Primero Cantina

This cantina has tinted windows just dark enough to give you a break from the relentless Texas heat and still get a view of the hills/pool outside! I was quickly greeted by my hostess/bartender/server no wait around 5 pm! There are Tvs all around so its an easy place to eat alone, it's also not loud like a sports bar if you want to chat.I enjoyed the baja-style fish tacos with corn tortilla, rice, and beans. Primero does this dish with a chipotle mayo and i noticed a chipotke smokiness in the rice as well (nice touch). I particularly liked how the lime citrus coleslaw which includes crisp white onion balanced the taco and beans. If that sounds good go ahead and ask for some on the side! If you're visiting its worth a try.My drink was a frozen (available on the rocks as well) hibiscus paloma with a tahín rim. Just sweet enough with out overdoing it. If you're a stawberry or mango margarita person this drink might have a tart bite that you'll love compared to a plain paloma (just grapefruit flavor).Oh yeah FYI: Drink $15Tacos $20

I was genuinely excited to try this restaurant, especially with its stunning views--but sadly, the food didn't match the scenery. As a local Texan and proud San Antonian, I left disappointed.We started with queso con carne, expecting the classic creamy cheese dip with seasoned ground beef. Instead, it came topped with thin, gyro-style meat slices, which was confusing. To make it worse, the queso itself was underwhelming--honestly, H-E-B's queso blanco blows it out of the water.For my main dish, I ordered the asada tacos, hoping for something hearty and flavorful. Instead, I got more of that gyro-like meat, this time bland and in a surprisingly small portion. I actually double-checked the restaurant's description because I thought maybe it was some sort of Mediterranean-Mexican fusion--but nope, they claim it's Tex-Mex. Let me be clear: this is not Tex-Mex.That said, the service was absolutely phenomenal--attentive, friendly, and efficient.If you're visiting the beautiful La Cantera Resort and craving authentic Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, do yourself a favor and venture off the resort grounds. There are plenty of local spots offering food that's not only 100x better but also far more affordable.

Went here for a quick late dinner while staying at the hotel earlier this month (2/8/24). My waitress was rude when taking my order, giving me the impression that I was taking her away from something. The centerpiece on the table that I was sitting at was missing the plant so it was just an old can with dried beans in it. They really should have just taken it off the table if they didn't have anything to put in it.The Primero burger I ordered was $ 18 on the menu but I was charged $20. When I asked the waitress, she checked with the manager and came back saying she didn't know why the prices were different. Apparently, the manager didn't know. They didn't honor the $18 price in their menu so I ended up paying $20. The burger was tasty but the cheese wasn't melted. Fries were crispy but a bit on the salty side.I would not order here again if I stayed at the hotel.

Hotel restaurant, poolside. The food was good, our server was very good. Lots of seating inside and options for outside on the beautiful grounds.

My husband and I came one night since they were open a little bit later as we were staying on the resort! We were looking for something to eat to sit by the fire outside of the restaurant. My husband ordered the chicken quesadilla and I got a ceviche tostada. They were both delicious! However, if you decide to do the same thing and walk around, we did have a raccoon run to us and take my husband's chicken quesadilla while we were sitting by the fire. It was a very strange thing to happen and Honestly, a little scary. When we went to tell our waitress that took our order, she said that they have a little bit of a raccoon problem in the area so if you're there at night, please be careful. At first, they said that they wouldn't refund us or make us another one, but I'm so glad that they decided to change their mind and gave us another quesadilla since it was almost $20!

This is a really cute restaurant on the property of La Cantera Resort. This seemed like the most casual of the options, so we ate here on the first night after a day of traveling. It's big and there are lots of TVs, but they were intrusive on our dining experience. My mom and I shared the nachos with picadillo, the taco salad and the ceviche. Everything was really delicious, but the nachos were my fave! Or actually, the chips that came with the ceviche were my fave- they were puffier! Our server was super sweet and friendly, although the poor guy was definitely overworked- I think there were just two servers in the entire dining room! Not his fault, but the management should do something about that.All in all, I highly recommend!

First time visit and it didn't disappoint. The flavors were outstanding and the staff was top notch

Ordered the Chicken Quesadilla and ate it out by the pool. Probably the best I've ever had - wish I would have taken a photo but it honestly didn't last very long. (December 2023)

Spent $50 for the worst fajitas I've ever had in my life. I believe these were taken out of a frozen package from the grocery store and just heated up. The service was good but the food is an absolute rip off.

Service was great. The food was ok the first night, then improved the second night.
