San Angel Inn

Frommer's Review

It's always night at the San Angel, where you can dine under starry skies (a la Disney) and feast on some of the best south-of-the-border cuisine in all of the theme parks. The restaurant offers one of the best (and most romantic) atmospheres around. Against the backdrop of the marketplace, candlelit tables under star-lit skies set the mood, and the menu delivers reasonably authentic food -- don't expect to find Americanized hard-shell tacos and nachos here. Mole poblano (chicken simmered in a combination of chile, green tomatoes, ground tortillas, 11 spices, and a hint of chocolate) is a popular choice. Another favorite: filete motuleño (grilled beef tenderloin served over black beans, melted cheese, pepper strips, and fried plantains -- a sweet, banana-like fruit). The occasional rumble of a volcano and the sounds of the distant songbirds can be heard as you wait for your dinner -- you may find yourself singing right along if you've tried too many margaritas or had more than your limit of Dos Equis.
