Best

If you're up in the area, give this a try. The menu has many many items on it, and I think that can make one feel overwhelmed. I also think that it causes the restaurant to lose ...

Worst

A huge disappointment! Service was mediocre at best. Waiter had a bad attitude from the moment he realized we weren't ordering drinks and full meals. We are all trying to watc...

My friends and I have been going to El Jarro for 27 years and the experience has always been great. Their lunch buffet is the greatest. Everything is tasty, hot and prepared to perfection. This is the only restaurant where I can't complain about the Spanish rice (It's always hot and tasty, not cold and old like in other restaurants). An excellent restaurant, worth the trip from anywhere in San Antonio. more

I have gone to El Jarro since we first moved to the neighborhood back in the 1980's. We are longtime devotees and have celebrated major occasions at El Jarro always. The margaritas are definitely my favorites. I have named them: (1) Truth (2) Beauty (3) Justice. Good luck getting through two of them much less to the third. That's why I always say I can't get any justice. BUT, if there were justice, El Jarro would always win for Best Margaritas, hands down. The food, the atmosphere, Sandy, the owner -- great reasons to make El Jarro a habit. more

Atmosphere, service, and food combine at El Jarro de Arturo to make a wonderful dining experience. I had the beef fajitas this time and the seasoning was great. The frijoles were also delicious (much better than refried beans, trust me!) with excellent depth of flavor, as was the guacamole. I even like their rice which is nearly unheard of at a restaurant. more

The atmosphere is nice with dim lighting, white table cloths, and candle light. There is almost always music playing, often live. The mango margarita is good, and the food isnt bad. I go here often because its close by. more

Not too far from the airport, located in a busy shopping center, I enjoyed the food, especially the handmade ""Maria Tortillas"" appetizer, practically enough for a light lunch in itself. more
