First stop upon arriving to visit family. Love the decor and many selections on the menu. From the chips and salsa to the enchiladas and tacos we had our fill of good TexMex and leftovers to snack on later. The queso and guacamole were really good.

This was my first time here and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like Mexican restaurants are so hit or miss because some of them just royally suck. So my expectations weren't high. But everything was great!! The flautas were great and the fajitas were also great. What I loved was they gave you fajitas for a person not fajitas for a whole group. The service was also fantastic!!! I didn't love the fruit fresh margarita the triple sec just was not my vibe but other than that it was great!!

Excellent food great service ambience really nice. Been there twice. Plan to go back again soon.

Very hit or miss. I ordered the brisket enchiladas and they were pretty good. Plenty of meat, everything tasted good from the hatch chili sauce to the corn tortillas. It was listed with the "spicy" symbol next to it on the menu, but honestly I didn't find it very spicy. The chips were good, the salsa tasted like it had a lot of black pepper in it??? I didn't really touch the salsa, but I am usually very picky about salsa. This one I just didn't like. What threw me for a loop though was the rice. It was unlike any Mexican rice I have ever had (in a bad way). It was really indescribable. It felt more like an Asian fried rice with Mexican flavors, but the texture was unlike either style. The taste wasn't bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I did eat the rice, but I would never order it again. I'm sure some people love it and they would not be wrong. I just found it to be so strange. Service was fine, I ordered takeout so I didn't get much interaction. Overall it was decent but I don't think it was entirely for me.

Love Miguel's. Their servers are friendly and efficient. Our margaritas were cold and tasty. Our lunches came out quickly and my spinach enchilada was excellent. Reasonably priced, fun decor and clean restrooms. We will be back soon.

My last review for Miguel's was March 1. The day I buried my Mom. (Sad face) I've since been back- Easter, Mother's Day- Father's Day- and Thanksgiving . I don't live in Abilene. But I won't fail to stop by and enjoy the food here. April- 2 spinach enchiladas: ugly as sin- but delicious. ($13) May- camarones de brochette- like a bacon wrapped shrimp fajita. It's soooo good . ($25) June- Shrimp and chicken fajitas ($21) I didn't get any sizzling videos- but I assure you. They sizzled. And were amazing. November- Camarones de Brochette. Went DOWN IN PRICE!! (What?!??) $24 These folks can fuss it up. But not enough to scare me away. I continue to recommend.

I really enjoyed Miguel's. This place is *huge* - and even so we had a 20min wait on a Saturday night. The atmosphere is why I gave it 5 stars - fun latin themed. I would say more Encanto's Casita style rather than traditional Mexican. The beautiful light fixtures and flowers that go all over the ceiling were so fun. It was cold when we went but the patio looked really nice. And my favorite was that there were no TV's (other than the ones just showing random mood pics). The food was pretty good. My go to is fajitas, and the steak in the fajitas seemed much better quality than the typical skirt steak, it was super tender and had no fatty spots. I suspect that the meat is maybe slow cooked then grilled hot when ordered? Whatever the case, it was very good. Lots of good caramelized onions and grilled peppers. We ate more chips and salsa than usual - the salsa was not too spicy so the kids enjoyed it too. I was a bit disappointed in the refried beans they tasted pretty similar to canned beans. Not sure if they were, I just typically like the thinner style of beans than the pasty kind. I very much liked the rice, but the kids wouldn't eat it, not sure why. Also loved the bathroom - all the fun tile! This will be a regular spot for us when visiting. I thought the prices were extremely reasonable and service was great. The music was pretty quiet, which I was thankful for, just super relaxing dinner. *Definitely* get the bread pudding. My husband is allergic to tree nuts, but he was able to eat it, not sure if the menu is not updated but there were not actually any nuts in it.

This is my second time here, and this is my edited review: I am curious to know if Miguel's is a local restaurant or a chain. However, I would recommend this place for several reasons: 1) The atmosphere. They have invested in the details and in honoring the Mexican heritage. They play Mexican music (classics) but not loud, allowing you to converse while enjoying your food. 2) The patio is gorgeous! The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing, with dimmed lights, beautiful furniture, and fountains. 3) The food is affordable, but it is not cheap. What I mean is that they offer quality for a reasonable price. The chicken fajita and two chicken soups totaled 42 dollars, including tea. Our waitress was fantastic; I did not catch her name, but she was funny, fast, and charismatic. (She had an accent from Argentina). We had a great experience, and I would return and recommend it to friends.
