    Chicken Enchilada Lunch Plate, Menudo, asada taco, Chilaquiles Taco.
    Monica R.

    Prices are a little cheaper than normal. Food is piping hot when it comes out. Delicious. Menudo was one of the best I've tasted in a while. Definitely going back soon.

    Tortiflauta with tortilla soup. DELICIOUS every time we've come.

    West side gem. Nice open floor plan restaurant, music playing. My grandmother always live coming here.

    Some of the same people and even more food variety. I loved this place when it was down the street and am so happy to see they have a larger place now. The sweet tea is yummy. They will even put it in a to go cup. The tortillas. Wow. Well made and melt in your mouth. All the food is good. They even have like Mexican candy there and little treats. Staff are sweet. It's. Spacious for groups now. Or table for one or two is good too. Prices are way reasonable. It's not ridiculously cheap because they do make it all well but you definitely get your money's worth. Buen provecho!

    This mom and pop shop has never let me down. Me and my mexican sized 20+ family love this place. (we never agreed on best taco place till we found this place) Carne guisada is crack like addictive. Machacado and egg is great here too. Barbacoa on the daily. You come for the tacos, but stay for the quality and customer service. My 60 year old mom who can cook with the best, loves this place for any and all of their plates. Portions are well sized. Prices are extremely fair. They take cards, considering alot of taco places dont. Their red salsa (funny enough looks orange) is very unique too, cant get enough of it, and this place.

    Good home made tortillas. Barbacoa is good. Chorizo, bean and cheese and Choriza and papa tacos are very good and not greasy. Hard to find good chorizo tacos. Their Arnold Palmer drink is also good. Sopas came with ice cream and honey, wife really liked them. Staff is nice and the restrooms are very clean.

    CG & cheese, BC, barbacoa (on a wednesday!), & chicharron ranchero... yeah... maybe i can eat 3 of the 4?!

    Ohh La Boulangerie, what can I say but delicious. A cute spot on Broadway in downtown San Antonio…read more Sylvie the owner is originally from Western France and moved close to Paris then came to San Antonio. Their baking ingredients are sourced from France and the recipes are from her and her husband. And they're a local restaurant which I love supporting! We had the Petit Dejuener Deluxe breakfast which includes one pastry (either a croissant, chocolate croissant or bread pudding), a baguette (with either butter, homemade jam or honey), organic fresh eggs made to order or quiche slice, fresh squeezed orange juice and a yogurt with granola and fresh fruit and a black coffee or tea. It's a great option for those unable to decide on what to eat for breakfast. They have sandwiches, individual baked goods, à la carte items and hot and cold drink options as well. Coffee is strong n tasty Quiche is not dry at all Baguette and croissant are fresh baked Homemade jam Fresh squeezed OJ! Makes me happy! And for those in Austin...they opened a second location in Austin West lake area.

    Croissants were sooooo delicious--I had the ham and cheese, my husband had the egg, bacon and…read morecheese, and both came with a small side of salad. I also had the raisin almond pastry the previous day, which was very good, but twice the size I needed. Love the low key atmosphere, and the French accents some of the staff have.

Recommend it if you have a small group that can fit. All the staff we encountered was amazing. Even the ones we didn't directly deal with seemed nice and pleasant towards the guests they were serving. Food was great! The iced coffee late is VERY strong but amazing. If you are a coffee lover this one is for you! It is on the sweet side though. Also got the chicken and beignets to go so no photo but it was also good. The omelette is good but very rich! Shrimp and fries were also good. Also don't skip out on trying their homemade sauce.

The Chicken & Beignets were definitely the star of the show--absolutely outstanding! The chicken was tender, flavorful, and juicy, while the beignets were perfectly sweet, fluffy, and delicious. The Pancake Flight was also super yummy if you're craving something sweet! The variety was fun, but the Bananas Foster pancake was definitely our favorite. The only downsides were the matcha, which unfortunately tasted mostly like milk, and the service. Our server was a little difficult to track down, and we had to wait a while before being greeted and getting our order in. Overall, the food was delicious and there were definitely some standout dishes! I'd come back for the Chicken & Beignets alone.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
