Hangover in San Miguel de Allende

Having been a heavy drinker for years I have heard and tried it all, believe me. Whatever the remedy was, be it, asprin, vitamins, a ton of water the night before nothing ever did the trick for me.

One day a friend invited me to try a Michelada. "Michelada, what is that?" I asked. He said it was to get me over my hangover. It is a drink consisting of beer, spices, shrimp soup and other salsas. "Beer!" I said, was just going to get me drinking and I will get drunk all over again. Since it was an invitation and he was buying I gave it a try and let me tell you how suprised I was afterwards.

He took me to a restaurant on Hernandez Macias #42 almost at the corner of Insurgentes. He told me this was the best and cheapest place in town for a good Michelada.

The owner, Antonio Sanchez, told us why these Micheladas were the best, among other reasons is because he only uses the best beer in Mexico, Corona. Other places use less expensive ingredients to make their Micheladas, and do not prepare them with quality, sort of like just opening a bottle of beer and throwing it in a glass and adding salsa Valentina or other tabasco to add the correct color.

We also had some great tostadas ceviche, some fried fish with flour tortillas. We washed it all down with a pitcher of Michelada de Clamato, recommended by the owner Antonio Sanchez.

Aftwards, I was very satisfied and felt at least 90% better with no need to eat or drink anymore. It was the solution I have been looking for for over 25 years. I think the ambience and the relaxation of the restaurant helped as well.

Let me give you the details once more for all of you looking to get rid of you hangover without expensive or useless ideas.
