    Nachos with Carne Asada - the meat was seasoned beautifully
    Kristina R.

    We sat at the bar, service was quick and friendly. Food was delicious, they season their carne asada very well. It was restaurant week so we tried a couple items from that and everything was tasty. It's The Pearl so atmosphere is gentrified but you can come casual.

    Seasonal Sorbet

    I've always been curious of this restaurant each time that I visit the Pullman Market. Finally made reservations due to Culinaria's Restaurant Week. I will say this is a hidden gem! Probably a new favorite of mine! I ordered off the Restaurant Week Menu: Roasted Cauliflower, Pollo Asado, and Seasonal Fruit Sorbet. They served the starter with freshly made flour tortillas, the server informed me that they were made with beef tallow. I walked around the Pullman Market, I found them for sell near the bakery, the package stated they were made with pork and beef tallow. Either way, they were very tasty and light. As a Mexican myself, I truly enjoy my meal. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. The chef is from Sonora Mexico, the dishes are inspired by poverty meals he ate while growing up. I was greeted by 3 different employees who told me about the menu 3 different times. When my server finally greeted me, I told him I already knew the menu due to the first 3 people giving me the rundown of the restaurant menu lol I loved the vibe of the restaurant, it felt like an escape from reality. There are tons of real plants all over the restaurant and a lot of natural lighting! Overall, great experience, I will return to try their Norteño Menu and to bring friends and family!

    PESCADO Swordfish, Salsa Verde

    I'm in San Antonio for a quick work trip and found Mezquite, so I had to give it a try. Located inside Pullman Market, this Michelin Bib Gourmand spot is known for its authentic Sonoran flavors, and it definitely lives up to the hype. Everything is made with fresh Texas ingredients, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The house made Sonoran wheat tortillas with beef tallow are worth stopping in for all by themselves. We started with the Ceviche Negro and Aguachile Verde. The yellowfin tuna was incredibly fresh, and the ceviche brought a nice kick of heat balanced with the charred fruit, cucumber, and peanut. The aguachile was bright, refreshing, and the perfect contrast to the ceviche. The Caramelo was another favorite. Carne asada, Oaxaca cheese, and salsa verde wrapped in one of those amazing tortillas. It's basically an elevated quesadilla, and I'd definitely order it again. For the main course, we shared the wood fired swordfish. It was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of char and served with salsa verde, rice, grilled onions, cabbage salad, and rajas con suero. Simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. I paired it all with the Carabuena Old Fashioned, and it was a great match for the meal. Service was great, the atmosphere was fun and every dish was exceptional, there wasn't a single miss. If you're in San Antonio, Mezquite is definitely worth checking out.

    The park was fantastic!  My favorite!

    Amazing! Highest rating! Wonderful! Wow! We had the Norteño menu (chefs choice) and everything... EVERYTHING... was soooooo good! Complex, layered flavors. Simply excellent! We will be back soon.

    I had quite a fun time coming here. The shrimp ceviche was fantastic. Had spice and loved the tortilla chips. The tortillas came with this amazing, warm, sweet butter. The tres leches was great with a sweet and sour topping. There was also a hummus and roasted mushroom dip my coworkers said was their favorite. I ordered a melon Marga on the menu that was quite delicious. Overall, had a fantastic time. Would definitely come back here again. They may not have ac it gets a bit toasty inside .

    Viva Mexico & some of the other tequila and mezcals on the bar.

    Beautiful restaurant and bar with an incredible atmosphere. This place is truly a marvel, it feels like you're dining at a chic restaurant in Mexico City, tucked away inside Pullman Market. The appetizers, entrées, and desserts are all delicious, but my favorite part is the bar. It looks as though it was carved out of clay and serves some of the most impressive cocktails in the city. Their extensive selection of mezcals and tequilas stays true to the restaurant's authentic concept and commitment to quality. I always choose Viva Mexico Tequila as the base for my cocktails and trust that whatever the bartenders create will be exceptional. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply stopping in for a cocktail, this spot delivers. I highly recommend Mezquite to both locals and visitors to San Antonio.

    Thick tostadas with fresh salsa
    Hannah F.

    We did the Norteno Menu for $55 per person where the chef chooses for us. We got the Shrimp "Cocktail" ceviche (shrimp, fermented tomato, chili oil, avocado, cucumber) to start served with tostadas and fresh salsa verde, which was served generously in a squeeze bottle that stayed at the table. The tostadas were thick and crispy, just like you want your chips to be, especially good for scooping up the ceviche dish. I loved this interpretation of ceviche and the funky cocktail sauce flavors. I just found this review in my drafts from October 2025, and while I don't remember every course in detail to do it justice, I remember everything being so great. I remember that we were also really impressed by the frijoles rancheros with chorizo and chile ash! It was our favorite side. The service was excellent and we loved the dim lights and casual elegance. We will definitely return, hopefully soon!

    So good, we came back two days later! For food, we had the Papas Flautas which were amazing! It came with three large flautas, perfectly crisp. The we tried the nachos with carne asada and nachos with carnitas. We honestly liked these both pretty equally, so you can't go wrong. For drinks, we ordered a standard spicy margarita. This tasted such fresh and not too sweet. The vibes here are great in the bar area. The bar itself has a cool design and next to the market shopping area.

    Roasted tomatoes and sauce came together with Bistec plate

    Come on Mezquite do better. These margaritas are $14 and you don't even fill it to the top, not even if requested!

    *Restaurant Week 2026 Lunch Experience* BLUF: Great food, fair value, rushed service. Restaurant Week Lunch is at Mezcalaria, their cantina, NOT Mezquite. The food was delicious, as I've come to expect from all of the Pullman Market dining options. The $25 per guest pre fixe offerings all begin with guacamole, paired with tostadas. The guac was fresh tasting, and paired well with the warm tostadas. For our entrees, we opted for the Carnitas and Barbacoa Tacos. The carnitas were adorned with onion, radish, cilantro, and queso fresco. They tasted great on their own, but even better with the addition of the salsa rojo and salsa verde provided. The barbacoa were adorned with guacamole, onion, and cilantro. The guacamole felt redundant given it was the same as the lone pre fixe appetizer option. To finish, a delicious piece of tres leches cake, dusted with cinnamon. Its taste was more reminiscent of horchata than other tres leches I've sampled, but delicious all the same. A lot of ambient construction type noises during our visit, seems like something you'd do earlier in the morning, later at night, or opt out of restaurant week for. Service felt lackluster and a bit rushed. We had a reservation, but there was no need. At 12pm on a Tuesday there was ample open seating at the bar and the tables within the cantina area. They ask for a payment card up front, which seemed tacky for table service in the cantina area, a practice I'm familiar with at bars and breweries, but not at places marketing themselves during restaurant week. Also, our dessert was brought to the table before we'd finished our first tacos, which made the experience feel rushed, the unencessity of which was exacerbated by the relative emptiness of the venue. Things worth knowing ahead of time: When I made a lunch reservation on OpenTable for Mezquite to try their 2026 Restaurant Week menu, I assumed I'd be offered the Mezquite menu listed on the San Antonio Restaurant Week website. Instead, you're limited to the Mezcalaria menu until the dinner service starts at 5pm. Not sure if the Mezcalaria menu remains available throughout the evening. In my opinion, Mezquite and Mezcalaria should be listed and treated as two separate venues. (There is an unclaimed listing for Mezcalaria with zero reviews on Yelp, so I'll post this there as well.) There's ample paid parking options at The Pearl, and a smaller lot adjacent to The Pullman Market that offers 2-hours free with a Pullman Market purchase.

    Guacamole

    I am sooo happy to report they have brought back their smaller bites! When they originally changed their menu to a more upscale experience my husband and friends I had gone to Mezquite with were so disappointed. But they brought back their street food type bites and it was delicious! My husband got the OG Burrito and he told me it was really good and flavorful. I had the mushroom caramelos and the mushrooms were amazing. The taste was really savory and they were a great texture. This is the dish I had originally when I first started coming to Mezquite and it remains one of my favorite plates at the Pearl. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because the service was a little lacking. They could have just been understaffed for a holiday Monday shift. Overall I'd come back for lunch for sure, they also went back to a more classic guacamole recipe which is a big improvement from the guac we had previously.

    The team at Pullman Market's Mezquite prepares delicious and expertly presented dishes. This welcoming spot provides an alternative to San Antonio's Tex-Mex food scene with offerings inspired by the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico. The dishes are beef-centric mesquite-grilled, and exceptional. Simple, fresh ingredients... and the team is friendly, thoughtful and clearly cares about hospitality.... be sure to ask for Jose. Highly recommend... cheers!

    Brunch isn't as good as dinner : ( but the quesadillas are massive and great!!! They burnt our tortilla chips unfortunately. Service is super slow so make sure you make a reservation if you come here. Ambiance is absolutely gorgeous with the back drop being the market!

    I love this place. Getting drinks tailored to put tastes was an amazing experience. The bartenders…read morewere pretty cool. Thorough with their questions me and partner got nothing but amazing drinks. The atmosphere was like chilling at someone's house. We'lll definitely come back again.

    My wife and I went to The Modernist after seeing it on social media. There wasn't a drink menu, and…read morewe were told the idea is that you tell the bartender what you like and they make something for you. Her first drink was a lavender-style cocktail and was fine. For her second drink, she told the bartender to surprise her. He gave her a look and asked more than once if she was sure she wanted him to surprise her. Instead of making her an actual cocktail, he poured her what seemed to be a straight, extremely bitter liqueur. The whole interaction felt sarcastic and like he was intentionally messing with her rather than trying to make her something she would enjoy. What bothered me most was the attitude behind it. We weren't being rude, demanding, or causing problems. We were there to have a good time and experience the whole "tell us what you like and we'll make you something" concept. I did call the number listed for the business afterward trying to speak to someone about it. The person who answered said I had the wrong number and didn't know what I was talking about. I got angry during that call and said some things I shouldn't have, and I can admit that. But that doesn't change how disappointing the experience at the bar was. We expected a creative and welcoming experience and instead left feeling like my wife had been mocked. I hope management sees this and addresses it, because the concept of the place is great, but the way we were treated completely ruined it for us
