    The restaurant has potential! Pros: Foods very good. Cons: Service is just ok but because they were short handed. Not sure if management has it that way or because no one wants to work. Cleanliness should be a lot better, being the price of the food and where it's located. Drink are very good but a little to pricey. Can be an overcharge or economy 🤔 we won't be going back unless these things are changed.

    The decor everything was on point inside the building was beautiful, we got our table right next to the band where the host person sat us outside, which was next to his speaker was not good. He had a lot of feedback and was pretty much volume was on max, we couldn’t enjoy the outside experience. The chicken mini taco were good but my asada tacos when I received them were cold not even warm. The drinks from the bar were great.. We live here in San Antonio and would try it again to give it another shot to see how it goes. I alway recommend people to this restaurant since it’s new.

    The food is expensive, in small portions and overall not well made. The restaurant decor is neat but that’s about it. Spend your money somewhere else.

    This is a hidden gem in the Riverwalk area. Unique decor and authentic Mexican tacos. Friendly service and excellent value for the money.

    Felt crammed into an attic. It wasn’t busy and yet service was slow and forgetful. Food was average and did not equate to the price for a “Valentines Special”.

    Although the weather was cold and we reserved the balcony seating, we were provided blankets. The waitress, Delilah, was very cordial and friendly. The food, wine, drinks, and Valentine’s Day ambience was wonderful. The Rose and heart candle made it that much more romantic! Thank you!

    The ambience was great. They had a dj playing great Latin music. We ordered the empanadas, esquite and carne asada tacos and all were delicious. Service was also friendly. The only negative were the drinks. They were flavorless. Overall I would return.

    The food was great and we had a wonderful server! Unfortunately the competing bands (at casa Catrina and next door) made it difficult to have conversations.

    Food good, service awful, location good. Math lines up to not worth it, if the food is good but there are no waiters and they can't get you drinks or food properly, what's the point.
