"A place like Cafe Iberico has always been in the back of my mind for as long as I have been in the food business. It is a restaurant where I can know and interact with my customers, produce quality food and deliver 100% consistency in service and food product ... My wife and I were chefs of our own corporate catering business, restaurant, coffee cafe and coffee roasting facility for over 15 years in the States. We cooked for thousands of people every week, but could only know a few of them on a personal basis. The restaurant is primarily a tapas bar, but also a cafe in the morning hours serving fresh biscottis and coffee. I feature blends of fresh roasted coffees from my wholesale roasting facility here in San Miguel. Spanish cuisine is my specialty and I offer an authentic menu of tapas from many regions of Spain. Depending upon what is available fresh in the region of Mexico, weekly chef’s specials are offered on Friday and Saturday. A small tasteful wine list is provided with suggestions of wines from Spain, Chile and Argentina. In addition to our distinctive menu of tapas, we offer an exquisite array of unique desserts prepared weekly by my wife, our pastry chef". Location/Direccion:Mesones 101, Colonia Centro. Hours/Horas:2pm to 10pm Sunday – Thursday, 2pm to 11pm Friday – Saturday. Phone:152-6154. Email:cafeiberico@hotmail.com. Link to web site
