Taurino's Mexican Restaurant (Callaghan Road & Ingram Road) — Restaurant in San Antonio

Never been to this place before, so I wanted to try it out. I got a coffee, and the beef quesadilla. Comes with two quesadillas, cut in half, with beans and rices. The quesadillas were an acceptable size. Rice and beans taste great along with the quesadillas. Restaurant and even the bathroom are very clean. Waitress was pretty nice. The only reason I giving this place three stars is because the lack of services from the waitress. Besides the part where she brought us the food we order and the chilli sauce I asked for, she really never came back to check on us. I notice this nine out of ten Mexican restaurants I go to. I usually go after the lunch rush to eat when I go to a restaurant. I dunno, maybe the waiters already made what they need already for the day, and maybe this is why the lack of services on the waitress end? All I know is, I waited a good while to see if she would come back and check on me, so I can get more coffee. I had to go to the back and ask for more coffee with my cup in my hand. The restaurant wasn't even busy at all. If I have to get to to do a waitress job, and then no, I'm not leaving a tip. I know waiters/waitress depend on tips, but I also depend on them for services when I go out to eat. I use to be waiter, I know how it's supposed to be. I always would check on my tables no matter how busy I got. I'm not saying I'm the best, most perfect waiter in the world, because I'm far from being perfect in anyway, shape or form, but this was very unprofessional. I would go back, but to try it again tho, because I always give a restaurant three chances before I actually decide to leave...

Where do I start? Not sure how this is 4.2 stars which is why we picked it in the first place. Looks like local return customers inflating the real story. Ordered the gorditas and puffy tacos the meat inside flavor was off. Not sure what it tasted like but not any hint of beef. Couldn't eat them-gross/gross texture and flavor. I know Gorditas have that type of filling but this just not right. They use the same feeling for taco and my dining partner could not eat theirs either. Beans thick and flaky dry. Chicken taco tasted like canned tuna. They have home made flour tortillas that were exciting to see as were warm, fluffy, and defenietly pleasing to site and texture but fell real short on flavor -salt needed. Without flavor not worth eating. Rice was the only thing I can say was very good. I'm super salty as paid for a meal that was gross. I'm a visitor to San Antonio looking for Tex Mex not this or good Mexican. I wanted to make a find like El Rodeo on potranco road where I went twice last visit and both time perfect all with...

Taurinos offers a generally decent dining experience, but if you're a connoisseur of authentic Mexican food, you might find it falls a bit short. I opted for the lunch chicken fajitas, and unfortunately, the chicken was quite dry. My friend's huevos rancheros with carne guisada also missed the mark; the carne guisada, which should be wonderfully tender, was surprisingly tough. The true highlights of our meal were the fresh tortillas and the sweet tea. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, providing a pleasant backdrop for a meal. However, for those seeking a truly authentic and well-executed Mexican food experience, you might want to explore other options. I’ll come one more time to try to order something different, the fideo loco seems to have a...
