    Jalapeños under new management food so delicious

    Under new management food is delicious and service is number one. We order Tacos and Enchiladas taste is very good

    Cilantro was old and yellowish

    We used to like this restaurant but visited them last Friday and was disappointed. Ordered the mini tacos asada ( pork) . The flavor is bland just probably salt and pepper. Didnt have the. Mexican flavor. The meat was gamy . Just tasted one and the three tacos took home and threw it away. The menudo was very salty.Customer service was great.the cilantro was old ,wilted. See picture.

    Current menu 7.31.24

    Good food served hot and most items made to order. Good variety of breakfast tacos and good variety of food options

    So good that I forgot to take a photo before I ate it all up! Best beans in SA. Flavorful & delicious!

    The food is so good that I forgot to take a picture... Started eating the second it was served. Delicious roasted peppers and onions, the most flavorful beans I've had in SA by far, and tortillas were super soft and sturdy. By far one of my favorite new places to eat.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was quiet, the tables were spread out so as not too tight and the food was delicious. There is seating inside cozy settings with saltillo tiles as if you were in a garden. There is also a full stocked bar inside and an area for a private event if desired. I ordered the Carne Guisada Platter and my daughter ordered Carlos' Special, their signature dish. The meals were exceptional. Unfortunately one of the owners daughter passed away some years ago and in her remembrance, a Jardin was named for her, "Jessica's Jardin" . The Jardin is in back of the restaurant and it is very nice. There is a Margarita bar, a pretty green flower garden, a water pool, and a Jungle Jim for children to play on. There are tables and chairs to sit also stand-up electric heaters just in case there is an outside event in the cool weather and the Jardin is accessible by ramp. RECOMMENDATION: Overall, I would return to El Chaparral Mexican Restaurant in Helotes for another exceptional meal and a short trip for some shopping in Old Town Helotes.

Packed on Fridays and weekend, be prepared for a line or reserve a table in advance. Nice decorations. Kid friendly, there was a spacious playground outside. Mariachis arrived around 6pm.

    This is now a different restaurant called Playa Sinaloense. I don't know if it is a different owner…read moreor what. You can't find it on Yelp under the new name, which is frustrating as this place is NOTHING like it was. Even your credit card statement will still say House of Flavor. The menu is now a mariscos style seafood menu. My son and I were thrilled when we saw the change and the first time we went, we both loved it. He had a whole fish of some kind, and I had a cocktail of mixed seafood like shrimp, crab, and octopus. It was fresh, spicy, and flavorful. Today, we went back. This time my son got the seafood cocktail that I had the first time. Sorry I don't know the names, but the only menu I could find on line was a photo that was way too small to read. Anyway, he liked it and said it was the same as when I had it. I made a bad bad bad choice. I just wasn't feeling seafood to I ordered the enchiladas asadas. I mean come on... This is a MEXICAN restaurant in SAN ANTONIO. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to be served the absolute WORST Mexican plate I have ever had. Those of you who read my reviews know that I rate a Mexican restaurant on their tortillas, rice, and beans. If those are good, the rest of the plate is usually okay at least. Let me break this meal down for you. Refried Beans- I have honestly had better out of a can. Rice- This was brought to me about 15 minutes after the rest of the food. It was plain white rice that was cooked to a mushy consistency. I tasted it to see what it was like with no plan of eating it. I had already given up on eating at all. But back to the tortillas- There were none served. Now let me do my best to describe the enchiladas. They were small corn tortillas with about a spoon full of meat inside and folded like tacos. There was a thick red sauce all over them. It did not taste like any kind of enchilada sauce I have ever had. It was sweet and left a foul aftertaste in my mouth. There was a white cheese on top that I can only describe as slimy. Yes... I said slimy. The enchiladas were flooded with that awful sauce and had turned to mush. Our server was very nice and helpful. The iced tea was very good. The venue was nice and clean. Will I be back? Yes, at least one more time once I have had sufficient time to get today's horrible food out of my head. But, you can bet your sweet behind that I won't go near anything but the seafood on the menu.

    Stopped by for lunch and was seated right away--no wait at all. The atmosphere was quiet and…read morerelaxed, making for a chill dining experience. They offer lunch specials every day, along with complimentary chips and salsa to start. The staff was attentive and quick, ensuring great service. If you're looking for vegetarian options, they have a few and the chickpea tacos are a personal favorite. They also have a daytime happy hour, perfect if you need a drink to unwind after a long day.
