Chili's Grill & Bar

Reviewed By mrmac44

My wife and I have visited this Chili's before. My wife comes here often with girl friends, sister, and such.As always I am pleased with the food selection, price, and service. This recent trip our server was Brandi(y?) who was very friendly, helpful, courteous, and efficient.My wife had the salmon plate, and I had the 6 oz ancho sirloin over a bed of grilled asparagus. It was delicious.Just more reason to return later.

This restaurant (now named La Pasadita Mexican Restaurant) was the best I ate at while on a short trip to the base. Delicious and moderately priced, the owner was friendly and I got my to-go order quickly! Try the Chicken Enchiladas (served with fresh tortillas!)-you won't be disappointed!

Garcia's Mexican Restaurant

Reviewed By Liege-Bastogne-Liege

I liked the place, partly because it was picked specially for me by my hosts as I was visiting Schertz for a couple of days.Mexican food isn't a big thing where I come from, so they wanted to treat me, which I appreciated hugely.They are Schertz born and bred so knew what they were doing.But despite their wonderful kindness, a lovely welcome and the good service, I thought it was a very average lunch.The portions were small and the food just wasn't interesting at all. The most memorable Mexican meal I ever had was at a place called Pepper's in Pacific Grove, just along the coast from Monterrey in CA. It was a knockout - see the reviews on TA - and maybe it was foolish to expect the same from here.Thing is, my hosts loved it, it was very busy with what appeared to be regular customers who seemed very happy, so I guess I missed the point or ordered something that wasn't a speciality.If I go back to Schertz - I do love the town - I'll give Garcia's a call, just to be sure!

Nicha's Comida Mexicana Live Oak

Reviewed By ArtO710

We tried Nicha’s weekend breakfast buffet for the first time. While the selection was not huge, it was very, very good! Their enchiladas were tasty, the rice & beans had awesome flavor, and their menudo excellent! They had more but we decided to save that for next weekend. It is a very good deal for $10.99. The staff was very friendly too!Thank you for joining us for our buffet! Our team is looking forward to having you back on the weekend.

Chuy's

Reviewed By RamdasP

Unsurprisingly the San Antonio area is dotted with Tex-Mex restaurants and we ended up visiting Chuis in Selma. The menu had s good variety and I had the stuffed avocado tacos platter which was very good. Others too found their dishes viz. the veggie combo, the taquitos & veggie enchiladas satisfying. Would recommend.

LA Fiesta Patio Cafe

Reviewed By Michael E

This restaurant continues to provide customers with high quality Mexican food at a very reasonable price. The wait service is excellent and courteous all the time. The selection is quite extensive, and every item I have ever ordered has been delicious, fresh, and hot when served. This is a great place for an individual, a couple or families. The enchiladas are especially wonderful and authentic.
