It's a great place! Service is great and food is delicious. I recommend this place to all.
A great restaurant, decent prices. And the management and staff is great. My daughter had her reception for her wedding there, and it was amazing. Management and staff were on point. This is coming from a person in the service industry.
Forget texmex on the river! This place was so much more authentic and tasty. Get there before 7 weekdays (incl Friday) for $4 17 oz margaritas and reduced price appetizers! Ever had cheese and chorizo set on fire at your table? Excellent! I had a combo plate that was delicious, wife had mini fajita tacos that were great. Service was terrific. Must go here!
Best tortilla soup in town!!!! Try the Tres Leches also to cap off your lunch. Atmosphere is very cozy and the service is prompt. Orders come out correct.
when coming to sanantonio my brother took us there and it was his fav. now ours....never had a bad meal ....good maragritas......yummm my husban loves the chilli renlo. so GREAT!
Really neat dining experience - when it was new. This is still a fine example of the Tex-Mex genre but now so dated it has become Grandpa's cafe. The prices have stayed reasonable so still a good value for a good meal after a day at the botanical gardens or the Witte.

Shades of the Cadillac. I like the Cantina's interior with the brick walls and columns, dimly lit but bright in spots with natural light and a bit of greenery from well placed plantings; not enough to be considered what they euphemistically called a "fern bar" back in the 70's though. Without traveling to the border it's about as close as you are going to come to the old Cadillac Bar in Nuevo Laredo (which I sorely miss - with the exception maybe of its namesake here - the Cadillac Bar near the Justice Center). Haven't found a replacement yet for their "Famous Ramos Sloe Gin Fizz". The bartender put on a real shaker tossing show when making one.
A bit of a hike from where I live, but I have been here numerous times over the years and have not had a bad meal here. Anything goes well with an ice cold Carta Blanca though. Since we visit so infrequently, the standard beef and cheese enchiladas are all that we have had and those are pretty good. That's our "yardstick" plate by which we usually determine if we like the food at Tex-Mex restaurants. If they can't get the enchiladas right, the rest is usually a lost cause.
For a nice atmosphere, good service and some pretty good Tex-Mex, there aren't many places that I'd rather go in the '09 area.
Good, fresh Mexican food. I ate here twice while in San Antonio, got a mixture of the usual enchiladas/tacos/burritos, and really enjoyed it. This and every other tex mex restaraunt I ate at in TX was head and shoulders above the food they pass off to you as Mexican in Pennsylvania.
I liked it.. Nice atmosphere, excellent cilantro-y salsa, great cocktail, friendly servers. I had the tortilla soup, very flavorful with lots of veggies. Also had refried beans with warm flour tortillas, good bacon flavor to the beans.
Would eat here again.
Hand made guacamole magnifico! Have them bring you there hot salsa; very good!
Good but not great. There is something about this place that keeps me coming back. It's not that they have the best Mexican food, and it's not their drinks. I can't really put my finger on it but it just keeps me coming back. Maybe it's the friendly service, or the close proximity to home. Whatever it is, it work and I don't ever leave disappointed. Try it for yourself.
Nice Guac.... Pretty good fajitas and the table side quac was a nice touch... worth the $.
Celebrated mom's 70 bday our family event was excellent and the catering was excellent both Rudy and Angel we're great I was presently surprised as we had never been to this restaurant. Ty miss Victoria and management for welcoming us we felt at home ty.
Great food and I love the menu options. Everything I have tried has been sooo good. Tomatillos Restaurant is part of my husband’s family tradition from decades ago. I am so glad they opened a location near us now we can continue the after church dinning experience. Get the nachos and the mini flautas it’s so yummy.
Liked this place for the margaritas, specifically the Cadillac, which is the guava margarita rimmed with tajin. The food was ok, but a warning do not come here thinking you will get traditional puffy tacos. What you will get is small circular thick corn tortillas, that was disappointing. The rest of my group seem to like the carne asada and the pechuga de pollo.
I visited here for the first time the other week. I had the Tuesday lunch special - Chalupa Plate. The food was great as well as the service. I would visit again sometime.
Brings back memories. I used to go to this place when it was on Broadway. Lots of history there. I ate all the chips and 2 things of their delicious salsa. My Carne Asada was ok. Not grilled. The others had your traditional dishes. The flour tortillas were excellent. The tasted homemade.
My experience has been very great? I have been at two different parties there. They went above and beyond to accommodate us. Customer service was great. Drinks are made well. . Management was friendly and professional as well as attentive.
Did you know they have Drag shows? It's a separate business doing the event here but it was fun. It was all inclusive to include the meal and drink vouchers if you chose that, plus they had plenty of free tasters. The show was like 2 hrs long with 6 or so performers, that is a lot and it was not that expensive for all that.
Great first visit. This location feels expensive compared to original location on Broadway. As it was early lunch we passed on one of the many Margarita options and just had lunch. My Chicken Mole Enchiladas were excellent. Rich, velvety mole with a sprinkle of Queso Fresco crumbles on top of, dare I say overstuffed, enchiladas. My wife’s bowl of Tortilla Soup was large and topped with fresh avocado. Some fresh brewed tee, lots of chips and salsa and we had a great lunch.
Great spot for Happy hour and dinner! We sat outside on upper patio. Amazing service. The Margarita menu is wonderful 🍹
As soon as you are seated, water, delicious salsa and chips are served. I love their Spinach Enchiladas and Fireball Margaritas. Ask for servers Ruth or Giselle. They provide excellent service and are very attentive. In fact, the hostess and the wait staff all seem to be providing excellent customer service. You won't be disappointed!
