    I've been coming to El Cevichero since they had their food truck at the block. I order the same thing every time ... Birria tacos. They have the best flavor and pair perfectly with the consome. They are pretty big tacos, and upon first glance, you might think three won't fill you up, but trust me, they do. Because the food truck is located in a food truck park, it can get very busy on weekends and sometimes take a while to get your food. However, this is understandable as they have 2-3 people working. Seating is also limited, which can be difficult since you have to wait around for a table. The great thing is that they give you a buzzer after your order, so you have time to go search for a table. You won't regret trying this place!

    Quesitacos de Birria

    I came here on a Saturday night and it was a 50/50 with the food. The quesitacos de birria were crispy and DELICIOUS! I could have eaten 10 of these. The mini tacos de diskada left a lot to be desired. They were soggy and the seasoning on the meat just wasn't doing it for me. Overall, I would order the birria tacos again if I was hungry and in the area, but I won't be going out of my way to come here. Similar to other Yelp reviews, we experienced an exceptionally long wait time on our food. I was expecting a little bit of a wait, I believe we were quoted 20 minutes, but it took ~ 50 minutes for our two orders of tacos to be ready. It wasn't busy and there was only two orders that were ahead of us when we arrived. Clearly something had gone wrong and either the order didn't go through or it got lost, because the employees kept poking there heads out to look at us and after about 35 minutes asked us what we had ordered. We got our food, eventually, but seeing as the quality was 50/50, I can't say that I recommend this place or will be coming back.

    Customer service was great! Loved that they had music and seating while you waited on your food. My three queso-tacos missed the mark flavor-wise for me. The accompanying sauce was more like a broth and had a very light flavor. It did nothing to enhance the tacos. The cerviche was fresh and flavorful! Definitely a win there. My wait wasn't long and you get a good amount of food for what you pay!

    I'm still wishing Yelp can offer a no stars option. Some places never fail to disappoint. Don't get me wrong food was bomb (from what they had left) but the service was really slow. Sometimes the service itself will remind you not to return to a place. It sucks that we visited two hours before closing and they only had one dish left. This location was the one next to the River Walk.

    Quesibarilla tacos

    Saw a recommendation for this place from SA foodie, and whewwww it didn't disappoint. Came here on a Friday night for food and live music. Advertised country music Fridays from 730-10. We ordered the Quesibarilla tacos which were amazing. 3/$10 with the dipping sauce and cilantro/onions/radishes for garnishes. We also saw it was BYOB but they also offer michelada mix for $15 for a large mason jar. I recommend bringing your own cups, limes, etc. but the mix is really good. The live music was also really good and it was a really cool, chill hang out with some awesome food. We plan on coming back soon!

    If you like ceviche you MUST give this place a try! Been here three times and have ALWAYS enjoyed and we make it a point to come back every time we are in San Antonio. The Ceviche is always fresh and marinated to perfection. My favorite one is the hawaiian ceviche as it has pieces of strawberries that makes the fish flavor pop! The green ceviche is also good but a bit spicy IMO. The ceviche is served with fresh tostadas, saltines crackers and two types of hot sauces. The individual portion is $14 and is quite generous. There's a bigger portion but we like to stick to the individual sizes so we can each have our favorite flavor/style. They also have tacos and quesibirrias available. Apparently there's multiple locations but I can only speak for the one in cupples Rd. This is a BYOB location and is kept very clean. The owner is very involved and it's always making sure you receive the best customer service and have a great experience. This location only opens Thursday-Sunday.

    Best birria tacos in SAN ANTONIO TX

    I'm happy to be giving a positive review!! This is the best food truck-Not only is the food delicious but these people take pride in keeping everything clean!!! The seafood is fresh and clean and the birria tacos r the best I've ever had! They also are meticulous in the presentation of the food. Great serving size portions (surprisingly with todays prices)! I Highly recommend it! I remembered to take a pic when we were almost done eating (the tacos are filled to the top with beef)!

    This place is a most try, everyone that works there is so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing I live on the other side of town but will Drive all the way over there for their food. Me and my family love it been there to many times. Don't sleep on them definitely recommend everything!

    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.
