At Miguels

Food is very tasty. The guy at the counter (son of the guy cooking) is a bit uncomfortable with his banter, trying to be too cool to the point of being inappropriate and awkward. Good thing the lamb gyro is dynamite.

My co-​worker and I were skeptical at first due to the location and a lack of line. However, we gave it a shot and I’m damn glad I did! There are several options for a gyro in the food courts around here, but theirs is by far the best gyro I’ve had in down town St. Paul.
The Chickpea salad is good with real dry cured chorrizo.
Honestly, give this place a shot if you like medeterranian food. They do it well.

AMMMAAAZINGLY tasty and steamy lamb meat with a magically delicious and savory sauce!
I get a craving for At Miguel’s gyro and chickpea salad at least three times a week. I might as well order in bulk and bring it to work everyday for lunch because it is that AMAZING. The chickpea salad has fresh parsley, authentic Spanish chorizo (from Spain), marinated red peppers, and other spices.
This establishment is unfortunately in a really stale hallway that is away from the food court. It is good, however, because this makes it less busy and therefore a less amount of time for me to grab the savory and «somewhat spicy» (my choice of spiciness) gyro.
I’ve had gyro’s at other Mediterranean restaurants, even with a «Best of the Twin Cities» City Pages award, and At Miguel’s tops the other location. I highly suggest to all of my co-​workers and friends to try the food at At Miguel’s.

At Miguel’s is a great lunch destination in the St. Paul Skyway. My very favorite meal in downtown St. Paul is the Wednesday paella from At Miguel’s. I am also very fond of their tomato-​egg sandwiches — I often take them home to share as dinner with a few sides and get rave reviews from the spouse. They make an excellent labneh and hummus, a wonderful artichoke/​peas/​pepper salad, tasty chickpeas/​chorizo (Spanish)/pepper salad, and a nice taboleh that is paired with domas. They do a very brisk business in gyros with meat and veggie variations available. These folks keep it pretty simple — a few simple, distinctive flavors in each concotion with each element identifiable and distinct in the final preparation… for example the peas in each dish are always sweet and cooked just enough.
These folks know thier stuff, and also are very personable — talk to them sometime if you are there and the line is not too long behind you. The chef has a solid resume that includes some time in Barcelona and he brings that ‘high-​end” experience into this smaller operation, that simplicity I mentioned is part of that, another part is the ability to adapt to what can be had from the marketplace in a particular week or what his customers ask for… slight tweaks to dishes like paella that make it a lot of fun to see how it came out each Wednesday. So, bottomline is that they are very good at what they do, great food at a very reasonable price. As noted by an earlier reviewer, the best skyway paella that one will ever have and for me one that reminds me of other paellas from other kitchens, mostly those of friends.

This place is a hidden gem!
Upon following a neon pink sign crudely drawn by had stating «Gyros» I stumbled onto some of the best St. Paul skyway food I have ever had. The menu is homemade Mediterranean featuring Gyros (obviously), tabbouleh and garbanzo bean salad. I, however, chose the Wednesday special: Paella.
Moderately priced at around $ 8, the paella was a delicious mix of clams, shrimp, calamari, craw fish, olives, beans and rice perfectly seasoned. I can safely say that it was the best paella I have ever purchased in a skyway.
Definitely check this place out for a quick and tasty change of pace at lunch time!

Just had a Gyro today with lamb. It is very tasty. Ok, just finished it and really liked it. Talked to the son today and I can’t wait to run through the entire menu. I truely hope people start coming here so they don’t fall off the skyway map. If I have anything to do with it they’ll be around for a good long time.

Excellent homemade and fresh food. Try the $ 2.00 Egg and Tomato Sandwich. My favorite is the Garbanzo con Chrizo for $ 4.00 and the Gyro’s for $ 6.00. Decent prices for fresh, made daily food. It’s hidden in the Skyway that used to be across fro the now closed TCF Bank.

This place is tragically located in a hallway of doom! No business is able to stay alive much longer for a year in this hallway that connects two food courts.
That being said, I hope these guys make it. This is a shop owned and run by a father and son team. Pops is in the back cooking while the son is an aggressive but not too pushy salesman.
I’ve eaten here twice I had their paella the other day. While only including two clams, had many tender large shrimp. The rice was perfectly cooked and had just the right amount of kick. This was very good but a bit pricey at nine bucks. That being said, sky way food that tastes super fresh is a rarity so the cost is justified.
I had the dolmades last time along with a chicken dish the first time I was here and was not terribly impressed. I look forward to trying their gyros too, which at six bucks could be a pretty good deal.
