Every one is welcome and greeting all the time. The food is so delicious, super tasty, and fresh. They prep you w some tostadas and crackers and few salsa options.

First time at this location, plenty of parking available. The place is clean, plenty of sitting, and always playing Mexican music. The micheladas are excellent, and so is the food. Good experience and good customer service.

Mexican seafood! Top rate stuff. Seviche that's so good you don't mind the spice. I also had mixed seafood enchiladas, with octopus, shrimp, and fish. It's a family style place, and on Sunday the place was packed, but the servers are very helpful, and the food is worth the crowd.

Hadn't been at this Bucanero location and I like it better than the one off 281 and Bitters. The food is very delicious . The atmosphere was great with good music and staff very attentive polite and respectful. I relay like that the kids plates included fries with every entree. Makes it easier than having to order fries on the side. My kids loved it. Definitely recommend 5/5

I don’t think I’ve shared a review for this restaurant yet. I’ve dined here a couple of times, and if I recall correctly, my first visit didn’t quite meet expectations—though it’s worth noting the place was fairly new to the San Antonio scene at the time. Each visit has offered a different experience, but one thing that’s remained consistent is the restaurant’s vibrant atmosphere. I had completely forgotten—there was a live Mariachi band playing as we walked in, which added so much energy to the place. We were seated immediately at a booth, with no wait at all. The booth itself was really unique, featuring artwork that made it feel like we were underwater. The menu is heavily seafood-focused, but I opted for the mini tacos, which came with toppings and pinto beans. They were absolutely delicious! I also treated myself to a high-end cucumber beverage that paired perfectly with the tacos. All in all, it was a great visit. We enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the service.
