We dined at El Mirasol while in town for Fiesta. Please note that if you're staying on the Riverwalk, this restuarant is about 25 minutes ($48 cab fare one way) away. Have the premium margarita; the best we've had anywhere. The menu is extensive and features numerous sauces; not only did our waitress do a great job of describing them... More

I was surprised to see the number of people there on a Thursday evening since I don't know of anyone who wants to meet at the restaurant anymore. It had been some time since my last visit but I remembered being impressed by their margaritas, which I ordered this time. It was way over-priced and not nearly as good as... More

While they are a tad pricey, this is the best I've had....here or anywhere else. Very much enjoyed the lobster enchilada and my husband's taco's were great. We've been here 3 times now and plan to be regulars...

Great place for wonderful enchiladas and margaritas in a patio environment. Service is attentive but not intrusive. Plan to stay awhile in the relaxed atmosphere.

Not anything like your standard tex-mex restaurant. Sort of hidden, we heard about it from friends when we moved to San Antonio. We take all of our friends from out of town as it is the best Mexican food in San Antonio and it is not touristy at all. You will not get anything this good on the river walk,... More

Visting San Antonio for a long weekend and a wedding. Had dinner here with friends after reviewing the top restaurant options close to our hotel on Trip Advisor. I can't say the experience was unbelievable, but this is, certainly, a good quality establishment with authentic mexican cuisine and good service. The value for the money is good as well. I... More

Our party of 4 enjoyed a very nice evening on the restaurant's relaxing patio. The commercial jets flying overhead toward the airport were an occasional distraction, but we eventually were able to ignore their noise. We especially liked the mole and seafood enchiladas; the mole sauce is the best we've tasted in San Antonio. We asked for substitutions (borracho beans... More

We were amazed that there was a "real" Mexican restaurant in San Antonio. Very very good although pricey. Varied menu, clean setting, suburb type of restaurant with an outside patio eating area or inside air conditioned area. The pricing didn't match the seating area; High pricing but cheap looking tables and chairs even though the neighborhood is upscale and the... More
