    Service was absolutely wonderful! All of the staff were extremely friendly and attentive! The happy hour margaritas specials were a favorite! Their specialty tacos and homemade salsas are all fantastic, although I highly recommend the Carnitas! The Los Muertos art & decor adds an additional feel. You can't go wrong!

    The hostess was very rude. She insisted that there were no outdoor tables available. So we walked away, I went on Open Table and reserved an outdoor table. We went back to the hostess and told her we had a reservation. She seemed very annoyed! I reserved a table at the lower terrace ( closer to the riverwalk) and she seated us on the upper terrace. My husband did not want to make a fuss, so we did not say anything. But we could see 3 tables available on the lower terrace, only 2 of which had “reserved” signs on them! Our waitress was great, service was fast, and the tacos and frozen margaritas were good! It was just hard to get a table on a Sunday evening by just walking in!

    mediocre food. Street corn was either from frozen or old kernels as they stuck to my teeth, the guacamole portion was tiny, the shrimp tacos were just ok. Price is ok

    Our tacos were dry but Delilah our server made up for it! Her genuine personality was absolutely beautiful. Oh!! And Eva the person who decorates did a fantastic job for the restaurant. Food isn’t great but it’s about the ambience and atmosphere.

    Everything was Fabulous. The food, the service, the ambiance, the drinks. Dined on the patio and did not feel the TX heat with fans on. Definitely will come back.

    First of all the menu is moreover a late lunch menu.m Mosly tacos, yet the food was very tasty. So unique Mexican culinary, however , doesn't seem to be an evening menus for dinner. I ordered the Octopus, but I never got it. La Margaritas, we're not top-notch either.

    This was our first time going there. It was nice. Loved the water fans that cooled you off. Our server Rico was as awesome. The food was great we loved how you could mix and match. Now for the bad stuff for us. Although the food was great and Rico was awesome. It took a really long time to get. We were there for almost 45 minutes before we got our plates. Not sure what happened. Also wasn’t expecting the noise level. The DJ was literally 3 feet from us and had set up after we got there. The restaurant turned into a party bar from that point on. We left within 15 minutes of the DJ starting. That is not our scene. Maybe for others. We did decide that we will try it again maybe not on a weekend and see what happens.

    The food was pretty good . I didn’t realize it was a taco only place, so just know that going in. Service was off the particular evening; hopefully a one off. There are probably a lot of other good options for excellent Mexican food in San Antonio to consider
