well as a small plate of Taquitos! The complementary chips and salsa are addictive, I think we knocked out two baskets! My drink is on point, Taquitos! Are fantastic, Miguel, I thank you for a fun night.
