When I was a little kid, I was raised mostly by my grandparents. And, when I was a little kid, I had a favorite treat. It was called an ice lolly. And it combined fruit juice, sugar and this amazing invention called ice. Now this invention may not seem particularly...
It seems hard to believe but, looking back to 15 years ago, I can’t recall a single Asian-influenced dish on any menu in San Miguel de Allende. Oh, there were Chinese restaurants and there was a Japanese restaurant. But none of those restaurants that added a splash of...
The rumor started to circulate back in November. Chef Marcela Bolaño and her partner Ximena de Léon Campomanes were opening a new restaurant, a new Asian restaurant. I was intrigued. I was enthused. I was excited. But I wasn’t surprised. Marsala, their first San...

It was our anniversary. Our first anniversary. An entire year since we had eaten dinner indoors at a restaurant. So, where to go? Actually an easy choice. We’d simply go to the restaurant that’s been San Miguel’s favorite for four of the last five years. And the last...
