    A lot of options on the menu, food pretty good. Took 20 minutes in the drive thru so don't go here if you're in a hurry. Had #5 Mexican plate. The taco was sitting in the enchilada sauce so it fell apart as soon as I picked it up. Should have had foil under it.

    Wayover priced. They tried to charge me $2.99 for one bean and cheese taco. Very disappointed. I will not be back.

    A disclaimer for travelers. This is one of many local places to eat Mexican food. This IS NOT a fancy chain with a fancy building or a generic menu. If you want Americanized Mexican food then you'll need to stick with the big chains that pump out Sysco. This is local style food and atmosphere. A three star rating means this place is worthy of your time and money. It's cheap and delicious. Stopped here for a late breakfast. Place wasn't terribly busy and was promptly allowed to pick a seat anywhere. My waitress was excellent and very attentive. I have a criteria for food establishments in San Antonio due to the saturation of places to get Mexican food. Price and taste which includes the quality of what you get. I'll say it again if you've not read my numerous reviews. If your charging more than $8 for a combo plate of Mexican food, you better make it good and plentiful. It better impress. Too many places here to be priced above that. Agave Grill does it right. The plates are reasonable priced and the food is good. Not great but good. I had a carne guisada breakfast plate with fresh homemade corn tortillas and ranchera sauce for $6. I also like to add a taco from the breakfast menu for see if they are worth the $1.60 The breakfast taco with chorizo and egg was big and filled completely. I was impressed. One of the better breakfast tacos I've tried anywhere. This is just one of many solid Mexican restaurant eateries here in San Antonio. Enjoy

    I tried this little place on Broadway one day and got some menudo. I found the soup very delicious and it was packed with the good tripe, the honeycomb. The tortillas were homemade and very good. I will try the taco soon to check the quality of the beef and the pork.

    Hair on my taco

    I just came from this place and my first taco I had I ate it and then half way thru I ate a hair and then I just threw it away... thinking the other taco was going to have no hair this time the first bite I took this long hair came out of it in my mouth.... don't go here unless you like eating hair...

    The atmosphere is really closed off, rice very dry, beans really bland, the chicken enchiladas were good though. We probably won't go back.

    This was a very unassuming place in a 'not as scenic' part of SA…read more The sign outside was nicer than the other Mexican joint nearby. Don't get confused. That place was empty and this place was mostly full. The inside was simple, working class style but nice tables and clean. The Chile Relleno was legit and the added chicken was seasoned to perfection. And the cocktail they made my wife was tasty and strong. And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

To anyone who wants to try this location, I will recommend to order the Calle de olla for coffee. If you normally drink your coffee black then I do not recommend it because it is a bit on the sweet side. But they do offer regular pot coffee as an option. (The sweetness caught my mom off guard). Taste it before you add anything to it. I also recommend trying the small conchas-they came out warm and ready to eat! This was only my second time going to this restaurant but both times I have had good experiences. Parking is a little odd. There is parking in the front and parking in the back.

    I uploaded the pictures of these restaurant last year but somehow didn't write a review. Wow …read more. So where do I begin. I still remember how tasteful everything was. It was probably our most favorite place that we ate while in San Antonio. The ambiance was great, beautifully decorated restaurant with great service. The cocktails were delicious so we had a few. The food was flavorful and unique. We had a wonderful dinner with my family at Carriqui.

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

That really makes a difference for a family outing! And oh my goodness, the appetizers are simply fantastic. We couldn't get enough! I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood. Note that if you're dining solo, they will push hard to seat you at a dark diner type counter to stare at the kitchen area even if you have a reservation, so don't give in unless you're starving and that's your last resort. The colorful decor hits you and you're transported. I ordered the "Mexican Dinner" with chicken enchilada, pork tamal, beef taco with beans and rice. Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations.
