Mike DFebruary 22, 2014Try the roadrunner soft tacos - when you squeeze them they "meep, meep" - can't believe you fell for that - but it's a goodun!
Excellent authentic Mexican food.Large and enough to satisfy all taste buds.Todos Mexico plate was excellent with the carne asada and chicken enchilada with mole sauce. Top shelf margarita...tasty.
Shannon RochesterMay 25, 2013Got Marisa as a server... She has much to learn. But the food is awesome and so is the rest of the staff we have come into contact with.
Cece GardonSeptember 24, 2021Enchiladas are good. Charro beans are good. The “complimentary “ bowl of beans was filled less than a fourth full and was nothing but bean juice. Absolutely no beans in either bowl.
VoniaJuly 26, 2015The Chimichanga, Sampler Platter, Queso Flambeau, Two Step (Do mach Enchilada & Puffy Taco)
Megan is the best waitress here. She is fast, attentive, and personable. Ask for her!
Joel McCaulleyApril 16, 2013The Garcia Enchaladas were very good, topped off by a great by a great margarita.
Valerie MeyerSeptember 2, 2013Service is terrible, I don't think they have a bartender and the manager on duty cannot make a drink. I wish I could have spoken to the cooks, because all the food was no better than t.v. dinners.
Sarah Ayala MárquezJanuary 5, 2013Food and service here are mediocre. Have tried a few things - nothing horrible but nothing memorable either. Trying the Ensalada Esmerelda w chicken tonight.
I believe the margarita glasses have gotten quite a bit smaller
Atomic PopSeptember 15, 2015Too salty was the general consensus of the 9 people at our table. spotty service for the place being relatively empty.

- Valerie MeyerSeptember 2, 2013Don't bother eating here, the food was terrible. Make the drive to Helotes
