    Inside the rooftop restaurant.
    Lonnie C.

    Was walking through Hemisfair Park when we stumbled upon this hotel. I'd seen the Monarch sculpture and rooftop bar before on social media. We decided to stop in and see what the rooftop was all about. As soon as I turn the corner from the elevator, I was greeted with the most welcoming smile. Juanita was the sweetest person. We originally wanted to sit outside and enjoy a drink. She said absolutely, but warned that it was really windy. She was right, so we sat inside instead. We had a pineapple margarita and a Tamarindo sour, they were both delicious. Wish we could have stayed longer, but our parking time was running short. I hope the managers there know how special Juanita is and I hope they all treat her like the queen she is!

    First and foremost wanted to start off by saying the hotel is gorgeous. The interior design work from the lobby up to this spot is top notch. The view from the roof deck is beautiful with the tower of the americas, front and center. The homage to the migration monarch butterflies is a beautiful concept and one that should be more respected. The theme flutters through the interior of the restaurant/bar with the trees in the middle. We went on day 3 of being open and the service was great from the moment you walk up to the check-in booth to the wait staff. The food was just okay. A bit over priced, small portions. More of a finger food, less of a meal as the prices for the main entrees were $10-20 more than we wanted to spend. I've been telling people, if you come, come for the views and the drinks. Both are worth your time and money.

    Had a wonderful experience at Aleteo as food and drinks were phenomenal. Me and my wife shared a plate. While I was expecting a spare plate to transfer food, they exceeded my expectations by splitting it with the same beautiful presentation. Not relevant but I found it a little silly that the lamps kept dying out and the waiter had to keep replacing them. By the end of the night you see all the lamps gathered in the corner for charging. All in all I had a great experience.

    I want to say YES to recommend as my experience was for an appetizer/drink celebrating a birthday and a not full service meal experience. Thus said, my rating is 4 stars based on a very quick birthday happy hour. The restaurant is on the top floor of the 17 story, newly built Monarch San Antonio Curio Collection by Hilton hotel, adding another 200 rooms to the downtown inventory. Valet is available and the restaurant will validate your ticket. It's a very small front desk check in experience so bypass the front desk and proceed directly to the elevators, a smidge difficult to find if you've never been nor have asked where they are. Upon exiting the elevator and making your way to the hostess stand, you are warmly greeted by a muted palet of suited professionally dressed greeters. (Props to their uniform department!). They check you in and seat you. It is a rooftop restaurant offering sweeping views of the downtown skyline. It's culinarily (is that a word?) inspired by the Yucatán region of Mexico and has a house tortilla program! The bar focuses on mezcal-forward cocktails. The space includes both indoor and outdoor seating under a canopy inspired by monarch butterfly wings. Sadly our outdoor seating had moved indoor due to rain but was still lovely nonetheless. We drank some bubbles and ate some apps to include the trio of salsas (select 3 from their 5 choices) and the baby back ribs al pastor. The chips are hearty and fresh and come with (I'm sure are also house made) chicharrones. We had the verde, blanca and the habanero. Enjoyed the verde and habanero. The blanca was very reminiscent of aioli and was ok to my palate. I enjoyed the others more so. The bbrs were tasty with a pineapple chili glaze|mango salsa|sesame. The decor is elegant and I was really taken by the quality of their linen napkins. It's definitely a place where allllll the pretty people convene. I'd return to enjoy a full meal and to experience outside dining. I imagine it becomes quite lively after the sun sets. Give it a go.

    Service was amazing. Went during fiesta time so roads downtown were closed it took me about an hour after my reservations to finally find the hotel. I made my way up to aleteo and they sat me right away. Food was amazing and fresh! I was really impressed. We ordered several different items and nothing disappointed. Drinks were great to

    Wow! Such a great restaurant and I love the details and the staff. Everyone was so nice and friendly and they even offered to take pictures of me. I loved that part! Hehe. The food is soooo good! I loved the ceviche. So fresh! We especially loved the steak. It was tender, juicy, and just perfect. I'll be back for that! The corn with it was great as well, a nice change from potatoes. The view is lovely y'all! Their rooftop has the perfect view of the Tower and the Alamodome. Perfect for visitors and when you simply want to spoil yourself like I did. This restaurant is perfect to watch fireworks too. The best part...they have a Rolls Royce in the front and it's for hotel guests! The driver was so friendly and nice and let me know everything about it, you just need to consult with the concierge. So fancy!

    Just tried ALETEO, the new Mexican fusion spot that just opened inside the Monarch Hotel in downtown San Antonio, and it absolutely did not disappoint. From the moment we walked into the hotel, the service and atmosphere were incredible. The property itself is beautiful, the space has amazing vibes, and parking was surprisingly easy for being downtown. For food, we ordered the short rib, the carrot mole, the yellowtail, some cocktails, and the trio salsa verde, and everything was phenomenal. Every dish was flavorful, creative, and beautifully presented. You can tell a lot of thought went into both the menu and the experience. The only small downside was that because the restaurant is brand new and really popular right now, a couple dishes we wanted to try -- the octopus and the cochinita -- were already out of stock. But honestly, everything else we had was so good that it didn't take away from the experience at all. The views were amazing, the service from start to finish was great, and overall it was such a fun dining experience. Definitely a great new addition to the San Antonio food scene and a place I'd happily go back to.

    Went just for drinks and will definitely be back! Such a fun and gorgeous atmosphere even though I went on a rainy day. This hotel is beautiful and so is the restaurant and bar Aleteo!

    Let's just start with you need to request Joe as your server he made the experience, super enjoyable and great recommendations. We are from San Antonio and it is our first time here we had the scallops ceviche and the Tostada steak tartare both were great. I would probably order the tartare again. Oysters mignonette were delicious a little bit spicy in a great way. I highly recommend the black garlic skirt steak and order the corn tortillas. For a tasty light dessert I recommend arroz con Leche. also, I cannot speak enough about how beautiful this restaurant is you have views from both sides and great views no matter where you sit

    Absolute gem of a restaurant and location for brunch, or probably any meal, but I came for brunch, so let's talk about that. This restaurant is in the newly opened Monarch Hotel in downtown SA and they are serving up a high quality, well curated menu on their upper level. The interior of the hotel is absolutely breathtaking taking from the light fixtures, to the wall decor to the large open windows. The restaurant itself was serene, calm; the perfect place to grab an early Sunday morning brunch. From the air temperature to the table settings to the quality of the food, the entire experience was a 10/10. Our waiter was knowledgeable of the menu and was able to point me towards dishes that could be made dairy free. The espresso martini had the slightest sweetness to it, just the way it should be in my opinion. We split the Fruteria as an appetizer and it was not only aesthetically pleasing but delicious! I never eat cantaloupe or melon, but the way they prepared this with a slight hint of mint, had me reaching for more. For my meal, I ordered the breakfast tlayuda. It was presented in the the beautiful way and the various flavors of the dish paired perfectly. I will absolutely be coming back for brunch, cocktails, dinner, you name it. As of right now, parking is valet and road closures make finding the entrance slightly challenging, but those things are out of their control. I cannot recommend Aleteo enough. It is absolutely worth your time.

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

    Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
