Empanadas of Shrimp and Coconut at El Buen Cafe
Photo Above was actually taken in Guanajuato, and is of a mother and son. The mother is scraping the thorns off oc cactus leaves, preparing them to eat….
Ok, this was probably one of my favorite places that I have eaten at in San Miguel. The restaurant is run by an expat, and the food is delicious, and you can get stuff on the lighter side here. The place serves breakfast as well. Tea drinkers will be glad to know that they can find Stash and Constant Comment teas for sale here (by the box or to drink). Vegetarians will be glad to know that they have a wider selection of food choices here, and can get some delicious fruit and vegetable juices as well. But don’t worry carnivores, you can also get an hamburguesa (a hamburger) here, with a choice of fixins, and even a salmon with a guava chipotle marinade. They have tacos, pasta, some delicious spinach and mushroom quesadillas, and the menu boasts a green salad with Roquefort, pears, and spiced pecans. I had the shrimp and coconut empanadas, and they were incredibly tasty. I would definitely order them again. And probably again. And a warning to anyone trying to watch their figure – here the sight of big homemade chocolate cakes and pies will probably having you watch that waistline expand 
. And if you like what you eat, you can buy one of Kris’s cookbooks, which are on display in the restaurant and are also available for sale. Prices are excellent, the location (just a few blocks off the Jardin) is convenient, and I foresee many happy lunches at El Buen Cafe!
