I wouldâve given this place 5 stars had the service been a little better. I sat at the bar on weekend night while visiting my daughter in San Antonio. The bartenders (2of them) were clearly very friendly with the locals who were there, but it was all I could do to get a glass or water (which I never got). I ate dinner at the bar. The shrimp stuffed Chile Relleno was delicious and the rice and salad that came on the plate were equally as good. The tableside guac was also delicious. I ordered takeout for my daughter and her friend - both got enchiladas - which were equally as good as my meal. The girl who dealt with my takeout order was very friendly and pleasant. I would definitely return again for the food, and hope that the next time the service is a little better.

This was the best BBQ ever. We had brisket, baby back ribs and smoked sausage. All were tender, delicious and loved the dry rub on brisket and ribs. Their creamed corn was to die for. Coleslaw was just perfect as was the potato salad. We also tried a piece of smoked turkey and weâll be back for that next.

Had the breakfast buffet my first morning at the hotel. Much better than I expected for a hotel buffet, more like a higher-end all-inclusive resort buffet breakfast. For dinner the following night I had the bacon wrapped bison meatloaf and a side of the cheese grits. Both were very tasty, and the serving size was enormous. Also managed to find a bartender capable of making a gin fizz. Score all the way around!!!

Good Food. About ten of us enjoyed a nice dinner, ordering a large cross section of menu items. Tasty enchiladas, quesadillas, nachos, tacos, Carne guisada, and lots of margaritas! Friendly service and reasonable prices. Very good and close to downtown, King William district, but not too 'touristy" like mediocre Food on Riverwalk. Very comfortable and relaxed.

We brought our friends from Romania here for a classic San Antonio experience. The wait was long as expected since we had a larger party, but the inside decor met expectations. The food is reasonably priced and authentic, but donât expect gourmet eclectic. You are there for the atmosphere.

I couldnât imagine a visit to San Antonio without a stop to eat lunch or dinner at Rudyâs.Not only is it fantastic, especially their delicious cream corn and peach cobbler, but it is certainly affordable as well.And I greatly appreciate the fact that they recognize & honor our Military Personnel, both active & Veterans, with a discount for their honored service to our Country.And it makes for a great getaway for a break from SeaWorld due to its convenient location!!!

Visited here with my partner as we wanted a to try tex mex and were recommended La Fonda. Honestly we were both very underwhelmed, it was pretty average food with mediocre service. We had booked a table so were shown straight there and given menus, the wait staff were quite busy but we had to wait quite a while for water and to order some drinks. The server was nice and did give some recommendations of what to have, I had ceviche for starter. It was nice but quite bland really, Iâve had way nicer from other restaurants in SA. For main I had the La Fonda special, I wanted to try a mix of flavours and items. Again it was just a bit average, tasty to a point but nothing really special about it. No spiciness or specific flavours that stood out for me. It wasnât bad but just meh. My partner was also left without a fork for 10 mins when his main was delivered, so we had to wait for that before we could start, then the server also forgot his second beer. Not altogether the experience I was expecting! I know itâs not fine dining, itâs family style eating in a casual restaurant. The atmosphere was really nice, but for me it was the flavours and service that disappointed, they just werenât up to much.

We walked from The Alamo to Peteâs for the puffy tacos....and the entire meal was well worth the walk in the feels like 105 heat!!! We started with the queso which was sooooo good!!! It had guacamole, onions and tomatoes in it and the chips were fresh and homemade. We then had chicken and beef puffy tacos with regrows beans and rice....DELISH!!!! We also had a chili relleno which was out of this world good!!! Our service was excellent as our drinks were constantly replenished (which we needed the H2O after walking in that heat!!!) and chips were refilled. It was a great experience and we will be back when we are in the area again!!!

We visited this restaurant for breakfast. When we arrived, we were greeted and immediately they sat us down, even though the restaurant was busy. My wife and I ordered the Machacado and it was delicious. Our children ordered the enchiladas and the barbacoa tacos and they loved the taste. Our waitress was courteous and took care of us, our coffee cups were never empty. Once we placed our order, the food came within 10 minutes. We thought it was gonna be longer since the restaurant was full, but that was not the case. I recommend this place to everyone visiting the River walk.
