    Pesca Enchiladas
    James F.

    Perhaps this is the foodie in me; San Antonio isn't too far from the ranch. Just over an hour depending on traffic. So, I'm constantly watching for spots to hit for personal visits and also car club destinations. We already have a few favorites; recently asked the local car club peeps about El Mirasol. GF and I decided to head south over the weekend and stopped there based on local knowledge. Seated quickly here's my thoughts. You obvs start with chips and salsa. Chips were fine but the roasted salsa was damn weak on heat and flavor. I mean, Taco Cabana is actually spicier. I'm reading after the fact here on Yelp there might be another option we could have asked for? Entrees presented us with redemption but also some questions. Denoted as Taquitos on the menu is actually just tacos. Not fried rolls as seen at your local HEB. Her plate was tiny Corn Tortillas laden with marinated pork. Handhelds times 4 in traditional tiny bites (street tacos folks) complete with Cotija on top. In true Rooster fashion I went for seafood enchiladas in the Pesca style with a mix instead of straight one ingredient. Worthy of more exploration!

    I was in from out town visiting my son in the navy.He was being pinned.We stopped in on a Monday. To grab a late lunch, everything was pretty good. We ordered the fajita plate with the enchilada i think pecanio plate, it was excellent, it was cooked, it right could've been a little more seared, but overall it was great service is excellent, prices at bit pricey but it is worth a stop. If you're in the area, it's a upper scale restaurant..

    Location and service are always good. Perfect spot to meet halfway with friends coming in from town. Food is hit or miss. I've enjoyed their lunch meals which were great, and these fajitas were excellent, with a good price point. Rajas needed more work,and ceviche more shrimp. Prices are medium high, dependent on what is ordered.

    This place is AWESOME. I'm a big city girl from Dallas. Of course Dallas has it goin on for restaurants. El Marisol is one of the best! I dream of the next time I can have them. I've been lucky to have the same server twice Ilesis is kind, attentive and all around superb! Ya gotta have a Chispa with Tajin.

    Love, Love Mirasol, I've been enjoying Mirasol for the last 15 years.... Birthday Parties, wedding rehearsal dinners, and just hanging out with friends. Loved when it was on Blanco and now love the new location on 1604. Food is awesome along with the Chispas!!!

    Pasta Mirasol
    Richard S.

    Love Mirasol Came to have an early dinner. I saw that the special was the Mirasol pasta with either cilantro or chipotle with your choice of protein. So I tried the cilantro pasta with shrimp. It was delicious I sat outside to enjoy the beautiful weather, the ambiance was perfect. Music was great. My waitress was very friendly and attentive.

    Bone in the chicken enchiladas

    We have been coming to el mirasol for a while now and have always loved it! We came today and got a rude server and didn't even acknowledge there was a bone in my chicken enchiladas when I told him. We were in the patio and the lights kept flickering, told him and again he didn't care. Jairo was our server

    Chips, salsa, and small queso
    Rachel O.

    Overall experience was good and we would try it again. The service was a little spotty at the beginning. Probably took our server 5-6 minutes to greet us. However the woman who brought our chips, salsa and water came relatively quick. We ordered margaritas. A pet peeve of mine is no drink menu which played a part here but the margaritas were above average. We really enjoyed the salsa. Slightly different from what you normally find. Had a smoky balanced flavor. The tortilla soup had a good broth but everything else just lacked. The enchiladas were very tasty. The chicken inside was shredded and seasoned nicely and all the sauces were very good. The restaurant itself was noisy and while they were busy I think it was too much.

    Fajitas
    Mariana T.

    I have been wanting to try El Mirasol for their amazing drinks and was always so intrigued at how busy they were but I was so underwhelmed by the food. Yes the drinks were delicious and delicious and strong, however, the rest of my experience did not amaze me. The service was slow, I understand the restaurant was busy but our waiter completely forgot about us. Many times we had to ask other staff members to get him. Then the fajitas were not good, I made the mistake of getting the chicken, steak and shrimp fajitas. The taste and smell of seafood really took over the whole entire skillet. I was not a fan and have never had that happen when ordering a fixed fajita at other places.

    Chispa
    Emily A.

    We have a strong preference for the Alon location; however, the interior of this establishment is notably distinct and attractive. I gave their beef enchiladas, which were quite enjoyable. We also shared a refreshing Chispa. The service was satisfactory, though the noise level was high, which was manageable. We decided to shorten our visit.

    Guess they didn't want us to stay so they misquoted us in person so we would leave.

    We went to celebrate a family members birthday. The hostess told my wife 30 minutes, so did the Yelp app. Another individual came up and said it was going to be 2 hours. Rather than canceling our reservation I was curious if we were misquoted so we would be swayed to leave. We went to another restaurant just for our table to be ready in 30 minutes. Bummer for sure.

    Jessica P.

    The food, drinks and ambience was pleasant as usual. The food never disappoints and if you're looking for a great strong and delicious drinks then try their Chispas. It's what they are known for.

    Enchilada de Verduras
    Pooja N.

    Arrived on a Friday night at about 7:30 and waited 30 mins for a table. The table was clean and we were greeted promptly. Service was attentive. The restaurant was very packed and loud. I enjoyed my vegetable enchiladas packed with veggies and the cilantro rice was quite good. The alcoholic drinks were too strong and not enjoyable to drink. The chips were average but the green and creamy chipotle sauces were delicious!

    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

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.
