" El Manantial truly is a gem of a restaurant. The authenticity shines through in every bite. My husband and I loved their carne asada tacos; it was the best we've had in San Antonio! The service was quick, and the wait staff were genuinely kind. It’s a place we'll surely be back to indulge in the flavors of Mexico. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the vibe at El Manantial! The upbeat atmosphere and friendly staff really add to the experience. I always get their carne asada, it’s juicy and savory! Can't wait to go back next week because I'm already craving it again. Keep up the great work! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an unfortunate encounter on this visit. The food didn't meet my expectations based on past experiences. I ordered the menudo, but it arrived cold and lacked the depth of flavor I remember. What was a tendon should have been hearty beef. It’s a shame because I really liked this place before. I hope this was just a fluke. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to El Manantial was an overall average experience. The food was decent, but I expected more flavor from the tacos. They also charged for extra tortillas, which felt a bit stingy considering the prices. The service was okay, but I noticed the waitstaff seemed overwhelmed during peak hours. I might give them another chance for breakfast in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have never had better menudo in my life! The flavors were rich and warm, just like my abuela used to make. Moreover, the waitstaff was attentive, and the ambiance felt very welcoming. I can't wait to return on a Saturday for their karaoke; it sounds like a lot of fun based on the reviews I’ve heard! Definitely a hidden gem in San Antonio! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise El Manantial enough! The enzymes in their chilaquiles are beyond words! The fresh corn tortillas are a real treat, and the hot sauce has just the right kick. The staff were unbelievably welcoming, making our dining experience smooth. Highly recommend this place for an authentic meal that doesn’t break the bank! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed with the quality of my meal. I had the taco platter that was just average. None of the flavors stood out, and I felt it was a bit overpriced for what I received. Service wasn't bad but not outstanding either. A 2 for this visit. " (*Curated Review*)
