    Chilaquiles plate
    Jasmine G.

    This place is an amazing, local restaurant. It is family owned and operated. Food is great, homemade and made with love. The inside is a little older, but still feels welcoming. The staff is always attentive and fast. The cooks are even friendly and will come by and assure your food was of standard. Prices are not bad and for the amount of food given. Tip: they are usually busy during breakfast time and will not sit incomplete parties.

    I've driven by Elizabeth's for years but never stopped in until today and I'm glad I did. For a Monday, the lunch crowd was pretty heavy, so we had a short wait before we were seated and had the opportunity to look over the menu. After a few minutes I decided to try the Monday lunch special, chicken mole. It's not something I order often but good for a change of pace. Once seated, our server took our order and brought out some chips and salsa. The chips were nice and crunchy while the salsa was fresh and had a little bit of a kick to it but not too spicy. When my order came out it smelled great and after my first bite it had a taste to match. The mole sauce is the real star and was really smooth with a nice blend of spices, chocolate, and peanuts. The chicken itself was juicy and tender and just soaked in the mole sauce. The rice was nice and fluffy, and the refried beans were seasoned well. The flour tortillas were made in house and were also quite good. Overall, everything was really good, and my only suggestion would be to pour the mole sauce over the chicken only and not all over the plate so to not overpower the taste of the rice and beans. I like forward to coming back and trying more of the menu and lunch specials.

    Delicious food, there's usually a wait but not too long. Attentive wait staff. A little pricey but the price of everything is going up.

    The Food was delicious however we waited an extremely long time for food we could have had at several other places. I will go back to try again but I won't wait for another 45 min. Again.

    Food was good. Chips and salsa were delicious... salsa is very hot. It was hard for my daughter and I to order because it was so authentic and wasn't sure what to get. If you order breakfast you don't get complimentary chips/salsa so she ordered breakfast and I ordered Lunch so we could since thats what mexican food is all about!

    Today was cheat day so we decided on this restaurant for brunch! We walked checked in put our names on the list and sat on the Cowboy's bench wearing our Cowboy's shirt and jersey lol wait wasn't too long we were sat within 15 minutes, right away. We sat at the table had a nice and friendly waitress. She took our order. Our food came within 15ish minutes. We ordered a Bean & cheese, potato & egg, Barbacoa with cilantro, bacon and egg with cheese and a chorizo and egg. The chorizo and egg was soooooo good we wanted to order another one but the waitress never came back unfortunately. That's why I gave 4 stars not 5. We also needed more tea but decided it was just time to go. The tacos were so good we still really enjoyed the experience. The ambience is nice for the restaurant, with all orange walls. Very nice. Overall, I recommend 100%!!! The wait is worth it. Tacos are delicious!

I decided to stay in the city longer to check out this place. This restaurant is huge and the wait was 45 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. We used our waiting time to stroll through the Mercado across the way. Once the table was ready, my friend got a text. I always wanted to try menudo every Mexican restaurant I go to. But not until I saw the sign on the back cover. This restaurant is under the same owner as Pico de Gallo. Omg. I just had their menudo the day before. No thanks. I decided to order fajita chicken salad. The portion was really small. The food only filled a half of the fried salad bowl. I asked to put cheese on the side. It may had it look more but I don't eat cheese as much. I was glad that dressing was on the side. Which was too salty for me. So, if the food was the same as other chain, we could have eaten there which was closer to the hotel. But I noticed the difference was the servers. Our waitress was cuter and very polite. My friends kept teasing her. She kept good manner and responded back with a smile "uhhh no". Hahaha.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood. Note that if you're dining solo, they will push hard to seat you at a dark diner type counter to stare at the kitchen area even if you have a reservation, so don't give in unless you're starving and that's your last resort. The colorful decor hits you and you're transported. I ordered the "Mexican Dinner" with chicken enchilada, pork tamal, beef taco with beans and rice. Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations. The mariachi band was fun and they roamed the restaurant and bar to play, so chances are that if they aren't singing at your table then they're nearby.

They ran out of cheesecake so they gave us tres leches as a substitute--as a huge tres leches fan, this was even better. Both desserts were outstanding. 10/10 will be back if visiting San Antonio again Service was also exceptional--ask for Theresa!! Love the setting, definitely sit outside if you can! Sitting by the river is super scenic and romantic.

There's such a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. As parents with notoriously picky eaters, we especially appreciate how accommodating the staff is - it's such a relief to know that our kids can also find something yummy with just a quick chat with the staff member. That really makes a difference for a family outing! And oh my goodness, the appetizers are simply fantastic. We couldn't get enough! I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

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.
