Restaurante La Segovia

Great food but expense but delicious 😋

I tried the Nacatamal and it was so good. It was fresh, hot and flavorful!

Absolutely amazing. Hit the spot! Was a nice reminder of home. The gayo pinto, madudos were cooked and flavor right! I got the chancho con yuca, super soft and flavorfull!

Delicious Nicaraguan food, excellent costumer service, good prices. Definitely be back for more boiled yucca and fried cheese!

I absolutely loved my visit to Restaurante Nicaraguense La Segovia! The moment you walk in, you feel the warm, family-owned vibe. The nacatamales and fritangas are authentic, flavorful, and cooked to perfection — truly a taste of home if you’re Nicaraguan or just exploring new cuisines. Portions are generous and worth every penny. The staff is kind, welcoming, and takes time to explain the dishes. The restaurant is clean and cozy, perfect for breakfast or lunch. If you’re in San Antonio and craving something unique and delicious, this spot is a hidden gem!

I wanted something simple and ordered the fried rice with beans which I loved. The drinks are so fresh and delicious. This was my first and I liked it a lot.

Loved !!! The Churrasco was great and deliciously cooked, wait time was a bit but after I noticed they only had ONE staff member and speaking to her, I realized she was running the restaurant on her own so in truth for 1 person being there, the wait time was not long at all.

We've visited this restaurant twice. Our last visit was a much better experience. The service was excellent. The food came very close to what I would expect in Miami or Los Angeles. I would go back again.

3.5/5 Stars Your favorite honest to a fault reviewer here, with another they-were-nice-so-I-wish-I-could-rate-them-higher review. Located in a strip mall next to a had station and Domino's Pizza next door, it is a one room establishment, with a small section near the cashier that has shelves with Nicaraguan groceries you can take home and memorabilia such as raglan shirts with "Nicaragua" branded across the front. A homey feel, with children running around and cooks shouting out in Spanish. But love the unique hand painted napkin holders, a different one on most tables! First thing to know is that none of the employees speak English here. Which is perfectly fine for a large portion of the population here that do indeed speak Spanish. However, my first complaint about the place is that the owner was the one who served us. She was polite, but did not make any effort to understand me better. I am not saying she needs to learn English for customers, but as a good customer service model, they should at least make the effort, not stare at me blankly and continue speaking to me only in Spanish. With some considerable consultation with my best friend, Google, and gesturing, we did get through the meal fine and she even gave us free bracelets after we paid. But that didn't quite make up for the fact that when I translated some questions I had regarding the menu via Google and showed her the written Spanish text, she smiled and made a gesture that made it clear she wasn't interested in engaging. Maybe because she had her hands full with her daughter running around the room. Not that I had any issues with that. Because she came to sit next to me for a little while, attracted by my Ositos Cariñositos (Spanish for Care Bears!). They forgot the rice with my friend's Cerdo Frito (Fried Pork) order and we had to ask for it. Final complaint is that she served my Pescado Ala Tipitapa (Fish from Tipitapa, a city in Nicaragua) a good twenty minutes after everything else. This might be easier for the kitchen, but it puts customers in an awkward position, having to either let good food get cold or eating at different times. Indeed, my friend was practically done by the time the fish came out. Now for the actually meal! Drinks were refreshing and tasted authentic. The Arroz Con Piña does indeed have actual cooked rice added in the drink, sinking to the bottom and sucked through the straw like boba pearls. But, be forewarned, the taste and texture of mushy cooked rice adding starch to a drink is much different than sweet tapioca pearls! The Guanabana drink was great, tastes exactly like the fruit with added sugar. The Nacatamal, their version of the tamale, is quite different, with full sized meat pieces mixed with the annatto seasoned corn meal, and wrapped in banana leaves. Personally, I prefer the more filling and seasoned taste in the Nacatamal versus Tamales. Main dishes we had were the fried pork and fish, as mentioned above. All main dishes are served with fried rice or rice with beans, fried plantains or plantain chips, and coleslaw mix. They also bring a large salsa like condiment mix to the table. Pork was very fatty, and meat was pretty dry. Was quite a disappointment, especially without the rice that we did not get until we realized it was missing. The fish was a winner. Full fish, with bones, but nicely fried; crispy and tender, the meat slid from the bones easily enough. Comes with a very spicy sauce that fortunately comes on the side for those that desire it. All in all, a nice opportunity to get some authentic Nicaraguan fodder, complete with Spanish only communication! Unfortunately, the prices are a little on the high side compared to other authentic hole in the wall places. Would I return? Maybe because this is such a rare cuisine to find in town, but reallywish they would care a little more about the customer service side of things. Something to make the experience worth the prices.

Was not what I was expecting, I was really looking forward to this place. Thought I found something close to home but it was a disappointment. The cheese was dry, the gallo-pinto really didn’t have much flavor. The maduros had a funny after taste. Over all I rate this place a 4/10

Food was OK not so good. I had a Cacao drink and it was way too sweet. the staff was nice but there was only 2 serving and it looked like they couldn't keep up. They didnt have queso frito and also i asked for a quesillo and they didn't have it.

Nice place to eat somehow Nicaraguan food. I say this because they were out of most of the menu. Service is good and food is served hot out of the pot. Recommend the Carne asada. But if you're into soups, be early in the morning.

Food is ok but , I don't like how she over charge you at the register. I can do math on my head easily to include the taxes. I have only been there three times, the first time one don't think very much of it. The second time it was most noticeable, but the 3rd time it was more clear because menu said $ 8.00 at the register she said I owe her $ 10. Not going back after that.

I was very dissapointed. The menu prices were different at the time of paying, no receipt and prices were astronomical. Nacatamal was $8.99 in the menu and then I was charge 9.99 and was told they haven't change the menu prices......the rest of the prices were made up....the cashier ring the register and then use a calculator to charge me $97.00.....I was very sad....I wanted to support my own people but definitely not a trusted establishment. I asked for beef because am allergic to pork and I still received pork meat. Mind you it was a 45minute drive. . Shame! I would not be returning or recommending this place.

Went there on two separate occasions. The second time I got less food and paid the same amount as the first time..45$ is WAY TO MUCH. will not be coming here again.. it be your own people.. smh

The food is great , but the prices are way too high to want to come here often. Even then the amount of gallopinto is laughable. I would come back more often if prices come down .

I'm not sure I'm coming back. The Gallo Pinto is "kid size." The meat is barely 4-5 OZ. The Cacao is 8-10 OZ. Price for this plate: $25. I would suggest redoing your pricing strategy. The place itself looks ghost. Rate based on sign on wall: B/88. Good luck. I highly recommend that you check your pricing strategy. It doesn't match demographics in San Antonio

The food I bought was disgusting. The fry cheese 🧀 was sour 🤮🤢🤮🤮 Im now sitting here with food poisoned. Today March 03, 2026 I called and and I the lady said is she was sorry for the soiled food.
