That place was empty and this place was mostly full. The inside was simple, working class style but nice tables and clean. The Chile Relleno was legit and the added chicken was seasoned to perfection. And the cocktail they made my wife was tasty and strong. And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

We had…read morewanted to try Iron Cactus earlier in our trip but were too tired that evening to make the walk from our hotel. Now that we happened to be nearby, this was our opportunity. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, so there was no debate about where we wanted to sit. We headed straight for the wonderfully air-conditioned dining room, which provided a welcome break after spending time in the sun during our river cruise. Gabby was our server, and she was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive, took our order right away, and delivered our drinks promptly. What impressed us most was how she kept our drinks refilled without us ever having to ask. Her service was outstanding and made an already enjoyable lunch even better. The food was just as impressive. Our Mexican entrées were delicious and exactly what we needed after a hot afternoon on the River Walk. Between the excellent food, Gabby's attentive service, and the comfortable, modern dining room, Iron Cactus turned out to be the perfect place to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we're in San Antonio. Next time, though, we'd like to come back for dinner and experience Iron Cactus in the evening.
