Mariachi Bar

So it's Fiesta time.... The great thing about it is we can always rely on The Marachi Bar.BUT- it's one drink per I.D. And you have to stand in line for a drink- which is ok. BUT where are the servers? We wanted appetizers ; asked a woman cleaning- she doesn't know- asked the girl taking money and cashing out the bartender- She has No Idea..... they have potential here - it just shouldn't be so hard to get what you want.

The mariachis are amazing! I love the vibe as soon as you walk in. I actually used to play with a group there a few years ago and the people there are always ready to party. The service is great- very responsive.

Bar area of Mi Tierra! Sat here to wait for a table at the restaurant and had a truly enormous, great margarita Marg came fast but ordered some guac that took a long while. Loved the vibe of the place--so homey and lives up to the mariachi name!

Unless you only come to drink alcohol(which I don't), this place is not worth it. It's connected to a bakery and a restaurant.Salsa tasted like Pace. I was thinking about Chili's salsa over this one.Drinks came out super late. And all I ordered for a drink was water. The queso was alright. Chips were stale. Ordered a quesadilla. It said on the menu "comes with guacamole and pico de gallo." I asked for no guacamole, and the guy just said "It's on the side." I assumed he meant in a little bowl, so I was like okay? I wasn't gonna eat it regardless but he seemed adamant about us taking it, so I shrugged and was like okay. Food comes out and the guac is sitting on top of the quesadilla with no container and there was no pico. So I requested it, and when it came out, it had no flavor either. No salt, no lime, literally just tomato onion and cilantro. Really just onion and tomato, in that order. So the food was an utter disappointment. Friends ordered margaritas, one strawberry, on the rocks. My other friend asked for it the same way, except watermelon. The guy looked at him and said, "but it's not the same. It's watermelon." and so my friend looked at him and said okay. The server responded, "Frozen or on the rocks?" and my friend looked at him and said, "like hers, the same way...on the rocks." Mind you this was all in Spanish so he understood what my friend was saying but it seemed like the server didn't really know what he was doing. Then he looked at me and asked what I wanted and I said "Water." He looked at me and went, "Really? That's it?" Like dude, come on. The only thing saving this place is that it's connected to other places so they have decent foot traffic.

I dined at Mariachi Bar and ordered the fajitas for two, with both chicken and beef. The beef fajitas were tasty, but the chicken lacked flavor. The beans and rice were underwhelming, lacking in seasoning. The chips and salsa were just okay. The mango margarita was disappointing, as it lacked tequila. On the bright side, our server was excellent, providing thorough explanations of the menu options. The vibe was really cool and kudos to the Mariachi crew. There's a bakery right in the middle of both restaurants.

Very nice scenery. Family friendly...and very good customer service. The margaritas were on point. I only drank 2 snd was good to go.

This place is a very touristy spot and always crowded. I usually avoid going downtown but I was in that area with my aunt so she offered to treat me to lunch. So I said why not, they have a reputation for having great margaritas. We shared the Botana Platter, it's a large platter of appetizers including flautas and quesadillas. It was good, not great, but the ambience and margaritas make up for it. They have a great selection of mexican pastries.This place is located inside of Mi Tierra's Cafe smack in the middle of Market Square, a very popular tourist's destination spot. We wanted to eat at Mi Tierra's but the wait time was ridiculous. Mariachi Bar was also crowded but we managed to find a table for two. They only offer a very limited appetizer menu in this place, but our platter was satisfying and filling for the two of us. If you're ever in San Antonio, you should definitely check it out. It's kind of a throw back to old Mexico.

Crazy busy tourist time? On a Tuesday evening at 8pm, this place was packed. We initially wanted to go to La Margarita and Oyster but they were closed, maybe that's why this place got extra packed. We waited in line at the bakery to get our names down for a table of 3, at 8pm, hostess estimated 2.5 hour wait, like whoa...but I had a feeling it would be faster as it usually is and it was 8pm already and they close at 10pm?So we decided to have drinks at the bar. Andres was solo bartender from Columbia, cool guy, one man show at the bar and busted out hella suave cool drinks super fast. We were never empty for more than a minute. The bar has an abbreviated menu of small dishes, such as chips/salsa, guacamole, chili con queso, coctel de camarones, we got one of each. Started the nibbling and more of the drinking and chatting with Andres, and with some other tourists or locals...was having too much fun at the bar waiting for our table.Our table was ready at 9:15pm, about a little over an hour wait, it felt like 15 minutes cuz we were having an awesome time at the bar. So we gave away our table and spent the rest of our evening enjoying our apps, drinks, and chatting with Andres.What a great time in beautiful San Antonio!

I really dont really mind if server is unfriendly but it was really Disgusting. I ordered one Soda and a beer and just saw that Male Server scratched his hair with my straw. Omg. And asked for slice of orange for beer but he provided orange on napkin. If you dont want to work then dont. Your attitude ruined my day.

Took a while to have table cleaned and waited on. Servers look down so as not to see customers. Beef enchiladas were lukewarm when served. Excellent margaritas as always No dulce de calabaza?? Just not right! Lucky enough to find parking at backside. Don't forget to tip the attendant..it's hot out there.
