Beto's

Guy Feiri blows it again.

Thought we'd try it after seeing it on Triple D. What total waste! The empenadas were dark brown, The al pastor was blackened and almost tasteless. It was like what we were served was re heated left-overs from the night before. And service non-existant. The waitress took our order and disappeared until the food came out . Which was unfortunate because in the 30 minutes it took the kitchen to re-hash the left-overs we decided we would have liked an appetizer. And when the food came she vanished again so she did not have to hear us tell her that the food was barely warm and the beans were cold. It's obvious that the wait staff and the cooks don't if this place is open next week.

Doesn't get any better than this!

Our family has followed this restaurant from its original location (downtown) to its final location on Broadway, just south of 410. Although, the location has changed the delicious food has not. We have a list of favorite items from the menu but our favorite would have to be fish tacos with poblano sauce, (this sauce can be used on anything on the menu it is delicious). Not only can we enjoy a lovely meal, but our children love it too. There is a small play area in the back that is great for the kids to let loose while we finish up our meal with a glass of wine or mojito.

My favorite restaurant!

by Rapp at Citysearch

I frequent Beto's regularly and have never been disappointed. I've had their empanadas, fish tacos and quesadillas. On my last visit I had the chicken nachos and they were just as delicious as everything else. The atmosphere is charming and the service is fun and friendly. I've met the owners and they too were lovely. Nothing but good to say about my favorite restaurant in SA!

a little concerned

The service was slow. The food mediocre, and the place seemed dirty.

All of that kind of ruined my appetite. I did not finish my food, in fact I barely started.

I have to look at the health department reviews.

• Pros: Had read positive comments.
• Cons: I found the place to be dirty, kind of yucky.

Been there, done that... next?!

Tried Beto's today basedon a friend's recommendation. After reading some of the reviews, I was really surprised at how many people think this place is great? Went there with my DH for lunch and, while we don't regret going, we probably won't go again. I had an empanada. I expected it to be a flaky pastry crust but it wasn't so my guess is that it was microwaved. DH had a quesadilla which I tried, and that was OK. The empanadas are the size of a small taco, like one you would get at taco bell for about 79 cents, but these cost about $3.99 ea. For an extra $4 (?!?!) you can make it a meal with some rice (white rice with what seemed like were old <brown> chunks of carrot and old <strange colored> peas and corn, and about 3 bites worth of beans, which were bland. They don't even gie you chips and salsa (what place in this town doesn't?) so we paid $3 for that, and it came with a small bowl of salsa that's not really salsa and some processed cheese dip. I was really surprised to see they had a Zagat rating because it's just OK, nothing even close to great. The atmosphere was real nice and somewhat eclectic, and our service was very good.

• Pros: outdoor patio seating
• Cons: not much value, so-so food
