Tlalpeno Soup
Xi T.

I ordered their Mole Poblano and Tlalpeno soup and my husband ordered their Pipian. First of all, I wish their portion was more. Flavor wise, I really enjoyed their mole. It's nutty and sweet. The crunchy and citrusy nopales and the fruity chili pepper on the top make the dish more interesting texture wise. The Tlalpeno soup is good. I wish the soup was less salty so I could enjoy the soup by itself. Instead I only had the chicken, chickpeas and dried peppers in the soup. Yes, I had some of the peppers. I love the sun dried sweetness. I wish I could soon find some sun dried peppers that taste as good so I can add them to my own recipes. Among the three dishes, I would recommend their Mole Poblano.

This is a quaint little place on the north eastern edge of the King William neighborhood, located across the street from an elementary school. You enter the property through a gated entrance to an outdoor seating area with several circular shaded tables, and then enter through the second door on the left (past the employees only entrance). This entrance dumps you into the dining area. The kitchen to immediately to the left. The dining area is colorful and small, with tables lining the perimeter. A wall mounted A/C system sits above the benched/booth seats. The bathrooms through the left hand side are not air conditioned, and there is a stand with some colorful dresses on hanging on the stand. The men's restroom had no paper towels available. You are able to choose where you'd like to sit. The establishment closes at 3pm, so if you come in around 30 minutes prior to closing, they'll let you know. Once seated, they will provide you with a menu and a colorful fabric napkin enclosing a fork. The menu is double-sided and laminated, printed on a dark background. The tables also appear to be painted (or at least coated) a certain color. You can peruse the menu and decide what to order. When you decide what to order, the staff will mentally remember your order, or perhaps they will enter it directly into their order system, which is a Clover system. When you receive the check, it will have a QR code on it, where you can opt to pay online via Clover. Food: I enjoyed the flavor of the mole in the mole poblano. It had a present anise component to it. Small cubes of chicken existed, with some nopales on top. It came is a (small) side of beans and rice. Given the size of the plate, the quantity of food on the plate was not much, whether in terms of chicken, nopales, beans, rice, or mole. Similarly, the pipian mole was also pleasant flavorwise. The chilies that came with the dishes were nice and fruity with decent immediate heat, and no slow burn. The chicken cubes, by themselves, were uninteresting, even with the mole. The tlalpeño was pleasant, but the broth itself was quite salty. The rehydrated dried peppers in the soup were nice and fruity with a good amount of heat. Since the broth was salty, I just ate the non-liquid components of the soup. Music plays in the background until closing time, after which the music shuts off. When you exit, the door handle may not respond unless you apply enough torque to it. Additionally, when you exit the front gate, and if it is closed, you will have to move the gate laterally along the track to open it, and then close it again. If you leave at 3pm on a weekday when the elementary school has been in session, and you would like to cross the street, there will be a crosswalk close by and someone with a portable stop sign, a whistle, and colorful reflective traffic visibility garb who will pause traffic in both directions and encourage you to cross the street.

First time here and I was not expecting to loveeee it! It's a cute little patio with plenty of seating. I ordered the enchiladas verdes, and it was absolutely delicious. Tastes so authentic and just really wowed me and my husband. It came with rice, black beans and nopales. I'm so glad we just happened to stop by today. I didn't take a picture of my food because I literally inhaled it.

Taco stand
Nicole Z.

I'll start off by saying I hadn't been in a few years since I moved out of the neighborhood. This place has lost its appeal in my eyes. I went on a Saturday at noon and they are strictly only a taco stand. No more plates with a Serrano pepper and gorgeous presentation, no more mini fideo or chips and salsa. We were told we could eat inside if we wanted but all the orders we at the taco stand outside where they sold only the food in the tins. The cafe de olla we got was also very bitter and didn't have much piloncillo (brown sugar) in it at all. I'm so sad to say this was a huge disappointment as this was one of my favorite places to have breakfast in San Antonio. To top if off the lady serving the tacos didn't seem very inviting and when I asked about corn tortillas she asked if I was going to get any flour tortillas. I was totally confused because even if my partner was, she would serve those and then have me wait for mine to be made inside, thus leading to cold tacos. I only gave this place 2 stars because the carne guisada I got was good and the corn tortilla was made from scratch. So if you just want tacos, then yeah go here. But this place was so much more magical before and on a Saturday off, I personally want to sit and be waited on by the sweet ladies in their traditional Mexican dresses and the amazing authentic food and plates. So sad.

The best sope EVER!!! (Left)

One of the BEST MEXICAN MEALS I EVER HAD! (Don't tell momma!) Seriously, when I think back to some of my favorite meals ever (just thinking Mexican category), I keep thinking back to this awesome little spot in San Antonio. Take my advice: Enjoy the riverwalk, climb the tower, "Remember" to see The Alamo ... BUT EAT HERE AT CASCABEL!!! First time I felt like I was in another country. From the art inside, to the straw umbrellas outside, to the wonderful people there! My favorite thing was their sopes. I wish I could have eaten more! Please support this business, so it will still be there when I return! LOL!

Huaraches con bistek
Kent K.

What a wonderful find!! Cutest little restaurant. It felt like I stepped into another world - warm, colorful and welcoming. Lunch was fantastic - very authentic interior Mexican cuisine. I had the Hiaraches con bistek and it tasted as good as it looked!! Excellent house made salsa, too. The icing on the cake was the lovely waitress - truly a hospitable experience. Can't wait to com back!!

Cozy place with big flavors and big outdoor patio! I ordered a birria (goat) soup ($12.50), because, well, it was cloudy and the weather called for it. The soup bowl was loaded with meat! Add a side of home made corn tortillas, a bit of cilantro, onion and a squeeze of lime and honestly, probably one of the better soups I've had this side of the border. My wife ordered Tlacoyos with beef Tinga. Frankly, I've never heard of Tlacoyos before and I've only had chicken tinga so this was quite different. A good different. Service was very prompt. Outdoor patio was room with about 8 tables seating 4-6 people. One downside; insects. But, hey this is Texas. One other thing is I didn't see an alcohol menu, so not sure if there is alcohol or not. Other than that check this place out. Happy eating!!

Empanada de Flor de Calabaza (Squash Blossom)

I love this place. It truly authentic and off the beaten path. This is my go to place for pozole. It's the best I've ever had. I need to order some other dishes but I get the pozole almost every time. Most recently I also had an empanada de flor de calabaza (squash blossom). I've never tried anything like it before and it was excellent. You have to plan ahead to find a parking spot but it's worth the trouble.

Wondering if this place is pet friendly since it's close to walking areas?

They do have outside seating so I wouldn't think there would be an issue

Are pets allowed on the patio?

Yes! several cute dogs there when I went

Electronic dance music pulsed quietly in the background. The toilets were all individual unisex stalls that were classy, mine had run out of hand towels. Also, the entire restaurant is very dimly lit. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu, but I have poor eyesight so there's that, but it might explain the quality of the photos I took. The Paloma drink was amazing. It had a great spicy zing in the back of the throat after every sip. Queso was... kinda plain. It might have been better with the add chorizo option. It was very thick. Shrimp cocktail was big, but we started fighting over the shrimp pieces. There was plenty of onion and tomato left over after the batttle. Pollo Asado was a great flavor and the chicken was juicy. Grilled squash that was on the side was good. Chicken enchiladas were good and had freshly sliced jalapeños, which is always a welcome detail. I wasn't able to taste the quesadilla but my daoughter said it was "really good". Fried Chicken sandwich had a great flavor and the bacon was actually pork belly if I'm not mistaken. Sadly there was more batter than chicken. The seasoned fries were delicious and crispy.

Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.

Not sure if the Italian side and the cantina side share the same kitchen, but we will remember to come back and try that side as well. If the Italian menu and preparation is as unique as the cantina's, it will be a worthy adventure. For our appetizer we got the cheese dish pictured. I can not recall the name, but the cheese is a cool light cheese served in a warm tomato-based sauce, topped with slices of fresh avocados and chicharones and was served with flour and corn tortillas. Very delicious! As mentioned in the opening...the menu, preparation, and presentation at Panfila is unique. For our entrees my wife got the chile Relleno and I got the Milanese con Mole. The chile Relleno was served in a bowl with just an absolutely fabulous sauce and stuffed and covered with nicely melted cheese. The Milanese con Mole was absolutely decadent! The tender pork was lightly fried and covered in the most delicious mole that I have ever eaten. The chocolate was a little more prominent in the flavor profile than I am used to; and I wouldn't think that I would like that, but it was perfect! I enjoyed every bite and used the extra tortillas from our appetizer to finish off the mole. Highly recommend anything on the menu that incorporates that mole!! Fantastic place!
