Best Lunch Restaurants in San Antonio

We opened the meal with a lime-forward, homemade guacamole topped with pico de gallo. It was addicting and worth every penny. It comes with a red chipotle, salsa verde with a bit more heat, and the most ethereal tortilla chips we've ever eaten. The Elotes, a quartered corn cob topped with a masa crunch and queso fresco chamoy, is every bit as good as it sounds. The reposado flight featured Wild Common, Agave de Cortes, and Carabuena and is served with palate-cleansing orange and jicama sprinkled with sal de chapulines. Aguachile Verde, a vibrant, beautifully presented ceviche of red snapper, cucumber, and Serrano chilies served in a mildly spicy tomatillo sauce. I craved more acidity, however I can also acknowledge that, coming off of the guacamole, my tastebuds might have needed a reset. The Chuleta Asada, with Berkshire pork, snuggled into a salsa de queso, combined with the rice made for an exceptional bite. Caramelos de Carnitas was served on a wheat tortilla that was flaky and the carnitas were seasoned like their Abuela taught them how to do it. Flauta de Papas came presented stunningly and were promptly dispatched by my daughter. The Chile Rellenos’ exterior crust was so expertly fried that it retained its crunch until the last bite. When you cut into it, the queso Oaxaca oozed out so beautifully. The Tres Leches, with Chef Tavel's signature salted cream, coconut, and Jamaica sauce was the favorite of the night. Chocoflan isn't the classic cake and flan dessert but an actual flan that sent my eyes rolling to the back of my head in ecstasy. The apple sorbete was topped with thick, homemade chamoy, and sprinkled with Tajín. I highly recommend Mezquite!

We went here for our 13th wedding anniversary. Where to start? Immediately, we were sat given complementary champagne. Our waitress Jewles was wonderful!!! Very, very on point. Checked on us frequently went out of her way on one of our requests. There was a small hickup with my husband's order, but right away, a manager came to explain the situation and wasn't a big deal to us, just more tad of a wait. Then 2 free desserts to end the night!!! Honestly, the whole night was good and food amazing! Jewels was 10+ stars for her waiting services if I could give that! Will definitely be back!

Food was very good. Our server Jose was awesome and made our experience memorable.

I like the flavorful meal that we were served and the service was second to none!!

Got the eggs royale on the recommendation of the waitress and it was amazing. They allowed me to get one pancake as well because I couldn’t decide between the two and it was also great along with a perfectly made latte. Highly recommend
