The Staff could've been a little nicer, little things like Smile back. I didn't like we got appetizer and not 5 min our food so we didn't get to enjoy it. Small table they removed the decor and still not enough room for our table for 5.

Luciano was our waiter. Horrible service as I ordered a caldo tlapleno that is supposed to have diced chicken. I received the soup with no chicken and let him know. He then bring me a plate of shredded chicken for me to add it myself. You are charging the highest prices for a Mexican restaurant in town and have your waiters dressed like they are working a fine dining restaurant. Maybe give the service you should be giving? He later came by, never asked us if we wanted another drink, if the food was fine or anything like that...he just said "ticket?" And slammed it down on the table and put my beer bottle on top of it. That was not the same service I observed the other patrons receiving around me. Was it because we were the only ones who weren't white? Who knows? But I won't be returning here I recommend anyone reading this to go to Sabor Cocina. Much better food and amazing service.

I was here for lunch mid week. I have been here several times. The food is always very good and it was on this visit as well. I had the enchiladas mole which was on point. I really like their version of mole. Not to spicy or sweet. It comes with poblano corn rice. They also provide you chips and 2 different salsas. One is roasted and the other is very fresh tasting. Both are good and different. The restaurant is very neat with multiple seating areas both inside and out. I would say they are more of an upscale Mexican restaurant. My only complaint was on this visit my server was not very responsive. Once I received my meal the next time he stopped by I was 99% done with my meal and my drink had been empty for a while. It was not very busy at the time so that’s not an excuse. Usually, their service is very good. Perhaps just a bad day for the waiter. It won’t stop me from coming back. Great food, drinks, and atmosphere.

A neighborhood treasure that boasts magnific decor. We made reservations and arrived 30 minutes early, although the place was packed with people waiting on a table we were immediately seated. Our waitress was very personable and recommended the beef Fajitas which we ordered with the table side guacamole. All were of superior quality and served with the utmost professionalism. With the amount of food we ordered, the bill was quite reasonable. I look forward to dining here again.

I visited for the first time today at around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Beautiful ambiance with very enjoyable background music. Sadly, my first impression was not so pleasant due to the hostesses lack of hospitality. There were two girls at the front, and none of them seemed like they wanted to be there in the first place. They need to work on their customer engagement skills because they are literally the face of the restaurant. Our server was nice, a little all over the place, talking back to her coworkers while she was still serving us, but it is what it is. We're all human, that's understandable. Still, I left her a 20% tip. The food was OK, nothing extraordinary. I ordered a mojito, which tasted like coconut water, and the mint didn't look fresh at all. As a bartender, I recommend they put a little more effort into the details bc a drink as classic and easy as that isn't easy to mess up, yet it wasn't memorable at all. I'd say I'd maybe come back, but this is probably a one-time experience for me. I'd rather explore other restaurants than go back to a mid experience.

As usual, I am always on the lookout for a dining experience, not just something to eat. I researched high-end Mexican restaurants in San Antonio, and Google recommended Paloma Blanca. Its location seemed a bit odd. It was not in a high traffic consumer area. One had to intentionally drive there. You would not just happen on this place. My first impression was that parking was very limited for a Friday lunch crowd. The parking lot was small, full, and had angled parking spots, further complicating access. We were then greeted by a very un-asthecially pleasing building. Once inside, a very attentive greater told us to wait by the fire as they prepared a table for 2. The atmosphere was very comfortable with a modern yet rustic feel. After about 5 minutes, we were escorted up a small staircase into another section of the restaurant and you could see through the large windows that the restaurant was quite expensive stretching very far back with another upper section in the back. A huge patio area complete with outdoor heaters was well appointed with shrubbery. Our waiter, was fluent in both English and Spanish which would be expected in a high-end Mexican restaurant. Although, being bilingual myself, i do look forward to ordering in Spanish and surprising the staff as i look like a stereotypical güero. And, it adds to the whole authenticity feel of the experience. While nice,this place did not feel like a Mexican restaurant at all. The food tasted good but didn't feel like it was worth the exorbitant price. The tableware was clean and of good quality. I find that to be an often overlooked part of dining. If you put Filet Mingon on a Styrofoam plate, it won't feel like it is worth the 45 bucks.

A fumble this time. I saw the Culinaria special menu this week and decided to get Enchiladas Suizas today. They aren't on their regular menu. The guacamole salad and poblano cream soup were good. Both of us had the Suizas, and we thought maybe a joke had been played on us. What we were given was salsa verde chicken enchiladas, no suiza cream to be found, just a tomatillo type sauce, not creamy whatsoever, topped with very little white cheese. Having been a tourist guide in the Colonial area of Mexico, we've had many creamy and comforting plates of "Sanborn's enchiladas" over the years. That's what we were hoping for anyway.

Beautiful ambiance. Great service. Delicious food. Not much more you can ask for when traveling and hoping for a tasty bite. Came just before 4p on a Sunday and it was perfect! The chips were thicker than I usually care for but the crisp!! And they were perfect for the table side guacamole and queso. We shared beef fajitas & the traditional enchiladas (1 beef & 1 cheese) and also a quesadilla. It was a table full of delicious food! The appetizer quesadilla is just right for a small bite or even a picky eater and came with a side of guacamole. The table side guacamole in molcajete was so fresh & the lime and orange slices squeezed in made it pop! The beef fajitas were tender, full of flavor and served flamin' hot. Their salsas were extra fresh and the roasted salsa was bomb!! Thanks Derek for serving us the best meal yet since visiting San Antonio. So glad we stopped in!

04 Feb 2025 Stopped for lunch about noon. I was worried we wouldn't get in but no, we got a table just fine. Good thing though we arrived when we did, because then folks started pouring in. A couple of large parties in the back. Ruth was our server. Very congenial, efficient and just plain nice. I ordered the lunch enchiladas verdes and the husband ordered the carne Mexicana lunch special. Mine was great. The carne plate was supposed to have pico de gallo mixed in; Ruth had said it wasn't overly spicy, though. The husband detected no heat at all, but didn't want to make a big deal. He liked it anyway. The star is the made fresh daily chips. They are served with two salsas, one cooked and one not. Both tasty. The chips are fresh and crunchy, unlike the plain old Dorito-style heated up ones served by other restaurants. Go there.

I have been looking for Mexican restaurants here in San Antonio that I will love. My friend suggested Paloma Blanca multiple times and we finally went. I told her I am definitely adding them to my list of favorites! We went on a whim on a Friday evening for margaritas and nachos. We arrived right at dinner time so I fully expected a long wait. The restaurant is a good size with plenty of tables but we were still shocked when we were told the wait time was only 30 minutes. The hostess directed us to have a seat in their lobby/bar area. We ordered margaritas while we waited and I'm so glad we did! I am pretty picky when it comes to margaritas and will fully judge a restaurant by their Margarita. I had a frozen house margarita and it was DELICIOUS! I immediately knew I'd like this restaurant. Within about 20 minutes we were taken to our table where a server took our drink order right away then brought us chips and salsa. One of the salsas was very nostalgic for me because it looks and tastes like the salsa my dad used to make. I even got a little teary eyed eating it and thinking about my dad. We ordered the queso fundido as recommended by my friend. We chose to add shrimp. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with homemade flour and CORN tortillas. Freshly made corn tortillas are pretty irresistible to me. I would absolutely order this again! I had already seen a photo of the nachos on Yelp so I knew they were individually made. This is the only way I like to eat restaurant nachos so I was sold on that right away! My son ordered shrimp tacos and he said it was too much for him. He enjoyed them and took his extra taco home to eat later that night They have mole enchiladas on the menu. I will always order this if it's an option. The mole flavor was excellent. Not as sweet as I typically like but perfect nonetheless. The chicken was cooked to perfection! I'm already planning my next visit so I can try more menu items.

We got there right before happy hour ended and were able to get some drinks and some nachos. The margaritas were great but those nacHOS WERE SOMETHING ELSEEEEE. I like how they were each individually made and not just a pile of chips with cheese on them. Each chip has refried beans, white cheese, and a chipotle sauce. Ugh. *chefs kiss* *chefs kiss* *CHEFS KISS* I can't hype them up enough they were so good. The flautas de pollo were so great. They came topped with guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoes, and queso fresco. The chicken had a great flavor, the tortilla was nice and crisp, and the toppings just added to its greatness. The rice actually had a lot of flavor as well as the beans. This plate is just perfect.

I'm a fan of the ceviche. I highly recommend. Details below..? I have patronized many times and always get the ceviche, which is abundantly lime - flavored and excellent with the homemade tostada chips. Don't pass on a Paloma cocktail, which is the perfect companion to this appetizer. It's a popular restaurant, so its parking alongside can be tight and there could be a bit of a wait. But it's worth it. The weight staff are authentic service oriented people who want to take care of.

Their service is always top tier. Happy hour is amazing with 5 dollar margaritas (strong) and chips and dip or nachos.Their lunch special is a hit. We enjoy the chicken poblano almost every time. They will set reservations and in advance and even allow you to rent out the party rooms. Paloma Blanca is definitely a hidden gem.

Beautiful space with large wooden doors and rustic decor. Outside space is expansive and well covered. Typical Mexican cuisine that showcases simple dishes done exquisitely well. Top notch service and a premium bar make this an excellent place for a luncheon or family function.

Told about this place by a friend. Let me be a friend to you and do the same. You should try this place. Nicely decorated, mix of tables and booths. Service was prompt and friendly. Free chips and salsa were fine. Darker salsa had much better flavor and mild spice. Ordered chicken enchilada de mole. It come out mere minutes after placing the order strongly suggesting it was not made fresh to order, but the flavor from the mole was outstanding. Wonderful depth and complexity of flavor, mild heat to tingle the mouth, good amount of chicken in the enchilada and the rice was a great side dish to further aid in enjoying the mole. Good house made corn tortillas

We went on a Monday after the Witte Museum as it was a 6 minute drive. The parking lot was nice and exterior so lovely. If it weren't so hot I'd have loved to sit on that gorgeous patio! But the inside was just as nice and the hostess very accommodating to my requests for a windows seat. The inside is HUGE. There's so many rooms. We went at 4 30 and it was not very busy. Our server was very nice and got us drink refills, chip refills, anything we needed . Great service. Although it was happy hour and there were 5 dollar app options, we chose to stick with the chips and salsa as it was complimentary. Food came out hot, delicious and fast. Beef fajitas were tender but shrimp fajitas and vegetables could have been grilled more. The sides were well seasoned. I got corn poblano white rice and refried beans but you can sub for veggies ! Homemade corn or flour tortillas available. My dad got the chilled relleno and it was so flavorful. If you go here, stick with the crema options as this is the flavor power house. For the elevated ambience and downtown location, I'd think this place would be pricier. We didn't get any specials- all ordered what we wanted, but it was a very affordable meal. A pleasant surprise for sure was the price element. Tip: Make a reservation online (they use OpenTable) and sign up on their site beforehand for "special offers," which gave me 10 dollars off my order. Thank you for the great experience well go again!

We decided to have an impromptu lunch date and this place did not disappoint! The restaurant is beautiful and in a great location. From the moment we stepped in the service was excellent to the moment we left. They give you free chips and salsa and honestly that was enough for an appetizer for us because otherwise we would not have been able to eat our full meal. The enchiladas verdes tasted amazing and my husband really liked his enchiladas divorciadas. Sometimes you go to a Mexican restaurant and you end up with Tex-Mex; not this time. The authentic flavors were bursting at this gem. Definitely my new favorite Mexican restaurant and we look forward to returning soon.

Love this place. The food is wonderful. The patio area is remarkable. It is a close to a trip to Mexico as I can get this side of the border. It is incredibly quiet and peaceful. We actually drove from 2 hours away to go last weekend. The rest of the trip was just an excuse to justify the trip!

Fantastic ceviche!!! Outstanding margaritas. Great food, service and ambiance. One of our favorite places to eat when in San Antonio.

About as good as you can get authentic Mexican food with fabulous atmosphere and service. The ceviche is one of the best I've ever had and the Chile rellenos were just right. And the fajita platter is a nice sized dish as well, big enough for two really. This really is a wonderful place for a date night because of its intimacy and home like feel. I almost felt like I was in some wealthy person's house. It did not feel like your average restaurant.

First time stopping by Paloma and felt it was pretty delicious and good quality. I ordered the Chicken Fajitas and it had a good flavor with the grilled onions. Chicken was a little dry, but the guacamole helped. The Spanish rice was okay, kinda mild in flavor but I'm glad it wasn't salty. The beans came out lukewarm which made it less enjoyable. I'm used to Mexican restaurants serving beans piping hot! My partner ordered the Shrimp Chile Relleno and it was delicious! The cheese and pepper complimented the shrimp really well. It was a little spicy, but still easy enough to eat. The accompanying salad was okay. Lettuce wasn't that fresh and we don't love raw red onions. The free chips and salsa is pretty good here. Chips are very fresh and crispy. The smoky, chipotle salsa was our favorite. We came at the end of lunch (3pm) and it was very busy and loud in the dining room, but it got quieter after a little while. The room layout feels packed and the tables are very close together. Our server was very professional and food came out quickly. Definitely would come back to try other menu items.

We decided to give this place a try only because the ratings went from 3 to 3.8 on Yelp. I didn't have high expectations since previous friends have said their favorite was just the drinks. The service was GREAT! I can't take that away from them. The ambiance was great! I love the vibes here. Even though we went on a Thursday it was quite busy. But they sat the four of us down pretty quickly. The food did take a bit too long to be ready but at least they provide the chips and salsa which to me is always a plus. The food was delicious once it came out. My husband's plate was super hot for some weird reason. They did warn us but why was it so hot? It didn't make sense. He did burn himself but he didn't want to say anything. My biggest complaint was the churros. They were super HARD! You know when you have fresh bread but then you put it in the fridge and later reheat it and it comes out all hard. That's how the churros were. Our little one usually likes them but refused to eat them. It came with abuelita hot chocolate and that was good. But I'll never order this again. Overall it wasn't spectacular overall but average when I balance everything out. We may return just not anytime soon.

Really really good food. Everything I had was to die for, though I do like when my fire roasted salsa is served warm... the blended margaritas go down way too easy. I loved the cost setting but for a table of seven we weren't given enough space. My biggest gripe was the so-so service. Our waiter was nice enough but I definitely have been served faster.

Came here on a weekday lunch and enjoyed the enchiladas mole special. The food tastes good and fresh. The salsa and chips were also good and they provide a roasted and fresh version. Chips were average and a little on the thicker side. The mole didn't have as deep of a flavor as I would like, but it was okay. The onion on top was bitter so I didn't finish it. The charro beans were also tasty and flavorful. It was a good portion size and more food than I needed. The atmosphere is fun and the inside like a patio. There's also outdoor seating. The guacamole was fresh and good -- not a lot of taste but they do add orange and lemon juice. Perhaps I'm used to something with more spice and flavor. Service was good and chips and salsa came out often and the waiter was friendly and came often. I would probably take out of town guests here.

This is restaurant has a beautiful outside seating area, with fire pit; delicious food and attentive service. We enjoyed the fresh made guacamole , sizzling steaks, tasty shrimp , chicken, tacos and various drinks we ordered. Price is reasonable. Inside is fairly quiet. We enjoyed our visit very much.

The Paloma cocktail was very refreshing and had the perfect amount of tartness. The entrees of enchiladas de mole and Pollo En Crema Poblana were very delicious and very well executed. They Guacamole Olmeca was prepared table side and was rich and spicy.

I visited Paloma Blanca for lunch this past Friday. I don't leave reviews very often, but I felt the need to write this one because my experience from start to finish was amazing. I visited during the lunch hour, but I was seated very quickly by the host. The server, Nidia, and the man serving the tortilla chips were at the table within seconds of being seated. I ordered the beef enchilada plate with borracho beans; both were delicious. The service was spot on as well. If you're looking for a nice overall experience and love good Mexican food, give them a try. You won't be dissatisfied.

I don't see the hype here. I get that it's a beautiful Restaurant with a great patio and exceptional service, but the food is just okay. It's like a upscale Mexican Applebees. I wouldn't even doubt if the head chef had a name like Chad, or Jason. Even the salsa isn't very tasty. For the price of an entree you can get a plethora of tacos from a legit Mexican dive right down the street. But hey, if you're with a group who's too scared to go to a local place because of the neighborhood, then this is your spot.

Not a great experience. The Chips n salsa was good. The table-side guacamole was delicious. The Michelada was weak in flavor and disappointing. The music and noise was so loud, the waitress got my order wrong. Why she stood at the far end of the table beats me. She should get closer to customers, especially at longer tables. I ordered the Chile Relleno De Camaron which is a Poblano pepper filled with a blend of fresh grilled shrimp, chopped tomatoes, onions, golden corn and queso Monterrey, then topped with sour cream and baked. Served with poblano corn white rice and Ensalada Esmeralda. I ended up with shrimp tacos. I was so disappointed I didn't even take a picture. They were alright at best. Very disappointing dinner.

Nice atmosphere and good food made for a positive experience. We were a party of four and were immediately seated upon entry. The chips and guac & queso appetizer lacked a little flavor. The Happy Hour margarita was excellent! And, it was only $5.00. The sauce and veggies on my entree were outstanding however, next time, I'll sub the rice for another side. It wasn't my favorite. One star was subtracted because service was slow even though the restaurant wasn't very busy.

Paloma Blanca is one of our must visit places when we're visiting San Antonio. The food is incredibly delicious - I was too hungry to take a picture of the table-side guac but you have to get it! - and their tacos al pastor are my favorite. Service was quick, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is elegant yet comfortable. I will say that I think the pozole has changed since we were last here. It used to be a favorite, but it was smaller and less flavorful than we remember. Still a fantastic option for Mexican cuisine!

The margaritas are great, and staff is typically pretty friendly and on point. And the queso is a solid 8/10... not bad, not bad at all. We're not winning any michelin stars here, but it gets the job done in the name of queso. But it could also be the margarita... all in all, great place, nice outdoor patio, great enchiladas.

What a beautiful little restaurant. The outdoor patio area was beautifully landscaped and had some nice partially shaded spots making it a great spot to dine and relax while enjoying the outdoors. The food was also very good but the service threw things off a little as our server was extremely slow. We had to keep looking for him to order, to get more drinks, to get the check etc. If not for that, it would've been perfect!

Atmosphere and ceviche was bomb. Birds were kind of annoying at terrace, but it's nothing to do with their business. I had a great dining experience two days in a row while visiting San Antonio for the first time. Thank you for your hospitality.

Paloma Blanca is one of those places that has consistently great service and food that's fresh and tasty. We've been going for years now and it's never disappointed. Our go-to is the chicken fajitas for two and we usually start with the queso. Don't sleep on the tacos al pastor either. They're listed as an appetizer but I've ordered them as an entree because they are that good. The pork is well seasoned and there's a bit of pineapple served with a salsa that's hot hot hot. How I like it. The margaritas deserve their own review. Just go have one. They're legendary. They really came in handy during the peak of Covid when we would get margaritas and fajitas to go every Friday. Not a bad memory from the pandemic! The servers are always friendly and a lot of them have been there for years. Says a lot about the loyalty and how the restaurant treats their staff. The restaurant is usually bustling with noise and chatter but it doesn't bother me. Its lively, warm, and filled with friendly vibes. Don't try to go without a reservation during peak dinner time on the weekend. You'll have a decent wait.

3.3 STARS. We ordered the chicken and shrimp fajitas. Chicken was dry and had zero flavor. So sad. The shrimp was small and straight out of a bag. Being in a luxury area of San Antonio and at $99 for two I'd say this place needs to revisit it's business mission. The flour tortillas are not made fresh which is also unacceptable for San Antonio higher end Mexican dining. I'm glad we didn't bring out of town guests. This won't be a place I'll ever brag about. This is the third time I've eaten here and my suggestion is to visit Soluna instead when on this side of town. Queso dries up quick. 09 Margaritas where decent. The first batch was perfect. The second order was not the same quality. So many people recommend this place. Overall San Antonio needs to step up their Mexican cuisine. This is not higher level.

Our group arrived early to place a name down for outdoor. That person was told no wait. The rest of the group arrived about 5 minutes later. We informed them we were ready, and we were told it was a 40-45 minute wait. We waited around that amount of time and still weren't seated. We ended up leaving up and eating down the road. Moose Out

Get the Chamorita. Seriously so tasty and so strong! Table side gauc was decent but not really impressive so I'd give this place a 4.5 if I could. The regular salsa was also just okay but the fire roasted salsa was delicious! The flautas and pastor tacos were delicious. My husband ate every bit of his Chile releno with carne so he must have thoroughly enjoyed it.

It's been a hot minute since I've been back here & I was not disappointed at all. The food quality and service are still great. We dined on the patio on a Tuesday around lunch time. It was definitely busy but not too noisy. Our server Ruth was amazing! I'm pretty sure she waited on our table the last time, but she is on top of drinks and chip refills. 3 of us ladies split the mixed 1lb fajita plate & it was just the perfect amount. Everything was delicious.

Due to circumstances ate here, twice in one week. Once during the week around 7 pm & the other Friday during lunch. Let me tell you what a difference in the quality of the food served. Will say both servers were great, professional & ensured our drinks were filled. But that's about as consistent as it gets. However I think the quality of the food,l think was impacted by the lunch hour rush during restaurant week. The atmosphere laid back, classy yet not over the top. You get relax vibe here. People laughing & conversing. First visit was able to get a Chamoy margarita on the rocks with the Candy stick & oh so scrumptious. Started off with chips and salsa crisp & fresh. Had the enchiladas traditionales which are my favorite, right amount of cheese, perfect refried beans & rice. That meal on that evening was perfection. My out of town guest had no complaints & thoroughly enjoyed his meal of enchilada divorciadas 3 days later, Friday lunch with larger group most of which decided to go with the Restaurant Week option. I decided to stick with what I has previously ordered. Traditional enchiladas which were consistent, same amount of cheese & same perfect meat sauce. Now my colleagues who ordered the chicken enchiladas were terribly disappointed. The tortilla in the chicken enchiladas like broke once was cut into. Normally a proper cooked enchilada does not break like that. Which if I didn't know. Would say that these chicken enchiladas were not freshly made. Oh and as for the repeat order of Chamoy margarita, well the drink on Friday was no where near the taste of the one ordered during the week. Consistency. Flavor, as well as how the Tajin rim was not the same, & not to mention ran out of Chamoy candy stick. Hmm restaurant week, disappointing. Restaurant is a hit or a miss.

My friend and I went to Paloma Blanca during the Culinaria Restaurant week! We chose two of the same from their $20 lunch menu: ceviche del mar, pollo en salsa verde and pastel de tres leches. The ceviche was fresh and delicious, while the pollo en salsa verde was a little too sour for our taste - nonetheless the chicken was well cooked and tender. The star of the meal was the tres leches - light yet dreamily good. We also got the Mango Chamorita and The VIP as our drinks!

If you're looking for a nice ambiance, this is your place. If you're looking for good food and drinks, this is not your place.

I was visiting San Antonio and had just had a glorious breakfast of barbacoa, refrito, corn tortillas, and huveos ranchera for $10 at a little diner. Paloma Blanca is one of my friends favourite places, so we went for lunch. Loved the margarita and salsas before the meal. The service was nice considering that my friend was snippy with them. We waited a while for the meal because the server forgot to put one of the orders in (see comment above). I found the food very meh. The enchiladas enmolada were filled with very dry white chicken meat. The rice was not particularly flavourful, odd considering the poblano and corn additions. The mole was *raw* tasting, as though the sauce hadn't cooked long enough for the flavours to develop. For $6 more than my breakfast, it was not even close in quality of the ingredients or love in the kitchen. If I lived in San Antonio, I'd give them another shot, you know, because it's my friend's favourite place.

I came during Culinaria's Restaurant Week with coworkers. We used open table for reservations. We were immediately seated and tended to. Luis, our waiter was very attentive and conscientious. The food was delicious! My asperagus soup was savory. I also selected the enchiladas suizas as my entree. They're very similar to green chicken enchiladas; extremely large portion. My meal ended perfectly with tres leches cake. One of the best!

The restaurant was able to accommodate a very large group on a Friday night. The food was excellent. Fish dishes (ceviche and shrimp cocktail) were crisp and fresh. The chille relleno with chicken was superb. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Servers were kind and attentive. Space was nice --plenty of seating options ...beautiful venue. Will definitely come back!

Stopped for lunch on this beautiful not so hot Texas day. We were welcomed by a friendly staff. We Decided to eat outside and have a couple drinks. We ordered the Paloma and the Effen Cucumber -TINI. Both drinks were very refreshing. Great choices for sitting outside. My hubby ordered the Pollo Asado. Very good meal. It wasn't a heavy meal and seasoned nicely... I ordered the PUNTAS DE PUERCO. I loved it. Seasoned perfectly with a nice spice to it. We definitely plan on going back.

Came here early Friday night when it was relatively empty. After we were seated we were given salsa and chips which were yum !! However then sat around for 15 minutes and no one came to ask us for water as we watched other parties that arrived at the same time receive their water, drinks and appetizers. Eventually we asked someone to go find our waiter who even after looking for her didn't come for another 10 minutes. We got the vegetarian enchiladas and table side guac which were delicious. TLDR; food was great, service was terrible.
