    I stopped by here because I moved and got a coupon in the mail for local eateries. My husband cannot eat pork for health reasons and they did a great job at making sure they answered all of his questions about any pork contamination and if the rice and beans or tortillas were prepared with pork and they made sure that everything was pork free. Absolutely amazing service! We ordered the pollo asado domingo, half chicken, with rice, beans, and corn tortillas. Wow!! The chicken is absolutely delicious, even the white meat which usually tends to be dry, was very juicy. The flavor was even throughout, not lacking anything. The grilled up and jalapeño and onion were the absolute chef's kiss. The beans were fabulous, the rice was a pinch undercooked and needed some flavor. I ordered the ensalada del sur with beef fajita. I got one ranch dressing, one jalapeño ranch. I wish I would've tasted them before putting them into my salad, the ranch was good, but the jalapeño ranch was super overpowering. The beef was tender, but I think they had just made the salad at that moment because there was quite a bit of water collected at the bottom so when I mixed everything, it wasn't really coded well and I could see all my seasoning in the water at the bottom of the bowl. We also ordered a flan from the dessert menu because almost everything else was sold out. It had more of a cheesecake texture than a custard texture, and the flavor was almost a bit more cinnamon than caramel, not too sweet, but not really what I look for when I order flan. We ended up going back and swapping it out for chocolate cake, which I did not taste, but my husband had a few bites and said it was good. The chicken was so delicious that I did go back the next day and ordered a whole chicken and a margarita to go through the drive-through, which is super convenient! The interior is very simple, just a nice place to go get a good meal. They have big screen TVs and they even changed the channel and put it on the NBA playoff game for us. They are super friendly, if for nothing else, we will absolutely go for the great service and the delicious chicken.

    This was our first time to try the new restaurant down the street from us, Pollo Filete. We preordered via the website and headed right over for pickup. It was ready quickly. We went through the drive through, were greeted immediately and our food was handed over. As soon as we got the food, the smell hit us. We knew it was going to be good, it smelled wonderful. The gentleman who greeted us offered us complimentary beverages for coming by, which was very nice. We got home and opened the everything up. It was packed with care and there is so much food. My husband and I ordered to share, but our 2 year old grazed and helped. There was so much leftover, which we didn't complain. The beef fajitas were so tender, melt in your mouth. The chicken was super moist and flavorful. Sausage was precut and had good flavor. The spanish rice, while a bit saltier than we are used to, was good. We opted for 1/2 corn and 1/2 flour tortillas, which was the best choice. They were both good. We were so happy with our food and can't wait to go back. Welcome to the neighborhood!

    We were greeted by a friendly server at the counter and she offered to help explain the menu. This is a fast food type set up but with a different menu. I had the power bowl which was served with a side of salsa and really enjoyed it. One of us had the chicken sandwich with curly fries and another had roasted chicken which he said had smoky flavors. The kiddie meal of quesadillas and curly fries was also good. The manager offered samples of margaritas and they also have bar choices of beer, wine and mixed drinks. Kids coloring books and crayons were available for entertainment. This is a great new twist on fast food with choices that are more than sandwiches and soda! Give it a try!

    Pollo Filete is an absolute hidden gem and we love it's so close by. The food is fresh, and flavorful, The chicken is tender and juicy, and the sides are just as delicious. The staff is friendly and welcoming, that makes you feel right at home. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch to go or sitting down, Pollo Filete never disappoints. Highly recommend!

    Whole chicken, rice, and beans.

    I recently tried the whole chicken (rice & beans) and the chicken strips meal. The food was ok. The service was good and if you live in the area the location is convenient. I was expecting pollo asado. Their chicken had smoke flavor but lacked that familiar flavor.

    Pollo Filete. What an amazing new restaurant. I ordered a Crispy chicken sandwich. It came up with plenty fresh hot and french fries. The chicken was perfectly golden and crispy on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The chipotle dressing had just the right balance of spices, giving it a unique flavor that stood out from other places. The bread was one of the park. Soft, buttery and delicious. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a great experience. I'll definitely return to try more items from their menu. If you're a chicken enthusiast, this spot is worth a visit! 10/10

    Crispy Chipotle Chicken Sandwich

They serve a variety of burgers, sandwiches, wings, dogs, desserts, and meals include either a side of tots, fries, cucumbers with chamoy and lucas, or corn in a cup. Other sides are available as well. This trip since we craved for burgers, ordered: Bistro burger- wonderfully seasoned and cooked, served on sourdough, with avocado, grilled onions and mushrooms, mayo. One thing that should be added, the works, I felt it would be even better with the addition of lettuce, pickles, and tomatoes. I ordered the cucumbers sans chamoy and lucas. I appreciate simple veggies. Mexican burger- excellent! Juicy burger with cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, bacon and the works. The tater tots had a nice and crispy outer texture as it should. Overall- very good. Tasty, reasonable, clean, and great service. We'll have to make sure to come back sooner!

Drinks were AMAZING! Bartender Rob made the best Negroni I've ever had. I asked him to use whatever gin he thought best--result was an artistic smooooooth full-bodied drink. Told him when I was done I'd lick the glass if it wasn't considered so uncouth for a 'mature' lady like myself to do so Hubby's Buffalo Trace bourbon old fashioned was also outstanding. Rob was the bartender last night who did such a great job, and his work was even better tonight. We highly recommend The EsquireTavern for excellent cocktails. We love the long wood bar and high copper ceiling upstairs, but love the intimate speakeasy atmosphere downstairs even more. We'll definitely be back every time we're in San Antonio! First review, Friday night: Drinks were great (Manhattan and Bourbon Old Fashioned). REAL drinks, no complaints at all about those. And the bartenders were very friendly and helpful. Those aspects of the Esquire get 5+ stars from us. But the appetizers were not good, close to inedible. It was about 8:30pm or so, so maybe they were getting ready to close out the kitchen but the chalupitas with chicken tasted like rubber, and no flavor at all. The seafood platter had something in it that was breading with shell inside, but no meat of any kind. We couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be. The shrimp was good and the fish was good but those other things... We'll always love the drinks, the long wooden bar, and the ambiance at the Esquire Tavern, but we'll eat somewhere else and come here for before or after dinner drinks. (See update above to this review for when we returned the next night for after dinner drinks.)

It's been a few years since I've been by; so, I was truly looking forward to getting something. I chose The Brat & tots (plain). I was very happy with my choice. The gentleman greeted me immediately. I thought it would take me a minute, but, as I stated, I chose The Brat immediately. I'm a little high strung from my age, so people kinda chuckle. It's cute. I make me smile. They put the perfect amount of mustard on it too! See the photos, but it comes covered with cabbage & crispy fried onions. It is amazing. I was able to get a whole 1/3 of it eaten before my body shut down. Tot wise, they were hot & perfectly fried! I like to dip mine in ketchup, but they offer you various other dips as well. So, I got ranch cuz, um, of course. Also, I really like their soda brand. I can't remember it, but it's a dia de los muertos skull for the logo, but I love their roots beer, which was my beverage of choice today. It's really a nice little place to just come in & sit & enjoy a yummy hotdog alone, or with family/friends.

My partner and I went on a Sunday morning just after 11am and there were already people coming in to eat. It's popular for a reason! I've eaten here a few times and had a very consistently good time, but this review will be about my most recent visit. We visited on a rainy day, but luckily we were able to snag one of the inside tables, we ordered at the counter and our orders arrived very quickly. I got the Ratchet dog which is a beef dog with queso, hot Cheetos and fried jalapeños. Dogfather uses quality dogs and buns for all of their gourmet dogs. I found the Ratchet to be meaty, salty with just right amount of spice from the jalapeños. My partner got the Pop it like it's hot, but removed the jalapeños. This was good but lacking a bit of flavor, however she and I both agreed that was on her for taking the jalapeños off the dog. Both dogs were extremely tasty, and we devoured both. I also got an order of curly fries loaded with their chili and cheese. For me, these did not have to go as HARD as they did. The chili they are using at Dogfather is seriously good, with a slight tang and a good amount of spice. It thrills but does not take away from your meal with too much heat. Very tasty. My only feedback is that Dogfather needs a larger space! There's a good size outside seating area, but for times like today when it's raining people need some coverage. They're doing it right and the crowds want to come! As I have stated this is a local favorite. If you live nearby, make it a regular spot. If you live in San Antonio, do yourself a favor and make a trip over at least sometimes. If you like hot dogs you won't go wrong.
