Review El Bucanero - San Antonio

LeWayne Ballard
One of my favorites for Mexican seafood. Been here so many times and have never ordered anything I didn't think was delicious. Food is amazing, from the seafood plates, molcajete , soups, ceviche, etc... Service is always fast and friendly. Since most items are fresh seafood, food always arrives within minutes. Servings are very large, so most items can be ordered for the table or family style. Not just the food, the Michelada's and Bloody Mary's are very good. It does get busy, especially on the weekends, but since the food arrives so fast, tables clear out pretty quickly.

Awesome seafood!!! It did not disappoint. Everything we had was hands down, amazing!! And the drinks were great too!! The prices are good for the amount of food that you get. Overall, we had a great experience and will go again. Highly recommend!

We were looking forward to a respite from this hot hot weather along with good food. Unfortunately, the pleasure of our dining was diminished be the lack of a good working a/c. This can be improved greatly. The Mexican style seafood was good and appetizing. Portions were fine except what they call a fried fish which were very small. The whole “mojarra” or tilapia fish was very good in size, but it was somewhat oily. We will give it another try.

Excellent Mexican seafood. We got the mocajete AND enchiladas suisas because our waitress said the mocajete wasn't enough for two people. VERY wrong. The mocajete is very much enough for two and the wife and i had LOTS of left overs. The mocajete was excellent, the bacon wrapped shrimp especially.. The enchiladas suisas,... Not so much, they were even cold. Fortunately the mocajete made up for it. If we'd just got that, this place would be a definite 5 stars but the enchiladas were not good and our waitress gave us bad info. Also, i wish they had chips and salsa... Nope. They bring you flat tortillas in a ziplock bag and some odd house style sauces.. The Green wasn't too bad. Still if you're looking for Mexican style seafood, this place is the ticket.

Every time we come to SA we have to eat at the BEST seafood place. I enjoyed the tostada mixta, which is big enough for 2 to share, especially with the extra fried tostadas placed on table for all guest to enjoy. The small seafood soup hit the perfect spot on this breezy day. Micheladas are the Perfect drink to make your meal a perfect one.

The food was delicious. The drinks were great! I'm giving 4 stars because it's SO MANY options on the menu that it can be overwhelming. The atmosphere was dark inside as well. I enjoyed the mariachi band even though the space was small

Food is ALWAYS delish and fresh. It can be busy and have a long line at times, but it's completely worth the wait. Hands down the best place around. We drive a little over 2hrs just to eat here! Some may say it's pricey, but really, it isn't. When you order ANY plate, they serve big portions. Plus, it's seafood soooooo... It's priced what it should be. You don't get chips and salsa. What you do have is tostads shells. Everyone has them at the table to go with your seafood. This is a must try place!

Considering it was our first time there the food was ok but a one time visit was good. The prices were very pricey. My husband ordered a large shrimp cocktail with everything and it was $23 just for that. Don’t get me wrong it was good, but for is a one time place to try.

Absolutely amazing food and drinks! Loved this place so much. Service was great and portions are huge. The platter which I got was a great mix of options especially if you are not 100% sure of what to get. Would definitely come here again when if in San Antonio. A must try!

Local chain and some of the best seafood I have ever had. Service was hospitable and attentive. Fun atmosphere and family friendly.

My wife and I were visiting San Antonio and wanted a good restaurant as we were celebrating our anniversary. My brother in law suggested El Bucanero. Food and service could not have been any better. Definitely looking forward to our next trip to San Antonio so we can visit this amazing restaurant again.

Everyone ordered something different and enjoyed their dish. The service was terrific and the wait was short. Pictured is the stuffed avocado.

The food was so good, we, but I didn't like the enchiladas Rojas. The red sauce tasted weird. But everything else was delicious. We would definitely came here again.

Very busy hot Sunday night, 10min wait to get seated for a party of 5. Oysters on the half shell, cerviche, and toastada all very refreshing. Bacon wrap shrimps were delicious as well. We will definitely be back again next time to try other dishes.

Delicious meal we come from out of town every once in a while to dine here. The food is always fresh and delicious. The Vaso Loco is my favorite. The oyster are fresh and delicious. I ask for a side of rice because I really like it. All of their salsas are so delicious. The orange one has a nice flavor and is the best one.
Javier Guerrero
So many options. I would suggest looking at the menu before going if you’re an indecisive person like me. Otherwise really tasty dishes and nice people.

Parking situation is okay parking can be tight. There is outdoor and indoor seating. We were sat by the outdoor patio door which made the experience a little chilly. Bathrooms are clean but small. The lines for the bathroom form quickly and this restaurant stays busy. Customer service is great and respectful. Food came out in a timely manner. I got the Molcajete Bucanero and it was HUGE and delicious. I got aguachiles for a shnack and the appetizer presentation is 100 but the taste is off unfortunately. Too spicy to even enjoy and a lot of cucumber which again was inedible due to level of spiciness. Food is pricey but enjoyable as well. All the salsas at the table were delicious as well !!
