Delicious food including their homemade corn and flour tortillas. The ambience was nice, there was a nice gentleman singing while we had lunch. Our waitress was friendly and provided great service. I really appreciate the affordable prices. Initially, came here after a friend recommended this restaurant and now I will definitely be telling my friends about this place as well!!

The food is always delicious and the wait staff is always attentive. We have been coming here for 5 years after arriving from Maui and always leave satisfied. The added value of the food being very affordable as well as not compromising on the flavor and quality is a big plus. My husband always gets the Fajitas flameadas and I generally get the Botana plate but they also have delicious cheese enchiladas and tacos. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Very qualified service and detailed gourmet dishes. My steak a la Tampiqueña was XL surrounded with taste fixtures. I’ll get some margaritas next time.

Place is clean and peeps are friendly. Adriana was my waitress very nice. Had myself some chilaquiles with two eggs just the way I like them. She came around 3xasking if I needed anything even though she had many other tables. I recommend highly. Food was delicious along with coffee, water and some chips con salsa. Great 1st experience thank you

I ordered pastor taco and a pastor Gordita they both were so tasty!! Really recommend if you like pastor tacos. We were given baskets of chips and sides of salsa free upon being seated. Our drink order was taken after awhile they came then we placed our food order, the service from our server was less than stellar I understand we have bad days so I won’t dock the restaurant a star for that. Because honestly it’s not fair to the restaurant to leave a less than 5 star for one discrepancy . I would definitely visit again. Ice tea was perfect honestly no complaints outside of the server seemingly bothered by us being there. But food was great drinks were great and atmosphere was nice. Other stuff we ordered was cheese enchilada plate , fajita taco , Dino nuggets , enchiladas verdes , and a plate of fries.

3rd time here. Great Mexican Food on the southside of San Antonio. Its where natives go for a home cook meal and to converse with other natives. Great servers/waiters. (They also have oatmeal). NOT a fast food place, all cooked fresh and no long wait time.

The food is great, the service is very prompt. I'm wheelchair bound and the staff sees to it that I always have a great spot to pull my chair up to. All of the staff is very cordial and in the rare event that an order is wrong, they gladly replace it with the correct one. The bar makes awesome drinks and brings them to the table for you no problem. They're not watered down either. But my favorite thing? Absolutely delicious menudo every day of the week and the portions of it and everything else are amazing!! I highly recommend starting with the bean and cheese nachos! The prices are pretty decent and the daily specials are always something yummy.

Pretty nice place! Pretty good Mexican food with a wide range of desserts! Cheesecakes are my favorite! Food: 7/10 Not a huge fan of their food but they are good for a Mexican restaurants standard. Pretty fresh and always hot Service: 9/10 Had good service, our waitress was kind and on top of our refills so props to her! Atmosphere: 8/10 Not the best looking interior but it’s still pretty nice on the inside. They also do live music and open mic karaoke so that’s a cool bonus!

Very Nice Place, is affiliated with the Perla by Military Dr & S Presa location however I find the prices a bit higher but tasting better & different selections as well. A plus is the bar they have and TV screens throughout . Very tasty food , the chips & salsa was also different BUT mouth watering delicious. A must try . Only problems I found was men's restroom door gets stuck & you have to push ,a problem if in a wheelchair , also door is in front of sinks , another problem if someone is there & someone comes in , hopefully not in a wheelchair .

Erika apparently the manger in charge for the store was extremely rude and not professional at all.. the food is good don’t get me wrong, but not enough to deal with that bad service or bad employees like that…

seriously Im super disappointed..in this place (drive thru) I ordered a torta of Bistec with only avocado and yellow cheese & I ended up getting a torta of al pastor with lettuce, tomato and sour cream (which im allergic to). I called spoke to ANTONIO poor customer service i don't know how he’s in charge i told him i couldn’t take the torta back cause I live far that i’ll send him a picture and he said to save it & bring it tomorrow can you believe it?! no dinner for me. insane smh make sure you check you food before you leave

We made the mistake in dining here. Had the Mexican plate and the beef enchiladas. The ground meat used in both the enchiladas and crispy taco tasted and smelled weird. It smelt like dog food and had that weird looking texture. After we finished our meal we started to have that horrible after taste. Even had acid reflux with those egg belches. Needless to say, we got extremely sick right away. I'm talking vomiting through both ends. x.x Never again.

Enchiladas verdes were cold inside and out and tasted SOUR and BITTER. The al pastor was super sweet and bland. This place used to be decent.

Burnt torta bread after telling them I want it warm not burned because last three times it was burnt. Since then I go to the other la Perla down the street on se military and they do it right. I am out of hospital so didn’t feel like driving longer way so I gave them another try… they burnt my torta bread more than ever just cause I asked for it not to be burnt. Never again I called and the manager had the employee’s back not mine. They said sorry for misunderstanding I said I told her more than once not burnt.. she did it on purpose because this is the most burnt it has ver been .

Our server was super sweet so it makes me sad to have to leave a bad review but the carne smelt old like feet & the chori queso was also funky smelling we couldnt finish our food and had to send it back :(. It was so bad it had my boyfriend puking in the parking lot! The limonada & chips y salsa was probably the only good part :(. Very unfortunate first and probably last time coming here. Staff was super sweet and understanding tho.

20 minutes passed since we order drinks, I had to get up to ho get my drink from the bar but the waiter saw me and came to bring it to my table. The ceviche had like a pound of Serrano peppers, my wife doesn't eat picante and she was not enjoying that ceviche at all. I think the Serrano peppers should be served on the side. The waiter didn't go back to the table after she brought the food, we got the ticket at the register.

Never had an experience as this... Sent my ENTIRE meal, drink and food, back. Overcooked. And the drink... had lemonade, tasted like it was mixed with something spoiled. Thank goodness I at least ordered rice and beans on the side, because the chicken didn't come with it. That's all I ate. Rice and bean with tortillas. I wasn't even asked if I wanted to order something else. Also, my waitress changed constantly. I wasn't even rude. I know they go through enough to deal with rude customers, so I wasn't going to add to it, but why change like 3 times? Food wasn't even all that good. At best a 3 of 5. Edible, but not the best. I tried giving this place a chance, but this was the last straw. Time and time again, the food was just not it. Hope it gets better in the future.

Ordered a pork chop plate to go and received the most disgusting puddle of liquid in my food, drenched salad, and meat that tasted like fish. I imagine they are improperly storing their meats together or on top of each other. I’m from the neighborhood and I’ll never be back. Considering calling health inspector. Also, for clarity, the liquid is not the additional salsa that comes with this plate. That was served separately. See photos.
