Walked in. There was MAYBE 5 people in the bar. We wanted to sit on patio and eat but were standing there for 10 minutes unacknowledged. Popped our head in to get so.eones attention and once again ignored. Awesome concept, awkward atmosphere and horrible service.

The mariachi band was great! Great atmosphere! The food was a huge disappointment. We ordered beef fajitas. Next time we’re in San Antonio, we Will listen to the locals on good Mexican. Even the chips and salsa were bad. Not worth it in my opinion.

Thoroughly enjoyed our food and the margaritas. In the heart of the market square. We opted for first available table so we were inside. Outside tables are a wait but you do get the hustle and bustle atmosphere to watch as well. Food was great and lots to choose from. Can’t comment on authenticity as we’re from the UK and to us was so much better than Mexican restaurants served at home!

The location in the heart of the market is fantastic. You have to be willing to accept a lot of crowds and noise, but for us, that just made it festive. We were given an outside table as requested and sat on the main market row. There are also outside tables on the side of the restaurant that are quieter. The food was standard Mexican-American food with tacos, enchiladas, burritos, etc... It was good, but wouldn't call it great. Reminded me of the old Chi-chi's chain restaurants. Adequate for a good time if you are in the market.

Great vibe, friendly and fast service and very tasty Mexican food with cocktails. We had mixed Fajitas, salad and house Margaritas.

WORST Mexican food I have ever experienced in my life!!! Dry fajitas, bland sausage, reheated beans!! The worst!!! Service was very good but so disappointed in the quality of food!! Will never return even if free!!! Huge let down!! Do better!!!

Wife and I considered showing up early before concert started to try one of the eateries within the venue Blue Bonnet Palace and it was disappointing. We ordered the nachos due to the minimal selection on menu and we are disappointed with the “chicken fajita” nachos. The “Mexican” food was no bueno! The other eatery is BBQ , so maybe that’s better? Most people seemed to order BBQ.

A very fun vibe! But that’s as positive as this review gets. it says “oyster bar” on the outside of the building, but the oysters were dry and rubbery which means it was not freshly shucked. The nachos and side of refried beans were completely dry on top as if the plate had sat there for a few hours. I ordered a more expensive margarita with lime juice and agave and instead received a margarita with sour. Although they have a great location and atmosphere, the food and drinks were subpar and overpriced. There are plenty of other Mexican food restaurants to choose from in San Antonio.

We ate here with friends on March 22, 2023. We got a Fiesta San Antonio appetizer platter. We all got margaritas (Finally a 20 oz drink under $10). Erik had the La Margarita Deluxe Mexican Dinner, Cheryl had the Enchiladas Primavera as did one of our friends. Another friend had the Fajita Plate while the last had the Enchiladas Acapulco. The service was fast, friendly and efficient. The appetizer platter was outstanding. All meals were well presented and delicious. Everyone was happy and satisfied. We highly recommend this establishment.
This place was recommended to me years ago and I ate here at 1987. The fajitas were recommended to me and they were awesome. I was hoping to have a little more than fajitas and they had some thing on the menu. I had beef fajitas, along with a Beef Taco and enchilada. The whole plate was awesome!!!

Family friendly with both indoor and outdoor seating. staff is friendly and professional. Menu is typical tex-mex with guacamole salad, flautas, tacos, enchiladas etc... While I enjoy love music, the Marichi was just sooo loud. I put my ear plugs in. Good place for a southwest feel in San Antonio, esp if you're already in Market Square. everything tasted fine but nothing to write home about either.

By far hands down the best MOLE I have ever tasted. I had it on my chicken enchilada. When the dish came out it was so big I never thought I would finish. But it was so good I couldn't stop ! My husband has vegetable enchiladas and he also ate much more than he thought he would. This will be a MUST DO on my next trip to San Antonio !!

After waiting 45 minutes to get seated, we were disappointed. We felt rushed to order, then one meal was forgotten (but still listed on the bill) and we had to ask 3 times for a drink refill. Food was ok, but nothing special. Will not be back. There has to be something better out there somewhere.

Food was absolutely delicious, I got El Favorito and everything was perfect. Great music, service was quick and friendly. Margaritas are delicious as well!
