    Tulum roll (top), Volcano Roll (bottom)
    Kassandra C.

    The place is small but the service is great, very attentive. We love this place because it is Mexican and Japanese. So this place doesn't lack flavor. We got the jalapeño TNT ( not pictured) and it was the right level spice, delicious! The volcano was super creamy and delish and the Tulum was very fresh!

    If you are looking for fresh, unique sushi rolls, this is the spot. A little small but mighty spot. I was craving some sushi and they definitely hit the spot!

    Tried the Puerto Vallarta roll on their new Summer menu and it was delicious. The server was so sweet and energetic. Service was fast and the place is cute inside.

    Dragon Roll and Spring Roll
    Sam S.

    Serving "JapaMex" fusion, this cute standalone building is serving up some tasty creations. Stopped in for lunch and our server was attentive and very nice (wish I remembered his name)! We ordered the Dragon Roll and the Spring Roll - both were good. For what it's worth, a lot of the sushi rolls on the menu have cream cheese in them. They have a drive thru, but if you sit inside, first thing you'll see when you walk in is the chefs preparing food. Colorful art is everywhere. The restaurant's yellow color theme runs throughout the building and makes it a cheery place to grab some food.

    infierno roll, rainbow roll
    Martha M.

    I ordered through DoorDash and I've never been there so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. I ordered a rainbow roll and the infierno roll. Both were delicious but the infierno roll is absolutely amazing. The picante scallops give it a unique touch and I don't think I've ever had a roll like that before. Everything was fresh and delicious and I'm excited about trying more items!

    Frushi on the bottom, summer on the top.

    Now upon arrival I was a bit taken back to see the drive though but that didn't discourage us from enjoying some very fresh sushi. It wasn't a large restaurant but they had plenty of seats. The service was sub-par but they were busy with plenty of customers and take out. The fish was fresh. Super tasty and didn't smell like fish at all. They have a huge menu so we explored. Had the frushi roll and the summer roll. The plantain on the summer roll was a pleasant surprise! But the frushi is my new favorite. Can't wait to come back!

    SPECIAL TRAY
    Valerie S.

    My favorite sushi spot. Point blank period! They are always very fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is cute n tiny great for intimate dining. Ive been getting the special trays more often since it comes with 5 different rolls and two appetizers. So good!

    One of the points of contention in communities is authenticity, a superfluous word if there ever was one, where people make efforts to rate a place based on preconceived notions and expectations. Yellowfish Sushi, with a location close to Wurzbach & I-10 and it's second location at Blanco @ Loop 410, has changed the concept of sushi in San Antonio from a traditionally gated and pricey dinner option to a casual affair meant for sharing and with little to no fuss. The first and smaller Wurzbach storefront, located near the Medical Center, started it all. Brenda & Alex Sarmiento, the talent behind the popular El Señor Es Mi Pastor Taco (which opened after Yellowfispot just down the street), wanted to find the same sushi environment to San Antonio from their hometown of CDMX, where sushi is a much more casual and less imposing scene. Where sushi has been seen in San Antonio as a "special" type of dinner usually reserved for date nights, graduations, or an exotic night out in the town, the Sarmiento siblings decided to bring the informal dining option, remove the prohibitive pricing, and create unique offerings fusing Mexican flavors and ingredients with Japanese led rolls. The rolls are authentic representations and an evolution of the rolls in the streets of CDMX, from the unique citrus based soy sauce freshly made every week to the Gansitos roll which combines a traditional with yes, a Gansitos roll, the ubiquitous pastelito treat you can find at any tiendita in Mexico and now in any Latino grocery store. I've had several rolls and offerings at both locations. Some of my faves: Tocino Roll - yes, the bacon tempura is dope but the thinly sliced lemon peel gives this roll an incredible kick that you'll remember. El Dorado Roll - the Tampico and Anguila sauce is a standout and the shrimp and cream cheese provide this roll with the base for that punch of a sauce. A great example of the fusion that is going on here at Yellowfish. Summer Roll - your classic prepared summer roll that is perfect for a lite bite of sushi offering; you can really taste the freshness and is a prefect take home meal to pair with a crisp cider. I really thought that through for some reason. Cevichimi - Sashimi style sushi in a more traditional ceviche style taste profile and serving, I really think this is a game changer even though once you try it it's pretty obvious how this concoction hasn't been made before. It's a wonderful combo of flavors that really pop. Salmon Japarrito - innovation doesn't mean everything always hits at 100. this "burrito" is a mouthful for sure and when you drench it in their homemade citrus based soy sauce it's a winner; I just wanted a bit more salmon but otherwise it's good. Yellowfish Roll - the namesake roll lives up to its bestowed honor with its flavored packed combo of picante shrimp, cilantro, habanero infused caviar, and their signature Salsa Roja, it's a great introduction to JapaMex cuisine here! Gansito Roll - the intro hits but the finale shuts it down... a Gansito is wrapped in rice and prepared with fresh strawberries and chocolate syrup. It's delicious and shows a more whimsical approach for desert. I'm not even a quarter of the way in trying the rolls but you can tell much of the menu has been carefully thought out and the pairings aren't gimmicks or creations for the sake of creation; instead, Yellowfish, in adopting two culturas to make a new one, and have created something amazing that frankly is a better experience than either cuisine on its own. Additionally, the reasonable pricing and causal environment is an exciting opportunity for San Antonio folks to approach sushi from a different perspective. I highly recommend you head out there and get some. Pro Tip: the Gansito Roll is (sometimes) not a menu item but can be made by request. I'm not sure how Brenda or Alex are gonna feel about me posting about it but hopefully they went to La Michocana and picked up a few boxes. Order it!

    The Isak Roll
    Claudia M.

    By the way, just stick to the Isak Roll. One of my favorites was also the Chio Roll. Idk what happened but the one I got today was not great, like, at all. The service was great though! The person assisting me is always nice. And once I got to the restaurant to pick up my order, the ambiance was great, like always. Also left smelling like sushi, like always, but it's part of the experience. One thing I forgot to mention is that they like to switch up the rolls included in your order, sometimes you'll get 10 slides of sushi, another times you'll get 6 slides. (Today I got 6, I hope you can appreciate that in the picture, I just ate 3 pieces, leaving the other 3 pieces out of the 6). Still love the restaurant and the employees. But I just probably will stick to the Isak roll from now on, it always states amazing, and I get the slides of sushi the price resembles.

    Sin Nombre Roll Pepino Roll chilerrito
    Alexis W.

    In the Rim. Loved the taste of plantains from the sin nombre roll and the fresh cucumber taste from the pepino roll. Almost all have some cream cheese in them, but blends well. The "kani" is imitation crab. Only bottled water available; ie you can't just get a water cup. Masks required for all. No military discount. Would come back to try others.

    All that was left.  I almost licked the plate.
    Wes H.

    San Antonio, DO NOT sleep on this place! I had no idea that a Japanese/Mexican fusion could be this amazing, but I am absolutely floored by how good this place is. The Yellowtail Sashimi was some of the freshest and tastiest we've ever had. The Poke Bowl was extremely delicious and beautifully presented. Lastly, the Jalasquillo Roll was, and this is not hyperbole, the single best sushi roll I've ever tried. 10/10. I wish I took pictures before I started, but please do not be fooled by the unassuming exterior of the restaurant, it is completely worth the trip.

    Eating at Mi Tierra is a family tradition for us…read more Lively decor up all year. Very large place with multiple seating options and spaces for reservations. Breakfast (my favorite) is served all day! They make their tortillas in house and you can choose flour, corn, or mix. They have bakery counter available for purchase, This trip I got a decaf coffee ($3.95) & Mi Tierra Especial ($11.95) You get Two Eggs [any style], Breakfast Potatoes. Refried Beans, Tortillas and your choice of Carne Guisada or Puerco en Chile Cascabel. I got the carne Guisada and it was very good. Easy parking in garage. Friendly service. Walk the public market before/after your meal. Music & special events at the market F-Sun.

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. 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.
