San Antonio, TX
In a city filled with Mexican restaurants around every corner, it’s hard for one to stand out. This place is one of my favorite’s to go for a quick, cheap bite. The price’s are what they should be. I have to be honest, paying over $10 for enchilada’s, rice and beans is outrageous, I mean I know how much it cost’s to make rice and beans! They have good lunch specials, usually under six bucks, AND THAT’S WITH A DRINK. The service is always fast, and friendly too! On this particular night I walked in about thirty minuets before closing, Joseph felt under the weather and was in need of some good caldo. On a side note, everything I have had here is good, and it all taste’s like it’s made from my grandma’s kitchen. To start we ordered Queso Flameado. What was unique about this one is that they not only have the chorizo and onion’s on top, but also add green bell pepper. Unlike Joseph, I have a love of green bell pepper because it reminds me of my father’s cooking. They didn’t flame it, but I thought it was very tasty with the homemade tortillas. Our server was very nice and timed our meal very well. We both ordered the tortilla soup that came out as we were more then halfway through the appetizer. This tortilla soup is something special, and especially when we are under the weather, this soup is the “go-to” meal. To start with, the broth is made in house, and it’s very clean. When making tortilla soup, homemade broth take’s extra effort to constantly skim the fat to produce such a clean, aesthetically pleasing finish. It’s a very large bowl, for just $4.99 you get your money’s worth. The chicken is very tender, and all the vegetables are fresh and soft. Our server, Miguel was very attentive to our needs, even though it was near closing time. I have said before, service is a very large part of the over-all dining experience. It’s very important for a server to be polite, but also to know how to time your meal and to be attentive to your needs. It’s easy for service to slip as the closing hour near’s, however the service was so good, you would have thought that we were his first table of the day. Now...the question. Would I go back? This place is near my home and I have frequented this place many times, not only will I be back...but I would recommend it highly to others.
