Poor service! Ordered bean and cheese - taco came without beans but plenty of cheese - wait staff just sitting around- I went to kitchen to tell them to add beans! Almost finished my taco and finally waiter came to pour a second cup! This place is not what it use to be!!
Love the Sopas! – Mmmm. On a rainy day, I think El Mirador. The soups are the best comfort food ever!
Local favorite – Fresh ingredoients, creative menu, great
brunch barely average – We had teh omelet bar and there was absolutely nothing great about it. The potatoes on the omelet bar were good, though. The bread was a good change of pace but the server brought it out as were finishing our meal. She also didn't bother to refill tea or coffee. We asked another server.
Best meals I've had in San Antonio – I've read some of the older reviews and was shocked. I've been there twice in the last 2 months and found it to be the best meals that I had while in San Antonio. The service was great and the food was excellent. I was with a group both times and we had several items. Everyone loved it and I cannot think of a single negative. Even the manager was nice enough to call us cabs so that we could return to our hotels. I am anxiously looking forward to my next San Antonio trip just to visit this... read more
Horrible if the server is- Guillermina – The food is ok. But the service is not good. We had a server name Guillermina, she is simply horrible. She is very rude. Twice I had the experience. Messed up with our order but did n't bother to say sorry. Again messed up with the bill, over charger my friend >>>>>>>>> In a word if u sit outside make sure your server is not Guill... She will make ur lunch/dinner horrible.
Great Interior Mexican food – I can't see why others are so negative. Our dining experience was wonderful. I had the filet with a sherry poblano sauce that was terrific and Terry had a ancho stuffed chicken that he really liked. I didn't like the ancho mashers, but the Mexican rice and baracho beans were up to par. Margaritas were good too. All-in-all it was a good dining experience for someone (me) who is afraid to try things out of the ordinary (standard Tex-Mex). The service could have been a little better -- but we were ... read more
Please don't walk - run away from this place!! – I can honestly say this was the worst Mexican food I have ever eaten. Hands down. We decided we'd like to have one really good Mexican (or Tex-Mex) meal while on our weekend family getaway to San Antonio. We're from Austin and grew up on home-made Mexican as well as local Tex-Mex fare. I researched a couple of travel websites and decided that El Mirador appeared to fit the bill. We ordered bean and cheese tacos for the kids, chips and queso to share, Sopa de Lima (sounded inte... read more
Business response:
Sorry, you had the experience. It is my neighborhood restaurant. I eat there every week and have never had anything that remotely came close to that experience. the closest to a problem I ever had was the chip guy forgetting to bring the chips. this is not tex-mex food. it is real mexican food. maybe you don't like that taste.
The only good thing was the water – I went there with friends who recommended it. The decor was nice, but a little sparse. There were about 6 tables occupied and a bigger party in the back. There were a number of people that obviously work there running around like army ants. As if it were packed. It wasn't. It took our server about 15 minutes to approach our table and order our drinks. A few minutes later, our drinks arrive. Then she split so fast we were unable to order our food. So waited another 15 minutes. Again, the "w... read more
