Absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever received ultimately went somewhere else for dinner!
Waitress was terrible so unprofessional kept using the F word he was flirting with the hostess all the while in front of my young daughter, I have picture of him
I had dinner at this place, and I feel compelled to write a review to help others avoid falling into the same disappointing experience.
The food was a letdown, lacking in flavor and quality. The chips were stale, the salsa had no zest, and the main dishes—dry tacos and poorly cooked items—were bland and unappealing. Even the guacamole was watery and tasteless, adding to the overall disappointment of the meal.

The Original Mexican Restaurant offers decent food with great service and a beautiful location by the river walk. Customers enjoy the lively atmosphere, especially with the nearby ducks and music. The attentive staff keeps water cups full, with some noting that the cups are massive, so refills are rarely needed. The tasty chips and salsa are a highlight, with the salsa being the spiciest item for some diners. The hostess was great and gave information on happy hour.
Many customers have praised the fantastic food and the full San Antonio experience that comes with dining here. The service was prompt and friendly. While the food comes out quickly even when the restaurant is busy, there are moments when service can slow down. The menu features popular items like tacos, enchiladas, and the fajita plate, with the verdes enchiladas receiving particular praise. The San Antonio Fiesta platter is available. Guests also enjoy massive margaritas, including 14 Oz margaritas, that enhance their visit. Overall, visitors appreciate the efficient service, with staff regularly checking on them and providing great recommendations, making it a family-friendly spot. It is a very nice way to pass some time sitting by the river.
