    Had chorizo and egg breakfast tacos, the chorizo and the egg was very fresh, the tortillas were homemade. The flavor was on point. I ordered lemonade. It was delicious. The restaurant is clean nicely decorated. Our waitress was fast, friendly and efficient.

    Well the guisada sauce aint right. The beans are cold and have no flavor and the tortillas are hard. You're not missing out on anything here. Waste of $10 on 4 tacos. Building cleanness and staff friendliness was okay.

    Cheese enchilada plate

    The food was very bland. The tortillas looked like HEB mini tortillas. The salsa for the chips was good, and the restroom was actually clean. I don't find that often in Mexican restaurants. When I went to pay, I had to wait about five minutes for the lady to finish a conversation with a customer that was sitting at the table in front the register. I understand being polite to regulars, but she could of taken my card while the continued talking. I had to get back to work.

    Monday lunch special is $8.99. Comes with a large tea, chips and salsa. Service was fast.

    Chilaquiles Rojos Plate

    Service was great for our first visit and food even better! Will definitely be back! Got the over easy eggs on the chilaquiles Rojos plate.

    This our favorite Mexican restaurant in San Antonio! Stefanie was our server and she's absolutely delightful and prompt!

    Food is good, definitely overpriced! Normally the wait is 10-15 minutes for to go food. Green salsa is amazing. Personally don't think you should charge $4 for avocado slices when you can get a whole one fire 0.69 cents.... Add more to the bean and cheese tacos and this is everytime you get a bean and cheese taco.

    Food was hot and incredibly delicious. Take in consideration we are picky with our Mexican food.

    I think we may have found our local neighborhood Mexican restaurant here at Taqueria El Rodeo on Potranco. It's not fancy and they don't have a gimmick. What they do have is consistent service and food quality. The tacos are large (if my photos don't already convey) and filled to the brim with the meat of your choice. And the meat of my choice is their pierna/pork leg. I have never heard of pierna until I came to Taqueria El Rodeo and it is what I dream about. Flavorful, fatty, tender bits of pork leg in whatever form you want. Tacos? Yes. Tostada? Yes. Gordita? Most definitely! The salsa that comes with their homemade chips is also made in-house and has a nice bit of spice to it making you crave more. Overall, the portions are huge for what you pay for, and the service is quick with no frills. Beans and rice aren't dry, haven't seen a wilted green, and no bad tomatoes here. Last thing, GET THE PIERNA! You won't regret it.

    These people should learn to watch dishes right  3 waiters/waitresses and 15 minutes to get a new fork

    First visit was a walk in on Sunday and it was packed. I welcomed to sit at the bar but later a…read moregirl came up and found didn't have my ID even though I wasn't drinking. Thankfully the hosts found me and my party a table. Our server was bright, communicative, and genuinely attentive. The grits blew my mind with it's rich butter and creamy texture while still have the grain texture. The fried tomatoes were met with a cornmeal fried crispy crunch and a juicy almost like it was marinated in lemon juice for a bit. The bacon was pretty good like a thick chunky sweet bacon strip. I personally like it a bit thinner and more crispy. I like that they offer orange juice and mango juice. My 2nd visit I knew better to get a reservation but it was completely booked when I looked to make a reservation the morning of. It was a Saturday morning. I walked in hoping anyways at 11am. They surprisingly had seats available outside this Texas summer lol. The meat pies were okay a little too greasy. I may be biased on Irish pub style meat pies. The nachos with boudin sauce and a lemon sour cream was out of this world with flavor. It what bean dip wishes it could be. I was so full I couldn't finish it, but I went for that dip. Our server cést comme ci comme ca this time. It like she was just there to get through the day that barely started. I was served a dirty water glass with a lipstick stain on it. My server rarely came by and I had to ask another server to help. Honestly I only tipped the girl server out of manners. I would not accept her as my server ever again.

    The happy hour is nice. Lots of easy fried options to try different things…read more I got a lot of them - the crab purse, the meat pie, the boudin ball, the gator egg, and etouffee. All of them were okay or better. The meat pie and crab were the best. If I came back I'd try the red beans and rice and skip the egg. The only thing holding me back from loving this place were the beignets. I've been to NOLA twice in my life (but once was this July 4th). So I don't think I'm a snob about them but these were terrible. They aren't crispy or salty...they are sort of stale and tasteless (but you do taste the powder sugar). I'm surprised by how bad they were versus the other food when it's a Nola breakfast place. My son got a pancake and it was way better than the beignet. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did it would be for a happy hour again (but I'd skip the beignets). Our server was wonderful. Nice and attentive.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

    Another great meal! Our server Brahim provided the perfect service: attentive, thoughtful, kind…read more Really enhanced our meal. For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
