Finally made it in! Highly recommended date night! Amazing food, great bar, and good intentioned service. Loved the Ceviche.

Bangkok-Style NY Strip with Asian Noodles
Clarrisa N.

This restaurant has only been here for one year and I'm telling you now, get in before they start getting too busy. The service was amazing and the staff were so helpful helping us decide on food but also drinks from the bar. They use a lot of fresh ingredients in their cocktails, we recommend the mojito and the margaritas. They do have a happy hour so I highly suggest going during the week. Dishes were flavorful. For the appetizer, we tried pork belly ceviche and recommend it. We also had the Bangkok New York steak, great flavor but seemed to be hard to chew through due to the vein of the steak or the silver skin , however the picanha dish was amazing and would highly recommend. They have a special on Thursdays for two to include paella and sangrias for two. We plan to go back and try. The atmosphere is cozy, dim lit, and had jazz renditions of today's hits. They only have one dessert on the menu and it's a cheesecake made with blue cheese. I can tell you that neither of us like blue cheese, highly despise it, yet for some reason blue cheese in this cheesecake is absolutely amazing. If you do not like blue cheese, I suggest giving it a try. A kids menu is available as well as outside seating.

Grilled Spanish Octopus

Husband and I really enjoyed this restaurant. Decoration is pleasant to the eye and provide a warm/comfortable atmosphere. The choice of music is appropriate and volume is just right to be soothing without interfering with conversation. We had an exceptional experience with the server and the manager of the restaurant. We enjoy conversations with people from other countries for which it was nice to mingle with them for a while. The ceviche (did not take a picture) was delicious and flavors were balanced without lime overpowering the dish. All this to say, don't expect it to taste like most of the ceviches in local Tex-mex kitchen; keep an open mind. The main dishes (pictures provided) were presented beautifully and flavors were perfect for us. Definitely will go back and highly recommend, specially if you enjoy flavors from different parts of the world.

Carpaccio,10 Oz Stirp, Tequeños, flat bread and sauces
Mauricio A.

I took my mom there for Mother's Day and the food was absolutely delicious. We had an amazing experience. The staff is pleasantly friendly. Both, my mother and I consider this one of the best restaurants in San Antonio. The carpaccio is one of a kind. The NY Strip was delicious and perfectly cooked. The tequeños reminded us of home. Thanks you for the exquisite cuisine and amazing service.

Wow!! This restaurant is incredible! It offers a fine dining experience in San Antonio inspired by Latin flavors and crafted with international flair. Every dish is made from scratch with premium ingredients and artistic presentation & we are happy to share that their beef dishes are prepared with HALAL - certified meat! Be sure to ask the restaurant directly to make sure this info is up to date :) The place is meant to be intimate, so it's a smaller restaurant with date-night vibes. This is definitely an undiscovered gem that people need to visit! Every offering was absolutely delicious and we were so glad to be here! From mocktails, to apps, main, and dessert, everything was spectacular! You can quite literally taste the quality! Right now, only dinner is offered during the weekdays, but if you're feeling brunch/lunch, check them out on the weekends (12-10pm)!

Forest Pork Belly Ceviche
Luigi B.

A new find for me and it was amazing. The menu is small but it doesn't seem that way since the food is amazing! Our server (Andrew) explained the dishes and their preparation, very knowledgeable and worked so well with everyone really. The bistro itself is so inviting and comfortable (although it was a bit chilly probably because we a a cold day today), plenty of room which makes staying to enjoy your meal so refreshing. I can't believe it wasn't until my last dish that I thought to take a picture, the pork belly ceviche. We also had two fish ceviches, the Carpaccio, and an amazing goat cheese crochet salad, just phenomenal. Go to Anhelo Bistro, I promise you will enjoy.

Sangria
Tootie M.

Went here on a whim because the menu was right up our alley. I love it when an unassuming restaurant in a strip mall turns out to be an amazing experience. I love the ambiance and the playlist were perfect. We download and listened the music on the way home. My husband and I shared 2 pitchers of sangria the best I've had since moving to Texas 6 years ago. We prefer a red wine forward and less sweet sangria and they made it to our liking. We ordered both ceviches, lomo saltado, and the Spanish octopus. Everything was absolutely delicious and so flavorful.

Basque Cheesecake with Wild Berries
Tiffany H.

There's a reason there's only 5 star reviews. Every year I take a solo vacation to get some time to myself as a mom; a momcation if you will. I eat out every meal often trying new places nearby my hotel (where I nap, take long luxurious baths, and relish in the quiet ‍). This time I came across Anhelo and I saw they had ceviche. I love me some ceviche so I figured why not? Oh my goodness. This was SO GOOD. I had the Ceviche Aji Amarillo to try something different and I was NOT disappointed. Truly had to stop myself from licking the bowl--this is fine dining don't ya know. Finished it off with the basque cheesecake and I texted my husband "I'm mad I'm getting full because I feel like I'm doing a disservice to how amazing this is" (I did finish it off though ). My server was fabulous and helped with any questions I had about the menu. We're going back this weekend for our 16th anniversary because I want to try a few more things on the menu and I can't wait to share with the husband.

Squid ink and watermelon cucumber marg

Delicious, quiet, intimate setting. Delicious food. Enjoyed the margaritas. Arrived in time for happy hour which was nice. The empanadas were killer and the goat cheese and pear salad was my absolute favorites

Banana chips
Ana A.

This was a great restaurant! It's been at this location about 6 months. I went for dinner and this place was 10/10. The service was great and the food was absolutely delicious. I was there for dinner and they are planning to do brunch on Sunday's as well ! I recommend if you want fresh and delicious food! Spread the word on this place. The decor is nice a cozy with a classy but not too flashy style.

I had an appointment on this side of town and then dinner plans. I had some time to kill so I decided to try a couple plates from the menu. I love the idea that they have dishes from different countries. I settled for the ceviches. Both has leche de Tigre, one from Ecuador and the other is just titled Anhelo ceviche. It reminded me of Peruvian ceviches. It was absolutely delicious! To me this restaurant is a bit upscale. The service is prompt. They give you some sort of complimentary mixture of popcorn and fried plantain chips. They refilled it without even asking even though I wasn't planning on getting full This restaurant is definitely a date night spot for anybody looking for this type of ambiance! I will be back for sure!

Grilled salmon done perfectly

Love this place. Great food. The chef is from Peru so the ceviche is authentic. Great personal service and lovely ambiance. Each table is set up so they feel private.

I'm glad I ordered the small portion because it was filling. I had half of my biscuit leftover. My boyfriend ordered a coffee and the smoked brisket & cheddar omelet. For his sides he got the hash browns and a grilled biscuit. The omelet was delicious and the grilled biscuit was okay to me. My boyfriend enjoyed all of his meal! Our server was friendly and attentive. No complaints on the service. I think we will definitely have to come back!

I finally put it on this year's schedule and planned to go with a group of ten. But, as the day drew nearer, folks just started cancelling for various reasons, until we finally ended up with a party of five today. When we arrived, I was surprised at just how much of a "bar and grill" this was. I started getting nervous about the food. I know we've all been to bars that had horrible food before. Fortunately, this is not one of those bars.The food here was really good. We started with an order of fried mushrooms served with gravy and deviled eggs. I'm not a fan of fried food, but the others all seemed to enjoy them. There was a huge mound of them that all but disappeared. I opted for the deviled eggs- one of my favorite foods. These were topped with a crunchy strip of bacon and served with a pile of pickled jalapeno slices. The were super delicious! On our member's recommendation, I tried the orange chicken served with fried rice for my entree, as did two others. I was overwhelmed with the gobs of food the server sat in front of me. There were at least twenty bite-sized nuggets of chicken sitting on top of a bed of fried rice. That bed was obviously a California King! They were lightly covered in the orange sauce, but still crunchy. It was a very satisfying meal. I had the other half for supper, and it was almost as delicious heated up in the microwave. One of our people had a pepperoni pizza. It was probably about 18". The crust was amazingly thin. It just looked awesome to me. My friend enjoyed it, but carried a lot home with her. The fifth person in our group had the Reuben sandwich. She said it was delicious, but was put off by the amount of fat on the meat. Encore makes their own pastrami. The chef explained to her that the fat on the pastrami was what most people thought made it such a delicious meat. I know it looked great to me. I will most likely have that next time I visit, and there will be a next time.

We'll absolutely be back!! New fav spot!!

I went for brunch on a Saturday. We tried a few items on their menu and shared between four of us…read more We started with the avocado toast crostini and the berry and goat cheese crostini. Both were very good. The avocado toast had a distinct lemon taste to it. The berry and goat cheese were excellent. The goat cheese, and the sweet berries made a great combination. For our main meals, we shared the eggs Benedict Trio, the Chilaquiles, the berry lemon croffle, and the banana foster French toast. The eggs Benedict Trio comes with a choice of three eggs Benedict from their menu. We had the original with Canadian bacon, the green chili pulled pork and the crabcake. Everyone loved the green chili pulled pork. The Chilaquiles came with your choice of red or green salsa. I chose the green one. It was a little spicy. It came with two eggs. I thought that it was missing some cheese. It could've also used a little bit more salsa. The banana foster French toast was to die for. Very good and definitely tastes like banana foster. The croffle was a great addition to our meal. We thought it was very good. Half of us had never had a croffle and now we are in love with them. They did give us a free desserts as we were celebrating my friend's birthday. For drinks I had the elderflower spritz. It's a little on the sweet side for me. The sangria was perfect. My friends had the bloody Mary and they liked them. They have inside and outside seating. They do take reservations. There's parking on site, but shared with the other businesses. The Waitress very nice. She was working the inside and the outside, But we never had an issue getting her attention or with any of our requests
