    Awesome atmosphere and ambiance at this establishment in downtown Goliad. Live music entertains on Saturday nights with cold drinks.

    We needed somewhere for a drink and a quick bite to eat. The first place we hit was a wine bar, no…read moreliquor so we found this place which did not open till 5 or 6 PM. We got a table and they could not make a hot toddy having no honey so we both got Jack and Cokes that were good. We got a small meal with two hamburger sliders. I ate one and she the other, I got mine with just cheese and mayo, hers was as is with onions. The slider was good but greasy so be careful and the fries were good. The wait staff was ok but spent more time focusing on the regulars or people they knew from outside work. There were 2 or 3 inside seating areas and one outside a few feet from the restaurant. The prices were okay for what is was. Just the distraction of regulars who were not eating coming in and wait staff focusing on them was rather annoying. No one was mean or rude per se just off putting. Not sure we will be back for a return visit if in the area.

    February 2019 - Mustang Cantina has a decent menu, good cooks, and fine beverages. Service is…read morenot good though; it presently lacks a wait staff and a manager who are able to do a minimally acceptable job. Expect chaos and having to be assertive when you walk into this place. When i was there, there were empty tables; it did not appear to be overly busy. There was a table of about 8 in the area near the bar that were finishing up, they were getting a little service. There did not appear to be any waiters working, unbelievably, and it mystifies me why the restaurant cannot simply hire 2 or 3 people to wait tables? I will avoid this place in the future. The overworked bartender mixed drinks, waited tables and bussed half the tables in the joint. The bartender was so busy trying to perform all the jobs that niceties were out of the question. Also, it seemed that she had not received proper training in how to wait tables. Doing her best under impossible circumstances, she joylessly delivered the mixed beverages expeditiously. After we walked in at 7:35 pm on Saturday night, we sat ourselves, mindful of the "Please Seat Yourself" sign. We were not greeted, and felt like we had arrived to a party where we were not welcome. We noticed that a busboy was painstakingly & diligently clearing and wiping one of the 2 free tables in the front room. We were asked at some point by a bartender if we wanted a drink. Since we had no drink list or menu, i ordered a cocktail from my head. After my drink was brought out, my companion who had wanted a drink also, but was not high- spirited enough to invent one in his head and shout it over to the overly occupied bartender, decided to walk across the room and spirit away a drink menu for us to ponder. Natually, we were not brought a food menu in line with the theme of the evening to make us feel like we were an imposition. After our round of cocktails arrived at around 8 pm, I waited awhile to give the bartender a little break from having to pay attention to us. No music was playing, which i thought was more reminiscent of a Lubys or Cracker Barrel or school cafeteria than a stylish, classy establishment. I finally broke down to inquire with the bartender who was rushing around rather frantically whether we could possibly order food. The bartender took our surprise announcement within stride & dutifully presented us with dinner menus. Victory! She returned to take our food orders. The club soda and glass of water that i asked for before did not make it to the table although my dinner partner got his water. A pleasant, smiling woman wearing a hairnet, who sprung from the bowels of the restaurant, brought us a fantastic plate of waffle fries topped with melted cheese, tasty pickles, jalapeno peppers, etc. Suddenly, some very nice music started playing ( Pearl Jam ). We licked the plate clean. Blue Hawaiian and martini were artfully crafted by our bartender. Our entrees came out speedily and fully met our expectations. My water never arrived and dessert was never offered.

    Great bar/restaurant- we sat at the patio enjoying the weather. The food took a while to arrive…read moreprobably because they were full And busy, thankfully there was a play area To keep our daughter busy. Wife ordered a drink (can't remember the name) and I ordered a pina colada, strangely they both tasted exactly the same. Other than that the food was great. Loved my smash burger with bacon and extra patty added Will come back here if we visit port Aransas again

    After searching for what felt like forever to find a highly recommended spot -- even Port A Escapes…read morelisted this place as a must‑try -- we decided to give it a shot. I've traveled all over the world and up and down the U.S. coastline, and I understand beach‑town dining can be hit or miss. But this experience left us genuinely confused about the glowing reviews. We walked into a tiny establishment where the bar was fully staffed and drinks were flowing, yet we couldn't even get served food. Alcohol seemed ready to go, but the kitchen was moving at a pace that made no sense. We were told food would take over an hour. For a place this small, that's baffling. It made me wonder if the rave reviews were written through "vacation goggles" -- sunburned, tired, or a few drinks in -- because from our sober perspective, nothing about the service or setup matched the hype. Maybe the "excellent" part of the name refers strictly to the bar, because the grill definitely felt off‑duty. We ended up leaving without ever getting food. Not the experience we were hoping for.
