What a treat - I've been missing out! My friend and I decided to have our quarterly brunch here…read moreafter having pre-game coffee at Common Wealth. I was iffy at first - we could have just had brunch at the coffee shop, but once I saw the menu I was convinced. My sister had been here before and suggested the Tacos Gringos (with pastor pork). So my friend and I split a ceviche appetizer, and I had a pepino (cucumber) gin, and the pastor tacos. The ceviche was unconventional, but it somehow worked! I'd never had ceviche with green olives (or any olives) in it. And while I didn't eat the olives, the brine imparted a different, but welcome, salty flavor. The tacos were GREAT. I was confused by the menu's description of calling the tortillas "action-packed" but I feel like I got it. They were slightly crispy and held together well. The rice and beans were also great. The drink was super refreshing. Staff was wonderful. The view? INCREDIBLE. The weather was gorgeous. Cool, slightly windy, so we sat outside and admired the view of north San Antonio. Amazing. I would love to come back for a slice of tres leches cake!

The food was good, I had a cup of the Chicken tortilla soup and of course chips and salsa. My favorite part of my meal was my jalapeno hibiscus margarita, it was a 10/10 for sure. I tried a taste of the enchiladas as well which were delicious. The views are gorgeous from their outdoor seating and the bar area is very spacious. Parking can get spicy during busy times but overall it's a great place to gather when you are in the mood for Mexican and in the area.

Come try the Cuban and then tell me what you think. Pro tip: ask for a side of their habanero sauce and dash that on your Cuban or one of the arepas and thank me later. The folks here are friendly and have a chill, welcoming pep in their step. They were around enough to make us feel valued but away enough to allow us to enjoy our meal and conversation. The space is bright and airy with lots of windows for a very Miami-meets-South-Texas vibe. No notes. This place is great and we always look forward to coming back and trying another thing on the menu.

I'd been to this place YEARS ago and I liked it then just never went back. I decide to give it a…read moretry again. Do not recommend. Walking in and waiting to be seated was not the best. I guess the hostess was at lunch and coming back, maybe wasn't on the clock yet? That's understandable, but if that's the case, maybe acknowledge I'm standing there and ask if I've been helped and tell me someone will come to assist. Some other lady came up after I'd been standing there at least 5mins to seat me. No one else was waiting. Place was pretty empty. Inside, there were plenty of open tables. It was clean. Waiter was good, right amount of attention was paid. I had the carnitas plate. I guess I was expecting something better. Flavor was fine. Meat had a lot of fat in it. Maybe this is typical and other places are just better at serving more of the meat? Idk. Beans were good. Rice was mushy wouldn't order that. Salsa and chips were fine as well. Experience was eh.

Stopped in for lunch after seeing such good reviews and glad I did. Ever since I heard of espagueti…read moreverde and have been wanting to try it and the only restaurant that I found had it on their menu had just rotated it off the menu but here comes El Catrin to the rescue with their Pasta Verde. So of course, I order the Paster Verde and add shrimp. While waiting for my dish I decide to order a Chispa on the rocks (think of a skinny margarita) since I didn't have to go back to work. The drink is well made and strong. When my pasta comes out it is plated well and garnished with half cut cherry tomatoes. The green sauce is a creamy poblano sauce that definitely provides a different flavor profile than traditional tomato-based sauces but it's a nice change and it pairs really well with the grilled shrimp. The cherry tomatoes are a nice touch. Overall, I really enjoyed the staff, food and drinks at El Catrin and I look forward to coming back and trying their breakfast menu.

At first, I was ready to walk out the door. There were open tables and servers rushing by, and as…read moresoon as you walk in, you are met with a sign saying "please wait to be seated" in your face, but with no hostess stand and literally nowhere to wait. We stood there a couple minutes before anyone spoke to us. However, we were given a table eventually. After this, the service improved. I had the pollo cilantro, and it was DELICIOUS. My husband enjoyed the enchilada trio but said the mole was the best part. My sons enjoyed the Al pastor tacos. Food was good, service okay. The one thing is- they charge $4.50 for a CAN of coke. For reference, you can get a 12-pack at HEB for less than $9.

The appetizers were so good that we couldn't decide, so we ordered three to share! I originally came for the pan-seared steak after seeing it featured on Texas Eats, but unfortunately they were sold out. Instead, we ordered the steak and the double pepperoni pizza, and both were absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to our waitress, Serena, who provided amazing service and made our experience even better. After watching Texas Eats this morning, we knew we had to give this place a try, and we're so glad we did. We'll definitely be back!

My second visit was when I took my mom for a Mother's Day Brunch and we both loved it as well. She is even planning on making another visit with her girlfriends as they are always looking for new brunch spots. The hostess and waitresses were very welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. I just love the vibe at Primos! If only I lived closer to the area, I would easily be a usual at Primos! But for now, I look forward to my next visit. Hopefully I can find some time soon as I am craving the calamari and ravioli!

Another server brought us two specials menus and one of our party finally asked for additional special menus. I ordered the fish plate (grilled) which came with Fideo and a drink.

Everyone enjoyed their food! One of our party was having a birthday and the entire wait staff came and sang happy birthday to her. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and Jeshua was an amazing waiter!!! Tip was included on our separate checks. We will definitely return!!

Went to lunch to celebrate a birthday for our Zumba instructor where this was her choice of…read morerestaurant to eat. It was a dreary day but we were looking forward to having our seafood entrees. I don't know why they sat 5 of us gals in a back booth right next to the kitchen instead of the front by the windows since we were celebrating a birthday and had presents? We got there before 12pm and a few booths were available by the window? I thought that was odd. Anyway, Raul was our waiter who was very enthusiastic, helpful and patient as we perused the menu trying to decide what to drink at first? A couple of friends asked what the different drinks were and decided on the Mango Stella-Rita which had a Chamoy covered thick straw, Mango-forward puree and the can of Stella Rosa Mango Sparkling wine that's placed upside down in the heavy Margarita glass like a Michelada. The birthday girl ordered a Pineapple Margarita that had some chunks of fresh pineapple in the drink. It had a kick, IMO! One of our friends shared some of her Mango drink with a couple of us because it was a lot to drink. She actually was munching on her chamoy straw and hardly ate most of her entree, LOL!! She was our onsite photographer anyway. I asked Raul how much the Bloody Mary and Sangria cost and he looked on his hand-held ordering device and said most drinks are $13-$15. The drink menus don't have prices, only the food menus. Not sure why? He said fresh fruit is added to the fruity drinks like the Margaritas. I thought that was nice. 3 of us ordered the Mojarra Chicharron fried fish dish that comes with rice, green salad and a fresh salsa. I was craving that for awhile now. Bday girl ordered the Tostada Super Mixta which was hefty, brimming with Surimi on top. Our friends ordered a cup of fish soup and fried oysters that came with fries and bread which I've never seen before. Portions are huge and all who ordered the Mojarra Chicharron had to go boxes as it's a lot of fish. We told Raul that it was our friend's birthday and he saw the presents but no Happy Birthday desserts were offered?? Food is good but good to know in case you're celebrating a birthday. You'll have to bring your own Birthday Cake. The restrooms are clean and there's lots of parking. The place was pretty busy by the time we left at 2pm.
