Reviews for El Jarro de Arturo in San Antonio, TX
My boyfriend and I came in for a to-go order of flan. The caramel was extremely burnt. For $8.61, that's ridiculous. The only... reason I didn't return it and ask for a refund was because my boyfriend insisted on keeping it (he'll eat anything). And eventhen, he had a couple of bites and he was done. We won't be returning. Read more
Love to meet my girlfriend here and it doesn't matter what u order everything is yumminess. Tuna skewer a must! Appetizer bowls... is a meal itself. Service is always good ???? Read more
This place is definitely a higher end restraunt. The kind of place that is perfect for dressing up. Not too much, but leaning... towards business casual. Button ups for men and blouses for the ladies. The overall mood of the place was delicate, low lightingfor a more romantic feel. Waiters were very polite and well mannered. Unfortunately, the food is where the experience plateauedfor me and my significant other. The cuisine was basic for being a more upscale place. My significant other stated his $8 nachoswere okay and followed a more traditional Tex-Mex style. (Being a Tex-Mex restaurant, I take this as a good thing.) My plate onthe other hand was overcharged. I asked if I could have a beef enchilada plate with added spinach in the enchilada ( which thewaiter stated that was something he could not do- even though the menu offers both beef and spinach...) After talking it overwith another waiter, he came back and stated I could have a plate with one spinach and one beef. The food came out quickly whichwas a plus, but as previously stated, the food was basic. The shocker came after my spouse and I ended up doing some basic mathand calculated that the waiter charged my plate double. Something that should have been $13 and some odd change came out to be$21. (I'm sorry, if I would have known, I would have said forget the spinach. ) All I wanted was for the spinach to be more of agarnish, not a separate bill.... Don't get me wrong, the overall atmosphere is very delightful. The only downside is that Iwould have rather stayed home and cooked. Read more
One of our favorite restaurants to visit when we are in San Antonio. It was very busy when we had our dinner, but the speed of... the food delivery was good. Such a nice atmosphere, a great menu with plenty of options. The portion sizes a huge, we like toshare a meal here. A great restaurant! Read more
READ ALL OF THIS REVIEW...The worst restaurant ever. When you are on a wait list the regular customers get put in front of you.... A drink was spilled on my son's back and nothing was said. The staff ran into the back. Our tray of 4 plates with puffy tacossat there while customers going by were pointing close to our food. This tray sat there for over 5 min. So I went to go lookat it and it was our food. The waiter started yelling at me when I asked him to serve our food. The puffy tacos were supposedto have fajita meat. They had hamburger meat and they charged for the fajita meat. They were soggy from sitting there for whoknows how long before I noticed. If you want a relaxing evening don't go here. It was so loud that we all had a headache bythe time we left. This was one of the worst dining experiences my family has ever had in our life. Sad thing it was my mom's86th Birthday and she wanted to go here. We will never be back. If you want a better dining experience go to La Hacienda onRedland Rd. Quality service and food at La Hacienda. Shared a pic of my puffy taco plate. The rice tasted like it came out ofa box. I would give ZERO stars but to leave a review I had to give 1. Read more
I?ve come here now on several occasions and the food does not disappoint. I?ve had the specials as well as some of the more... traditional Mexican fare and it?s always incredible. Their Mexican martinis are DANGEROUS so consume with caution. I love cominghere with larger groups as they are so accommodating. Read more
Great food, service and atmosphere. Really good house margaritas, salsa wasn't overly salty nor were the delicious hard crispy... chips. Highly recommend. Read more
I LOVE this place. My mother Susan worked at this restaurant when she was pregnant with me back in 88! So I?m sure that?s why... I?m addicted to the salsa and Maria?s Tortillas! Look at how fresh & beautiful that salsa is! The margaritas are mango and reg. Read more
