Would happily give 4.5 stars if I could. Lovely location, quiet. They seated us in a private room for some reason, which worked out beautifully. We had the melted cheese app which was to die for, and the chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich could have used more chimichurri flavor, but was still good. We had a fabulous server and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more

Excellent food and cocktails for a pre-show dinner. We really enjoyed the empanadas! The atmosphere is very classy too.

Great food. Cosy atmosphere. Amazing service. Ester made the evening even better! Definitely a great place for dinner.

#BradyEats get the meat platter for two- almost too much. The chicken de la Casa salad was chicken breast dressing and lettuce- simple and very filling. The wagyu Beef is really something special read more

The prawns dish picture posted by DiAnne G in one of the previous posts is actually the craw fish dish according to the restaurant. The actual prawns dish is this one I posted below. I am posting this to make sure people like me won't be ordering the prawns dish expecting something different. read more

Fantastic food, and the service was excellent as well. The flavor and quality of food was mouth watering. This will be a frequent stop for me whenever I'm back in the downtown area. read more

Thank you for the amazing customer service. The wine suggestions were on point and the mushroom and bacon risotto was just delicious.

This is not a real Argentinian restaurant. The empanadas are not compared to real Argentinian empanadas. Besides the restaurant not being authentic, the cocktail glass wear was all sticky. Besides all of that, the deserts were great. After speaking with the manager, he mentioned that the restaurant is an "Argentinian inspired cuisine." Now this made more sense. If you are Argentinian, don't have your hopes too high. read more

I loved this place! It was so beautiful on the inside. It's inside of Hotel Valencia on the second floor. The ambiance was very relaxing, we walked in from really crowded hot streets, to a very calm and cool place so was very nice to relax and get away from the chaos. Food was really good, I recommend the ravioli, but the prawns were hard to eat because you have to shell them and clean them on your own. read more

Order a summer exclusive poptail, it was a Mango Habanero Margarita on the Rocks. I thought it would be too spicy but it was fine, a little sweet but good. Next time I'll order it with prosecco. read more

Chef Anthony of Dorrego's was absolutely AMAZING!! The restaurant is lovely! One of my fave things were the flavored syrups to sweeten your tea. The bulls on the table were a nice touch. Service was perfect! The food was delicious and the concept of "Un Poco Mas" is one that is based on traditions in Argentina!! Makes for a great date night dinner! Dorrego's is the only Argentinian-inspired restaurant in San Antonio! How unique is that!! read more

Staying at the Hotel Valencia, thought we'd try out the restaurant inside the hotel. Atmosphere was nice. Food was pretty good. I ordered the steak, was ok but I think I've cooked better at home. Little bland. Family ate the quail which was presented wonderfully and tasted great as well. Dessert was superb, get the Vigilante if you stop by. You can't beat Brie and fruit. Be prepared to spend some $$$. Overall good experience. read more

I get that we are in a tough labor market, and places in the service industry are short staffed, but wow... This was an aggressively mediocre experience. We started with an order of the empanadas. These were legitimately pretty good. These came out slowly, and we ordered drinks and food when they came out. The empanadas were pretty good. Our group ordered Dorrego's burgers and the Argentinian Sheppard's Pie, and a round of drinks. The food came out and was fine, but I legitimately thought they forgot we ordered drinks. When they finally did come out, they were pretty bad. My wife ordered the flower shop, but when it came out it tasted like watered down coconut rum. Long story short, appetizer was solid, food was adequate, service was slow, and drinks were not good. I'll probably give it another shot, because it is so close to majestic and empire theatres, but if I get a repeat performance, I will cross it off the list... read more

I just went with husband and kids to have a Mother's Day special dinner. We got there with no reservation and they hesitated to seat us when there were all tables available and warned us that we needed a reservation. When we left there were only three tables being served. Service was good but food was not. We ordered the snapper and and the ribeye steak and both of them were not good. Both were not worth 50 dlls and potatoes were under cooked. Meat was not tender and had no flavor. Enpanadas and melted cheese were ok appetizers. We wished we had gone for just drinks and empanadas instead of a complete meal. Will not comeback again. read more

Went for Lunch today. We must have experienced an off day because the experience was seriously lacking. The ambience and décor, energy, and first impressions I great. I especially love the lack of noise. Easy to have a conversation. We were quickly seated and the waitress took our drink orders which came out fairly soon after. We waited at least 15 minutes before we could see any waitstaff and finally got her attention and the expression on her face seemed like she just remembered we were there. We placed our order and after 10 minutes she came out to tell us that they were out of corn masa for one of our party who ended up ordering a salad. Our food took an exceptionally long time to arrive (about 20-15 minutes). We had to get napkins from the next table because our waitress disappeared. I had the Chicken-Veg-Ricotta Empanada which was average and lacked much flavor. The ChoriPan Sandwich was good but if you are not prepared for a strong chorizo flavor would not recommend it. The fried potatoes were a bit al-dente but otherwise delicious. No sugar on the table and we had to uncap the salt and pepper shakers because they were stopped up. I would try for supper some time but if you are in a hurry for a quick lunch bite I would not recommend this place. read more

I'm so disappointed, I looked for Argentinian restaurant in San Antonio and I found Dorrego's, first is not authentic argentina food, second I order a plate and bring way different plate, I have to as the waiters, I'm not order this, and she said we don't have the one u order that why I bring one close one,‍ read more

Delicious food! Great service and flavors. Excellent wine selection. The vegetarian pasta was superb and surprisingly (subtly) cheesy. The bartender made me a lovely mock tail. The octopus was perfectly cooked, tender and charred. The chimichurri sauce was garlicky and so addictive. At the end of the meal, we were given lovely little dessert gifts to go. All in all, a lovely experience. The decor is wonderful and homey but classy. read more

My husband and I have a favorite date night restaurant that we have gone to for years...well, Dorrego's is now our new spot. We planned a 4th of July stay-cation and have eaten there two days in a row. The staff is so nice and accommodating and the food is delish! We had the panela, empanadas, grilled asparagus, grilled trout, hearts of palm salad, dulce de leche cake and fruit sorbet. And to top it off, they make the best chimichurri I have ever had in my life. Relaxing atmosphere and comforting food...just a damn good time. read more

We had breakfast and coffee here. This place is KETO friendly, we were able to order an omelet to our Keto liking and the staff brought us heavy cream for our coffee. The coffee was delicious BTW! Staff was super friendly and accommodating. read more

We just had one of the best meals ever. The ribeyes were perfectly cooked medium rare and tender and so flavorful. The accompanying sweet potato were delicious as were the roasted Roma tomatoes. The waitstaff were extremely attentive and a pleasure with which to interact. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

De-effing-licious!! Came here because it was too cold to walk any further than our hotel and boy am I glad we did!!! The bread and house chimichurri was amazing! Hearty plates, thick sauces, and happy bellies read more

We had dinner here before the Cats musical. Never again, the service was okay but food took a long time to come out, which we were cutting it close to show time, and when it did the shrimp risotto was undercooked and soupy. The rice was hard and undercooked, not what you expect for a $25 dish! We told the manager and hope it will help them to improve, but sorry I will not be back. read more

I have long wondered if I would one day experience a meal so good (or so bad...) that it would actually motivate me to sign up for Yelp and write my first review just to share my experience. Dorrego's just gave me that experience. I will say, the food is very good. If you love being completely ignored, spending a cumulative of several hours waiting with nothing on the table, great Argentinian food, and a bumbling and evasive staff this may be the place for you. Oh and it's really expensive too. We placed our order about 15-20 minutes in, get our drinks, and it's all good. Our first appetizer comes out about 30 minutes later with the server explaining they forgot the rest of our order - we remind them - no big deal. The next appetizer comes out another 30 minutes later. We've been here a long time at this point just waiting for appetizers, but still, not a huge deal. We finish that appetizer and order another round of drinks which actually takes half an hour for us to get (I ordered a beer...). I could keep going but I want to go to bed so I'll just sum it up by saying we spent over two and a half hours in the restaurant waiting for our entrees until finally telling them just to bring it out in to-go boxes because we were sick of sitting there. The waiter was bumbling about kitchen issues and offered us each a cup of lemonade as an apology. Lemonade. At 10pm. We're adults. God awful service. Good Argentinian food. Condescending and incompetent wait staff. read more

First time here. We come to San Antonio frequently for business. I saw online that there would be live music in the lounge for happy hour. When we arrived, we realized that the happy hour had a limited bar menu...fair enough. So I asked the restaurant whether they would serve us in the lounge and received my favorite hotel answer: "Of course sir, we'll serve you wherever you like." So we set up camp in the lobby with a prime view of the guitar player. The service was great. We ordered two appetizers and an entree to share. The food was terrific and the service was attentive. A word about the music - flamenco guitar by Randy. We learned he was there on Wednesday and Friday for happy hour. He's the real deal. We love guitar music and he was a joy to watch. Even though the lounge was pretty empty when we were there, he gave a full performance. A great way to end a tough week at work. Go, listen to Randy, eat, drink and you'll be happy you did read more

Dorrego's not only had delicious breakfast. They had the best customer service I've ever experienced in a restaurant. I visited here this morning with 2 children under the age of 2! The server was so tentative to our needs without being asked. I ordered one meal for my 23 month old son and I to share. She brought out orange juice in a cup with a lid for him without being asked and his own plate of pancakes. There was plenty of food, I wasn't over charged, and everyone was so polite and courteous. They even entertained my son with multiple Holstein cow figurines. I'm sure this isn't a restaurant made to cater towards children, but they did a great job! They really made dining with one parent and with 2 children a delightful experience. read more

This place lost a star right off the bat because in a sparsely filled place the hostess tried to seat this single diner at the table closest to the bus area, kitchen door & passageway in from the lobby. I asked for a seat further into the room and she did oblige but I don't take kindly to that sort of treatment. That being said, the food was fine. I opted for 2 appetizers as I needed something relatively quick and both the avocado crab salad and the pair of empanadas were very good. read more

Put the chimichurri on a shoe and it would be edible...but seriously, it was delicious. The cocktail called Flower Shop was very good. Service was great. Best cooked steak I have had in a while. Was a bit pricey. It's located in the Hotel Valencia so its a bit hard to find but worth the hunt read more

I have to take a minute to give a shout out to the chef. I currently don't eat grains. This results in a lot of boring half-way good meals. Most restaurants just serve the sandwich without bread like an after thought. It's fine cause it's my problem, not theirs. But it has resulted in low expectations on my part. However, at Dorrego's the pastrami sandwich I ordered blew me away! The chef took a few extra moments to prepare it like it was meant to be that way. It was thoughtful, delicious and made my day! I have been to 5 star restaurants that didn't put this extra bit of effort in. Thank you to the person responsible, it's the little things that make all the difference! read more

Just got finished with breakfast at Dorrego's. The food was bland and unauthentic. My husband and I are currently suffering from GI issues due to our meals. I wish there was something positive to say about the servers at least, but there's not. Our server came up and said, "Do you know what you want?" She didn't introduce herself or anything. For the price of everything, I would expect details to be better kept up with as well, such as dried water rings on the table next to us, which tells me it never got wiped down and it makes me question the cleanliness of the entire place. I do not recommend and we will not be back. read more

NEVER busy at lunch. After standing at the host stand for at least 4 minutes without being greeted, we had to flag down the host. We asked him if there was wifi available, because we were trying to go for a working lunch, and he said "hotel guests only." Then suggested we could ask the front desk for a guest pass. REALLY? You are a struggling restaurant in the heart of downtown San Antonio, with NO other tables full at noon on a Wednesday and you really want to turn away business by not having wifi? I've eaten here before and the food was okay- nothing special, but the service is very, VERY slow. I would not recommend this restaurant for anybody on time constraints, or that would need to access wifi. read more

If you come in expecting AUTHENTIC Argentine you'll be disappointed. HOWEVER this shouldn't detour you. It's not the easiest place to find but it's near the bar on the second floor in the hotel. All I can really review is what I had . I ordered was the grilled octopus , the ravioli and the duck empanadas. The complementary bread with red chimichurri (yes, red) is good. It's like a sundried tomato pesto yet more oily to dip . Trust me . It's good. The grilled pulpo (octopus) was overcooked and overpriced. I tried it and started losing confidence..lol Then I had the ravioli. Looks small but it's rich and flavorful. Very Neapolitan but the filling of shredded steak gave it a little Texan flavor. Seasoned right by the way.. Then we tried the duck empanadas. If I could do it again I'd order 3 plates of empanadas and a bottle of wine , gorge it and feel sorry for myself. Something about taking fatty duck meat, stuffing it into a flour empanada and frying it. It'll break a vegan.. If you come you must order it. And ot comes with the red chimichurri .. Yes.. It seemed pricy looking at the menu but when the bill came it wasn't so bad.. Especially for the quality of food. Small portions. Keep in mind. If the pulpo was spot on I would of gave it 4.5 stars. read more

I was debating between Chicken Milanese and The Ravioli, I was told if I was adventurous to try the ravioli. It felt like a challenge so needless to say, I tried and I'm glad I did. It was REALLY good. Had the apple empanadas for dessert and even their coffee was on point. Def would come back!! read more

I will start by saying this review in no way reflects the servers who were doing their best to keep things going in what seems an impossible situation. The kitchen and management on the other hand have really dropped the ball with what was supposed to be a "stunning" dining experience. What has stunned us tonight is the immense amount of time all patrons have had to wait for their food and the sheer lack of quality in the food that was served. We ordered the provoleta grilled/flaming cheese, which took nearly an hour and arrived simply drenched in the alcohol used to create the flame so that the cheese was soupy and inedible due to the soaked through alcohol taste. My husband and I ordered the NY strip and the ribeye, medium rare and medium temperatures. The steaks came out cooked to leather and our sides were cold and in some cases completely missing from the plates. We sent our steaks back, the servers were simply horrified and embarrassed, but they got us our food back fairly quickly. The steaks were not over done when they came back, but my new steak had no seasoning, one of my sides was undercooked, and my husband's ribeye was half fat and gristle and once again, inedible. Our servers got the dinner comped, which of course we appreciate and think is fair considering the disastrous kitchen situation. We are so disappointed in this experience, as we were hoping this meal would be a highlight of our visit to San Antonio. All reviews indicated it would be, we're greatly saddened that was not the case for us and apparently not for any patrons of Dorrego tonight. I hope this review helps to improve things to it's reputation. read more

This is the bar that is attached to Hotel Valencia along the Riverwalk in San Antonio. We arrived late Sunday night and this was a convenient stop. We were pleasantly surprised by the food, but the service was excellent! Yesenia was fantastic, made us feel very welcome, and even accommodated our request for an off the menu item. We had a brisket burger the second night we came in and It. Was. Bomb. Soooo juicy and delicious! Thank you for an awesome dining experience! read more
