In Short – On nice days, the patio--complete with flourishing vegetation and whispering palms--is ideal. Inside, take a seat on leather couches at the bar for a margarita or at tables located on multiple levels. Menu specialties include pozole soup, tacos al pastor, tres leches cake and other traditional Mexican dishes. Breakfast is popular on Saturday mornings--try the chilaquiles or carne machaca for a treat.

An Improvement
by Reginald Van Strosburg
Imagine trying to operate a good restaurant ........while serving some of the pompous "goofs" that live in Alamo Heights. Well they are pulling it off.
I just can't imagine selecting another Mexican Restaurant......unless it were Los Barrios Hacienda.
Set well off Broadway....nice outdoor spaces....attentive staff...........your hard earned money is well spent here.
Try to ignore the Alamo Heights Goofballs.....they live nearby.....and probably walked. The state legislature is considering establishing a bounty on them......maybe next year.
- Pros: Great Ambience
- Cons: Stiff Chairs........replaced.....Better Now

Not that Great!!
by wineperson
Average at best. Alamo Heights need to demand more from their Restaurants. Slow service and over priced food.
- Cons: Parking, Service Food

Great ambience & service, pretty good food!
by maryjatkinson
My husband and I ate here for lunch after the San Antonio marathon, and especially loved the outdoor patio. Lots of nice landscaping and fountains, and the weather was great! On a side note, people were letting their kids play in the fountain and run around, which was relatively annoying, so I wish the restaurant manager had said something to them, but I don't know how well that would have gone over. (One of the kids accidentally threw a coin toward the fountain that ended up hitting a baby in the face!!!) Anyway, our server was great -- very personable and attentive, even brought over an extra bowl of queso on the house (which was delicious, by the way!). The enchiladas and tamales were also quite good, although not the best Mexican I've ever had. Overall, we loved the ambience and service, and the food was pretty good, too!
- Pros: Ambience (great patio!), service, & food.
- Cons: Children playing recklessly around dining tables.
