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.
Many customers have praised the fantastic food and the full San Antonio experience that comes with dining here. While the food comes out quickly even when the restaurant is busy, there are moments when service can slow down, such as waiting for the check. The menu features popular items like tacos, enchiladas, and the fajita plate, with the verdes enchiladas receiving particular praise for their flavor. Outdoor seating adds to the enjoyable experience, making it a great choice for a meal, especially after experiencing poor service elsewhere. Guests also enjoy massive 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.
