Frommer's Review
When Lisa Wong (Rosario) and Bruce Auden (Biga), two longtime darlings of
the San Antonio dining scene, collaborate on a restaurant, you figure the
food and the atmosphere are going to be creative. Their "modern Tex-Mex"
fare and the seemingly endless series of wildly colorful dining rooms (one
on the river) in which it's served don't disappoint. In fact, both the food
and the service exceed expectations, given the (over) size of this place and
the crowds that immediately began to throng to it.
It's hard to go wrong with any of the dishes, but standouts include the
buttermilk-fried oysters, served on yucca chips with jalapeņo honey mayo;
the entomatadas, tacos filled with chicken and sweet potatoes and
topped with roasted chiles and Mexican cheese; and the duck chorizo chalupas
with cabbage lime slaw. My adventurous friends tell me the cabrito
(goat) with arbol chiles is delicious, but I wanted to try the incredibly
rich Mexican chocolate mousse. You can eat well and leave very solvent if
you go for anything except the more expensive specialty dishes, but they're
definitely worth a splurge.
