Drinks & service outstanding. Selina was our waitress and she rocked! We got the combo fajitas and the meat was spot on, however the sides were meh. But to top it off, the skinny margarita was spot on! Good job Jason!
Reserved a table in advance for a party of 15. We elected NOT to secure a private room (which they do have in their inventory) but chose to be seated up front at the restaurant. Several of our party arrived super early (like our reservation was at 7:00 and folk were there at 6-6:15) and they started with apps and drinks. We had one waiter for our party (Matt) and he did a good job taking care of all of us. We (hubs and I) started with an order of guacamole and chips. The quac was ok, could've used more citrus and salt and am pretty sure the chips were house made. They left a very oily residue on your mouth (but was still good). The early birds stated that the restaurant was out of several items and each time they attempted to order something, they were told "I'm so sorry but we are out of xxx". And on a Friday night no less. Oops. I ordered the crispy picadillo tacos and hubs the carne guisada. Tacos were bland but edible. Beans were barely luke warm and rice was typical Mexican rice, nothing memorable.Hubs' guisada though was terrific. A little on the salty side but was more of a chuck /pot-roast guisada. He enjoyed it. No desserts were ordered (drinks and apps only) as we had a post dinner reservation in El Ultimo; the speakeasy that sits behind the Dulce Aroma Bakery. The entire "food court" takeover concept is banging. A Mercado with a ceviche bar, tortilleria, fruteria, bakery, bars, merch and more. Fantastic! Just what the city, Rivercenter Mall and tourism to San Antonio needs. However I was underwhelmed with Tres Arcos and a smidge disappointed as the whole concept is a Jason Dady concept. And his restaurants are terrific. Maybe the food game here will get better but for now, it's only a "meh" from me.
This is a really enjoyable new addition to the Riverwalk milieu. They have plenty of Mexican food fast casual options from ceviche and oysters to tacos, churros, pan dulce and much more. I liked the small displays scattered throughout of dry goods, moles, candies, chiles and other gift items easy to take back home. After a bad concha experience elsewhere earlier that day, I needed a good concha to erase that memory and the onsite panaderia, Dulce & Aroma, truly delivered. The mini vanilla concha was excellent - crisp and sweet outer shell with a soft and spongy interior, como debe de ser. However, the marranito could have packed more piloncillo and was a tad dry for my preference.
The newly renovated food court is awesome! We looked around and checked out menus and prices were on the higher side. They had some neat products and overall I guess we'll wait and see how it does. We did try the aguas frescas and they didn't have the flavor we wanted. We ended up picking a regular lemonade in the large cup. The larger cup was not a large and with tip was $9. Ridiculous...
Was pleasantly surprised to find this place inside the San Antonio mall. The staff is really kind and very helpful. The food is where it slightly lacked. The tacos were a bit cold when we received them but the conchas were the bets I've ver had! Would definitely return just for the conchas
A 12oz big red costs more than a carne guisada with cheese taco...crazy! Was it good? Yes of course, it's big red!
This is in the mall. The food was ok and not very hot. They were not welcoming and didn't even greet us when we got there. Also no explanation on what was on the food line. Some were rude and some going through the motions. They need customer service training.
This is a great concept! They have multiple options in one space. We decided to dine at the sit down restaurant and loved it. The service was phenomenal.Alyssa took great care of us. Their margaritas are great. Food was great. Decor was great. Stop reading reviews and just get over there!
Loved the vibes here!!! Drinks Abs food was amazing!!! Annaleise was phenomenal!! 10/10 recommend. Truly the food was just meh, but the staff was super dope and made our time here spectacular!!! I would love to come back!!
Okay I love that they put this place as a local just gives us more places to visit and bring in tourism. I know they just opened so I'm going to assume they're just figuring out the kinks. My 4 star is just bc it's new and local, pretty cool concept. Should be a 3 star. The food I went to the burritos and bowls and just being honest chipotle is better. The rice lacked everything. The best thing I had was the red salsa. the aguas frescas best thing we tried. Took 15 min for a margarita on the rocks that lacked and it wasn't super busy for that type of service. Again this is new so maybe we just need to let them get in the groove and hopefully service and food gets better.
Mexico Ceaty is very beautiful, aesthetically. However, the food was beyond disappointing. We ordered tacos and watched the server grab 2 blobs of lard, it didn't fully heat up and he dipped the small tortillas for 3seconds and took them out. They weren't hot or cooked at all. They were cold and hard when we ate the tacos. You could visibly tell and taste that the meat had been sitting there since earlier. It wasn't warm or hot either and he was scraping the metal container to get enough for a taco. My brother ordered aguachile and it tasted nothing like aguachile. The octopus in the ceviche was hard and chewy. Overall, a very disappointing visit. Service was ok, we asked the other server for something from the toppings bar and she said she didn't understand Spanish... smh. If I return it will most likely be to try the bakery but I don't have high hopes. It was surprisingly empty for being the weekend, so ambiance was kind of dim, not very lively.
When we decided to go to this restaurant, it was the first night of their soft opening during Fiesta and we were headed to the River Parade. They had signs up saying be patient since their staff was still learning. So this is what became of the space that used to be River Center Mall food court. Once inside, it was clear they made great use of the space. We even spotted Jason Dady (the guy behind it all) a couple of times. We opted for the street tacos made how we wanted them and they were absolutely delicious. It was clear that some of the workers were still learning, but we got great customer service. During our meal, the river parade was cancelled, so we decide to just have some after dinner drinks and relax while traffic died down. At least one of the higher ups came over to talk to us and see how we were liking things so far. He gave us a little information on the hopes they have for the restaurant. It's a festive spot but the food is a little pricey.
It is a cool concept. Fun to go check out. I have not been impressed with any Jason Dady restaurant lately. There are few restaurants and a bakery. I bought some goodies from the bakery which were nothing really impressive and I tried the mole flight. That looked so very interesting to try... waste of money! They might be great in a full cooked dish but so bitter and overwhelming and spicy not in a good way on their own. I think I saw they have a salsa flight too which might have been better to try on its own. I was planning to try to ceviche and I realized I might be disappointed too Don't get me wrong Jason Dady is such a nice chef! I have met him at many events. He is also such a nice person very humble and kind. Maybe I am more into real street food not the upscale kind in a street food setting I will definitely take friends and family to check it out when I have visitors and sample other dishes. I just wouldn't venture there on my own

Mexico Ceaty is such a cool concept, I love how they reinvented the under utilized food court area at the River Center Mall. They have a sit down restaurant, two bars a bowl and burrito service, street taco counter a bakery and plenty of products for sale. We stopped in for margaritas just to check it out and it was such a cool vibe. They had mariachis playing music throughout, it was like experiencing a Mexican market with so much to offer from craft drinks to casual dining. Everything is cohesive and well designed to give patrons a wonderful experience with amazing drinks and food. read more
I wouldn't say this was the best Mexican food I've ever had but the concept and layout was fun. Located on the Riverwalk level of the mall, you start out at the Panderia where you can order Mexican, sweet breads, breakfast tacos, and coffees. There's a taco bar area where you can order mini tacos with the meats ready in hot plates (so not made to order). Next is a salad burrito bowl area. In the middle is a seafood area that it is a standout like a bar and at the very end is a sitdown restaurant. You order your food and take it to the seating area of your choice, which overlooks the Riverwalk. Amongst the eateries are touristy items that can be purchased from aprons to T-shirts to books. What I liked was that you could add whatever toppings you wanted to your tacos, which is helpful since the tacos had limited measured meat. read more

Well. We were there about 3 days after the opening,but we already had plans to go to Ruth's Chris. We had a margarita and shared an order of chips and salsa. We saw an order of nachos and flautas being shared by a couple next to us, and decided we'd be back and have that. We are in SAT very often in business. So we went back y'day (and brought another colleague with). We went to the "Cantina" where the sign says wait to be seated. No employee around, so we took seats at the bar. The bartender informed us that his bar back wasn't there so he didn't have any Diet Coke for our non drinker. I asked about the nachos bc they were no longer on the menu - he said they were gone. Not available, taken off the menu. We didn't want the other Cantina offerings so we went to the SATX Mex area. There was one other occupied table. We were seated. Ordered drinks (very good margaritas) and had to request chips and salsa. Ordered mediocre quesadillas, okay picadillo tacos, and flautas. We won't be back. The service was okay, but we had to flag down the server 2x. There were 4 employees at the bar who were very involved in conversation with each other, including someone who resembled a manager. The market area is festive and pretty, and the entire place is spotless. But it lacked what we were after, and taking nachos off a bar menu isn't a good idea. Good luck! read more
