A new restaurant on Calle Zacateros is becoming very well known: Sour, Cocina Casual & Bar. Something is quite clear: Sanmiguelenses are a demanding bunch. There is great variety in the population, as it comes from all over the world, and when a place, whether it’s a restaurant or any other business establishment is special, word spreads and gradually the population “adopts it” and makes it one of their favorites.
Chef Adrián Castelazo feels that this is what has happened with Sour. “They have received us very well here in San Miguel, and we are very grateful for that.” The restaurant opened its doors in June 2021, offering diners “casual food”, as its slogan says. On the menu you can find salads, pastas, sandwiches, and hamburgers. They also offer pizza fresh from the stone oven, which is actually a hybrid of gas and wood, giving the pizzas an unbeatable flavor. Recently, they began to offer other dishes, such as various cuts of meat, fish prepared in different styles, and some additional surprises on the menu to satisfy the most demanding palates that need something more ample.
The drinks are varied and are prepared to best accompany the different dishes. You can have wine by the glass, or you can have a cup of Chiapas coffee that is roasted French style, acquiring a strong flavor and a dense consistency. Sour also has spirits and cocktails, both classic and “house drinks.” Some are prepared with lemon and egg white. They are all prepared by Erik, the bartender at the Bar.
Adrián says that certain dishes are prepared at a particular season of the year, all with the idea of standing out from the other restaurants in the city. If you would like to get to know Sour Cocina Casual & Bar, do not hesitate to visit them at Zacateros 49 from Wednesday to Friday from 1-9pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 9am-9pm, and Mondays from 9am-6pm.
