Phil MaxsonMay 4, 2014Located up above "The County Line" overlooking the River Walk. Had the Moscow Mule very refreshing on a hot day! Chicken Tinga Taco's are highly recommended. Wait Staff excellent, friendly, and fast.
Alicia RamseyJune 24, 2013I've been here twice and the servers have been very friendly. I had some kind of brisket tacos and it was soooo good. Recommended! Not as expensive as other places on Riverwalk
Vicki ChangJune 20, 2013Delicious deviled eggs and the Deluxe brisket and black bean chili has lots of flavor. Foursquare special got us free queso too! Great food and drinks all around. One of the better beer selections
Monica HarlanAugust 2, 2017One of the best Tex Mex restaurants in San Antonio. Loved the Queso, had the smoked brisket, black bean, with lime cilantro rice. Delish!!! Highly recommend!!!
KayleeMay 29, 2016They are in no way stingy the amount of Queso & Margarita for the price is amazing! Best deal on the riverwalk! Open late for Drunchies too 😉
John ChinelloSeptember 5, 2012Great food. I expected touristy bad food but experienced some unique Mexican tacos with more robust flavored than I have experienced even where I live in San Diego.
Dana SueAugust 11, 2012While everyone else is waiting in line at the restaurants with lower ratings on urban spoon, me and hubby came here and had awesome service and very yummy tacos!!
Matt PhillipsAugust 11, 2012Amazing drinks, food was fantastic and the staff was friendly!! Great place with trendy decor
Amber AlexanderJuly 14, 2013Definitely some of the best Mexican food on the riverwalk! This is a must have!
Jose V.July 31, 2012The queso is good, but their namesake burrito is awesome. If I lived in San Antonio I'd eat here a lot.
John WaycuilisNovember 4, 2017The live music and atmosphere is better than the food & prices. Margs ok
Nat CamarataJune 23, 2012Don't be afraid of the guacamole served in an ice cream dish. Mango Pork Carnitas, do it.
Christina CellamareApril 15, 2012The food and atmosphere here is amazing! It's officially my favorite Riverwalk spot!
Wayne FinniganOctober 17, 2012The food was pretty decent and had great flavor. The waiter was a tad slow on the service aspect and the bar staff needs to learn how to make a Mojito. Hope next time will be better.
Karen SegalFebruary 23, 2018Not a single thing I ordered tasted good. I had guacamole, a frozen margarita, and Baja tacos. All of them were a HUGE disappointment.
James BartaNovember 27, 2018Chicken tinga tacos & the del ray tacos . Best tacos that I have had in a long time and I live in San Diego where there a thousands of Mexican restaurants. Great prices too.
jordan wagnerFebruary 18, 2019Some good food but service is terrible. Chips were stale. Try the place downstairs. They looked good.
William HAugust 10, 2014Surprisingly solid food, terrible service, somewhat pricy for Mexican "street food." That being said, the food would make me come back.
Eric EggenaMay 17, 2012Food is not bad. Very limited menu. Expensive drinks. Watch out for the waiters they will try to add items to your bill and also try to short change you on the bill

"They have a separate gluten free menu, as well as a special Paleo menu! What a blessing! Food is great. I ordered the Ceviche Del Mar. They brought me plantain chips since I asked for the Paleo menu."

"Finally a Mexican restaurant I really enjoy here in San Antonio. The food was flavorful and delicious. About $7 a meal, but well worth it. Will come back again and again. Waitress was friendly."
