I placed an order on the phone for pick up. It took the lady 3 minutes to take my payment, super quick. It was a 12$ order I tipped her 25% and asked her to please give me chips. I have sat down and eaten at this place before they give chips for free. She brought me my order with no chips. I went back inside and asked her for chips she tried to charge me $4.32 for chips that are literally free when you sit down. I should've just not tipped her anything and paid for her overpriced chips. Will never come back here again read more

This place is not far from our neighborhood, but in the opposite direction from where we normally go, so we have come here a few times. The place is slightly out of the way, easy to miss, and not much to look at from the outside.... They decided to continue the theme inside as well, it's not very big but certainly has a cafeteria vibe to it. Some of the food is good, some of it is just okay. But what really gets me is that they literally have 3 different names posted throughout. The name of the restaurant is different on the sign on the door, on the menu, and on the sign outside... what's the name of this place? I couldn't tell you, and neither can anyone that works there. All they said was "whichever one and all of them" ....umm, what? read more

Be sure to pay attention to the price of your food. They have daily specials, but today we learned that sometimes the "daily special" cost MORE than the item on the menu. No, there was not any extra food added or anything special. On the menu, the entrée is $8.99; that same exact item was $9.99 as the daily special. Unfortunately, I could not see the board in order to see the cost. I took for granted that this establishment would not try to be so deceptive. Also, they actually charge for your basic Styrofoam to-go container. Who does that?! I will not be going back to this restaurant. Yes, it was only $1 difference but it's the principle of the deceitfulness. Not to mention, the food really isn't all that great. read more

We've been coming here for over a year now and in the beginning it was good, food and service but Reece fly we've noticed we've noticed it's gone downhill. As of today, it will be our last visit. Food took forever and then finally when it came out it came out in stages, the last person at our table receiving her order 20 min after everyone else! How crazy is that, order was not complicated, I just think they forgot the order until we asked about it! Then they bring out a mimosa in a flimsy glass that ended up spilling all over the table. Didn't bother to offer another one nor take off the last plate that came after everyone was done eating! Food was below average, enchiladas were cold and not tasteful. We will always patronize small business but when you don't take care of your customers, there is a problem with that. Last visit to this establishment!! read more

This place has a ton of daily specials, but I have only had their tacos. The place always has people in there eating from all over the spectrum. Food - I really enjoyed their Asada tacos. They are spot on with a ton of flavor that goes well with the cilantro and onions. Highly recommend getting this taco. Also had the beef fajita, but it wasn't on par with the Asada. It went well with their spicy salsa. Their breakfast tacos are really good and before 11AM are 3 for $3.25 Service - I only got mine to go the 2 times I've been there, but the lady at the cash register is nice and prompt with the order. She even filled up my water cup. Atmosphere - Small little restaurant that has room for a group. Typical SA Mexican restaurant with pictures and specials on the wall. Overall - I will be back to this place. I want to try their menudo on the weekend. Check them out and get one of their daily specials. read more

The waitress was rushing us, and tried to get her attention several times which she disregarded, I had to ask another one to help us.

Came and tried out this place in the recommendation of one of my coworkers. I kept hearing all of my techs talk of this place & when I asked about a good soup (I'm under the weather) they said "Cholula's has great Tortillas soup!" Little did I know how good it would be. The portion was huge, it was like a quart container and it was 1/2 full of chicken! The broth flavor was good-not greasy, not too much "extra stuff" thrown in to add texture & there was fresh avocado on top. You get a baggie of tortilla chips and either flour or corn tortillas with your order. I actually could finish it & brought it home where it didn't last, my hubby devoured it! I look forward to trying out other dishes they offer as if my techs (who eat all over town and in other cities) love it, it must be really good! read more

Situated at the north end of Broadway, Cholula's is kind of off the beaten path for me - but I'd watched its progress prior to opening a year or two ago, and was curious how it had turned out. Soooo....it's a nice little place with friendly staff and good food! Open for breakfast and lunch, Cholula's offers daily specials in addition to its comprehensive menu. Everything I tried was well-prepared: flour and corn tortillas (both made "in house"); chips and salsa; beans and rice. I found the guisada de puerco - chunks of pork in a chipotle-spiked tomatillo sauce - to be both tasty and refreshingly unusual. Service is exceptional, portions are ample; and the $6.49 lunch specials (which include tea) are a good deal. In summary: the detour to get to Cholula's is well worth it! read more

Im not from here. I come here for work every couple of months. This place is right by my office. So very convenient for me to get some breakfast tacos in the morning. Ive eaten here everyday for 2 weeks besides on Sunday. Cuz they are closed. Everyday the same consistent food. Which is really good. Breakfast tacos are super good and their hot sauce red and green go perfect on them. Today like a few days this week I also ate lunch here. More consistently great food. Ive tried a few things on the menu now and I haven't had anything bad. I mostly stick to chicken stuff if you're wondering. Even if this place was out of my way Id still go. Its worth it.

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

The margaritas are $16 +, but come out of the tap. Bland and watered down. I always want a margarita shaken. I also can't believe a Mex place does NOT offer chips and salsa complimentary. That's a Texas sin. I tried the poblano burger, medium. It was ok, but really dry. The fries were good. Ultimately, my test for a good marg is to have the bartender make my favorite, Blanco tequila, Cointreau, and lime. He did, but added fake lime juice and didn't use Cointreau. It also wasn't good. I'm bummed. Beautiful patio, lots of potential, but it's just not it.

From the ambiance, to the AMAZING food, to the perfectly made margaritas, to the knowledgeable wait staff. I enjoy everything about La Fonda. I highly encourage you to make a reservation, unless you are like me and like to visit as a party of one. I always leave feeling like I made a great choice by visiting La Fonda. If you haven't been, use this as your cue to make a reservation and enjoy a wonderful meal on their patio. *side note: they do have indoor dining, but I love the patio and highly recommend it

Had a fabulous date night at Los Azulejos! We walked in and saw a fabulous item on another table…read more Our server was able to tell us what it was. Naturally we were intrigued and ordered immediately! We got a hybrid of the POLLO Y CARNE and MAR Y TIERRA and it was fantastic! Way more food than the 2 of us could eat! It included: Grilled chicken breast and juicy ribeye strips and zarandeado style shrimp, served in a traditional molcajete with nopales, guacamole, sweet peppers, grilled queso fresco, chiles toreados, and cebollitas cambray all smothered in green ranchera salsa. Accompanied with tortillas, charro beans and rice. Los Azulejos never disappoints! Food, staff and atmosphere make this a great choice for lunch, dinner, or special occasion. Plenty of free parking. Changing table in ladies restoom. Full bar.

House margarita was above average for house drink and inexpensive tequila. Service: very polite server but forgetful. Also was slow to bring check. Ambience: clean but nothing special beyond that.

This place is a small hole in the wall type place but if you are looking for great Mexican bbq food…read more- look no further. The menu is fairly simple but everything is too notch. The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

Pollos Asados serves really good food and is definitely worth checking out. The flavors are bold,…read morethe chicken is cooked just right, and everything comes out fresh and satisfying.

The family and I went here for dinner on a Friday night. Although it looked crowded on the outside…read moreand we thought there would be a long wait, we were seated within five minutes inside the restaurant. We ordered the table side guacamole, steak fajitas and a chicken salad. Overall the food was very tasty and the portions we good. Of course it was a little pricey because it is on the river walk. The only negatives was that services was really slow and the dining area is very crowded. It took awhile for our waitress to make it to our table and she was gone in a flash after we told her our drink orders (we were ready to put in our food order by the time she go to our table, but she was gone.) That was the main theme for the night. She would stop by our table ask a question get an answer and was gone before we could say anything additional. It just made the experience a lot longer than it needed to be.

Really nice ambiance in and out; we sat inside…read more First just real talk, they need to deep clean because it stinks inside. I know that smell and it is deeply embedded grime. The food is ok.

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.
