Ashley SalbergApril 23, 2013Seated quick. Ordered quick. Food at table quick (like 5min). Then we never saw our waiter again until check time. Never checked in with us once. Good thing the happy hour margarita is good!
Divya BudhrajaApril 4, 2013Food wasn't fab. But I think they can get away with it cause everything else was spot on. Margarita = Delicious! Chips and salsa = warm and perfect! Atmosphere = Fabulous!- Carly LaminackJuly 5, 2013For great Mexican in satx, avoiding the river walk is the best idea, as the river walk is pricey, full of people, and usually ok food. For river walk food this place was decent.
Gunes AvciApril 29, 2013It was okay. Not something super impressive except their super sized portions. IT was so huge! My fiance and I split a entree (some fajita combo). We could not finish 2/3 of the meal.
heather mitchellJune 18, 2013Eh, keep walking. No menu item we had was remarkable (actually even El Chico is better) We cringed when seeing the bill for complete disappointment. And the other comments are true- all "extras" cost.
Ravey BabyJanuary 12, 2014Don't be fooled by the location. The margaritas were delicious but the food was expensive & mediocre. Pigeons flying across the table while eating, Mariachi band charges $10 for requests... No bueno
Napo CortezJuly 17, 2014Be clear on what you order. . Overpriced Mexican food because it's next to the riverwalk
Cheile OrtizJune 5, 2013Food was okish. Service sucked. Got orders wrong. Then they seemed put out that we wanted what we ordered. Shame on us. I'm not even sure the 60 oz margarita would have made it better. 👎👎
Julianna FiducciaAugust 12, 2016The queso wasn't that great but the enchiladas verdes were very good
Robbey DeLeon KristineW.comNovember 28, 2011Okay.this place is on the river. It's a tourist trap and the food is below average. It's expected. The 60 oz margarita was not very strong. I should have been drunk! But, it was a great for the parade
Ernie PerezOctober 1, 2010$10 happyhour. 2 traditional margaritas and an appetizer of queso, nachos and quesedillas
Suzan HernandezDecember 26, 2011Not homeade tortillas,can beans,chips were old and we were only given the bottom of the bowl. One of our parties wanted a bean and cheese burrito they said they didn't make them. What? They are a mexi
Alex SantanaJune 2, 2012They screw up simple orders. The seating on the patio is forced so you will get something spilled on you. Drinks are weak.
CristieMay 11, 2011Don't eat here. Really, if you are sitting at the table w/friends deciding what to order, you can either leave or pretend you're suddenly not hungry. Having a tv dinner @home is better than this.
Jennifer MorrowFebruary 20, 2011Happy hour weekdays only from 2-6 you can get the 10 dollar special which is a sweet deal
Grain GuyJuly 26, 2012Mediocre at best!! Weak drinks, ok food, ok service. There has to be better in San Antonio!!
Chris SmithJune 12, 2010Enchiladas verdes is a big meal for 1. The wait staff was very nice & friendly to me. I enjoyed the meal.
Mimies TateMarch 14, 2012I'm not sure how this was rated top anything!! If anything the food was sub-par, at best and it was very over priced!!
Justin HancockJanuary 2, 2013waited over 30 min for our food...on a slow night. I'd hate to see how bad service is when they're busy...
Lisa NicoleJuly 25, 2013Food was below average...over priced and service was slow! Not impressed and will not return.
Jan FreemanJanuary 20, 2017One word: YUMMY! Even the chips and salsa. It's all delicious. A Tex-Mex lover's dream
Lacie M.February 21, 2013Mediocre food, terrible service, worst margarita ever! With all the Riverwalk has to offer, don't waste your time on this one!
Josh RangerOctober 14, 2013$3 traditional margaritas during happy hour. One of the best margaritas I've ever had. Regular menu looks too pricey.
