Most people would agree that no place in the San Juan-Metro area combines
classiness and trendiness to such an extent as the Condado district.  For
decades, its luxurious hotels, historic buildings, high-rise condos, hip nightclubs
and happening restaurants have made it one of the most popular destinations
among tourists and locals alike.

One of these trendy spots is Migas, a restaurant located on 1400 Magdalena
Avenue –parallel to Ashford Avenue– on the first floor of a beautiful building
known as Casabella.

Founded by Chef Miguel García, Migas boasts a variety of unique and interesting
dishes where hints of Caribbean, French and Asian cuisine reach culinary
heights.

And with its sultry lounge atmosphere and intimate dining area, Migas defines
chicness, something that fits in perfectly with the Condado groove.

Every evening, Migas opens its doors to a crowd mostly made up of
professionals who go to wind down while enjoying the food and drinks, especially
at the bar and lounge area, where smoking is allowed.  This particular section of
the restaurant has a rather sexy charm to it, with the dim lighting bouncing off the
reddish walls creating a cozy environment.  

Off to the side of the bar, with a large window facing Magdalena Avenue, there’s
a smaller room with a few tables, where clients can enjoy their dinner while
remaining near the lounge area.

The larger dining area is also beautifully decorated, with mirrors and artwork
adorning the walls.  It’s perhaps the perfect place to order a glass of wine from
Migas’ extensive wine menu and enjoy one of Chef García’s creations, like the
Coffee and Black Pepper Crusted Lamb Chops with Mashed Root Vegetables
and Red Wine Sauce.

Choices from the Tapas (Appetizer) section of the menu range from a delicate
sampler of Prosciutto, Artesanal Cheeses and Olives to Braised Short Ribs in
Aged Balsamic Reduction.

“We’re planning on expanding our selection of Tapas soon,” says restaurant
manager Edgar Dolande, adding that these are perhaps the most popular items
on the menu.

Migas opens Mondays through Wednesdays from 6 pm-11 pm, and Thursdays
through Saturdays from 6 pm- midnight.  For more information, call (787) 721-
5991 or e-mail migasinnovativecuisine@hotmail.com.
