    Guacamole
    Patricia M.

    Here on a Friday, lots of people. Small establishment with a small band of 5 people and a speaker. Yah. Too loud for this place m never the less was entertaining. Food was ok, I personally was not impressed. Appetizers, the guacamole was top notched & noticeable fresh. The pescado chicharróns a large portion, fresh and crunchy. The calamari was pretty good. The tamarindo margarita was a big too sweet. No combo plate of fried shrimps and oysters. So I ordered the fried shrimps, batter was ok. Fries were not desirable, Luke warm. Paella was good, portions enough for 2. The Spicy seafood pasta tasted like it was made with a lot of Valentina, portion enough for 2 The only things I found enjoyable was the guacamole & the attempted entertainment. Personally would not return. If so only for the appetizers.

    This is one of my go spot for seafood. Their food is so amazing. My favorite is the huachinango al la nayarit. Their drinks are great too. The service is always amazing. They have great ambiance as there is live music.

    Fish tacos

    We dined during the week close to 5pm. There were plenty of tables available. We were seated promptly. The ambiance is relaxing with pleasant Spanish music in the background playing, not too loud. Tostadas and ceviche were brought immediately, as well as the drinks. We ordered Coctel de Cameron and fish tacos. Everything was good. I was just not impressed. The prices are a bit steep, though. Service was fast and friendly. Personally, I don't see myself coming back. Come check them out for yourself and let us know your feedback!!

    Huachinango (snapper) with delicious white rice and veggies. It also came with fries and garlic bread.

    I was pleasantly surprised by this seafood restaurant. Portions were generous and the flavor was on point. My husband and I enjoyed the comfortable ambience and friendly staff. Several members of the staff stopped by to make sure everything tasted well. Food was served quickly and piping hot!

    4/23 - This place is on my list every time I go see my friend at St. Mary's or in the area. Finally got to eat here for lunch and it lived up to the hype. Not very crowded when we got there, but became busier. All the food looked good at the tables, but we were there for the Molcajete Cora. There is some fried corn tortillas, Ceviche mix, and green salsa. This was a great start to the meal with a green salsa that had some kick. The Molcajete Cora comes with Shrimp, octopus, mussels, crab legs, fish, abulone and chopped clams in a sauce that slowly grows to a perfect spice burn. I used the corn tortillas to soak up this great stew. It is a fair amount of food for one person and a good shareable plate for seafood lovers. Service was on top of our waters and making sure the tortillas stayed full. Really enjoyed this place

    Their shrimp is not deveined correctly, it wasn't just one but probably half of the shrimp on my plate was dirty.

    I'm not going to lie, I had always like las Islas Maria's. Their mojarra is the best. We ordered take out and I felt like I wanted Caldo so I ordered shrimp soup. I ordered without the peel to make sure the shrimp was cleaned/deveined. At first I thought it was, then I started finding more and more that were not. About half of the shrimp was not deveined yuk. It seems like a poor attempt at cleaning it .Definitely puts their care and cleanliness into question. I am not trusting their ceviche now.

    Cerveza preparada

    My mouth is still salivating thinking about eating here. We came with a group of four and there was about a 15 minute wait. We were seated and brought out some tostadas, limes, salsas, and complimentary ceviche! It was very fresh and not fishy tasting- very good. Our group decided to get the cerveza preparadas with six tecates garnished with shrimp, cucumbers, chamoy, lime, etc. we originally thought it was a little pricy at $45 but omg its a bargain! It comes served on a huge platter with seafood on it including crab and octopus. It's drinks and an appetizer. My husband and i split the paella and half a dozen oysters. The oysters were fresh and just what you would expect. The paella was delicious. Maybe a tad bit salty, but the beer helped with that. This place was really delicious and had large servings and blew my expectations out of the water. We will definitely be back!

    The place was packed.

    The place was packed. Some people were being over served alchohol even with a sign saying they would not. The plates were small. Our plate was missing the shrimp so they brought it out late and it was burnt. Management did not seem to care about the service. The food did not have much taste and it was over priced. Sad because I really wanted to try this place a d I am very disappointed.

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

    Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
