Welcome to Orquidea Thai Restaurant

“ Delicious food and good service!! The yellow curry was amazing and the screaming tiger was perfection!! We eat here every time we come to San Miguel!! ”

“ We came here today and were not disappointed. The ambiance is nice and had some music playing downstairs as well and good dishes with options to make almost all the main dishes vegetarian friendly and also many gluten free options as they use rice noodles in many dishes instead of wheat. Decent prices and good service. The chairs are not the most comfortable though. ”

“ We love Thai curries, but not the thick sauced kind found outside of Thailand. You will find authentic, lovely, light curries here. I had tom kha soup and my husband had green curry with chicken. Both dishes were over-sized, filled with fresh herbs and vegetables and could be prepared Thai spicy. The owner is lovely and grows the produce on her ranch outside of SMA. Go and try it.

“ Great service and even better food! My favorite dish was the panang curry, but we also had the crying tiger, Tom kha, and pad see ew. So happy there’s authentic Thai to be had here ”

“ A Solid Thai Option in San Miguel! This Thai restaurant in San Miguel de Allende is a bit of a hidden gem, literally! It's in a good, central location, but you head down a set of somewhat steep stairs to the basement level to find the seating area. The place was clean on both of our visits for dinner, and while it wasn't bustling with guests, we actually enjoyed the quiet atmosphere. A huge shout-out to our waiter, Kevin Jared. He was the lone waiter during our visits and was incredibly professional, super polite, and genuinely nice. He was also really helpful with recommending dishes, which we appreciated since we were trying a lot of different things. Now, onto the main event: the food! We were determined to try a good variety of Thai dishes in San Miguel, so over two consecutive dinners, we ordered a feast for two. We had Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, Tom Yum and Udon soups, Rollos de Camaron (shrimp rolls), Panang Curry, sweet and sour vegetables, and fried bananas for dessert. Yes, it was a lot of food, but we were on a mission! Overall, there were some definite hits and misses. We absolutely loved the Rollos de Camaron, the Tom Yum soup, the sweet and sour vegetables with tofu, and of course, the fried bananas for dessert were a perfect ending. However, the Pad Thai and Pad See Ew were just okay for us. Despite a few dishes not being standouts, we'd definitely come back on our next trip to San Miguel. It's also worth noting that this seems to be the only Thai restaurant in town that we know of, so it's a good spot to get your fix! ”

“ A spur of the moment Sunday supper, and what a wonderful surprise! Fresh, authentic and simply delicious. This little gem is tucked below street level in the centro, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Fresh herbs, beautiful vegetables, spice level just as requested. We had the pork and vegetable spring rolls to share, one pad see ew with chicken, one green curry chicken, three mineral waters and strolled out $33 dollars later, happy as can be. Worth a regular stop, and just perfect for a break from the typical San Miguel de Allende fare. ”

“ Really cute restaurant, it has great and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy with your girlfriend or boyfriend, or also with family. The food is so good and so tasty, and they have a wonderful jasmine Tea! Loved it! ”

“ Nice place to eat real Thai food, the flavors are awesome, fresh ingredients and very kind people, if the dish says that is spicy is really spicy, the place is cossy and play good music with the proper level, the owner that is also the chef was super nice and change the dish because was too spacy for us. ”
