Beef fajita, crispy tripas and carné guisada tacos
Sophina M.

Stopped in for lunch upon several recommendations in a restaurant group that I'm in. All of the food that we ordered was very good but the posole and carné de puerco con chilé taco were OUTSTANDING. I was very much reminded of the food back home in New Mexico. The taco is what we call carné adovada and it was amazing. It was a busy brunch hour but the server was fast and efficient. The restroom was clean and if you have a friend with you, the restrooms have 2 toilets lol We will be back soon and often!!

Decorations, chandeliers, beautiful ceiling fans.

Great service, the food is absolutely delicious, and their paintings on the wall are beautiful!

Enchiladas

The bright orange building is unmistakable from the Hildebrand/Blanco intersection. We stopped by because we had a craving for texmex enchiladas. I was not very impressed. The enchiladas were very small and lacked flavor. I also ordered tortilla soup to go. The soup was flavorful and full of vegetables, avocado and cheese. I probably will not return to this restaurant again. The floor was full of customers that appeared happy with their meals.

I love Fina's!!! I went for breakfast with a couple of my friends and we knew as soon as we walked in that we would have a great time. Warm environment, friendly staff. Our waitress Leo was very animated, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. She definitely made our experience special! I'm a sucker for breakfast tacos and there's were great! Their flour tortillas are bomb. It was my birthday and my friend told the staff without me knowing and I was shocked how big of a deal they made birthdays. I wasn't expecting it at all since this is more of a hole in the wall type place, but they go hard! They BLASTED a happy birthday song, had a cupcake and birthday candle, a sombrero, and confetti. The staff sung and clapped and the whole restaurant got involved. They made me feel very special, I would definitely return here for a friend's birthday. Definitely would recommend this restaurant!

Wishing you a a happy day and God bless you all.

I'm not even playin' when I give this place 5 stars! Mis abuelos have been coming here for years and for good reason. The food is amazing... and ridiculously cheap. After a long day of shopping on Black Friday, we were all in need of some tasty grub. After dropping off tons of bags at my grandparents' house, we headed to Fina's. This place isn't fancy, but it's not a dump either. It's nice enough for a very casual date, casual biz lunch or dining with the fam. Look around to find youngens on lunch break, regulars chowing down on the regular and others who are in the know with this Mexican oasis. (That's you now.) Lunch specials are abundant offering a plethora of items under 6 bucks. Their menu consists of many different tacos (breakfast too-yum), caldos, enchiladas, salads, and many other AUTHENTIC goodies. We had a very nice waitress who seemed to really love working there, plus she spoke Spanish to my abuelita so I thought that was very sweet. I had a combo plate that involved a puffy taco and cheese enchiladas. There was not a scrap left on my plate.. and if there was my brother ate it. The chips and salsa that they bring to the table are the best I have ever had. Really. The best. Also the best.. really... are the tortillas. They are served hot, flaky and puffy. Check the pics, and you will see what I am talking about. You have to try this place. Oh! They are only open until 3pm!

Holy wow.

Logan V gave Fina's 5 stars, so when I was in the area in need of lunch, I knew his recommendation would not lead me astray. I would give Fina's 15 stars if I could. It was exceptional. Plus, anytime all the reviews for a Mexican restaurant in San Antonio compare it to the yelper's abuelita's cooking, you know you have to give it a shot! So, parking is very tough to come by. Not because the lot is particularly small, but more to do with the fact that it is packed all the time. Also a good sign, no? I found a spot and made my way inside where I was met by fellow yelper and we sat down to enjoy a fantastic Tex-Mex meal. Their lunch specials range from $5.99 to $8.99. I opted for Enchilades Mexicana. WAY too much food for one person to eat all by their lonesome. But, so delicious I tried my best. The red gravy and queso fresca on top of the enchiladas was my favorite part but the beans and rice could easily take 1st place against most places I've been around town. And I've been around... The salsa verde was so spicy and delicious I could have eaten it with a spoon but thankfully the bottomless basket of handmade chips kept showing up at our table so I didn't have to. All in all, I can't wait to go back and will certainly add this to my regular rotation! Thanks Logan V!

The food is always great. There wait staff is very friendly. The only thing I can complain about is the noise level. It is super load in there. I would recommend you making a stop for the food.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The green sauce is my favorite so far of all the pollo asadas places I have tried so far in San Antonio area. The beef fajitas were another favorite. If you're looking for the best pollo asadas in the area; definitely give them a try.

After our San Antonio River cruise, we were hungry and ready to get out of the July heat. We had…read morewanted to try Iron Cactus earlier in our trip but were too tired that evening to make the walk from our hotel. Now that we happened to be nearby, this was our opportunity. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, so there was no debate about where we wanted to sit. We headed straight for the wonderfully air-conditioned dining room, which provided a welcome break after spending time in the sun during our river cruise. Gabby was our server, and she was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive, took our order right away, and delivered our drinks promptly. What impressed us most was how she kept our drinks refilled without us ever having to ask. Her service was outstanding and made an already enjoyable lunch even better. The food was just as impressive. Our Mexican entrées were delicious and exactly what we needed after a hot afternoon on the River Walk. Between the excellent food, Gabby's attentive service, and the comfortable, modern dining room, Iron Cactus turned out to be the perfect place to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we're in San Antonio. Next time, though, we'd like to come back for dinner and experience Iron Cactus in the evening.

Didn't like one of the drinks told the server and about 10 minutes later someone co.es to the table and says "whats going on?" I'm like who are you the bartender, oh no he tells me he's the manager. Who comes to the tables not introducing themselves and says whats going on. The Margaritas were good. The paella was good. They did take off the chrages,so that was nice. Quality of food at the river walk in San Antonio isn't the greatest..
