    I did not take pics of the food as I wanted to enjoy the experience to the fullest. Went during "La Conquista: 1519" last year and they hooked it up. Managed to snag one of the last tables for the night and my gf and I were impressed. This single handily is the best Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. They not only gift you a meal from heaven for each course, they explain it with such passion and understanding of the Mexican culture and the complexities of its troubled past which have helped define what Mexican food is today. I had a red sauce which transported me to my grandma's house in Mexico. Nearly shed a tear. We did one cocktail pairing and went awol for the other and throughly enjoyed the experience. The price tag is steep but you get what you pay for. A unique experience at a San Antonio Michelin Star rated restaurant with a staff who is extremely knowledgeable at what they do. The kitchen is open. You can see each and every person doing their thing. Pretty sure the majority of the people working brought a course each. The hookup was the coffee at the end. We were the last table left at end of night and they gave us a coffee to go which we enjoyed the next morning. The other experience you can have and you don't need a reservation for is the bar. If you are coming in from out of town, this is one of the top bar spots to try. If you like cocktails with a twist, this spot will do the trick. Love the decor inside, a great spot to sit at is the bar and chat with the bar tender so you can see how much work they put into crafting their drinks. If you are lucky, you'll see their bar director as well. A great set of people work here and I hope the keep up the great work and receive all the recognition they deserve!

    First Michelin star in San Antonio and is well deserved! The service is great, very quick and friendly, they even introduce the plate with a little explanation of it when they serve it, they were so attentive that we didn't even had the chance to ask for water. The course menu that they have , they change it periodically, everything based in different regions of Mexico, all the food was unique and very delicious, my favorite dish was the tamal with salsa of chile guajillo, that make me remember my childhood. The cafe de olla was also really good. Definitely a recommendation if you have a chance to try it.

    Ok the ambiance. Clean sleek spacious. The kitchen is RIGHT next to you so you can watch them plate everything it's awesome. The plating and decor changes every few months when their menu changes. So u can keep going by back and the food won't be the same! I love that. Service was amazing. The stories everyone gets to tell. The journey through food and land and the humor from some is just so adorable. Id LOVE to bring my parents. Maybe one day who knows. Texas is a bit far from ca tho. This place earned their Michelin star just about a year ago and I do think it was well deserved. Hands up for the bar tender. That drink pairing... was incredible. Hands down the best I have had anywhere and extremely creative. I usually go somewhere and get served at least one or two things I don't like... not in this case! Amazing. Good job. 10/10 experience my friend and I loved it

    Mixtli is BOMB. I came for my 30th birthday while in San Antonio for a conf, and I was not disappointed! It is their only Michelin starred restaurant in the city so I had to check it out. It is a bit pricey at $205 including taxes and fees, but I was quite full after the dinner and loved the variety and history lesson of Mexico with each dish. They also let you have a copy of the menu after which is fun, and they do that Michelin thing where when you get up to go to the bathroom they re-fold your napkin (fancy). My fave of the dishes was the snapper crudo with banana miso, it was so unique and it takes quite a lot to surprise me, but this dish was PACKED with flavor. I also just loved the dessert, it was so pretty and actually a decent size despite the fact that most of the courses are small by design (but again, you get enough that you're full). I also ordered a non alcohol drink called the Torito, it was quite sweet and I loved it! That was $14ish including tax. Parking is a little tricky, but they do mention online there are neighborhoods nearby and you can park there for free. I parked about 1.5 blocks down in one of those areas and it was fine. Overall: I loved Mixtli, I think they're doing a great job over there. I do think they've earned that Michelin star :)

    This is a place you must try and not take others word for it! It was spectacular. Every course was perfect in taste but most impressive were the staff that were familiar with the history of ingredients used and how it inspired a particular dish. Also - they have a wine cellar which can also be used for private events and they have A ROLLING LADDER. Beautiful location too!

    The Michelin star is well deserved. This is an upscale dining experience with an acute focus on ingredients, taste, and service. They change their menu every few months and focus on a new story from Mexico. This month was Veracruz. At the beginning of the meal, the chef tells a story about the idea for the menu. You get a history lesson on the ingredients and how the different cultures that settled the area influenced the gastronomy of the region. I was very impressed and it really set the mood for an interesting evening. The food is an eclectic mix of ingredients and flavors that blend nicely. It's one small surprise after another and the variety and attention to detail are impressive. Each dish is unique and complimentary to the theme for the night. The food was simply delicious. Service was amazing. Friendly and professional. This is a true gem in San Antonio.

    Amazing!!! Top notch!!! So no doubts as to why this place has a Michelin award. The service, food, drink, ambiance is wonderful. From when we first entered until we left we had a great time. This is well worth the money and patience to experience. We came during the Mexico 1848 menu and enjoyed new food and learned history. I like how the chefs come to the table and explain the dish and the ties to Mexico's rich history. We had many small plates for the different courses and they even accepted my vegetarian needs. I was not left out of the experience at all. We had about 9 plates brought to us from starter to dessert. Each brought a totally different culinary experience. They did things with food I've never experienced and enjoyed it all. The menu changed I believe 3 times a year so if you like the offering sign up as soon as you can. I do recommend the drink pairing as that really elevated the experience as well. They do have a cool bar downstairs with plenty of cocktails to enjoy before and/or after dinner.

    I need more stars for this wonderful dinning experience. It's so much more than just a meal. The menu changes about every 12 weeks. Each is themed on a region or time period in Mexico. The food is creative and wonderfully plated. I love how one of the chefs delivers the course and provide the inspirational backstory for each dish. I highly recommend for a special occasion or just wanting to be treated special. The service is second to none.

    Service was absolutely top notch. Felt like the only ones in the room. Everyone was extremely nice and minimally pretentious. The food was just insane. I have been lucky enough to go to 3 Michelin starred restaurants previously. Far better than Portugal and Spain. Better than Switzerland. Just amazing

    Seeing as I'm leaving San Antonio soon I wanted to try Mixtli one more time before I left. I think Mixtli does high end dining better than most other high end restaurants in San Antonio (that I've tried). The presentation is top notch, the stories are entertaining, the service was better than most other restaurants and the drinks were delicious. There were 8 courses, including 3 apps, 4 mains and a dessert. And we did a cocktail pairing which included 5 drinks. There were some misses for me food wise, but I'll chalk it up to preference. There were some dishes that used corn tortillas and the corn just overpowered the other flavors. I would say out of the 8 dishes I really enjoyed 4-5 which is slightly disappointing given the price tag but again maybe it's a preference thing. Presentation wise, each dish was a work of art. The stories behind them were also interesting, although sometimes the chefs were a little hard to hear due to ambient noise. The drinks were fantastic, I enjoyed every one of them. Although sometimes the timing was off and I had to make sure I saved some of my drink for when the right dish pairing came out. Overall I think Mixtli did a really good job. And does it better most high end restaurants in San Antonio. This experience was great!

    We came here after they received their star for a celebration. The interior looked super nice and definitely a cool place to dine. See pictures of interior to include bar and kitchen. You have to make a reservation ahead of time. We got their 7 course with the wine pairing. They start you off at the bar. It took a while for the first course to come out. They change their menu out every few months and they have a theme and a story to go along with their menu. Ours was conquistador themed. The food is individually cooked and the cook who makes it comes out and tells you the story. I really wanted to like this place, however, food portions were small and nothing about the food blew me away. Didn't think it was worth the price. The wine pairing complemented the food well but again, expensive. In regards to price to food assessment, you're better off spending your money elsewhere. They have validated parking but only up to a certain period of time. We ended up having to pay not out of any fault of our own but because of how long the food and drinks took to come out.

    Absolute Perfection. First trip to Mixtli, but not our first Michelin dining experience. We went at the end of March and had the Mexico 1848 nine course menu. Starting with the overall service, we came to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary and were greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne and a small bouquet of flowers on our table. We were sat in the smaller wine cellar room where we had a slightly more private experience, but could still see the chefs creating our plates. As the chefs began dropping off our plates, we were delighted to have a story come with each dish and how the ingredients related to the 1848 timeframe. I wouldn't call myself a picky eater, but when the dish presents you with "nixtamalized squash, seed brittle, piloncillo" I tend to say myself "I am not going to like this". But not just this dish, but everything was just seasoned, cooked, and presented with such perfection that everything went well beyond my expectations. While the plates may be small they are plentiful and I found myself more than satisfied when the service was complete. Mixtli is 100% KG Recommended!

    Had my eye on Mixtli before they got their Michelin star. Finally came to celebrate a promotion and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere was inviting and intimate, perfect for a date night or an intimate gathering. Really enjoyed seeing the chefs plating each dish. The service was impeccable, servers were attentive and are very knowledgeable . Each course was delivered by the chefs with a brief history lesson where each dish was inspired telling a story thru the cuisine. Each dish was uniquely curated to fit the story to be told and perfectly balanced. The suadero taco and the wild bore raviolo were my fav def could have eaten 10 more of them. Overall great spot to eat if you're willing to splurge a little.

    Is the tip included with the $150?

    Gratuity is added at checkout with standard 20% when you book the $150

    Do the $150 tickets/reservations for dinner include the price of drinks?

    Not in my experience. They offer drinks at the bar and once you're seated for an additional price.

    I'd like Mixtli for an anniversary dinner. Do they serve alcohol? Can I bring my own? Why does mixtilrestaurant.com "tickets" take me to a page for Kumo? Also,the menu expired 9/30, what's current menu?

    Is the service charge when I make a reservation the tip? Trying to figure out if I need to add tip on top of what is being charged. Thanks

    YES! All in!

    About how long is the dinner?

    The dinner is about two hours, depending on the courses for the one you attend.

    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

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.
