Hallelujah!

The tradition and San Miguel institution that was Cafe Colon is back!

Many will remember the fine home-style Mexican breakfasts and lunches served up by the wonderful, Irme.  Well, after a short stint at a hideaway hole-in-the-wall in Guadalupe, where I first tasted the best rancheros I had had in Mexico, the lady is back in business in Centro.  (This was the only time my bespoke request of ‘con mucho ajo’ had been truly observed, and I sweated like I wanted to sweat).

25 pesos will buy your breakfast.  There is no better value in town.

A lunch / comida special of soup and guisado (stew) for 45 pesos is hot on its heels, as far as a bargain is concerned. The soups and the stews change daily.

The old Cafe Colon sign is up on the wall…and I am a happy man.

Cafe Colon is at Reloj #30
