And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out!

A couple of old friends recommended Mi Tierra Cafe & Bakery when I was in downtown San Antonio last…read moreweekend. They were bragging about the nachos. 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.

The biggest issue which is concerning is all of the birds flying from table to table and through the outside area during breakfast/brunch time of day.

Leads to some concerns about the sanitation & cleanliness while birds are hanging out on half the empty tables and chairs. We could have moved inside and probably would if we visit again. The food was delicious and it is still a great place to try as long as your good with birds. My sister who joined us was a little leery of their presence the entire time.

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.

one of my favorite local places. a chill place to hang. they make all of their food from scratch which is really admirable in this day an age. hands down some of the best cookies ever- they're huge! if you're really lucky they'll let you have one that they just pulled out of the oven. they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and have some of the best fish tacos in town. their tacos are more traditional (grilled fish rather than fried) and you can get them either with onions and cilantro or with chipotle mayo and cabbage. I really dig their surfer fish tacos with grilled pineapple and avocado. their burgers are also great- you should def go with the La bomba burger if you want everything but the kitchen sink on it. overall this is a great place to take the family, listen to live music or get some work done. huge fan of getting a cup of their cinnamon coffee and getting some studying done. read more

Went for lunch today and the atmosphere was really chill. Music was a little loud however it wasn't a problem. Upon walking in the door, the young lady behind the counter with the red hair greeted us with a big smile and was very welcoming. We told her it was our first time and she went over the menu with us. The menu is big with many options to choose from, from burgers, pizza, tacos and more. However I asked the young lady what was her favorite item on the menu and she recommended the brisket nachos. These nachos did not disappoint and were fully loaded, they did not skimp on the toppings like many places. She did also give us a sample of the chocolate chip cookie and frozen margarita and let's just say we will definitely be back! read more

I love this place! Consistently good, simple, honest food. Best breakfast tacos in town. Great burgers. Milkshakes are amazing. Friendly staff that remembers you if you come in frequently. I've had business lunches here as well as family meals and a quick breakfast with my hubby. Again, very consistent in their food and staff. One time I encountered someone at the counter that wasn't very competent--but he was new. Everyone has to start, and he may have just been nervous.

Even with six "fillings" the burrito was easily manageable and not overly large. Had I gone with only three fillings, I'm afraid the burrito may have been mostly tortilla. I guess my bottom line is...at that price point and the price point for extras, that burrito should make you think there's no way you'll finish it ... Last "con": parking is tough. Small, cramped, tough to navigate if crowded. The pancakes were legit though. Large and fluffy; my daughter was a huge fan.
