Went this past Sunday afternoon and had an excellent experience. Our server was Ventura. He was amazing, knowledgable, and super friendly. He recommended the pork tacos, which honestly one of the best things I have ever eaten in San Antonio. This restaurant is an indulgence of spice. Every thing was delicious and the atmosphere was super-chill, with the potential to be a great night hot spot.

The food was okay, but the service was fantastic, and the atmosphere was great.I came with a large group. We ordered all plates to share. Very solid Mexican dishes.They have a great selection of mezcal as well.The flautas were good.The attention from the server was noticeable.Overall, great experience. Would be back.

We came here for date night on a Friday night. The restaurant is nice but you have to pay for parking since this place doesn't have their own lot. There weren't very many people and although our waitress started out nice and attentive, she ended up ignoring us for quite some time after we got our food so we eventually flagged another server down. The food is ok, nothing remarkable. We did like the fideo soup but my flautas were very dry and lacked seasoning. My wifes tacos were incredibly tiny and not filled very well so she had to order something else to feel full. They were good though. For the price tag I expected more. The drinks were awesome. Overall, its one of those restaurants you eat at once and probably never go back to. I'd recommend for the drinks though.

In town(San Antonio, Texas) for a rock show(Stryper and Vixen, at The Espee) I decided to stay at the Staybridge streets and across the street is Cuishe Cocina. We sat at the bar where Eugenio, our bartender, took amazing care of us. I started off with a couple of ice cold Stellas from the draft. I then paired the next 3 Stellas from the draft with a Happy Hour appetizer, Lengua en Salsa, plus off the menu flautas de pollo. Let me tell you...the ambiance is fantastic, the food is amazing, and the drinks, custom made right in front of you at their bar which offers up Thursday as happy hour day(I would call ahead and inquire on their happy hour drink and food offerings). Easily located off of I-37, this place is easily accessible via Uber or Lyft, or if you are staying at the Staybridge Suites, right across the street. Stop by and say hello to Eugenio, and have him custom make you your favorite drink!

This is not your typical Mexican restaurant. It’s more upscale which is reflected in the prices. Chips and salsa do not come with your meal. I ordered enchiladas and it was only the entree, no sides. However, the food and service was good. The service was almost too good…I was sitting at the bar and four different people came to ask me how I was doing while I ate one entree. The vibe is great though. Good music and ambience.

I attended a private party on their patio. The food and drinks were delicious and the set up was gorgeous. The only opportunity was that there was no air circulation. No fans and it was hot! We were sweating until mother nature finally began to breathe some air! After 11 pm, we moved inside and the room was finally cool. There is no parking except a valet for $20.Other than that, great service, great food and amazing ambiance.

Really great Mexican restaurant that offers some off the normal food selections. I had the enchiladas with Mole sauce and a drink similar to a horchata that was terrific! The staff was very friendly and the actual building was really cool with a nice outside patio. Short walk from the Grand Hyatt and Marriott hotels.

We love this brewery, everyone who works here is super friendly and helpful! My only complaint is that they don’t always get the orders right. We get the pizza and wings quite often since it’s so close to home, but a few times now I got the wrong order or extras I paid for (chicken or sausage) are not actually added to the pizza. It’s a bummer when you pay for something, get home and discover that you didn’t get what you wanted. Nevertheless, the beer is cold, the people are friendly, & they have made it right when we dine in, so I still appreciate the service they offer!
