The food was DELICIOUS! My new go to place for Mediterranean food. Hummus was the bomb, creamy and just fantastic. And the mushroom shawarma was to die for!!
First and foremost, the food was excellent. The flavors were rich and bright, and all complemented one another very nicely. The restaurant itself had a very new and upcoming feel, and was packed for the evening. My family and I came in on Sunday for my dad’s birthday; he had really been wanting to try this place out and was very excited as first-timer. Unfortunately the service was sub-par. Our waiter, Johnatan, failed to mention that wines were 1/2 off by the bottle (we only knew this because we overheard it from another waiter). He also seemed a bit annoyed at how we ordered. The food was amazing and every other waitstaff who came to our table was very kind, but our waiter left a bad impression and put a damper on what could’ve been a phenomenal experience.
We love this addition to our favorite place in San Antonio; The Pearl.This restaurant has never failed to provide delicious food and drinks every time we go.We usually go with the "curated dinner" which provides a four-course meal. The different dishes change every time we go, and they never fail to hit the mark.Parking: Parking on the streets or next to the Pearl usually costs money.
Such a beautiful atmosphere and the food is so good! Best hummus I’ve had in a very long time. The drinks are fantastic. We tried the harissa shrimp, lamb ribs, chicken kebabs, and mushroom schwarma. All the mains were fabulous, but the sides were equally as good and complimented the flavors perfectly. This was our second time dining at ladino, and it was even better than the first.

This is one of the most unique and tastiest restaurants in San Antonio. If you love Mediterranean style food, this is an excellent choice. To begin with the ambience in the outdoor and indoor dining are very chic. The atmosphere has a nice vibe to it. The service from beginning to end is outstanding. The food is very succulent and full of flavor. My partner and I dined here and we enjoyed the fire roasted hummus, which was well appointed with the right amount of spice and olive oil. We also had the fire feta cheese, which was very tasty but not too hot. Our appetizers were served with fresh pita bread and it was extremely warm. We had a variety of their family style dishes, and they were all excellent. If I had to describe in one word, the food it would be flavorful. Their selection of wine is well thought out. We personally enjoy a nice bold red Cabernet Sauvignon. On Sundays, they do have half off all their bottles which we will definitely returning on a Sunday. Our server was phenomenal. The restaurant was quite lively and busy and he managed to give us the right amount of attention and did not look like us one bit. he was outstanding. Overall, we were hiding recommend this restaurant if you love flavorful, family style, Mediterranean dishes.Vegetarian options: I would say about 30% of their menu is vegetarian, which is more than most at restaurants in the city.

One of the best meals I've ever had ANYWHERE! Small plates are meant to be shared. Highly recommend getting the Chef's Choice for the table -- $60/person. It's a way to try a little bit of everything. But not to worry, you can state your preferences, allergies, etc. Standouts -- Braised Beets and Leeks, Citrus Salad, Acorn Squash. This is a vegetable lover's paradise. But the meat, lamb dishes are outstanding, too.Wait staff was slightly inattentive but otherwise very good service. Extremely gracious host greeted us. Lovely atmosphere, very soothing. Can also eat outside. There is a very inviting seating area with comfy looking colorful cushions outside as well.I really, really look forward to my next visit and it will be sooner!

I loved this place. Will definitely be back. The hummus and the feta, wut!!!! So goodAnd the pillowy puffs of bread, deliciousThe squash, delicious, the beet salad delicious. Not a big meat eater, but the pork and the chicken were tasty..
First time visit for a daddy/daughter dinner. we went with the mezas de Alegria (tables of joy), and it was excellent!!Service, atmosphere, and great food - awesome for a special event!! ?Parking: there are a couple of street parking spots at 2.75 for 2 hours, but the pearl parking lot at 11.75 for 24 hours always has plenty of space.
Delicious Mediterranean food and great cocktails. Will come again
