The food and service are consistently good. The Queso was a perfect appetizer for the four of us. We love the patio, too, but we wish the flies didn’t.

Everything was good. Service and Food. The Atmosphere depended on where you are seated. On the terrace on the inside wall only two stars on the railing looking over the river four stars. The music from in the in house DJ was loud even for outside. All in all a very good experience.

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!

The bar is raised pretty high to be a restaurant located within the precious walls of La Cantera. As a stand-alone cantina, Primero would be popular; but within this high-end resort, the challenge to deliver superior food, service, and ambience is quite a bit higher than the norm. So what are visitors led to expect? BETTER food. BETTER service. And BETTER ambiance! Granted, Mexican dishes are pretty predictable. That is where the challenge begins: creative beverage options, uniquely presented and prepared dishes, and comfortable surroundings. Our server, Andrea, was attentive until the end of the meal when we waited too long for the ticket. It was more than adequate , but nothing really special.

It was the third or fourth time we’ve eaten here. I have been impressed with how good the food is every time. It might be the best Mexican food in a city full of good Mexican restaurants. Also prices are very reasonable.

Las Guitarras Cocina Mexicana is not only about food, but also about music, dance and culture. When you dine with us you will also, at various times, experience the unique time-traveling ambiance of fine Spanish Guitar and the sounds of Flamenco.
