El Picante Mexican Grill & Seafood — Restaurant in San Antonio

I went literally 4 times in 2 days with my dad here. I decided to try it out with him because he has always said good things about it. Finally went and each time it was great service. I had the quesabirria taco plate for dinner which was OUTSTANDING and then for breakfast the next day I had a chilaquile taco and a migas taco. I’m very specific on both kinds and both were delicious! You HAVE to try their green picante salsa I forgot what it was called but it’s nice and SPICY if you like spice. They have beer on tap which was nice and crisp. I also had a mimosa with my breakfast tacos and it was evenly proportioned with champagne and orange juice (I would know, I’m a brunch queen lol). Definitely a great place to bring the kids too because they also have milkshakes and as my son said, “that milkshake was a 10/10!” They also sell some bakery sweets like sugar cookies and Paletas! I wish they had a good authentic mexican restaurant like this...

I ordered the Texas Plate, which is a portion of carne Guisada, rice, beans, 2 cheese enchiladas,and salad. The food came out in good time. The portions were good. The items all had a good flavor, and the tortillas were nice and hot and enjoyable. The carne Guisada was very good. The enchiladas were cheesy and tasty as well. Price of meal was pretty average. Only drawback this visit was service. I rarely saw my server. She WAS relatively busy so I understand to a certain point. It took awhile to get someone's attention. I needed a tea refill and extra napkins. I was finally able to get them. Nothing exceptional about this place except it is relatively new, so there are kinks to...

Super disappointed!! I go twice back to back in drive thru. First off they take forever in drive thru. And then both times I’m missing food. First day they apologized and said they’d give me 50% the next time. Today I go and they wanted to give me 50% off the same product. I said Karen never said that and I don’t want caldo twice b2b. So they gave me 50% off quesabirria plate. I get home and there’s no Consome!! I had seen the cup but it was actually charro beans. I called they said they’re out of it. I said why didn’t you mention that. That’s part of the whole deal. Without it it defeats the whole purpose. So I’m never going there again. Drive thru sucks and the owner...
