El Bucanero Embassy

We went for the 1st time. It was very good and the service was friendly. Little pricey but worth it. We would definitely go again. Drinks great and shrimp amazing!!

Overall, I wasn't too crazy about this place. Service, Joel G, was great, but the food and drinks were very mid. The vibes were cool, lots of Christmas decor.The grilled fish was very bland, like no seasoning, but the grilled shrimp were over seasoned.The ceviche was good, and had that been all we got, I would say this place is great.. but ceviche is more like a snack or appetizer in my opinion. The margarita wasn't anything special, and the michelada just tasted like premade mix and beer. It does come with a HUGE beer, and it's $23.50. The margarita was $15. The prices aren't on the menu, in my opinion they're a little overpriced. Especially the margarita. It can't be any more than 12-16 ounces for $15.Good to try once, but probably wouldn't come back.

This very popular restaurant was not busy at all on a Tuesday at lunch - surprising! Very friendly, responsive server answered questions and took our order.We order lunch specials that start with a large bowl of fideo. Nice broth and LOTS of noodles! Could have been a light meal on its own. Our entrees were grilled chicken breast and grilled fish plates. Both came with French fries and a very standard green salad on the plate.The fish was thin and crispy on the edges, but I would have preferred a bit more seasoning. The fries were VERY good - hearty and with some type of extra crispy coating.Three types of sauces in squeeze bottles were brought to the table: habanero (or maybe chipotle?), jalapeno, and "regular" along with ketchup. The jalapeno was a creamy pale green and just the right spicy to add a nice kick to the fish. The only negative was that the MUSIC WAS SO LOUD that we had to lean in across the table to hear/be heard, and we spent way too much time asking each other to repeat what was said!Overall, though, a nice, basic seafood lunch. Next time I'll order the ceviche!

This is still my favorite location of the 3 in SA. Staff is always tentative, food is delicious and fresh and the decor is beautiful. Been coming here for years and won't stop any time soon. Yes, the drinks are pricey. I'd put them on the same range of downtown.

I hadn't been to this location before but the last time I was at this restaurant was 12 years ago. Some friends were meeting at the movies and suggested we meet here first. The place is always packed so I was worried about a long wait. I was seated immediately even though our whole party had not arrived. The place was clean and the staff was attentive. I ordered a michelada and it was delicious. Practically a meal on its own. I love ceviche on a beach vacation and this hit the spot. I really enjoyed my meal. Definitely will be coming back.

My family & I go here every time we visit San Antonio! We LOVE it. The dishes are huge so we can all share & drinks are great! Does get really busy! But service has been great. The music is always a vibe.

Wow the menu options are so plentiful and appetizing you may spend 20 minutes just decided what to order. Or you'll be like us and order an entire feast. However you decide, you will not be disappointed. The seafood is so fresh. The presentation is on point. The Hispanic decor is adorable and festive. We ordered the ceviche Bandera, a mix of three types of ceviche, my personal favorite was the ceviche rojo. The oysters preparada. We had the empanada de Camaros and sopes. Sooooo good! We are stuffed!

We were in town for work at the airport and had a long day, we had to rush it there cause they were about to close and still took us in 15-10min before closing(I'll give them that)they kept accepting more customers after us but the waitress were rushing every one to order before the last call, passed the order situation everything slowed down so we could enjoy our food, let me warn you the portions here are massive! one mitotero was enough probably for 4 adults the ceviche tostadas are more like seafood towers and the enchiladas are to died for San Luis style, loud place, great for parties. Over all good experience I hope to give them a 2nd chance next time we're in town.

A friend recommended this place to us, but because of the low reviews, we were skeptical. After eating, I wondered for very long how this place currently only had 3 stars. The food came quickly, the servers were attentive, and the food was delicious. What more could you want?My favorite was the Molcajete "El Patron". I've never had something like this before. The bacon house sauce was so flavorful, and the seafood in it was cooked perfectly. It was literally a flavor explosion in your mouth, I couldn't get enough. In the molcajete, the grilled octopus took my heart. It was so tender, I cut it with my spoon. It was definitely the best grilled octopus I've ever had in my entire life. We also ordered ceviches and they were really fresh. My favorite way they were enjoyed it was in Aguacates Rellenos stuffed with Ceviche Negro. The seafood was cooked perfectly, it was refreshing and flavorful, and the avocado provided wanted creaminess. All the food here was spectacular, and I wish I lived in San Antonio to visit more often.

Came for a drink before heading to Max and Louie's bc we thought they didn't have a cocktail menu, but they DO lol. $30 for two drinks dang lol was thinking maybe $20 but nope. They had a mariachi band, playing, def loud. So if ur looking for some quiet this isn't it.
