El Mirasol At Napa Oaks — Restaurant in Boerne

UPDATE: On, 8/15/25 Disappointing Experience – Poor Service and Overpriced Food

I ordered one dish to go and arrived about 20 minutes later to pick it up. Another customer arrived at the same time. When the server came out, he brought out the other customer's food—but not mine. I waited, thinking he’d be right back. After five more minutes, it was clear they had forgotten my order.

I asked the receptionist again, and she reassured me it was coming—but she didn’t check or call anyone to confirm. Then another customer arrived and received a large family order before I received my single item. At that point—over 30 minutes after placing my order—I had to interrupt the server myself to ask about it.

When I finally got the food, it was disappointing. The green salsa I requested was missing, and I only received the roasted salsa meant for the chips. The actual meal looked like it came off the kids' menu. The container was half empty, with barely any beans or rice, and the enchiladas had no green sauce—they were cold and dry. I ended up using the chip salsa just to make them edible.

The whole experience was frustrating. The front staff seemed more focused on socializing than helping customers. And if you call to complain, they expect you to drive back 15–20 minutes to fix their mistake—a 35-minute round trip.

The food is okay, but way overpriced. $19 for rice, beans, and two basic enchiladas served in a nearly empty container? Not worth it. I hope the manager/owner takes a hard look at their Take Out food quality & service; however when I first had their tacos last week (dine in) there were fabulous- 5star. This week I noticed that their TOGO foods are a 1.5 STAR plates. The first time they forgot the sidedish which is part of the order. The tacos also had a lot of beans and cabbage and couldn't taste the meat, so I gave them another chance to see if they were having a bad day; no one is perfect. Nope, second time- Take Out was even worse, there was barely any carne asada in the tacos, mostly beans and about 50% cabbage, I love cabbage but were is the meat? cmon? - for $15.00?and their sidedish was bare, and mostly water with grease on top. I won't be doing any more TOGO orders, I will dine in one last time; maybe it's the TO GO area failings. I hope the manager/owner takes a hard look at their Take Out Area; I noticed SA has similar problem with Mexican food preparation/quality; is not made with passion for or love for food. The Take Out was beyond SUBPAR. - again my first several visits were all 5-Star, and downgraded it to a 1Star from take out experience. I hope I can change my...

Walking distance from my daughter's first apartment, we eat here about monthly. Service is always good and the food is always perfect. She always gets floutas, and theirs are very good compared to many other restaurants. This time I went for the salmon and opted for the cilantro cream sauce. It comes with the salad and white rice, which makes an appetizingly colorful plate. Salad was lightly dressed, rice was fluffy, and the salmon was cooked to perfection - not dry or rare. I absolutely loved the cilantro cream sauce, it was excellent on the rice, too. Upon closer examination, I could see the bubbles rising rapidly to the surface - as if it had immediately been blended on high speed and poured into the serving cup. IDK how quickly the sauce starts to spoil that it would require blending in bubbles to be the final plating step, but half the cup of sauce was air, and that affected the still very creamy texture on the tongue. It would be lavish tongue texture without the bubbles (just strain it once).

I know I'm nit picking about bubbles in the sauce. Everything else was perfection, and I'm not cutting stars over something that was mostly esoteric in nature. And, I will return, and I will have the same dish again on another visit. It's a great restaurant with excellent food and good service!

Most of the time we visit, it is not so crowded. There were tables available, but most of the tables were full. The noise level was much higher than when it's only half full. Still able to carry on a conversation, but required a bit more attention to the conversation (not a bad thing) than normal. Still a good dinner date...

It is Chispas Time! The wait is over! El Mirasol in Boerne has opened its doors today! It is safe to say that we were the very first ones to walk in! 😬 We were cheerfully greeted by Franco and Fernanda and all the smiley hosts. Service from all the staff was exceptional, especially our gracious and attentive server, Diana. We were checked on often by her and other staff members. Our food was soo good, believe this Mexican-American that lived in Mexico and experienced real Mexican food and culture. Pictured here is Guacamole w Chicharron de Ribeye🤤, Chicken Soup w lots of pollo, Taquitos Rancheros and Churros. All of our food was full of flavor and so colorful! We were there again on El Mirasol’s “First Friday” “First” Friday for El Mirasol! Full house when we arrived. Franco spotted and warmly greeted and offered us drinks while we waited for a table. We were seated within 30 minutes. We proceeded to order our appetizers, the mandatory fresh guacamole w ribeye, chicken and beef fajita nachos, these were loaded! We got to enjoy chispas and a delicious dinner, more chispas 😁 We have bern enjoying El Mirasol’s delicious food for years now, since their Blanco location and visit their other two locations often with friends. I really love the consistency of the food presentation and flavors. We love the atmosphere, relaxed, fun & vibrant. We are so excited for this new location in our Rancho. Ask for Franco when visiting this location for an exceptional experience, you will be treated with the best...
