In the last 3 weeks, we have eaten both lunch and a late dinner at El Jarro De Arturo's. Their lunch buffet was open and we chose to sample it. We were fairly late, but the staff made sure the items on the buffet were fresh and plentiful. The price was definitely reasonable. We had eaten dinner (late) the previous week - choosing from an extensive menu. Again, we felt that the food met our expectations (and we really like Mexican food). Again, the price was reasonable for the amount of food we received. The serving staff were attentive, but not too much so.

Restaurant was too cold and food was cold as well. Enchiladas were too mooshy and had too much cheese.

Bought 2 Sweetheart Valentine Dinners for evening of Feb 14 @ $112 couple. Dinner was "exquisite"! Drinks, appetizer, main course & dessert. The place had a live band providing sweetheart music during the event advertised from 5:30pm-11:30am. Well, at 9:50 the band begins packing-up and leaves! Leaving all of us with no entertainment. The only catch I should warn you about is the price of drinks. My bill soared after a few! That was discouraging. Enjoyed the food, enjoyed the music. Won't return because of drink prices & fact that band left way earlier than they should have.

Several years after my last visit to this restaurant, my husband and I had lunch here on a recent Saturday. Although the exterior is nothing to look at but probably can't be changed (it's in a strip mall), the interior definitely needs some upgrade - it's apparent that nothing has changed here in a very long time, including, e.g., the carpets and wall decorations, which look old and rundown. I found the food (cheese enchiladas with chili gravy, rice and refried beans) mediocre and somewhat greasy. The salsa was good (it uses fresh tomatoes) but it was not replenished when we ran out. The food prices are high relative to other Mexican restaurants that offer equivalent or better quality food and ambiance. Given the hundreds of Mexican options in San Antonio, I'd take a pass on another visit here.

I take first-time guests here knowing that the service will be excellent, the food delicious and atmosphere perfect for catching up with friends over an unhurried meal. The lunch buffet during the week is excellent, with many great Mexican dishes.
