    We were surprised at having to wait so long to be seated even though our complete party checked in on time for our 1:30pm reservation. After checking in at the desk again after 30 mins has passed, we were told it would be another 20 mins for an inside table. Because everyone was hungry, we said we would take an outside table. While we were waiting for that to be ready, they advised an inside table became available. This is what I would have expected without a reservation. Once we were seated, the service and food were great!

    We first ate at La Margarita in the 70’s and have eaten there many times when we visit San Antonio. We sat outside and our waiters were efficient and personable. The food was delicious. We started with queso flameado con chorizo as an appetizer. It’s sooo good! I had the sour cream enchiladas which did not disappoint. My husband ate the cheese chili rellenos and loved them. The whole experience was delightful.

    Henry was a funny and attentive waiter. The chips and salsa were ok. The margarita drinks were not the greatest. I was expecting amazing especially with the name of the restaurant and the fact that I bought the premium drinks. The food was delicious! Overall good experience thanks to Henry!

    Food was great. Server was kind. Service was a tad slow but I didn’t mind it because I liked my drink and the chip and salsa. Very enjoyable.

    This is a restaurant that has been open for greater than 30 years and is still thriving, for very good reason. It is very straightforward, no nonsense, and authentic Tex-Mex. One of the best in San Antonio! Don’t go to Casa Rio in the Riverwalk! This is so much better! Mi Tierra’s next-door is equally as good, and both are owned by the same people. What a great legacy!
