Overall, this was a good experience.
The service started off a little rough, when it took awhile to be acknowledged or have my order taken.
Then a gentleman took care of me and improved the service greatly.
The food was nice, with good sized made to order portions.
The atmosphere was pleasant.

People from San Antonio warn there is NO "great" restaurants on the Riverwalk. In fact some say there are not even any "good" restaurants on the Riverwalk. After eating at this dreck, I wonder if there is even any "mediocre" restaurants on the Riverwalk. My wife and I were exhausted and famished after a busy day during which we had little opportunity to eat. Insultingly, Google ACTUALLY recommended this mediocrity, and upon entering, my wife and I were greeted by a deceptively simple, yet still confusing set up. The bar is located right-angle to the entrance...but there is NO WAY to know where to sit, and how to order. The bar tender is positioned so that they gave away from the entering customer, and therefore cannot assist. My wife and I stood there, confused, not knowing how to proceed until the bartender noticed us and gestured us to a counter in the back where apparently EVERY customer must order. Navigating through several table and chairs in the way, we made our way to an older woman who took our order and explained (again!) the deceptively simple yet confusing menu. This was made difficult because this individual FORGOT her glasses, and thus entered our orders incorrectly. My wife and I only discovered this when they brought TWO entire baskets of chips when we ordered chips, salsa and cheese dip, when we believed we had clearly informed the glassless lady and she came around to verify our order while squinting. Yes, we were charged for both baskets. On to the food. My wife said that her chicken enchiladas were "okay" and "average." I found my tortilla soup to be the same...
except the broth had the salty consistency and taste of Campbell's. While we sat and ate, we watched a parade of people enter - each confused on where to go and how to order, until they were gestured towards the back counter. This establishment is set up in an ignorant, client antagonizing fashion, and if it were not as clean as sparkling clean as it was - I would rate this one star. Do better Riverwalk.

Authentic, high quality Mexican breakfast.
The staff was friendly and helpful and explaining the various dishes.
My favorite restaurant by far on this trip.
