    Trying it for the first time!
    Frankie M.

    Chicken was good and tasty. I had the leg and thigh combo with charro beans, coke, and 3 tortillas. Chicken was seasoned very well and gave it a different flavor compared to other chicken places. Charro beans were hot and added some hot spice to make it hot Service was good. Lady taking my ordered took the time to explain all my questions due to my first time being there and she was very friendly & professional. Dining area isn't that big due to them being a drive-through.

    Nice little fast food place! It's been in the work for a while so I was excited to try them when they opened. I was not disappointed. Clean and modern fast food dining with a simple chicken menu. I was torn between the chicken and the flautas but decided on the chicken Pollo Pépe after all! The chicken was juicy and tender unlike some other chains. Tortilla chips were crisp and the salsa had just the right amount of heat! I also had some freshly made potato chips, which honestly, were a little limp. In the future, I would hope they also make salt shakers available in the dining room. Wide array of bottled Mexican sodas were available as well as fresh horchata and the like. The staff were all incredibly friendly, and the environment was very welcoming and I can't say enough about it. I'll be back for sure.

    Flautas and some yard bird with a side of Charro Beanzzz

    One of my favorite spots on the Rittiman block! It's an exquisite experience of flavorful food. I normally grab the Flautas preparadas and wash it down with a Coke de Mexico! Sometimes I'll add the Tajin chicken too if I have someone Grubbin with me. Everything I've had on the menu is very scrumptious and a unique flavor here in town! The customer service far exceeds any other fast food places around these parts. Even the manager isn't too busy to say hi and ask how everything was during your visit. Highly recommend stopping in if you haven't yet. Get some Flautas and chicken!! Place is one of kind in SA, Texas and even the good ol USA!!

    I drove from the other side of town to try this place. Was it worth it? Hell yes!! Chicken was on point! We got a few sides to go with our family meal. We got beans, flautas, macaroni salad, and coleslaw. The beans, macaroni salad, and coleslaw was soo good! Everything was absolutely delicious! I forgot to snap the photo before digging in but we practically inhaled everything as soon as it came out! Really delicious and I will make the drive out there again anytime!

    Front counter.

    This place taste great! Oh yea, I'm a die hard Pollo Norteños fan. I would say it's almost a tie, but here you got more chicken flavors, and the sides are more than alright: super awesome fries . Trust me: give this place a try. The Tajín recipe keeps me coming back.

    8pc (whole chicken)

    Great chicken, great green sauce, amazing corn tortillas, decent charro beans. A little on the expensive side but Tuesdays you get free half chicken with family meal purchase.

    2 Piece Breast & Wing Combo!

    Staff is super friendly, offered samples of Horchata and flauntas. Food was delicious and salsa was my favorite. Thank you Polo Pepe!!!

    The green salsa you get with your meal is probably the best I've had in SATX!! Chicken is always good and the tortillas are always hot.

A special compliment to the management team, whose leadership and dedication were evident in every aspect of the restaurant. Their passion for creating a memorable dining experience truly shines through. Bella Green has made a fantastic first impression, and I look forward to returning.

The bag had nothing on the outside to determine which order it is. The driver was kind enough to return and swap out the orders even though they have no responsibility to do so. Upon return, the order was missing an item. Total incompetence at this place. The dressing for the Caesar salad was awful. Tasted like it was made with mostly mayonnaise. The ratio of bread crumbs to lettuce was overwhelming. Luckily, those are easy to pick out. The mac&cheese wasn't very cheesy. And the only option is fake noodles. Ridiculous. Terrible texture obviously with fake noodles. I also added roasted cauliflower. The chunks of cauliflower were too big and required the use of a knife to cut into edible portions. Seemed like lazy knife work in the kitchen. The Wagyu burger was pretty good and cooked to the doneness I requested. The jalapeños I added were diced into really small pieces. No pith. Therefore, no spice. And jalapeno with pith fully removed also has almost no flavor. I'm also not a fan of cheddar cheese on a burger but they don't allow for American or Monterrey Jack. The "fire roasetd tomato basil" soup was decent but still problematic. The cheese included is mozzarela. Never I have had a tomato soup that didn't use parmigian. And the mozzarela was a single gooey lump not sliced at advertised. Also, it was supposed to be "fire roasted" tomato soup. This is a lie. There was zero evidence of roasted tomatoes by sight or taste. I also could not detect by sight or flavor any hint of basil.

There were about six orders on the counter at once, and everyone was to do too much at the same time. One order had a cookie that wasn't supposed to be there, wasn't given choice of croissant or chips, my friend paid for my extra meat, and another friend had to verify her drink purchase before she could get her cup. Too many people right behind us as were trying to pay. They were also doing online orders, so it was confusing to know which bown they were attending too. By the end, we were honestly confused about what we had paid for and what we had received. One of my friends had a very simple meal but ended up paying my extra meat and not the size she started with. She was so rushed, she didn't get a drink. I know the goal is to be fast, and that is something you do very well. But sometimes being too hurried can take away from the experience. We love the food and want to keep coming back, so my suggestion is: please keep the great speed, but slow down just enough to embrace each individual order and make sure every customer gets exactly what they ordered and paid for. I enjoyed my food. Today was just a little too rushed and confusing. My friends first time, was very dissapointing.

Had lunch there today with co-workers and you can't beat their $11.99 lunch specials that include soup, entree, veggie spring roll, and steamed or fried rice.

It isn't a large restaurant and gets quite busy during lunch, so I recommend arriving before noon, especially if you have a larger group.

The table (although it had been wiped down) felt sticky. The Good: the decor was nice and the staff who cleared the tables was hardworking. I'm admittedly picky about Asian cuisine, I like fresh and authentic flavor so I won't be returning to Thai House Restaurant. It's not the worst restaurant but just didn't meet my criteria. On a side note, both people seated at the tables on either side of me were blowing their noses after the meal, (which I found both humorous and gross). They were not Asian, maybe the food was too spicy for them? Would've been polite to clear their noses in the bathroom though. So that's the general vibe I got from this restaurant.

I was able to make my way here on my last day in San Antonio in late March thanks to my flight being delayed and my oh my, I am quite impressed! The older gentleman taking my order at the counter gave me a big smile when I mentioned I heard you have this thing called the serious sandwich here. He told me that they do and then stated "You won't regret ordering it, seriously." Chuckling, I decided on a half order of that along with a side of potato salad and their side of beans. After taking my first bite, I realized the gentleman was right. This is a dope sandwich! Excellent cured meats in the salamar and pair of hams along with the provolone and melted cheddar with the veggies, spices, italian dressing, and mustard. The bread they use holds up well and has a slight crunch to it. If you prefer your bread to have softness to it, you may have to ask if they can substitute a different bread instead of the italian flat bread they use. But I absolutely love this sandwich the way it is! As for the sides, the potato salad has a slight mustard taste and right consistency with a dash of paprika on top; just the way I like it. The beans are charro beans (I think) that are served steaming hot with some pork trimmings mixed in; I may have dipped my sandwich in it a couple times for flavor explosion. What can I say, I'm adventurous! There's some ferrari memorabilia and posters on the right side where some of the high top seating is. As a Ferrari F1 fan, I appreciate them displaying this here along with the track map of the COTA circuit in Austin. The seating area is spread out nicely with plenty of seats/tables and a drink station with some random signs up. All of interest to consumers like us. Definitely recommend coming here for either the serious sandwich or other delicious ones like their meatball sandwich or manhattan. I can't wait to come back and try the other ones but I may just stick with the serious sandwich cause I loved it. SERIOUSLY!
