Here’s a tip for you. Jim Cramer (yes, that Jim Cramer) owns a Mexican restaurant in Carroll Gardens.
Now, your first reaction to this news is probably something along the lines of, “hang on while I make a note of this restaurant that I’ll never go to.” And we don’t blame you. We actually found out that he owned Bar San Miguel after our visit, and had we known beforehand, we probably would have written it off as a place where people yell at you in Spanish and scrutinize your menu selections in front of the entire restaurant. But that’s not what goes on here at all.
Bar San Miguel is actually a really chill, really good little Mexican spot, with excellent margaritas and an awesome back patio. Do they serve the best [cuisine slug=“mexican”]Mexican[/cuisine] food in New York City? No they don’t, and by the way there’s no such thing. But they do have a solid menu of enchiladas and tacos that more than get the job done, especially when you’re chasing them with jalapeño-infused tequila drinks. The service is friendly too, and Bar San Miguel ultimately just has the vibe of a good neighborhood establishment - one where you come to have some drinks and see some friends, and maybe contemplate your investment strategy. Apparently, RESTAURANTS ARE A BUY.
