Highly recommend the King George Margarita with tajin on the rim and the Maria’s Mango Fresca. The free tortilla chips and fresh salsa are the perfect compliment!
Sit at the outside bar with a fresh drink at Cafe Ole and people watch…BONUS if you get to have Gina as your bartender!
I asked for grilled chicken for my small salad, which is still good size, and the chicken was cold and dry.
The burritos are good size, however their frys are not crispy and just blah.
Mark was are waiter and was attentive.
We started with margaritas, which were just okay—nothing memorable or worth the hype. The complimentary chips arrived stale, setting a disappointing tone right away. For our entrees, I went with the smoked brisket tacos, and I have to say, it was the driest brisket I’ve ever encountered in my life. In Texas, of all places, that’s inexcusable; brisket should be a point of pride, not a letdown.
Service was equally underwhelming. Our server took forever to even take our initial orders, and when drinks finally started arriving, they came out one at a time—with the kids’ drinks served dead last. My wife ordered a beer, which showed up in a room-temperature can alongside a chilled glass; the server called it the “kitchen’s compromise.” We sent it right back. Then the food rollout was the same story: plates trickled out one by one, again with the kids’ meals landing last. Most family-friendly spots prioritize getting kids’ food out first to keep everyone settled, but not here.
Needless to say, I strongly advise skipping Cafe Ole and heading to a different spot on the River Walk or elsewhere in San Antonio. There are far better options for authentic Mexican fare and decent service.
