At Calzada de la Aurora #12, I’ve been to Hansen six times in the past few weeks and honestly I love this restaurant. They
are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and get here early if you want the
specials because they sell out.
This restaurant is my first choice for
consistently good food.
The under 100 peso Friday and Saturday special
for a small steak (and it was good), French fries (and they were good) and a
salad was a great buy. I was full and had no room for dessert. This is
unquestionably one of the best pieces of beef I’ve had since I've been in San
Miguel. On another day, I tried the burger and it was exceptional as well.
One of the best things on the menu is the
Caprese salad. We sided 5 people with one salad two nights in a row.
The pork chops were good – two large ones
on the plate – but slightly overcooked. This would be my only complaint.
The Tortilla Soup was billed as “The Best in
Town”…and it was.
Delicious dessert. It was really rich ...just
like great chocolate should be. In fact, I felt guilty after I ate it...also
something good chocolate should do.
We had fun leisurely lunches and dinners
on both the rooftop and inside. Don’t hurry and enjoy the experience. The
Margaritas were 2 for 1 after 5 PM and at every meal the service was outstanding.
I’m planning to split both the Prime Rib
and Osso Buco as I’ve heard both are superb. I also want to try the BBQ ribs
which were sold out last Sunday. Oh and the chicken liver pate.
Do you suppose
I should stake out a chair for the next few weekends because my brother and
brother-in-law will not let us go anyplace else.
Buen Apetito!
