“ First, the chips and salsa brought to our table pre-meal were terrific. Be careful not to overdo on these perfectly prepared tostadas. I ordered the chilaquiles on the Sunday brunch menu. Fantastically prepared. My sister had the fish tacos. They pecked salt and perhaps the slaw underpowered the dish. Adding green salsa really spiked the flavor. Great service and love the Tlaquepague style ambiance. I look forward to trying more items at Mezquite. ”
“ The bar at Mezquite is so beautiful. It really sets the mood for the cocktails & cuisine offered, taking you straight to Sonora. The barstools were not the most comfortable, which kept us from staying for a second round, but I am wishing we had! The Midnight in Mexico was a striking cocktail-- rich flavors with the Cupreata Mezcal, earthily spiced with the Fernet-Vallet, and some kick with a hint of Ancho. It was one to sip and savor. Highly recommend if you like a Mezcal forward beverage. ”
“ Gorgeous space inside Pullman Market! Love the decor and the huge tropical plants in this restaurant. Beautiful, large bar in the front of the restaurant. Good drinks!! like other reviews said, maybe there's a little wait for them when they're busy, but you can wait/hang out and even be served in their lounge area (They have full service in the lounge and super comfortable chairs!). Food comes out very quickly from their kitchen. It's pretty hard to get a table during the weekend nights at 7 pm, but we've noticed on Friday and Saturdays at 5:30/6 there is space in the lounge area or you can make a reservation if you want a table. We liked their nachos, guacamole, carne asada tacos (3 street taco sized tacos per order), margaritas and side of ranch beans. I saw some reviews saying the prices were too high, but the food is really amazing and the restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend if you're a bit hungry/thirsty before or after Pullman market. Don't miss the little gift shop next door as you exit Pullman! ”
“ Beautiful new sit down restaurant inside of the Pullman Market space. We came for a weekday lunch and were quickly greeted and seated. Our server suggested some favorites and we ended up with barbacoa tacos (she said it's some of the best barbacoa in SA!), a carne asada carmela, and a side of charro beans. The chips and salsa to start were great! The chips were a little greasy, but so crisp and well seasoned. Food was awesome. Meats were tender and really flavorful. The guac on top of the tacos added a refreshing balance to the richness of the barbacoa. And it was nice that the carmela came with a side of pickled? Sauteed? Onions to cut through all the cheese. However it was the freshly made Sonoran tortillas that really set everything apart. The charro beans were a good side, the beans weren't cooked to mush and had a nice bite. We'll probably be back! We've been loving all the new eating options at Pullman Market ”
“ We went to @nicosi_satx @pullmanmarket this past Thursday night for date night and though we were full from all the fantastic desserts, we felt we should eat some protein. Hubby and I went to the bar area which served select items from @mezquite_satx. We were served the complimentary chips and salsa and tried their Barbacoa Tacos. One order came with 3 tacos which was enough for us to share. It was plenty of meat but I was a little disappointed that it wasn't more moist. Perhaps it was an off night. The calabacitas and guacamole should have been what we tried as the reviews were raving for those items. Maybe next time. Hubby found free parking on Newell. There is a parking lot behind @pullmanmarket and your ticket can be validated for 2 hours. ”
“ Mezquite at The Pearl provided a great dining experience, with its prime location inside the Pullman Market and remarkable ambiance. Our meal was exceptional, with each dish showcasing its unique flavors. We savored every bite of the guacamole, aguachiles verde, elote, flautas de pollo, carne asada, & tres leches cake. The paloma I ordered was one of best I've had in town. The service was also great. Additionally, they offer validated parking and both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a perfect choice for a date night or special occasion. ”
“ We tried a few dishes here, and overall, it was a really solid experience! Don't expect the typical SA Tex-Mex fare here. Their concept is based on the Sonoran region of Mexico, so the food is quite different than the Mexican food we are used to in San Antonio. (the caramelos described below are basically Sonoran-style quesadillas) Caramelos Champiñón - Wow, these were amazing! Mushrooms, spinach, Oaxaca cheese, and bell peppers all came together perfectly. There's this mysterious smoky flavor that totally elevates it - way better than the carnitas version, IMO. Caramelos Carnitas - the carnitas were really moist and juicy; there were no complaints. But they didn't quite stand up to the champiñón ones, which had that unforgettable smoky vibe. The service was great, and the staff was super friendly and attentive. The place was also really clean, which I always appreciate. Tres Leches Cake - The cake was super moist, but the frosting was just a little too rich for my taste. Still enjoyable, though! They have a full bar, including liquor, beer, and wine. We will definitely come back for more of those caramelos champiñón! ”
“ Though I have been to the Pullman on a couple of occasions - I had yet to eat at any of their restaurants so gave Mesquite a try. Love the big open concept and service was fast and attentive. They brought out chips to get us started and they were warm and delicious and not the typical Sysco finest. We paired them with guac which was fresh but underwhelming - needed some additional seasoning; but the standard here was the Calabacitas which was incredible! I had the Negro Aguachilis - it was fresh and flavorful but I expected it to pack more of a punch with the citrus and habanero- and the black sauce was a little off putting and added nothing to the overall flavor! I did like it and would return but was kit blown away by the dishes! Well priced however and location / service were fantastic ”
