Mezquite

I came here for a Friday afternoon lunch and had an okay experience overall, though I’ve enjoyed previous visits more. Parking was easy with their designated lot, and the atmosphere was really nice with beautiful plants and soft Spanish music playing. There was a bit of confusion at first with being seated and ordering from the restaurant week menu, but it worked out. The guacamole appetizer was fresh and served with warm tortillas, which was a highlight. I ordered the carne asada tacos on homemade tortillas with onions and cilantro. The meat was cooked well, but a little salty for my taste. The limonada was great and had the perfect balance of sweet and tart. For dessert, I had the tres leches cake. The cake itself was good, but the icing tasted sour, so I wasn’t able to finish it. Overall, a decent experience with some strong points, but not as good as my previous visits.

Visited Mezquite recently - overall a nice vibe and a great atmosphere. The tacos were a bit disappointing though; they had very little meat and were served a little cold. Still, the ambiance made it an enjoyable visit, and I’d be open to giving it another try.

We had an overall pleasant experience here. Our server was very nice, though we waited almost 10 mins for service once we sat down. The drinks were great. The menu was a bit challenging to understand, since we had never had Sonoran food, and were unsure how much to order. We ended up with 3 dishes and it was plenty of food. They brought us crispy tortillas and 2 bottles of salsa/sauce to start. I do wish there had been a bowl of salsa to make it easier to enjoy. We ordered these items: ceviche (unexpectedly spicy), guacamole (rather small but good, the tortillas are excellent.) and the chicken main (a huge portion of chicken) with accompaniments. Everything was very flavorful. Our chicken was not served hot, and another server noticed us and quickly remedied it by bringing us another within a few minutes. The cuisine is unique (beware of the spice if you don’t tolerate well) and the ambiance is really nice. The staff was very friendly.

The team at Pullman Market's Mezquite prepares delicious and expertly presented dishes. This welcoming spot provides an alternative to San Antonio's Tex-Mex food scene with offerings inspired by the cuisine of Sonora, Mexico. The dishes are beef-centric mesquite-grilled, and exceptional. Simple, fresh ingredients... and the team is friendly, thoughtful and clearly cares about hospitality.... be sure to ask for Jose. Highly recommend... cheers!

The food is different as it is Sonoran Mexico regional cuisine. I really liked the grilled chicken. It was amazing. They offer lots of salsas and even the flour tortillas were different as they were thinner and heavier than normal. It is a nice evening out but is a little pricey for Mexican food. They had musicians playing in the restaurant and a very nice atmosphere. The service was pretty slow but it was busy and we were a large party.
