This was our first time and visiting the restaurant and we will definitely be back! The ceviche had just the right amount of acidity. The Beef Churrasco was tender and the chimichurri added a fresh brightness to cut the richness of the beef. Mojitos were also well executed and the service was flawless. Great overall experience.

We were told that the indoor sitting was being reserved for a large group. The food was not all that. Also the waitress automatically charged a 20% tip without even telling us. If it weren't for my wife revising the ticket I would have probably left an additional tip. The 20% was too much. I would have left a 12% especially for the service and atmosphere we experienced. When we left,those indoor tables were still vacant. Terrible service and a waste of my $25.00 certificate. Read more Read less

I ordered the chilean sea bass, which is what i always order because normally its delicious. However this time, the crust was very salty, the portion tiny for the 30 dollar price, and the fish was totally under cooked, almost like a jelly. My companions ordered the short ribs and rasta chicken, which they both found to be dry and tasteless. Totally not worth the prices. But the guacamole was good as well as the tres leches cake.

They didn't have the first 3 beers that my husband tried to order off their menu. We liked our food quite a bit, but probably wouldn't order one of them again as it was very sweet for our palate.

We selected the sampler appetizer to enjoy a variety of what Azuca had to offer and we were not disappointed. Each individual flavor was unique and delicious. As it was our first experience (but certainly not our last) we asked our waiter for recommendations. I had the Chilean sea bass and my husband had the paella. Both were well prepared, plentiful and yes, I will say it again, delicious. The main restaurant is decorated with beautiful blown glass - the walls, tables lights and chandeliers are made in a shop behind the restaurant. There is an outdoor patio too, but we loved the ambiance created inside when the lights in the restaurant were lowered in the evening and the blown glass lights on the tables were lit. Our waiter was very courteous and helpful. He helped with food and drink selections, explained the art and brought us brochures so that we could come back to see the glass being made during the day.

Great please place to dine at as far as location and ambiance is concerned, however, the service that night was not too over the top. Service was ok, towards the end we never got asked if we needed more water even after the waiter passed our table up like 2 times. Also they were moving a table and they bumped into one of our chairs and the staff did not even apologize. Maybe it was just the staff that night but I was disappointed. Food is great but be prepared to overpay like $9 for 3 small coconut shrimp. Read more Read less

If is was not for the food i would not be impressed. The servers, especially the gentleman we had, are not attentive or aware of their patrons. We had to constantly ask for what we needed. He would drop something off at our table and turn around and leave without asking if there was anything else we needed or simply noticing our waters needed to be refilled. I wish i could have enjoyed my meal more without having to ask for things that should have been done by the server by simply noticing his table. Read more Read less

I wanted to bring my husband here because I've been pleased when I've visited at Lunch. My basic salad was $14 and had rubbery (unripe) avocado. The replacement avocado I got was a little more ripe, but flavorless. The quality of the food was not what I would expect for the full menu price. Also, the chocolate cake was drowning in strawberry sauce. It would have been better with less sauce. We love the ambiance and decoration, just hope this was a bad day and an exception, not the normal quality. Read more Read less

The food was AMAZING, every dish we had was the best I've ever had,from the bacon & jalepeneo wrapped shrimp that was perfectly cooked,the ceviche trio that was a beautiful dish and delicious. Our entrees were equally as perfect,I had the Pallera Mixta and the meats were cooked perfect (medium) just how I like my beef and the pork,chicken and sausage were succulent as can be. My girlfriend had the chipotle shrimp pasta and was different and soooo good. We were so excited that even though we were full we had to try their Tres Leches cake. The cake was the perfect cap off to the whole meal. I am a catastrophe response worker ask I travel a lot,this restaurant is in my top 5 restaurants I've experienced and Azuca Muscle Latino is my number one. I definitely recommend this quaint yet modern restaurant and promise you will not be disappointed one bit. I am going to recommend this restaurant to my co-workers on my travels throughout the United States that would happen to be visiting San Antonio. Thanks guys,my experience was PERFECT,PERFECT,PERFECT. P.S. This is the only restaurant that I have ever been to where the dishes that are brought to our table looked exactly like in the menu and online. Picture Pefect. Thanks again and see you very soon with more of my family. Thanks to the manager Mike and his staff. Read more Read less

Service was excellent at the bar as well as while me and my husband were dining. I was impressed with how imacculate the bar was and the sense of urgency our bartender had as well as his excellent service. Our waiter was also excellent as was our food. My only 2 critiques were the blackend tuna steak we ordered was extremely fishy tasting and therefore undesireable. I could not eat it however my husband did as he was just hungry and did not want to wait. (I should note that our waiter did offer to get us another entree without hesitation) Lastly, our entire sit down meal took a while, 1.5 hours in total to complete from appetizer, salad, entree and dessert. I would have liked it to be cut down to about 1 hour. Other than that it was an extremely pleasant experience and I would return again. Read more Read less

Hi, No matter how wonderful the food is prepared, the most important part of a person's experience has to do with customer service. When you serve someone as if you are mad at the world, it makes all the difference in the world! It is a possibility that I will give them another try, but the person I went there with, had attended there the week prior. Their response was, "I hope we don't have him as a waiter again.
