Cuisine: Mi Lugar specializes in delectable Mexican cuisine, celebrating the rich traditions and vibrant tastes of the region. From succulent tacos bursting with flavor to refreshing ceviche that dances on your palate, every dish is crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Popular items on the menu have delighted numerous visitors, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality and authenticity.

The dining atmosphere is simply enchanting.

Always beautiful sunset, good drinks, good food, friendly service."

Keep in mind that Mi Lugar is closed on Thursdays, and if you prefer a quieter experience, reserving a table on Tuesdays is recommended.

Dined here three times. Always beautiful sunset, good drinks, good food, friendly service. Two thirds of menu is drinks LOL! I definitely recommend eating here! Reserve on a Tuesday when it’s quieter-no dart leagues on Tuesdays…or weekends I think. Closed Thursdays. Cheers!

This is a beautiful location with a gorgeous view! All of the food we had was very tasty and the service friendly. A note if you have mobility or health issues: if you are walking it takes about 10-15 mins at a casual pace to walk up the hill from the highway to the restaurant on a fairly steep and uneven road. A taxi might be a better option & the restaurant staff can call one for you to get you back home after your meal.

Went here for our last night in Mexico dinner. The shrimp and fish tacos were spectacular. The view is great. Lovely grounds, sketchy neighborhood.

We enjoyed some delicious fajitas and drinks at Mi Lugar last night. The waitress was helpful and the service was wonderful. And the sunset views topped off a wonderful evening.
