best tapas bar

Carmens was such an awesome experience, it's not a restaurant, it's a tapas bar, with live music and they make there own sangria! I went with a bunch of my friends, and it was packed, so it was hard at first to fit, but we hung out, drank sangria, and ate the most amazing food. It's a great place to go if you're looking to try something different in san antonio.
- Pros: food, music, sangria
service is very bad
by jmw1029
I left embarrassed I'd taken people here. The lady at the door was so rude. The service behind the bar was bad. It's sad b/c the food is great and the place is a great atmosphere. Never again will I bring someone here. I tried to show some out-of-town friends some cool things to do here. Carmens made me look bad. Very disappointed.
- Pros: food is good
- Cons: service and door lady no good
False Advertising

Where do I start? They don't answer their phone. Their voice message says, "no reservations", yet when you walk in with a party of 3, they want to charge you 20% more than is normal. Besides, the $10 cover charge way before 8:30 when it's supposed to be charges.
And we have to get our own plates?
When I go to a restaurant, I want to be served. I don't want to serve myself. I can stay home for that.
With their bad service and bad attitudes, eat someplace else.
- Pros: None that I could see
- Cons: False Advertising
