My best friend and I chose this spot to celebrate my birthday. I celebrate all week so this was dinner #2 this week. We drove around looking for valet but then got lucky and found a parking lot just right around the corner. We had made a reservation so we were seated right away. Our table was wobbly but then we fixed it. The vibe was amazing, there was a couple next to us having such a great time as well. We ordered a lot. We started off with the 6 shots, mango flavor. We had the chips and 6 different toppings to include 4 different salsas, mild to extra spicy, guacamole and black beans. Amazing starter. We also had the queso fundido topped with mushrooms instead of chorizo, highly recommend. And we had the original Esquite. For our entrees we ordered Bichos, never had them before, but to me they tasted like lucas. We also ordered several different tacos options to try and the bone marrow. For dessert, they brought out the carlota de cajeta, amazing. We needed the night with carajillos which were prepared in front of us and tasted amazing. Top 3 best tasting carajillos I've had. Definitely will be back, it's on our favorites list.

It is with a sad sad stomach this place disappointed on all dishes but the app. I had the Wagyu tacos. They had no taste and the meat tasted like it was a week old. Not only are the prices out of control they lost our ticket. Got 2 of the meals wrong. What they should have done was offer the table a drink or something. Opps is what was said. We had a table of 7 billion was around $400. When we head back to San Antonio again we will not ever go back to this restaurant.

Loved this place. It well represents the flavors of Central Mexico. It is definitely a huge step up from the usual Tex-Mex fare in San Antonio. This is elevated Mexican food. We loved the salsa sampler, especially the house salsa, which is a chili-crisp style of salsa with smoky and sweet chili flavors. We also had the queso fundito with chorizo and the Solomillo Bistek tacos.This place is a little off the beaten path but well worth the short walk from the Riverwalk to get some great Mexican cuisine.

Maybe it was over hyped? First, it's a beautiful restaurant!! Very cozy atmosphere. The staff was nice except the food runner who had a pissed off look on her face anytime you asked her for something or she was bringing something to you. She really was just unpleasant and killed the mood. Our server was very nice and polite. The food I'm sorry to say doesn't live up to the price or the hype. The chicken in the enchiladas was so bland. They should be ashamed serving that fideo and calling it fideo. Tomato soup - that's what it should be named. The panela came with no tortillas and when you ask for tortillas you were given two small ones at a time. I think this place probably has a big crowd at night around the bar. I could see that because the music was at club level. Unfortunately it is not worth the cost. I'd go for a drink but would never recommend eating there.

I really liked the enchilada and thought it was a good amount of food for the price at least for that dish. I thought everything else was a bit pricey but all the food was good. The inside is so cute but a little dim. I thought the service was a bit slower especially since it wasn't too busy but all the workers were really nice.

What a hidden gem. Located in a prime location right next to the Alamodome. Perfect spot to get drinks before a game. Plenty of parking if it's not a game day. We visited on a Saturday at 6 PM and it was empty. Only one other party was eating at the moment, but got busier once we finished. Great restaurant for groups. Large selection of drinks that included tequila, Mezcal, and rum options. Our waiter Karen was super attendant and gave us plenty of recommendations. I would say the restaurant was more authentic Mexican than Tex-Mex. Highly recommend starting with the salsa Trio, as it was a variety of different salsas that pack plenty of flavor ranging from hot to mild. It was a friend's birthday and they gave us a nice treat at the end.

The vibes here are great, and the food is overall above average, but it is pretty pricey and not worth the cost in my opinion. Service was also on the slower side, and it took a while for the food to come out and to get the check. (Don't come here if you want a quick bite to eat/drink.)I got the Chile en Nogada, which was a sizable portion of a stuffed pepper that was covered in a creamy sauce. The flavors were balanced and the sauce wasn't overpowering of the pepper nor filling--overall very yummy. However, I don't think it's worth the $28 price tag.This restaurant is very accommodating to large groups though, so if you are looking to book parties of 10+, this is a prime spot.

Excellent elevated Mexican food. Salsas so great, queso fundito with chorizo so good. Salsa assortment was perfect with so many dishes.

Tacos here are a cut above your garden variety Tex Mex restaurants. It's a more elevated dining experience. From the classy ambiance to the eclectic mix of drinks, everything about this place screams date night. The food is meticulously crafted with fresh ingredients and savory flavors. We ordered a variety of tacos and were impressed across the board. Really enjoyed the Al Pastor, Bistec and shrimp tacos the most. The flavors were outstanding. The wide range of specialty cocktails were also outstanding. Service was excellent and friendly.

Service 5Ambience 4 Food 3I REALLY wanted to love this place. From its website and menu, I was excited to be transported back to Mexico, specifically to Oaxaca, home of mezcal. However, the dishes I ordered - caldo de camarón and a quesadilla with chapulines - fell very short of my expectations. I've had both dishes before and shrimp soup is one of my favorite Mexican comfort foods. Chapulines add a nice crunch ( for obvious reasons ) to any meal. But both were shockingly very bland. I finished my soup, which had lovely vegetables and tender shrimp but otherwise a blah soup base. I could not finish the quesadilla, however, because it lacked palatable seasoning. It was akin to what one would make at home with store bought shredded cheese. Usually chapulines are spiced and chopped up; these were neither. My husband's order - 2 different quesadillas - seemed to have more character but I did not sample them. (He will honestly eat anything if it doesn't contain meat or eggs.)Great location, great service, great drinks, but if I come back I'll need to try something else.
