Girlfriend and I dined at Mezquite last week on a weekday evening prior to a show at Stable Hall. Neither of us had been there before and we were looking forward to our visit. The food was good, tortillas hot, guacamole served on a cold mini-metate. BUT, we were 2 women over 50, not ordering a lot of food and were absolutely ignored by our waitstaff. Ended up flagging someone down by using ' guide the plane in' arms. we never offered another drink, more from the small plate menu, or water refills. has success gone to their heads? with food and rent prices what they are, the success won't last without better service. loved the food, hated the service experience. read more

Beautiful restaurant and bar with an incredible atmosphere. This place is truly a marvel, it feels like you're dining at a chic restaurant in Mexico City, tucked away inside Pullman Market. The appetizers, entrées, and desserts are all delicious, but my favorite part is the bar. It looks as though it was carved out of clay and serves some of the most impressive cocktails in the city. Their extensive selection of mezcals and tequilas stays true to the restaurant's authentic concept and commitment to quality. I always choose Viva Mexico Tequila as the base for my cocktails and trust that whatever the bartenders create will be exceptional. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply stopping in for a cocktail, this spot delivers. I highly recommend Mezquite to both locals and visitors to San Antonio. read more

I loved the convenient location of this restaurant being located inside The Pullman Market and near The Pearl opening great options to grab drinks/wander around before or after enjoying a meal here. I want to emphasize when the servers mentioned "shareable plates" they were not joking!!! I thought to myself that because of the restaurant's Michelin acknowledgement the plates would be on the smaller side but I was wrong. There is definitely enough food to go around comfortably for 4-6 people. I really enjoyed how all the servers worked together and were not strictly assigned for a table, it made service very efficient and smooth. I was able to taste the: ceviche, beans/queso, Carmelo (quesadilla like dish), and the chicken entree. I want to highlight specifically the ceviche and the beans. These dishes were out of the ordinary... the beans served with their house butter and honey slathered on a fresh tortilla was incredible. The ceviche was not your standard ceviche dish but was paired nicely with a rich peanut/smoky sauce that complimented the fish very nicely. Overall these two items were a 10/10. I would suggest passing on their queso and the Carmelo (quesadilla) as they were not bad but nothing I haven't experienced before. I will highlight their salsa verde served with the Carmelo dish was FANTASTIC!!! The chicken entree was very tasty, the chicken was nice and juicy with a nice char from the grill. I do wish this dish had more of a kick either with a spice to stand out from the well blended flavors, just for something extra. I ended this meal with their pecan flan which was very interesting as they used pecan milk to construct this dish. I think their candied pecans were amazing... no notes, however I wasn't too sure how I felt about the flan itself, great creativity but not sure on the delivery... it was yummy but questionable. Overall VERY great establishment, great for a nice meal with friends/family and would definitely suggest sharing everything with a group!! I will be coming again :) read more

My family of four decided we wanted to go to the Pearl to Eat and was headed To Southerleigh when we realized they were closed until 5 so we opted to try something new. We always see this restaurant but have never tried it . They have two different menus and two different seating areas based on the menu you choose. We went for the Tex Mex cantina menu as I have a picky 15 year old and the other menu is for more mature palates. For the Catina style menu you can openly sit at tables near the bar and scan a QR code to Order food and drinks . My oldest daughter had the carne asada tacos, my youngest had the OG barrito, my wife and I both got the Pollo Asada rice bowl. The Asada tacos were served with a salsa that was semi spicy. The meat was very flavorful and is garnished with cilantro . She enjoyed them a lot. The OG barrito is filled with beans, guacamole, and carne asada. It looks more like a large flauta on flour . Upon her first bite she was like "this is good ", she wished it had the Spanish rice inside too. The Rice bowls my wife and I had were very flavorful, the chicken was seasoned well and the rice was cooked just right with an excellent flavor. It also came with avocado on top, beans, and pico. We all enjoyed our meal immensely! Only downside was how long it took to get the food . read more

Awesome brunch here! We made reservations online for a Sunday morning before leaving San Antonio. This restaurant is located in the Pullman Market. We checked in easily at the front and were seated right away. The restaurant is beautiful and has super high ceilings. It's very pleasant! Only complaint is that we were right next to all the plants so little fruit flies were all around our table. I ordered a mezcal margarita and would definitely get it again. I went with the huevos rancheros ($17), but it was tough choosing between all the delicious items on the menu. The huevos rancheros came with burnt ranchero salsa, cilantro, criolla, avocado, and black beans. OMG so good. I loved every single bite. My fiance got the breakfast tacos (3 for $16): chorizo, egg, salsa verde cremosa, and crema served with a side of breakfast potatoes. He loved it too! We especially loved the Sonoran wheat tortillas. Prices were really reasonable and the food was fresh and delicious. Service was not extra special or great, but was fine. We will definitely be back! read more

We come here frequently and Fikes is always here holding it down behind the bar. She's consistently amazing every single time we come in. Her service is top tier. She's friendly, attentive, and somehow she takes care of everyone even when it's packed. Drinks are always made perfectly, and she keeps the energy fun and welcoming. It's rare to find that kind of consistency. If you're coming here, make sure you sit with Fikes. She'll take care of you every time. read more

*Restaurant Week 2026 Lunch Experience* BLUF: Great food, fair value, rushed service. Restaurant Week Lunch is at Mezcalaria, their cantina, NOT Mezquite. The food was delicious, as I've come to expect from all of the Pullman Market dining options. The $25 per guest pre fixe offerings all begin with guacamole, paired with tostadas. The guac was fresh tasting, and paired well with the warm tostadas. For our entrees, we opted for the Carnitas and Barbacoa Tacos. The carnitas were adorned with onion, radish, cilantro, and queso fresco. They tasted great on their own, but even better with the addition of the salsa rojo and salsa verde provided. The barbacoa were adorned with guacamole, onion, and cilantro. The guacamole felt redundant given it was the same as the lone pre fixe appetizer option. To finish, a delicious piece of tres leches cake, dusted with cinnamon. Its taste was more reminiscent of horchata than other tres leches I've sampled, but delicious all the same. A lot of ambient construction type noises during our visit, seems like something you'd do earlier in the morning, later at night, or opt out of restaurant week for. Service felt lackluster and a bit rushed. We had a reservation, but there was no need. At 12pm on a Tuesday there was ample open seating at the bar and the tables within the cantina area. They ask for a payment card up front, which seemed tacky for table service in the cantina area, a practice I'm familiar with at bars and breweries, but not at places marketing themselves during restaurant week. Also, our dessert was brought to the table before we'd finished our first tacos, which made the experience feel rushed, the unencessity of which was exacerbated by the relative emptiness of the venue. Things worth knowing ahead of time: When I made a lunch reservation on OpenTable for Mezquite to try their 2026 Restaurant Week menu, I assumed I'd be offered the Mezquite menu listed on the San Antonio Restaurant Week website. Instead, you're limited to the Mezcalaria menu until the dinner service starts at 5pm. Not sure if the Mezcalaria menu remains available throughout the evening. In my opinion, Mezquite and Mezcalaria should be listed and treated as two separate venues. (There is an unclaimed listing for Mezcalaria with zero reviews on Yelp, so I'll post this there as well.) There's ample paid parking options at The Pearl, and a smaller lot adjacent to The Pullman Market that offers 2-hours free with a Pullman Market purchase. read more

I am sooo happy to report they have brought back their smaller bites! When they originally changed their menu to a more upscale experience my husband and friends I had gone to Mezquite with were so disappointed. But they brought back their street food type bites and it was delicious! My husband got the OG Burrito and he told me it was really good and flavorful. I had the mushroom caramelos and the mushrooms were amazing. The taste was really savory and they were a great texture. This is the dish I had originally when I first started coming to Mezquite and it remains one of my favorite plates at the Pearl. The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because the service was a little lacking. They could have just been understaffed for a holiday Monday shift. Overall I'd come back for lunch for sure, they also went back to a more classic guacamole recipe which is a big improvement from the guac we had previously. read more

The team at Pullman Market's Mezquite prepares delicious and expertly presented dishes. This welcoming spot provides an alternative to San Antonio's Tex-Mex food scene with offerings inspired by the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico. The dishes are beef-centric mesquite-grilled, and exceptional. Simple, fresh ingredients... and the team is friendly, thoughtful and clearly cares about hospitality.... be sure to ask for Jose. Highly recommend... cheers! read more

Ambiance is great, decorated really well and seats are comfy. It's inside the Pullman market and they really turn up the AC, so perfect when it's insanely hot outside. Service was amazing, the waiter was super quick to take our order, very attentive and refilled my iced tea multiple times. The pescado tacos were pretty good and the sauces were so yum. The only downside is that it was very salty. I give this place a solid 3.8. Honestly shoutout to the service. read more

Really pretty interior but it is insanely loud. You just come in and seat yourself and then order through your phone with the QR code on the table. No one greets you or provides any service until your food is ordered. We ordered 2 orders of chips and salsa for the table (which was not cheap btw) and they delivered 7 mini tortilla sided chips and 3 bottles of hot sauce. We said that we ordered 2 and they said "that's enough for 2 orders" as if they were making it up as they went. Hot sauce instead of salsa was ridiculous. When the food came, a few things were wrong and several times throughout the meal, someone came up to use trying to give us something we didn't order because they got confused with the table numbers. My quesadilla was very good. The other members of my party were not impressed by their food. And nothing comes with sides. We had a couple of issues or needed something throughout our dining experience and it was very hard to get anyone to help since we didn't actually have an assigned waitstaff member. There didn't seem to be any communication between staff and there were definitely issues with the app ordering experiment. They are trying something and it's just not working. And it's expensive to boot. read more

DELICIOUS. The food was some of the best elevated Mexican food I've had in San Antonio. The vibe was expertly curated with beautiful low lighting and candles on the table. At one point in the night they even has a live mariachi band playing- can't get better than that! The tortillas that were served were the best tortillas I've ever had. Served with a side of butter and honey to dip making it a sweet treat. We paired the tortillas with the calabacitas (my 2nd favorite thing we ordered) which was messy but if everything can be eaten with a tortilla .. why not?! We also ordered the roasted beets and though my SO loved them I was meh on it. Though tasty I am not fond of mole. All in all I'd HIGHLY recommend this spot for locals and out of towners read more

Came for brunch, this place has a bib gourmand, Michelin. We unfortunately did not get that kind of service. The server forgot important elements of the dishes we ordered, we had to repeatedly ask for items so we can enjoy a complete meal as described on the menu. Barbacoa was $28 (with egg) and should come with tortillas. Came after we asked already ate a quarter of the meal when we remembered the tortillas! The refills for drinks were also asked for repeatedly. One of the dishes didn't come with egg on top that we paid extra for. Server looked like we were bothering him and we were the first customer there. SMH! Still four stars because drink and food were good, place was cute. Deducting a star coz of service. read more

My wife and I went here recently for a casual Saturday night dinner. We ended up doing theirs Chef's menu option which is an assortment of their dishes from the menu picked for you. Everything we had was incredible and the price for it was very reasonable compared to many other restaurants that offer this option. Service was fantastic, ambiance was very nice yet relaxed. If you don't have time to book a table or they are full they also have a bar associated with them that serves food as well right next to it inside Pullman Market. Definitely would come back. read more

Had a great dinner experience at Mesquite. Came on a busy Friday afternoon and they were able to sit us down. We ordered from their bar menu since their main menu was not capturing our interest. We ordered chips and salsa which wasn't chips, they were tostadas. As soon as the tostadas were set on our table, we could smell the rancid oil they'd been cooked in. Bummer. We ordered 2 asada tortas, an asada bowl and barbacoa tacos. All the food came out fast and tasted fantastic. Made up for the rancid tostadas. Their salsas were very good too! The barbacoa tacos were so delicious! I ordered a tiki style cocktail which I can't remember the name of but did enjoy. Staff was very accommodating as we decided to order from the bar menu instead. Besides the tostadas , we enjoyed our visit and looking forward to returning. read more

Came here for a nice Friday afternoon lunch. Parking was easy and plentiful with their designated parking lot. It costed a little over $5 for two hours of parking. The restaurant is like an oasis with beautiful plants surrounding the space. Soft Spanish music played in the background eliciting a relaxing atmosphere. I approached the host stand and another group arrived after me. The host acknowledged them first, but they told him that I was there first. I was then seated and provided the regular menu. The waitress approached me and I asked if I could do restaurant week. She seemed confused and looked around but ultimately said that I could order from the restaurant week menu. For the tacos, you can't mix and match, you can only order one type, which is fine. I also ordered the limonada which was the perfect blend of sweet and tart. The guacamole arrived very quickly, served with warm tortillas. The guacamole was very fresh. The carne asada tacos arrived next. They were served on homemade tortillas and topped with onions and cilantro. I was also offered sauces to top them with. The meat was cooked well, but a little salty for my taste. The tres leches cake itself was good, but the icing on top had a sour/spoiled taste. I was not able to finish it. Overall I think this was an okay experience, but I've enjoyed my prior experiences here more than this one. Pro tip: save some of your guac appetizer to top on your entree! read more

I went to Mezquite explicitly to try out the mezcal flight - but I left being surprisingly pleased with the food as well! Touting small plated Sonoran region flavors, Mezquite is the kind of place you come ready to share. With a bounty of smaller plates and selection of mains, there is something for everyone! My party of two went the small plate route and I am so glad we did so that we could try a large variety of dishes - all of which knocked it out of the park! Some highlights included the aguachile (flawless acidity and just the right kick of spice) and the tuna tostada which had a flavor we hadn't experienced before and couldn't quite put our finger on. It may not seem to fit the vibe, but I beg of you, make sure you put some of the provided honey butter on one of those tortillas. You will not be disappointed! As for drinks we went with: 1. La Batanga - purely for the unusual pairing of tequila with coca-cola and the fact it noted it came garnished with "knife" (which...body did it!) This one definitely requires and adventurous palate 2. Midnight in Mexico - 10/10 for me! 3. The coveted mezcal flight - while off putting to others, I was pleased to find that the smoky almost shoe polish like quality of each mezcal only got stronger with each additional sip. I would love to come back to try different food...but I am getting that same flight! Per any Pearl excursion, parking has a fee, but Mezquite does share the separate Pullman Lot and you can have your parking validated from the restaurant so keep that in mind if you don't plan to linger. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the ambiance is just a tad off. The restaurant isn't a standalone, and instead is located in the back of the market with not really so much as a waist height wall so that kind of throws off the vibe of it/tends to be a bit loud if that is important to you. But that had no influence on how delicious the food turned out! Overall, I see myself returning. read more

We dropped in on Saturday night bringing along two friends that came in for a visit. The was no wait at the bar or restaurant, but we opted to sit in the bar area. This was a little confusing. There are QR codes on the table and so we clicked and checked out the menu and then we sat and waited and waited. Although the QR code menu makes you select as of you will order from the app, we saw a server, but they didn't come to our table. So we went to ask the hostess. Apparently, you can order with the QR code, or from a server that is in the area. Shortly after adding an order to the app, the server came around and asked for our order and brought water. She was very nice, but I think she was the only one regarding to the bar and so she was spread thin. We didn't get water from her again. Drinks initially came out fast, but not exactly for the second round. The food came out pretty quickly. As far as the ambiance, we love Pullman Market and come often, but this was our first time having food at Mezquite. The bar area was super loud and noisy. At some point, a DJ set up and was giving club vibes. Definitely interesting, but difficult to talk with old friends. As far as the food was concerned, we ordered guacamole, potato flautas, chicken flautas, and carne asada tacos. The guacamole and chips were incredible. The chips are addictive- crispy with the perfect amount of salt that keeps you coming back. The guacamole was fresh and full of flavor. The flautas were perfectly crispy and topped with cabbage, pickled onions, cilantro, and salsa. Unfortunately, the potato seriously lacked seasoning and the salsa and vegetables didn't mask that at all. The chicken flautas were delicious and flavorful. No complaints about the tacos. The drinks are always on point. That NA pomegranate margarita was not only gorgeous, but perfectly refreshing. I would come back, but probably need to pack my own water and maybe sit in the dining room. read more

This is so hard. We were really looking forward to this meal. Michelin rated and positive word of mouth. The food truly was outstanding. Pollo, pescado, arroz, even the ceviche was awesome. What hampered the taste experience was the incredibly poor service and the unapologetic way it was corrected. Even the server prefaced the order in which food would be served, but failed to do so even when "cued". How can one truly savor the main plates when fresh tortillas haven't been served, which were supposed come before the main dishes. It took us talking to three different people before getting fresh tortillas. By the time we received them, we were done with the main dishes. For this chica ... it IS a big deal. The service, or lack thereof, hurt this rating. Mezquite .... If you want to show off, then service counts too. read more

Mezquite is a great spot at the Pullman Market building, and we came here to meet a friend for brunch. The Cafe Sonambulo is a tasty brunch cocktail, and all three of us at the table ordered the Barbacoa brunch bowl with an egg on top. It was quite delicious, however we were almost halfway through eating when we realized they forgot to serve us the tortillas that were supposed to go with it. For a restaurant of this caliber this was a big miss. Add the fact that our water glasses sat empty for while until we brought it to their attention, let's just say the service was not top notch today. That being said I'd come back again for take 2 because the food, drink and atmosphere were worth it. read more

Excellent pan-Mexican restaurant in a large, high-ceilinged space inside Pullman Market. This was our first visit, so we ordered the "Norteño" tasting menu and were pleased with the selections of the day. Aguachile verde, excellent. A soupy broccoli dish, not so much but worth trying to know what not to order next time. Carne asada platito, excellent and I'd order that on its own. The main "asado" of the day was a pork loin chop, seasoned and done exactly right (not overcooked as too many other places would serve it). Side tortillas would be hard to beat anywhere. Service was on the leisurely side, including time between courses. This will please some, but we'd have preferred a little better timing. Mezquite isn't likely to replace Los Azulejos as our go-to fancy-Mex spot, but we'll be back from time to time. read more

Been here twice and had to different experiences. In both instances, the food was great. The atmosphere was nice and quite loud. During dinner, a guitar team was throwing down some great tunes, but I could hardly hear anyone talking around our table. Be warned, if you sit at a circular table (vs rectangular), you will barely hear anyone talking across from you because the restaurant is situated in an old warehouse without much to absorb everyone talking over each other. I say all this because as much as I enjoyed the food, the place is just too busy and loud to really enjoy a 6-person dinner with company that wants to catch up or talk. The waitstaff is prompt and works well as a team. In my first visit, the waiter was very nice and explained the history of the establishment and where the food derives from in Mexico. In my second visit, I felt like the server just wanted to turn another table and not really explain the wonderful menu to us. Like I said, two different experiences. I'm glad I went there, but I don't see myself going back again. I do recommend trying it out at least once. It's got a lively atmosphere if that is what you are looking for. read more

We came during Restaurant Week it was self-seat. Our server was attentive to us as soon as we were seated (although never introduced himself) can't give him credit by name. It was not busy so no wait on our drinks or food. The service was fast but again it wasn't so crowded. The atmosphere was ok. They have different seat if you prefer a wood chair or booth type of chair against the wall. They have a small waiting area as I was told they took down a wall to expand. The music nice good genre, but a little loud in volumes. Although there was a lot of noise from employees moving plants through a huge door that's in the dining area. The food came out promptly and temperature was perfect. The flavor in the guacamole was delicious, the Barbacoa tacos delicious too and the Tres Leches dessert Cold and delicious as well! The prices were average between $14-$18. Not a lot of options for food but if you'd like a good taco in a nice setting this would be perfect. One side of the bar has no chairs so assuming for service waiters only which is nice. Natural lighting from the outside and the decor is gives a nice greenery setting. Overall I would come back for a social lunch date! read more

Gorgeous space inside Pullman Market! Love the decor and the huge tropical plants in this restaurant. Beautiful, large bar in the front of the restaurant. Good drinks!! like other reviews said, maybe there's a little wait for them when they're busy, but you can wait/hang out and even be served in their lounge area (They have full service in the lounge and super comfortable chairs!). Food comes out very quickly from their kitchen. It's pretty hard to get a table during the weekend nights at 7 pm, but we've noticed on Friday and Saturdays at 5:30/6 there is space in the lounge area or you can make a reservation if you want a table. We liked their nachos, guacamole, carne asada tacos (3 street taco sized tacos per order), margaritas and side of ranch beans. I saw some reviews saying the prices were too high, but the food is really amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend if you're a bit hungry/thirsty before or after Pullman market.

Restaurant is located in the Pearl. Im guessing that due to the location, the prices are a bit hight for the quantity you get... to include the drinks. The food had a good taste, but they must work on the portion. The environment was nice. Restaurant is located inside the Market which was convenient. The service was HORRIBLE! The server took forever for everything; napkins, drinks, food, etc. Our food was delivered all in different times, so if you wait for everyone's food to come out; your plate will get cold. read more

Beautiful new sit down restaurant inside of the Pullman Market space. We came for a weekday lunch and were quickly greeted and seated. Our server suggested some favorites and we ended up with barbacoa tacos (she said it's some of the best barbacoa in SA!), a carne asada carmela, and a side of charro beans. The chips and salsa to start were great! The chips were a little greasy, but so crisp and well seasoned. Food was awesome. Meats were tender and really flavorful. The guac on top of the tacos added a refreshing balance to the richness of the barbacoa. And it was nice that the carmela came with a side of pickled? Sauteed? Onions to cut through all the cheese. However it was the freshly made Sonoran tortillas that really set everything apart. The charro beans were a good side, the beans weren't cooked to mush and had a nice bite. We'll probably be back!

OVERVIEW: 3.5/5 but not good enough to round up. Food was flavorful and well done, though pricy for the portion and designed more like snacks vs. a full meal. Service was terrible, though I am trying to chalk it up to it being the busy holiday season. As a former service industry worker, I'm very understanding of circumstances, but waiting 20 mins. for our server to even greet the table and another 30+ mins. to get checked out once others cleared the table is a bit absurd. We ended up asking a food runner to get our checks for us, and he was very kind and helpful. Our server never once came back to our table. Overall, I don't think it's worth revisiting when there are other places in the Pullman Market and Pearl that offer better value experiences. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, they validate up to 2 hrs. in the Newell parking lot behind the Pullman Market closest to the restaurant. Other street/paid parking available around the Pearl. - Reservations? Recommended but not required! FOOD RATINGS: - [Complimentary] Chips and salsa (3/5): Chips were yummy but a little greasy. Salsas were simple and boring. A little heat but nothing unique or worth drowning your chips in. - Tuna Aguachile (4/5): This was really tasty, but the sauce was too salty. I love salt but it was a bit much. Fresh fish and great flavor profiles otherwise. - Carne asada quesadilla (4/5): Meat was marinated so well and so tender and flavorful. A bit greasy but overall yummy and the caramelized onions on the side were good but cold. - Potato flautas (3/5): Decent flautas, though toward the end they started tasting too salty. - Tuna tostada (4/5): Really tasty tuna! A little difficult to eat but really great and loaded generously with tuna. read more
