Sooooo GOOD! The pizza is amazing! We've been in several times now and everything is always delicious. The server Shannon is fabulous too! There's a good amount of seating and the atmosphere is great! Highly recommend!

Supreme pizza-really good
Toni S.

While visiting different towns, we enjoy eating local. Hubby found this gem and it was good. The waiter was really nice and checked on us often. The inside is small and cute. I loved how spaced out the tables were. We felt comfortable and could talk without raising our voices. They serve food, coffee, and liquor. We ordered the supreme pizza and wings-buffalo and garlic Parmesan. Hubby loved the garlic Parmesan wings and I over the pizza. Finally, hubby got a iced coffee to go. A must try if you are in the area.

Artichoke Dip

WOW! I have to admit, I did not expect to find good pizza in Bandera, TX. But I found GREAT pizza, that's for sure! Dining on a Sunday night around 6pm, there were only one or two other parties having dinner aside from us. Our server was friendly and welcoming. We ordered the artichoke dip - now served with crostini instead of tortilla chips - and a 16" margherita pizza. The artichoke dip was phenomenal! Perfectly balanced and not too heavy. The crostini were perfectly toasty but still soft. The pizza was equally delicious! A perfectly thin but soft dough, perfectly cooked. The tomato sauce was so fresh and flavorful, yet so simple. I could've eaten it by the spoonful. A perfect margherita pizza. The artichoke dip with the pizza crust was magical. A dinner to remember here in the Cowboy Capital!

Margherita

This was a super cute place in Bandera, TX that we stumbled on after a 5 mile hike in Lost Maples. The staff was friendly and inviting, which says a lot because sometimes you can have a very opposite experience in a small town. The food was good. We ordered wings, and the breading on it was DELICIOUS! There were four of us, and we each ordered the personal size pizza and each had a different kind of pizza. Hawaiian, BBQ Chicken, Buffalo Chicken and Margherita. All 4 were delicious! In addition to this, they had a coffee shop and bar. If you're ever in Bandera, TX... go check it out!

Supreme pizza
Erica D.

Such great coffee and pizza. My husband got a blended mocha coffee and I got a blended chai. We also got a supreme pizza to share. The staff was welcoming and friendly. We will definitely visit again when we are back in town.

The pizza ingredients are generous and so as the size. The steak and egg is equally good.

Tasty pizza. Sauce isn't overly sweet. Funny pizza bib inside the box. Our family had a good laugh taking pictures with it. Also, spinach and artichoke dip was a great addition.

We walk in and there were at least 3 waiters around looking at us confused if we should order at the counter seeing a line there or just seat ourselves. We finally decided to flag a waitress and ask her. As friendly as people are in this town it was not the case at this restaurant. The lady was short with her answers and almost felt like she is mocking our questions. I saw that the must try is the Texas Spud which seems to be a loaded baked potato. In general from what I know baked potatoes might include bacon and my friend doesn't eat bacon. The way she answered about it was such a turn off! We were about to have a full mean ended up opting to just try the Texas Spud and a side of onion rings since she recommended that The onion rings are old and inedible we left them. The Texas Spud when it came to the table I ended up having a full understanding of it by eating it. So basically it is a baked potato with chili on it (no meat) it feels it came from a can and cheese pickled jalapeño and sour cream decorated with tortilla chips around it. It was ok but I could say I have tried it. The restaurant itself is very old. I believe it is the oldest running restaurant in Bandera I got to see The John Wayne Room which is western-themed dining room. Decorated with memorabilia dedicated to "The Duke". Also they have a salad bar that looks like a wagon. Just take a picture of it from far away the veggies and everything in it looks very sad! Will I return to eat there? Definitely not! But I do not regret trying it out

Since Bandera is a bit of a drive from San Antonio, I decided to make a little day trip out of it. I came across this café and immediately thought it was such a cute spot. Parking was a little tricky, with limited spaces available right in front, but it wasn't a major issue. When I walked in, I was greeted right away by two friendly baristas. I asked for a recommendation and ended up ordering one of their favorites--the Honey Badger. It was delicious and definitely a solid choice. What stood out most to me wasn't even the coffee--it was the atmosphere. The shop felt warm, welcoming, and full of community. There were families and friends catching up, and there was even a dedicated area where kids could play while everyone relaxed. The coffee shop sits above the restaurant below, giving it a cozy, tucked-away feel. After getting my drink, I settled into one of the couches and ended up playing my Nintendo Switch for a few hours. It was one of those rare coffee shops where you feel comfortable lingering without feeling rushed. Overall, if I find myself back in Bandera, I would absolutely stop by again for a coffee and maybe try one of their snacks next time. If you're looking for a cozy place to relax, work, or catch up with friends, Cowgirl Coffee is worth checking out.

The inside is this quaint and cozy area to relax have coffee in a little light breakfast. We both ordered coffees, which were really exceptional. I had a breakfast sandwich with sausage and wish it had a little bit more flavor but overall was good. The eggs and a sausage were just a little bit bland. My wife had a muffin and she really enjoyed, and I enjoyed the blueberry muffin as well.

I traveled from Austin to Bandera for an appt.and chose El Jacalito based on its positive reviews. I ordered chicken enchiladas with rice, beans, and sweet tea. After one bite, I found the enchiladas excessively soggy and the beans unappetizing and lacking flavor. The chips were satisfactory. Because I could not reasonably eat the meal, I went to the register and advised the employee that I would pay for the tea but would not be eating the food. Rather than receiving a professional response, another employee became involved and made a dismissive remark to me, stating, "Well, good luck with that." Shortly afterward, the cook/owner came from the kitchen and confronted me in an elevated and confrontational manner, demanding to know what was wrong with the food. When I attempted to calmly explain my concerns, I was interrupted and told, "I've served ALL THESE CUSTOMERS and YOU are the only one complaining." I found the yelling, dismissive comments, and confrontational behavior completely inappropriate. A customer should be able to express dissatisfaction with a meal without being publicly challenged, belittled, or made to feel intimidated. I am not giving a negative review simply because I disliked a meal. Taste is subjective. My concern is the business's handling of a legitimate customer complaint and the lack of professional customer service demonstrated during the interaction. 0/5 for food. 0/5 for customer service. 5/5 for giving me a story to tell.

The Texas toast was fragrant, and the flavours of the sandwich blended very well together. My cousin got the fried catfish platter, which didn't have much of a flavour, but he said that means it's a river catfish. He is a catfish connoisseur and liked it. The jalapeno hush puppies that came with it were excellent. However, the coleslaw had a very odd flavour, and neither of us liked it. It tasted acrid to me. I didn't really like the fries because of the seasoning, but I still had a few. The server initially gave my cousin water instead of the sweet tea that he ordered. They served us our water and sweet tea in mason jars, which looked very nice, but the water was not pleasing to my taste buds as it tasted like unfiltered tap water.

I had a mushroom swiss burger and onion rings with ranch...so yummy. Cons and the reason for the 3 stars...There weren't any clean tables and the menus were dirty...we saw that there was only one guy seating, getting drinks and serving. I'm guessing he was also the cook, because it took an hour and a half to get our food. Another guy showed up near the end of our meal and was helping take orders. They were obviously short staffed, but I was proud of the guys...they were hustling.
