Why locals love it
A Mount Pleasant value standby. The 32-oz draft beers and fishbowl margaritas do the heavy lifting; the menu is the standard Tex-Mex roster done well at a price that makes it the easy answer when a group of locals can't agree on anywhere else.
What locals are saying
San Miguel is widely regarded by locals as the top Mexican spot in Mt. Pleasant, consistently ranking #1 or #2 on Yelp for the area. Regulars rave about the street tacos with homemade tortillas, queso con chorizo, carnitas, and skinny margaritas, praising generous portions at fair prices. A handful of reviewers flag occasional front-of-house inconsistencies — one noted feeling unwelcome at the door, and a TripAdvisor regular flagged the lack of a full-time bartender — but repeat visits and improving service scores suggest these are minor friction points in an otherwise well-run neighborhood staple.
