    We enjoyed the atmosphere & food. Service was quick. Music wasn't loud, you could have a conversation. Clean.

    Ummm... 5 stars x 10! I cannot say enough about the food, drinks, and friendly service! Hector was our bartender/server and he made us feel right at home as we sat at the bar. We had a margarita and Michelada and there were both perfect! Then came the fireworks! We had the carne guisada plate and the Gonzalez special. We left nothing behind, it was so good I literally wanted to go back the next day. Y'all, if you like "San Antonio style" Tex Mex, this place is for you!

    Cheese Enchiladas Plate
    Elisa M.

    Came here to have lunch with my little brother and his family. Kept things really simple, a glass of water (he let me know that sodas are served in the can and therefore no refills) as the tea isnt sweet but they offer sugar for you to sweeten (real southerners know better) and the enchilada plate. We were offered chips and salsa as well as we waited for our food. I will say I'm picky when it comes to rice and beans but I really enjoyed them here. The enchiladas were simple but flavorful. Overall had a nice lunch & I would come back again.

    Cancun Combo

    Some really good Tex mex. Brought my parents as they were in town for the weekend. My mom got the cheese enchiladas like she does everywhere but she ate more than I've ever seen. I got the Cancun and every bite was good. Really love their refried beans and probably the best I've had. Nothing special about the frozen margarita though. Oh and the homemade tortillas are fantastic. So fluffy and delicious you can tell they are made the right way. First time at the new location and it was so pretty inside. Had a little wait for a table but we were able to go to the bar to get drinks which was nice. And the service was quick and friendly.

    Chips & salsa (served warm)
    Big M.

    We arrived early in the evening (6is) and were seated quickly. Our server Paco was great and the atmosphere is enjoyable. Lots of familiarity with customers suggesting a lot of regulars. Chips and salsa were good but, we have definitely had better. The Carne Asada was fine but not exciting and the same went for the burrito platter. Our rice and beans could also use a bit more flavor/spice. Overall dinners were good but lacking on flavor. There is better. As I said, looked like Gonzalez has allot of regulars who enjoy the food. Solid 3 for us. Service and atmosphere 4. Give them a try, Enjoy!

    This location is super cute. The decor is great. Our server Esmerelda was fantastic. I heard that they have been having issues with checks being wrong but we didn't have any issues. We ordered a variety of different dishes for our party of 5. The only one that truly enjoyed their food had the cheese chili relleno. We had enchiladas- both chicken and beef with both sauces, shrimp nachos and a special with taco and tostada. The plates are large, lots of food, but things were bland and not properly seasoned. They are known for their tortillas but they are quite unusual, very thick, almost like a pancake. The chips and salsa are terrible. The salsa had zero flavor or spice and the chips are straight out of a bag and not even high quality. I ordered queso hoping it would be ok but it appears to be straight out of a can and is also terrible. I ordered a margarita and it is way too big but was extremely weak. $14 and wheres the liquor? This meal was highly disappointing. I don't expect to return.

    Beans and rice
    Jenna N.

    We were craving Mexican food so we came across this place, barbacoa is my go to meat choice and luckily we happen to come on a Sunday cause that's the only day they serve it. I got the barbacoa "burrito" I thought it was going to be a wrapped burrito but it was more like a taco. Tasted amazing! The flour tortilla was so soft and pillowy you can def tell it's homemade. The barbacoa was juicy and flavorful. I'd recommend getting the salsa verde, it's spicy and adds more flavor!

    So this is a great place. They moved to a new location that is still off Jefferson. The new place is charming. I love the decor and the water feature. The food here is just excellent. I came with friends, and let me tell you. So authentic Tex-Mex. Their beans and rice are so good, and I had the enchiladas. They were full of good flavor, and don't forget about their amazing tortillas. If you want some darn good tortillas, this is the place to get them. So, if you are in the Bishop Arts area off Jefferson, check them out for some great food. Don't go too fast, though, because you will miss it.

Chef Roger also stopped by our table personally to check on us and make sure everything was good. The restaurant was very clean, the ambiance was great, and the service was outstanding. It honestly made me a little sad to see it so quiet because places with good food, great people, and excellent hospitality deserve to be busy. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back.

This time I came for dinner and was amazed again at the food. We came to celebrate a birthday and I opted for the restaurant week menu. I started with the truffle lemon pepper wings which were delicious and savory. My friends had the spinach dip and the shrimp. All really good. For my entree I ordered the truffled lasagna which was tender and saucy. I didn't get much of the truffle flavor but it was delicious nonetheless and the portion was big enough for leftovers. I ended with the butter cake which was one of the best things I've ever tasted! Our server was a nice young lady that was patient and knowledge and about the menu. She was attentive and checked on us frequently. I like Winsome Prime because there is always some good 90s R&B playing. The dining room was dimly lit and perfect for date night. I can't wait to get back.

    You winsome, you lose some... and this one isn't winning anything…read more First, I'll give credit where it's due: the service was great. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant. And the cocktails? Also great. We walked in without a reservation and were told they were booked, so we grabbed seats at the bar. But honestly, the place stayed pretty empty the whole time. Felt a bit overhyped. And while we were happy to try it, the whole 'no seats' thing didn't match what we saw. Unfortunately, the food was a completely different story. The menu descriptions sounded SO good that we were actually excited about everything we ordered. We started with the Smoked Oxtail Rolls, which supposedly have oxtail, collard greens, and cheese. What we got was basically a creamy filling with maybe the whiff of an oxtail somewhere in the vicinity. I could not find an actual piece of oxtail meat, and I didn't see any collard greens either. For something called an OXTAIL roll, I was expecting... oxtail. Then came the Truffle Lemon Pepper Wings. Again, the name sounds amazing. The actual wings somehow tasted like nothing. Not lemon pepper. Not truffle. Barely even chicken. I don't know how to properly explain it other than they had almost no flavor and somehow didn't even taste remotely chicken-y. The Asian Sesame Cauliflower was easily the best of the three appetizers. It was pretty heavily doused in sauce, but at that point I was just happy something had flavor. We actually finished that one. And that was it for the food. We were hungry enough that we fully intended to order entrées afterward, but after three appetizers we basically looked at each other and said, "Meh... never mind." That should tell you everything. Now, the cocktails deserve their flowers. The Lychee Martini was really tasty, and My Last Two Dollars was excellent. It's a $22 cocktail with tequila, mezcal, passionfruit, lemon, chocolate bitters, and a little heat, and it had this really complex, layered flavor. Definitely the highlight of the night. So overall: great service, great drinks, very cool-sounding menu... but the food was booty.

Can't believe I've missed this place so many times when I'm the area! We were sitting at the bar so service was fast, though not very friendly, with plenty of showmanship to entertain. These are true mixologist and can make anything but we decided to work through the cocktail menu. My fav drink of the night was my Match Mucho, never had anything like it, but it grew on me with each sip. These are not guzzling drinks, definitely sip and savor. I didn't like all of the drinks (couldn't get halfway through the Red Headed Oaxacan), but I like the variety and that my palate was challenged. Flavors of all the cocktails were complex with many layers. And the vibe of this place was adult, and low-key. Serious cocktail connoisseurs need to check this place out!

We ordered Chicken Fingers and a Pepperoni Pizza. Both were better than I anticipated and way beyond the "bar food" stigma so many of these types of places have. Seriously, I would order them both again!
