“ I'm used to having rude waitresses , this experience was the opposite ! The ladies treated my husband and I with the upmost respect and positive energy! The food is awesome ! My camera quality doesn't do it justice ”
“ This place is really unknown to everyone I know. It isn't saying a lot since my best friends are my wife and food. This place has a good selection of food and a happy hour that will shave some dollars off the ticket. The food is decent compared to every other Mexican restaurant in the area. Friendly and accommodating staff. Karaoke on Friday. Kind of a cool spot. ”
“ Love coming to this restaurant every now and then with some co-workers because their food is off the chain . I usually get the Claudia's Special, but today I tried their Barbacoa plate and whoa! I was blown away with deliciousness. It's a nice restaurant, great atmosphere, and they also have an outside patio with tables and chairs. They also have a nice selection of beers on the fridge to go with a nice meal. I gotta give it to these gals, everytime I come here, they never fail. ”
“ Claudia is a true gem. It's not often that customers are treated to service as sincere and as high-quality as we found at Claudia's Restaurant #2. We were met at the door with an exceptionally friendly greeting and promptly seated. To my surprise, the greeter and waitress turned out to be the owner herself, Claudia. Both Claudia's smile and cheerful disposition were contagious as she quickly had my tired, hungry family smiling, feeling relaxed, and welcomed. The food was good. Claudia explained that everything was homemade. That all of our plates were promplty emptied had as much to do with the quality of the food as the serving size. So while the food was good, there is loads of very good Tex-Mex in San Antonio. There are also plenty of places that are fancier. What really sets this place apart is Claudia herself. I'd be surprised to find a location with better service. No one in my family cared how fancy the tables or chairs were, or were not. A year from now, no one will remember what the silverware was like. However, it's not likely any of us will forget meeting Claudia, who felt like true friend by the time we left. Nor will we forget being made to feel at home for a few minutes of an otherwise busy and stressful day. One note: We almost did not catch that gratuity was automatically added to our bill because there are 5 members of our family. At first, we double tipped Claudia, who deserved a tip that gracious. Unfortunately, we simply can not afford to be as kind as our hearts wished. We hated to do it, but we had to ask Claudia to help us with the refund, which she did. ”
“ Add a Mexican dish it was delicious I had a chicken taco with enchiladas with meat and sauce and some delicious chips with warm salsa and a large iced. This is a very famous place a lot of people that are from the San Antonio Spurs team go here and support her son that is in the Olympics you will run into some spurs team mem and the food is delicious ”
