This place is awesome, the food is incredible. Got to meet the owner of the business, he’s been here for 2 years and has been working hard. The menu has many of the traditional TexMex favs, stopped in for lunch and had the Carne Guisada. It’s was freaking amazing! Check them out if you are in the area!

I am not joking when I say that this food is an explosion of amazing flavors on your tongue. Truly amazing. I ordered fish street tacos and was so pleased with the presentation and flavor of my plate. I almost had to lick my plate clean. So so so good. Do your mouth a favor and come here.

Omg the owner was bragging about his, Carne Asada. And he didn’t disappoint food was presented well great portions and the taste well I’ll be stopping in here every time I come to San Antonio 5/5 stars To the owner sorry no pics this time my son ate all my left overs smh Great experience talking to you God bless
Holy smokes?. Mind blown. I have never had anything like the empanadas. They were incredible. Flavor, texture, presentation, everything was on point. They're pineapple aqua fresca tied the whole thing together too.
Ambiance was cool, music was grooving, service was top notch. Would have paid double and been happy about it. My only regret is that I can't eat here everyday.
If you’re looking for something other than the “everything tastes the same” river walk Mexican restaurants, this place is for sure worth the short trip. My coworker and I jumped on a couple scooters near the river walk and were here in a little over 5 minutes. Absolutely worth it. The empanadas were large and filled with a slow cooked beef and cheese then topped with a fresh made citrus slaw. All on top of a bed of rice with a light cheese sauce. The flavors blended perfectly, the citrus slaw, the savory meat and the perfectly cooked crisp pastry, so good. Really nothing else like it in San Antonio. The chef and other staff were super friendly. It was a great food experience. My friend’s burger with chorizo and egg looked equally amazing. Unfortunately I didn’t think about taking pictures of the food until it was all gone. If I lived here this would for sure be one of my regular stops.

Chef Ed is a culinary maestro whose innovative dishes blend traditional flavors with modern techniques, creating an unforgettable dining experience as every bite is better than the last. His commitment to the culinary world shines through on every plate he serves, making Mxicanna Cafe a must-visit destination in San Antonio.
On the catering side I host a holiday lunch for Christmas and Easter which Mxicanna Cafe has catered every time for me. Chef Ed prepares meals for 130+ people and everyone loves the food and I have never had a single complaint.
If you have not tried this place, you are missing out.

Wonderful meal, great service, good people. I loved the salmon and rice. Thank you!
I travel to San Antonio every year of a conference and there’s no shortage of Mexican restaurants. But this place was unexpected. All of the food was beautifully presented and my chilaquiles were amazing! I will definitely be back to sample the rest of the menu. Highly recommend!

The flyer says free dog walker with purchase of ticket. We didn't receive one with our ticket purchase and when I asked about it, was told we'd have to purchase a table of 4 tickets and that's how you get the pre roll. Then why does the flyer say free dog walker right under the $25??? The comedians were corny and the ticket was expensive now that I know it didn't come with anything but entry fee.
Everything was delicious.
