Puffy taco plate
Ivan J.

What a shame. All I can say. We stopped by after a wonderful Sunday service at Triumph church. This is going to be 99% about how bad the service is. I'm looking at it both from a customer point of view, and as someone who has kitchen experience. We walked in, it was not completely full, but all the open tables were dirty. We sat ourselves at a dirty table, and it took them awhile to clean it. Anyone here who runs a restaurant knows that is a big no no. I understand if they are slightly behind, but this isn't a 70 table place. It should be manageable for a single person. The key here is management or lack of it. I'm not trying to be mean. The food here is ok, but the service is really bad. Our waitress, bless her heart, was trying so hard, but she was the ONLY one trying. I assume the cashier or hostess, is also some type of manager. Made ZERO effort to help out. I could be wrong, but it seems that way. Ok I will get into the food, which also had horrible service. I order the original, we had the guisada and the puffy taco plate. In the industry you try as hard as possible, to bring out the tables dishes together. As in everyone gets their food close to the same time, unless the restaurant tells you a dish will be longer then give you the option to wait or not. They brought out my parillada original first, with no beans and accompaniments or tortillas, then we waited almost 20 mins for the rest of the food. This was perplexing. We asked the table next door, who were seated when we walked in, and were still waiting on food, if it was always like this, and they said it was their first and last time as well. I asked for corn tortillas, and they brought me extra flour instead. The fam, who are sweeter than me when it comes to reviews, were asking me what was wrong with the service and why it was so bad. It's not lack of personnel. It's bad management and lack of training. The kitchen was a mess. The runner was lost. The young girl cleaning tables was working like she had molasses in her veins. When I say it's a shame, the food here wasn't too bad. It's not anywhere near the best even in that area, but it's not bad. The corn tortillas when I actually got them were spectacular, the sauces were appropriately hot, and the food was well seasoned and cooked. Kudos for using the Sonic type ice in your drinks and having STEVIA! Work on the service, and you could be good overall!

This is my second time coming to this place after just moving in the area... I would consider this place to become my breakfast go to. The vibe is very much similar to Tia's Taco Hut, from the menu to inside decoration. The service is a bit slow. I feel they get overwhelmed after having a few guests at a time, drive thru as well. But overall I have yet to be disappointed with the food, it's good texmex.

I have reviewed this place before and I'm going to do it again! Lol It's that good! Every taco is on point and they never forget my cheese on the taco (like most places do) The service is always quick and the space is cute and cozy! I believe they are open till 3pm so hit them up for all your yummy taco needs.

Disgusting Way too much oil used for these tacos. My daughter couldn't even hold the tortilla without it slipping out of her hand.

Cute restaurant but Disgusting breakfast tacos. Way too much oil used. My daughter couldn't even hold the tortilla without it slipping out of her hand. Filled up 3 paper towels with oil

This hidden gem has some very tasty food!! Had the enchiladas, I always prefer the red Tortillas and not a lot of restaurants use them! I LOVE the chips and salsa!!! Always a good crowd, yet enough space to eat ! Hard to find good Mexican food in alamo ranch but glad we ran across Uncle Joe's! Staff is always attentive and timely!

Homemade tortillas! It was probably pretty tasty, but due to all the grease from my AL Pastor taco, the taste was lost in grease. My tacos had plenty of filling, and Pastor had a great authentic flavor. I think they should give you an extra tortilla, though, to use without all the grease from the meat because my tortilla got pretty soggy. I definitely will go again because the prices are good. The to go stuff, Lilliana was super friendly and made recommendations as well as said, "I appreciate all tips, so please consider leaving one and I did! Tasty flavors just would like to have a do over on the Pastor, grease seeped through the bag and onto my leather console u fortunately but otherwise try it, it's good!

Tuesday Drive through breakfast run. No breakfast specials :( breakfast tacos are $1.99 and deluxe $2.49. Salsa included. Fast service. No mess, no sweaty tortilla. Stuffed to capacity. Yum

Like pulling up to your primo's…read morecarne asada, the loud one, the one where somehow the music is always right, the grill is always going, and for a few hours nothing else matters. That's exactly the energy at Los Weyes de la Asada. From the second you walk up, it feels alive. Not in a forced way, more like you've been there before, even if it's your first time. The kind of place where your stress, your diet, even your cruda takes a backseat. Now the food. No overthinking needed here. Everything coming out of that truck is a straight up pow pow of flavor. The carne is cooked just right, juicy with that perfect char, and the corn tortillas are legit, soft but with enough structure to hold everything together. I ordered the Mamón and the Chingón, and honestly, both lived up to the names. No misses. And the agua fresca de fresa? That sealed it. They serve it in a little bolsita, which somehow makes it hit even better. Simple, nostalgic, and just cool. It's all tucked inside El Camino, which adds to the whole vibe, string lights, people hanging out, that easygoing outdoor feel where you lose track of time a little.

Finally made my way back and I was not disappointed! Everything was so good!! I'm assuming it was…read morethe owner, he helped me with my order. Muy guapo.

We were right on the river walk, but walked through the entire restaurant on our way to be seated and every bit of it is as lovely as where we ended up sitting. The Riverwalk, however, is a people watching place and so there really isn't any place in this particular restaurant which is not gonna be pleasant. Secondly, the service is exceptional. This is a very busy place. However, the waiter was simply incredible. Very attentive, very informative quite humorous. He was frankly part of the river walk entertainment. Extremely accommodating and instructive as well. You can't hope for much more from a server in Restaurant than this activity. The food is really quite good. How are the drinks. Extremely dependable and the portions are generous and equally wonderful. There are many places to dine in San Antonio. However, this is an experience not to be missed and I mean that quite sincerely. Kudos for a very, very well run well situated and well managed enjoyable place to dine on the river walk in San Antonio.

The soup never arrived, but we didn't say anything because the prime rib with fries and veg looked like plenty of food for us. The prime rib was flavorful, and was a big portion which was expected for the $48 price tag. Veg was mid and I wasn't wowed by the seasoning on the shoestring fries. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the lime chess pie. In general, I adore chess pies but the lime flavor just didn't pair well with the custard filling.

The good, the bad and the ugly. If we run across a serious issue, I will always go directly to management and not post it. I truly believe you always must give management an opportunity to correct a serious issue. If not corrected and or just ignored, then I feel it is correct to inform the public - professionally. No establishment is perfect. I will bring to you smaller hiccups we may have come across. I will rarely comment on the taste of food - being bad, as that is a very personal thing. My wife and I disagree on taste of food and wine, no one is wrong or right. Now if the food is on fire, burned, under/overcooked to our requests, that would be mentioned. My favorite thing about our visit to SANCHOS was their hospitality. Sometimes things do not turn out as you think (the customers end). We had a scheduled event planned at SANCHOS, and some of the RSVPs didn't show up. Nothing changed at all from our server, he was simply amazing. Rearranged the tables to make it more suitable for us. And we received more one-on-one attention and interaction with him - he was amazing. Then the food and drinks. To say a solid happy hour menu for both drinks and food is an understatement. It is worth the Uber if you live downtown SATX! Had some amazing apps and drinks! The price point you can't beat! Live music every Thursday, SANCHOS has a real neighborhood feel to it, but has a downtown view. We will set up another Thirsty Thursdays event in the spring. PS on the happy hour bites - try the croquetas de Camaron - "take a cold shower good"! See you soon, just Cindi and I!

The food is delicious and really tastes homemade. We couldn't stop eating chips haha. I liked my husband's tacos more than my bowl, but it was a ton of food and now I have lunch for tomorrow woo! Both the red and green salsa are very nice and spicy. Everything tastes really fresh and I'm happy to come here when the weather isn't too bad and sit on the upstairs deck. I wish the view was better than the parking lot, but that's not Sancho's fault. My god, the bathrooms though. Please do something about the bathrooms. They could use some serious freshening up.

The atmosphere and lighting create a very intimate vibe, and the darker setting really helps it stand out from other restaurants in Laredo. Just a heads up -- they do have a dress code, which honestly adds to the overall experience. The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken mushroom plate, and all the flavors were bold and well balanced. For drinks, I highly recommend the Jardin Eden. The fusion of lavender, blueberry, fruity liqueurs, and aromatic herbs made it one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. My only complaint was the service. We had a party of 10+ people with only one server assigned to us. He was very kind and professional, but it was difficult to find him throughout the night, especially when we were trying to pay our checks. The restaurant also wasn't very busy at the time, so service felt slower than expected. Overall, this is still a great spot for a special night out, and I would definitely come back.
