2nd time here and it was a good experience. My wife and I had the fish tacos. 2 tacos per oder. They were pretty good. Very tasty. Coleslaw was freash and crispy and had very good flavor. My daughter had the chicken tender. She liked them. They were Freshly made. They came with season fries. Good Size plate. Definitely will come back to try other stuff on the menu. Staff was friendly. read more

Recommend: Maybe. I was looking for their Market and hadn't eaten and checked it out. I would say this is probably more of a place where you come to drink and hangout. Food: I ordered the Fish-N-Chips. The food was ok. Something you could probably make at home. Nothing spectacular. The portions were good. The tarter sauce is what gave it the flavor. The fries where crispy. The soda came from a can. I also subbed their slaw for their potato salad. It was good and creamy. Service: The service was good. The staff was very friendly and once I received my food, the staff checked in on me once. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]I can see this place as a hangout bar to drink with friends. Kinda reminds me of someone's backyard out in the hill country[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Parking is difficult. read more

Pretty awesome spot! Can't believe it too me this long to try it. Parking is a bit tricky but worth it once you get inside. I went with the juicy BBQ brisket burger special featuring a tangy bbq sauce topped with extra crunchy onion rings. Soooo good and soooo big! And you know I had to pair it with my favorite beer Viva Brewery My son really enjoyed his Beer Battered Fish & Chips. This plate was huge so I helped him a little (as usual). We both loved the Fries! They are those crunchy kind we all love. My wife loved her 1/2 pound Cheddar Cheesy Burger! I didn't get a bite because it was that good. We both agreed that these burgers were super fresh with an elevated taste. Just what we wanted! I'll be back for the Ribeye Sandwich or the Roasted Lamb Sando. Both look amazing. read more

This was my first time at La Tuna. I had high expectations since my bf raved about it. We got there around 6:30/6:40. We went inside to order there was no line. I ordered the chicken fried chicken sandwich with NO MUSTARD. We also order fried mushrooms. Around 7:15 I tell my bf I think it's been long enough that we should have our food. He goes to check on our food. Well come to find out they never made our order. The only good thing about this was they refunded our money and still made the order. We get our order and my side is the wrong side, they put mustard in my chicken sandwich. And people that ordered after us ordered fried mushrooms so we didn't get ours. I still ate my food I didn't go complain since it was free, but it was just very disappointing. Especially seeing other people get their food before us. Probably won't go back. read more

This was a recommendation from a person in our group, and I'm so glad we came. Big portions, big smiles and an overall amazing spot! Let me start by saying their outdoor patio/seating area is massive just like their portions! I can definitely see this being a cool spot to spend warm Texas nights at. Since it was our first time, we asked for recommendations, and the first thing they said was getting a full order of the fried mushrooms. Great choice, highly recommend if you love all things friend and mushrooms, they did not disappoint. They had a special brisket burger, topped with onion rings bbq sauce and the fixings. I wasn't a huge fan as I didn't think the burger had that much flavor and I think with the onion rings I had hit my fried food limit. I did try my friends blacked chicken sandwich po boy, not gonna lie, that was the best tasting chicken I've had anywhere! I couldn't stop eating it, it was that good. Someone got the fish tacos and that was hella good too. Bummer I ordered the wrong thing, but everything else we had was off the hook. If you love supporting locally owned businesses, I'd recommend checking this place out. Everyone we interacted with was gracious and friendly! read more

If you're looking for good Fish & Chips n San Antonio, head over to La Tuna Grill in the Arts District. This LatinX Owned business is rated 4.5 Stars on Yelp. Shown here is their Fish & Chips plate with house-made Cole Slaw. The fish is meaty and firm cooked with a crispy batter which is not too greasy at all. Fries are also crispy with lite sprinkling of salt. Finally the Cole Slaw is freshly made with just a hint of Dill. The service here is friendly and quick. My meal arrived within five minutes of my order. There is seating both inside an air conditioned room, about 13 tables as well as seating outside under a covered patio. Give La Tuna Grill a try, it could be your new favorite place for Fish & Chips too. Eat in Good Health. read more

Really cool place near the river! Love outdoor seating area. As for the food, not so special. We got the nachos and wings. Wings were good but the nachos were so underwhelming. Kinda disappoint about the nachos cause it is pretty hard to mess up. The chips tasted like Walmart brand tortilla chips. There wasn't much cheese and chicken either. Also there was no sour cream haha read more

Finally got to visit the La Tuna Grill and Bar (both are separate owners and businesses). Food at the grill is hand selected and locally sourced by the owners. It's obvious they take much pride in their food because it tastes fantastic. My husband and I split the crispy chicken sandwich with fries and were beyond satisfied. They were kind enough to split our meal into two plates which was very kind of them. Service staff is great, friendly and knowledgeable. The bar side has a good selection of beers for a great price. Definitely give this place a try! read more

My Mama & I felt like exploring San Antonio's Southtown area and came across this hidden gem. We arrived around 1 PM for a late lunch. We noticed they closed at 2 PM for lunch and they were totally fine with us staying past 2 if we needed to. We ordered their most popular item the Blackened Fish Tacos $12.79 and Refried Bean Nachos $9.29. We said we would be sharing and they were so kind to split into two plates without us asking when served. Ummm the portions here are massive! Haha we left rolling out of there, but it was so yummy! I love a good cheesy and bean nachos. They may be the best nachos I have ever had at a restaurant actually! Fish Tacos were yummy as well! Afterwards we wanted to roam around the area for a drink and our server was super nice to recommend a few spots. She said you know what let me ask my Mom she knows all the spots. Turns out she is daughter to the owner. The owner is beyond sweet and was so nice to name a few places nearby. I would love to come back here to visit during the weekend! read more

This place is super cool in Southtown. The staff was friendly, tables are spaced out according so we felt super safe. I ordered the jalapeño poppers, loaded fries, fish tacos and grilled chicken salad. Let me just say the portions are perfect, they are not shistey with the portions. My tacos was full of fish and this green sauce on top was so good I would eat it out of a dumpster! read more

Had a Roasted Lamb Sandwich with fries and a beer and it was perfect. Order it everytime you see it on the menu, because when it's gone..it's gone... They have outside in inside dinning. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. This place is famous for their fish tacos, but your tummy won't be disappointed if you choose anything from the menu. read more

Great little place to hang out, have some ice cold beers and chat with friends. We were there Saturday evening and it was nice out, a huge tree branch fell and came close to hitting us though definitely should keep the trees trimmed for safety. We still enjoyed ourselves and met up with some friends to enjoy their outdoor area. Went back on Sunday but it was cold so we found out that they have an indoor glassed in area for rainy or cold weather. Definitely a place to come back to. read more

Oh my gosh. Their cheese burger... where to start. The delicious well toasted bun, cheese, well cooked beef Patty, fresh crisp vegetables. Hot fries and an ice cold drink... yum. I love the service and the food. read more

One of the better spots for lunch and weekend dining for this side of town LaTuna Grill never disappoints, they have great portion size and flavors that are always bold. Really a good spot to share a plate or if you have the appetite of a grizzly bear you'll be more that satisfied. Small family owned operation so their quality is always there, and their revolving specials unlike most places really are special. They're very creative in modernizing typical American grill items. I really cant bash them for any of their menu items the food is where they shine the brightest. Also if you want a good brunch I highly suggest checking them out. Only issues with this place is small indoor seating section, and parking can be hard to come by. Also I wish they were open a little later especially on weekends with the bar next door it would be perfect for a late night hangout spot. read more

This place isn't what it was before. The owners and staff all left to start a new restaurant I didn't know that so I went recently and obviously the menu is different, quality is horrible now. Save your time don't eat here The queso was like off brand velveeta, canned. Chips were stale, and the fish tacos were like a fish stick in a tortilla. DO NOT BE FOOLED. ANYTHING OTHER THAN SOME FRIES HERE WILL NOT BE WORTH IT. If you want old la tuna grill food go to ridge at the hill 1-35 read more

The outdoor space here is phenomenal. Plenty of seating, great atmosphere. The staff is about the nicest I've ever experienced. They were always trying to refill drinks and just overall 5 stars. I love the art inside as well - such a unique space overall with the exterior and interior. Fish tacos were the way to go. This place knows how to perfectly season and cook fish and can I also just say that any place that can make a corn tortilla not fall apart is like my dream come true. The sauce on top was fantastic and the nopalito on the side just made all flavors come together perfectly. read more

I cannot believe how long it took me to find this place!! I have fallen in love with the garden veggie bean burger. All other restaurants with veggie burgers should follow their lead. They took a simple bean patty and make an exquisite burger. The burger has black beans, tortilla chips, avocado, cheddar cheese, and salsa. It's amazingly paired and has become my favorite veggie burger. With the burger I selected a side of friend and the were nice and toasted not greasy and soggy but crisp on the outside and soft potatoes on the inside. The staff is very friendly and you might even find yourself having a nice conversation with the owners. The have indoor seating and plenty of outdoor seating. They are located in south town so if you get finished exploring The Blue Star Complex, taking or walk along the river, or before you have a alcoholic drink I suggest you stop by this place and they this marvelous garden veggie burger. read more

Went on a cold, gloomy January day. Upon entering the grill you are guided by a short wall leading you up to the order counter. Immediately greeted with a warm welcome. Since we were so undecided on what to order, there were a lot of questions pertaining to the menu. The Staff member graciously gave suggestions. I landed on the shrimp tacos. I substituted the blackened shrimp for fried and Nopalito salad for a Caesar. Hubby got cheeseburger and onion rings. We shared an order of fried mushrooms. Once you place your order they give you a fun mini cone with a number on it. The dining room is quaint. There was no background music or tv on. To quiet for me, so we walked across the courtyard to the icehouse. The vibe is definitely different in the afternoon in the middle of the week. We sat in the back bar on the tall tables and we had a view of the vibey courtyard. The fried mushrooms came out first. Not as good as I've had them before. They were Luke warm, still crispy. However, the mushroom was rubbery inside. Tasted like they were cooked earlier in the day. Shrimp tacos had huge golden shrimp covered by a mountain of cabbage. Caesar salad was also a bit disappointing. The lettuce was wilty and heavily coated with dressing. Hubby's burger and onion rings were on point. The portions are amazing. Flavor was on point. Next time definitely will ask for the sauces on the side. read more

Grandpa's Grill - Shrimp tacos. Cheese burger and onion rings. - Barbeque Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

#AllergenInfo - Soy: Their fry oil is Canola, not a blend, so it is soy-free. The coating for their fries is a mix they buy from a third party, so they are unsure what allergens it might contain. Their tarter sauce contains mayo, so it most likely has soy, but their slaw is mayo free. Their vinaigrette is made with Canola, and is also soy-free. The Demi-glace may be soy-free since I didn't seem to have any reaction from it. After the closing of Auden's Kitchen, I had to look for another place that served a soy-free classic version of Fish & Chips. This place moved to the top of my list, and when I was finally able to get here, I wasn't disappointed. Even though they didn't know if the coating on the fries was soy-free, I decided to take a chance anyway. They were crispy on the outside, and warm and creamy on the inside. Unlike many fries I've tried around town, I thought these were better with nothing else added, including salt. However, they don't hold their internal heat as long as the fish, so i recommend finishing them off first. The mayo-free slaw was also crisp, and was seasoned with Mexican spices, including cilantro. Unexpectedly, there was a little bit of heat in the spices that crept up on me as I continued to eat it. As with everything else on the plate, the fish was crisp on the outside, although softer on the inside than the fries. Since they knew that their tarter sauce contained mayo, they kindly offered me cocktail sauce as a substitute. It provided quite a kick to the fish, which was good, because the fish was a little bland on it's own. It was a close race, but I think it was better with the malt vinegar than the cocktail sauce. I left full, symptom free, and I'm looking forward to returning. On a second visit I had the Chicken Fried Steak, but since they weren't confident that the normal gravy was soy-free, the were happy to let me have the Demi-glace (brown) gravy as a substitute. The vinaigrette dressing is made with Canola oil, so it was safe for the side salad. The potato slices had crispy skin, had a little spice, and were still a little firm inside. The steak did need the big knife that came with the plate, but the steak had a good flavor even before I added the gravy. The Demi-glace gave the steak a really interesting and slightly sweet flavor that I think really does make a good alternative to a standard cream gravy. The crust did tend to break off the meat, but the pieces tended to stick together, and were easy to recombine with fork-fulls of the steak. By the time I got to the salad, I was nearly full, but the dressing was light and slightly sweet, and made for a nice end of the meal. I eventually got back here and was able to try their Cheezey Burger with added bacon and mushrooms. Since it would have been difficult to verify if their burger buns were soy-safe, I brought my own, and they were more than willing to use it as a substitution. The first taste fom my initial bite was a wonderful char fom the edges of the patty. The bacon added some nice flavor, but mushrooms didn't seem to. Unless you really like mushrooms. I would recommend ordering the burger without them. As before, the healthy portion of fries is better eaten first. read more

Went for lunch on a Friday with a few friends. Since it was a beautiful day we took advantage of the outdoor seating. I ordered the blackened chicken po boy and my wife ordered the blackened fish tacos. Both dishes were HUGE! My sandwich was very good, if a little hard to eat due to the size. Unfortunately my wife did not enjoy the tacos as much. They were a bit too charred and tasted a bit on the burnt side. We did also grab a few beers from the icehouse once it opened. Overall a decent meal from SA mainstay. read more

Placing the order was super easy. First, we ordered the food as a group but our food came out at a wildly different timing. So my food was cold by the time the final dish (3rd) came out. Second the bread of my lamb sandwich was soggy as it placed right next to the pile of pickles. It also oozed over into my fries and made those soggy. The lamb was served in a massive chunk so the flavoring was only really on the outside and left the inside tasting really bland. Be wary that when we sat outside there were stray cats and a few roaches. Not the restaurants fault by any means! read more

I love the casual, clean ambiance of this cozy restaurant. With my husband or no, I can go here and always find something delicious to eat. Last time I had a blackened salmon salad and it was yummy all the way to the last drop! The salmon was perfectly seasoned and the greens were fresh. They tossed the dressing in especially well and there wasn't too much or too little. The salmon was also succulent and I could order this over and over! They also have stubborn soda! An A plus! read more

Not the same since the original restaurant moved. Menu is limited, the huge smoker out front serves no justice. Only used for chicken and sausage and the chicken isn't great, couldn't even finish my chicken slider as small as it was. Burgers small compared to before when you could easily share one, yet same prices. Bar and ambience is still great and now accepts credit cards without problems. If you want the original delicious menu head to The Ridge on the Hill. read more

Have never had a bad experience here. The staff and atmosphere are always great. Have had the fish tacos and some of the po'boys. There's an outdoor bar serving drinks but be conscious they close early some nights. The nacho appetizer is pretty good too. They have plenty of outdoor seating, picnic benches spread apart so it's a safe place to eat following covid protocols. I've stopped by a few times while bike riding, also worth pointing out there's plenty of room to leave your bikes. Overall always a great experience coming here, come check it out! read more
