Asador San Miguel Restaurant, Naranjito, Puerto Rico


Located in the mountains of Naranjito, Puerto Rico is the popular restaurant, Asador San Miguel.  Asador San Miguel has beautiful views, where you can see as far as San Juan. The restaurant has seating inside and outside. Asador San Miguel restaurant opens portable tables as more people come in. Most of the seating is outside.



The food is delicious. I tried the strip loin steak grilled to perfection and the salmon with mango sauce.  They are open Thursday thru Sunday with live music during the evenings.
