Love this place! There's an abundance of seating, and the outside is gorgeous! The food is amazing and the service is always good as well. The prices aren't so bad for the amount of food you get.

Atmosphere is wonderful. Food small servings for the price and didn’t make me want to go back. Service wasn’t great either. Couldn’t really get refills.

Food is "eh" but the vibe is neat with the trees and river near. Great indoor/outdoor vibes. Margaritas are great but if you want good Mexican food there are much better options around.

The service, chips, salsa and margaritas are great. The pork street tacos were disgusting. They were swimming in grease and the meat resembled cat food. They comped my entree so I appreciated that very much.

This place has great atmosphere! I love the indoor/ outdoor patio built around big trees. It's walking distance from the river but also has parking and is wheelchair accessible. Their chips are excellent, puffy and crispy. The guacamole is incredibly creamy. The salsa and queso was the perfect amount of spicy. We loved the sizzling beef fajitas and quesadilla. This place has had been there for years. It's a nice spot to have lunch it dinner after a long day at the river.

Best frozen strawberry margarita I've had while visiting the San Antonio/Austin area! The Street tacos and the soft shelled shredded chicken (juicy) taco plates were delish!We ate a later lunch, so there weren't many people there, but service was great and the atmosphere in the enclosed deck was festive.
We've been here a few times before, but this was embarrassing. My wife ordered a 1/2 lb cheeseburger, and I ordered a 1/3 lb hamburger with extra lettuce, extra tomatoes, extra pickles, NO onions, and mustard. When we got our order, we saw that the burgers were the size of SLIDERS... hockey pucks as round as meatballs that poked through the top and bottom of the little bun. My hockey puck/ meatball looked like it had a bite out of it already. See photo.Three bites, and it was gone!We thought we got somebody else's order. With all the things I told the waiter I wanted on my burger, there was nothing at all but the very small bun and the hockey puck/meatball, naked. I mentioned this to the waiter, and he brought me a very small bowl of diced tomatoes and ONIONS, which I said I DIDN'T want. No lettuce, pickles, mustard in sight! Much less any extra of anything.My wife had the same hockey puck/meatball also, with no mayonnaise that she wanted, and it was supposed to be 1/2 lb.We do catering, and I would be EMBARRASED to serve this....And to have to order french fries separately. Don't they know that all other restaurants that charge a premium price for burgers include french fries?We invited some friends to also experience our find as a new to us good restaurant. They said the nachos they ordered weren't something to recommend to their friends either.Don't go to a restaurant and leave hungry!!!

My favorite spot to wine down. I am always happy that I get Jordan as my server. So attentive, always make us laughs, customer service is unmatched with the recommendations on drinks and food. Sometimes I feel like tipping him is never enough because he always goes above and beyond to ensure our table is ok even when the place is crazy busy. His short period of being onboard at this place he has made a huge impact on customers. Never a dull moment with the laughs. If you are ever in the mood for chips, chatter, and cheers (drinks) this is the cantina to stop by and request Jordan as your server, he's the very best!!!! Great addition to the staff.

I can't say much on the food because all I had was the flan and it was ok. This was a great place to stop and have a nice cold drink during the day. The atmosphere is great and if my party hadn't pland lunch somewhere else I would have loved to have ordered some food. Outdoor seating is shaded. The bathrooms were very clean. The drinks were reasonable.

You know, I really didn't expect this place to be any good. It seems like a very touristy spot but it was actually great! We got the queso with chorizo as an appetizer and it was delicious. Both mine and my husband's meal was great. It's a little bit on the pricey side but that is totally to be expected given the iconic location. The drinks were ridiculously strong! But I'm not complaining! They have a little bar outside where you can purchase something if you have to wait. They even have seats right next to it so who can resist? All the waitresses were really great that we've had when we go. There's only one waitress that, although very sweet, didn't know much about the menu. She said she hadn't eaten there. I asked her questions about the menu and she said she didn't know because she doesn't eat it. Well that's fine if you don't eat it, but I do feel you should have some type of knowledge of the menu. That was a little disappointing but it's okay because everything ended up being delicious

$$ Really cute restaurant. The margaritas were so good and strong lol. Chips & salsa were fresh. We had the street tacos they were okay. Service was just okay too. I felt like we were being rushed out. It wasn't busy but the young girl didn't seem to happy to be there.
Feels and looks like an authentic Mexican restaurant. Good food and service.
