We absolutely love this place! Everyone is always so sweet and welcoming Kasey always does an amazing job & extremely attentive she s a blast to be around she is a true treasure to this establishment we love her very much! Mari is always so polite & her costumer service is always top tier! Diana has also been our server on multiple occasions, we adore her & her kindness. We have had the pleasure to meet Resturant owner Raul and his son Dillon they are very kind & always have time for a quick chat always coming up to greet us and surrounding tables. There is never any rush we never feel unwelcomed & never had a bad experience. Food is always fresh & mouthing watering good! We had the 6 layer dip last night and whoaaaa talk about an explosion of flavor. We are very grateful to this team the food is amazing but this staff is what keeps us coming back weekly! Creamy poblano sauce for the win! We love you guys! Thanks for making us feel at home can t wait till next time!

Excellent food with a unique blend of tex-mex with hints of authentic flavors. The ambiance is great and the service is high quality the two times Ive been. The beef enchiladas with creamy poblano sauce are divine. Definitely give this place a try!!

The owner is amazing as well as everyone one of the staff. Jorge and his crew know what they are doing and run a good little unit together. Food is good and drinks are even better. (we like the El Jefes... my wife does a grito with olive juice bc shes fancy) If youre looking for a fun, loud, tasty environment this is it. Hidden Gem exactly!!!

3/2/24 Sat at bar. Rosa Linda was our bartender server. She was fantastic. Ordered carnita crispy tacos & they were huge & delicious. Chips n salsa was awesome too. The habanero salsa is sooo gooood. We actually took a pint home. The draft beer was very cold unlike most places in SA. The place was spotlessly clean and all the staff friendly & helpful. Nice job Ajuua!!! Cant wait to return. I wish there were photos on your website of the Sunday buffet? Wed 3/6/24 lunch Another great experience at the bar. Our waiter was Luis and he was awesome. Carnitas tacos were the best tacos Ive ever eaten. Bar none. Ajuua rocks Sat 3/9/24 Another outstanding visit. Pozole was simply over the top good. Chips with house salsa and also the habanero salsa. Crispy Carnitas tacos. This place is a true gem. All the staff are on top of their games. Andres was our bartender waiter today. He was awseome. Ajuua is the best authentic mex food in San Antonio. We have eaten at so many others here in SA and nothing comes close Sun 3/17 Came to try the buffet. Wouldnt do this one again. Sat 3/29 Back again. Rosa Linda was our bartender waitress. Wife had crispy el pastore taco but not much meat on it and no pineapple flavor. We both had carnita crispy taco & they were spot on as always. The draft beer was cold as always. Rosa Linda was her usual self. Great personality. Great service. We love Rosa. Two visits since Rosa left, neither were up to par. Today Melissa waited on us and not only was she spectacular but so were the tacos. We love the crispy tacos with carnita meat. Chips were not fresh but the house & habanero salsas were awesome. Melissa is a bit shy but we managed to bring her out of that and she is a hidden gem. WE LOVE AJUUA 6/29/24 Saturday Another awesome experience. Thank you Ajuua for the wonderful crispy carnitas tacos, wonderful salsa, cold beer, Jessica our bartender. She rocks July 6,24 visit Melissa was our bartender again. She was outstanding again as was the food. Beer cold as always. Ajuua rocks and Melissa is always on her game. Cant wait until our next visit. 7/21/24 Jessica was our bartender & waitress. Today. She was outstanding as always. The crispy Carnita tacos were just fantastic. Ajuua rocks. 7/25/24 Sat at bar for lunch. Bartender Luis was great as always. The house salsa was loaded with garlic. The Carnitas tasted very.different than normal, very sweet & little to no citrus flavor. Cook not following house recipes I guess. 7/28/24 Vivi was our bartender/waitress & she was outstanding. Vivi saved the day. We love the Carnitas at Ajuua but last two times garlic overpowered. Maybe a new cook? Ajuua rocks however so we will return. 8/8/24 Refried beans were really stron in cumin. Everything else was perfect. We love the crispy tacos, substuting carnitas for the meat. Beer always cold & service at the bar always outstanding. Today we had the pleasure of Jessicas service. Such a sweet heart that always delivers. We have never been disappointed at the bar. Melissa, Luis, Jessica, Vivi and all waiters at Ajuua are outstanding

Today I was at the restaurant enjoying the afternoon and eating a couple of dishes. I want to congratulate the waiter Omar, because he has been the only one who, during my visits to the restaurant, serves me cordially, always with a smile and great attention. I dont know if they earn enough, but they certainly deserve a good reward. Today there were only three waiters and they did excellent.

They got a pretty good mango margarita, and Vivi is hands down their best waitress! She carries the whole restaurant on her back sometimes, outperforming even her management and the owner, she s their best no doubt they re lucky to have her, the people notice it. Outstanding service, outstanding worker! And I repeat the mango margarita is pretty good

I have been a long time customer of Ajuua. I go as far back as Omar, and I remember Larry, the late GM fondly. I even remember Jorge as a Server. I would be remiss if I did not state my dissatisfaction with the majority of your current wait staff (yes! It matters) and even the representation of your general manager; Jorge. There is no need to shout at servers who are making a minuscule hourly wage. Or treat them as if they are disposable. Yes. Customers hear. Why are most of his family working there? For our USAA parties, it is obvious it is family first. If you think your customers are stupid, they are not. The children that replaced Bartenders: Adrian and Rachel are an embarrassment. Teach them to make and mix a drink and not to lick the straw. Your present hostesses stand and talk and have no interaction with customers. Your bus-person, Andrea who has been there for too many years spends her time gossiping . Twice, this week, I have dined at the restaurant and 3 of your staff members were singing in the area by the computers. You hear the cooks in the kitchen, screaming. This is entirely unprofessional. What matters is your customers. Table representation. Service. A smile. You have perhaps two or three servers that provide excellent service. There is the new young man, Jesus, and the mature woman, both are organized and go the extra mile. The rest are fit for Burger King. Make your wait staff as important as the delicious quality of your food.

First time here, there was nothing that we didn t like. This a Mexican restaurant not Tex mex. Everything is fresh, we started with fresh chips and salsa and queso flameado surprisedly delicious . For drinks we have margarita and Smirnoff spicy with tamarindo excellent! Entries: sizzling fajitas, roasted filled poblano and steak with enchilada in chipotle sauce. Generous portions and we ve tried their mole.. I have to take some home!! Authentic flavors. We ate it all. For grand finale we ordered churros with ice cream and flan so creamy! Kayse our server was excellent on point very friendly and sweet. We had the pleasure to meet their chef Roberto, we wanted to congratulate him for this excellent food experience. Sundays they have brunch. I was not expecting much but it is now one of my favorite places to eat Mexican food. Very highly recommended. They have an outdoor area with lots of fans so it doesn t get too hot in the evening. Parking: In Huebner common shopping center

On June 20, wife and I had a couple drinks (cold, cold beer), chips and salsa (chips tasted store bought, but salsa was great). I had chicken fajitas, which were tender and the pepper and onions were sautéed perfectly. Ive been to places where they were cooked so much they were flimsy and non-existent. My wife had the tacos nortenos, which she loved! The restaurant was mostly empty at dinner time, staff was wonderful and atmosphere was great. We went back for dinner on Friday, June 21, to see if the crowd picked up and it was packed! Inside and on the patio. Staff were very busy and still friendly and attentive, we didnt wait more than 10 minutes to be seated. I had bean and cheese chalupas, which were stacked with cheese and tomato so I loved not having to request more cheese. Rice and borracho beans were good. My wife had the tres amigos enchilada plate. Only thing she did not like was the overwhelming cilantro in the verde sauce enchilada. Her favorite of the 3 was the chipotle cream sauce. Both nights they had a couple mariachis, but they even played house of the rising sun for someone, I was surprised! We enjoyed our visits and will definitely be back.

I have been coming to Ajuua for almost 10 years now and it is hands down my favorite Mexican food in San Antonio! Not only is the food amazing but the service is outstanding! Kasey is amazing and always gives such incredible service! She is so personable and just makes the whole experience awesome!! The one troubling thing I have noticed now the past few times I have been there is that the general manager has tables. Not only does he have tables but takes large parties. I think this is unfair to the hardworking waiters and waitresses that rely on tips! They have plenty of staff to cover the tables so it is very troubling that the manager is taking tables away from the staff.

I picked up so I don t know how the inside is but hopefully the food is better if you go in. The service was good but that was the worst taco salad ever. I asked for salsa and it came with chips too but it was hot. I ve never seen a Mexican restaurant use romaine lettuce either. The chips that came with the awful salsa weee awful as well. Sorry but I m being honest.

I hate doing this, but I have to be honest. When you re in San Antonio, there are expectations for Mexican food. We ordered fajitas for two so we could build our own fajita bowls and tacos and were disappointed because the tortillas, chips, and even the queso tasted store-bought. The food was very underwhelming. The guacamole was excellent, to be fair, but otherwise, very bland in taste. The service was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly. But we will not be coming back.

I enjoyed Ajuúa, its in a convenient location, the food and drinks are great as well. The service can be hit or miss sitting outside our waitress was spread thin so when we werent ordering drinks we had to flag her down for the check other than that their wait staff has been pretty attentive. Its hard to go wrong ordering off their menu but one appetizer that pleasantly surprised me were their wings I would usually never think to order them from a Mexican restaurant but no exaggeration they were top notch.

Chips and salsa, blah. Salsa was warm and no flavor. First, lunch serving is very small. Chilled Rellano was not traditional, first they brought me chicken instead of picadillo. Then forgot my fork. Did not care for Chille Relleno. Looked like a creamy avacado sauce over the top. I usually judge a Mexican restaurant by its Chille Relleno. They failed. Update, decided try again. I must say, they have the best Cuban I have had in San Antonio. So they now get 4 stars. We will see whats next.

I just recently had a surprise bday party for my husband here and I cant say enough about the service, food and atmosphere. The party was in the back patio area which was perfect. Patio area was large enough for about 40 of our guest the buffet setup, a dj and plenty of room for dancing. There were other customers on the other side however, the patio is large enough to where it still felt spacious. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the food and kept saying they would definitely be returning. Staff was so friendly and very helpful with everything from helping to decorate to making sure all the guests had what they needed. Jorge the manager made sure everything was on point and asked if anything was needed throughout the evening as well as the owner Raul who also came out and helped his staff which says a lot. All the drinks were delicious especially the margaritas. I highly recommend Ajuua especially for any parties you may be thinking of having.

My sister, brother and I ordered the enchiladas. We each ordered a different sauce - the chipotle, poblano, and cilantro lime - so we could share! Oh my! We had a hard time deciding on our favorite! Miranda was our server! Her professionalism and kindness made our visit even more special! We love Ajuua!

This is my 2nd time coming here for Sunday brunch. To be honest, both times the restaurant was half empty, which it s never a good sign. The service was ok, it s buffet after all and you serve yourself, but the waitress checked on me 3 or 4 times, which it s good. Be aware coffee, iced tea or any other drink are not included in the buffet price, which it s $14.95 +tax per adult. Not a bad price for buffet. Here s what I liked: pozole, despite being watery and having lots of corn, the flavor was excellent. Oh, and they only have little cups for it, no bowls at all. So if you re lucky, you ll get 4 pieces of meat in that little cup. Haha! If you really like pozole, you may need 2 cups of it and make sure you don t get all corn and no meat. No diced onions or peppers to accompany it though. No oregano either. Chile relleno was really good, they only have the cheese kind, not ground beef, but they were really, really good. Chicken mole was also good, small pieces of chicken (bone-in) though but mole sauce was really good. Fried beans had good flavor. Papas con chorizo were good, but cold, ugh. Rice pudding was ok. Salsa roja, salsa verde & pico de gallo were good. Green salad was good. Did not see any salad dressing though. What I didn t like: egg dishes were cold, same with other dishes I tried last time. Bacon strips were chewy. Carnitas were chewy and had no flavor. Barbacoa was nothing special. Tortillas are cold, it d be much better if the waitress brought tortillas to your table, in a tortilla warmer pouch or a tortilla warmer server( tortillero), that way they re not cold when you try making tacos with them. Mexican rice had no flavor. I didn t try all their dishes and not sure if I ll come back for brunch again honestly.

Once we got there, we got greeted not by a hostess but by a guy peddling authentic mexican jewelry. One hostess was running the show, then another college-aged girl appears on the podium and informs us that the wait time to be seated would be 25 minutes. I reminded her that in the 3 minutes that I had been standing all 3 parties before us got seated in a matter of minutes and I wasnt going to wait 25 minutes for so-called mexican food. We were seated immediately after this interaction. Once we got our order in, the food didnt take that long to arrive at our table. The quality of what we ordered( chalupas, steak chimichurri, and flautas) was terrible. Our bill was close to $70 dollars. My review is as follows: food is overrated and overpriced, its a terribly small location, and the wait staff is terrible. No wonder they have on their billboard a sign indicating that they are currently hiring. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

Great staff, great management, great location and prices are good as well. I saw people enjoying a baby shower, amazing drinks like margaritas. I went to try the food because I wanted to have a party there in the future because they have this big patio and it s covered so it would be ideal if weather was not ideal. I think they are reasonable but just for my tastebuds it s not authentic Mexican food and I think it s fine but if your looking for Mexican cuisine it may not meet your expectations. I really wanted to like the food. I ordered the fajitas and did not enjoy nor did I enjoy the hot sauce. When I eat Mexican food I generally eat a lot of hot sauce any kind hot or mild just love hot sauce. But I did not care for it. Chips were good and the other dishes looked like they were probably delicious. I lived in San Antonio all my life so I could be harder to please. I just paid my bill and left.

I cant have enough of the caldo de res, the pozole is great, and Ive had their house salad, Ensalada Ajuúa al Carbon, with the poppy seeds dressing and its a regular order of mine now. A shout out to Rosalinda the Assistant Manager who has such great customer service! I definitely recommend Ajuúa! for your night out to a Mexican restaurant with family or friends. Enjoy!

Several friends and I recently had a large celebration for a local cycling group this past Sunday at Ajuua. We knew we could easily have over 100 people so we reserved the whole patio which is completely separate from the main dining area. It was closed in since it was a bit chilly out. Our party started at 11:30am but we were allowed to come in early to decorate. The staff had already had the tables nicely arranged with silverware in each place setting and included a couple of extra tables for a cake. The restaurant has a screen and projector to use and we ran a slideshow through a computer. Dillon was extremely helpful knowing what we needed to hook it up. It worked perfectly. We were allowed to stay for several hours, take pics, eat and mingle. Once everyone was done we all were allowed to pay separately for the brunch buffet. This is unheard of for such a large group, with NO contract. The lunch buffet was shared with the main area, the food was good with many options to pick from. Rosalinda the Asst Manager personally introduced herself and asked us if we needed anything. Dillon, RosaLinda, the wait staff were all very helpful and attentive. The waitstaff even helped with clean up. I would highly recommend Ajuua if you have a group celebration. They made it easy and were very accommodating! Thank you!

5 STARS all around!!!! This is our new favorite restaurant for some traditional Tex-Mex cuisine! This restaurant is about a good half hour drive away from our home, but we do not care because every single time, This spot never disappoints, and they have an amazing happy hour! Their food is always so tasteful, and hot! The drinks are delicious, and every time we go the staff is always so kind and tentative. It does get packed pretty quickly, so I will try to get there early for happy hour. We are just always so happy when we leave this establishment!

We planned a birthday party for a large party of 45 friends here. It was a wonderful time! the service was amazing. The food was incredible. Ajuua did the buffet, drinks, and were very attentive to all our guests. The prices were very managable for a big party. We would definitely highly recommend them. Kid-friendliness: We had 12 kids in the party and they loved the food and enjoyed the atmosphere.

Post Celiac Disease Diagnosis (reviewed 2023): I am asymptomatic celiac, so wont be able to tell you if Ive been cross contaminated. Before diagnosis, we were here all the time--the food is wonderful! Finally got the courage to come here and ask if there is anything GF. They have a GF menu, now! I have attached a photo. The waiter knew exactly what I was talking about, and ran back to verify with the chef (and to grab the GF menu). There is NO dedicated fryer, so do not eat the chips, nor anything fried. The salsa uses chicken stock that uses wheat. The white rice is not plain rice, but its their rice with corn and (I think) cilantro, which I preferred before diagnosis. --------------- Pre Celiac Disease Diagnosis (reviewed cerca 2017): Everything Ive tried on the menu is fantastic. Cheese enchiladas with Chipotle cream sauce is my go-to dish. Easily my favorite Mexican restaurant. Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free

We hosted our holiday work party for 50 people on 12/14. From beginning to end the Ajuua team was amazing. Jorge and Steven helped us set up our reservation, spoke to us about lunch options and how to best set up the tables. On the day of the event our section of the restaurant was ready to go by 11. The place was decked out with holiday lights and with a pretty tree. It looked very festive. Our teams arrived by 12:30 and the waitstaff was ready. They were friendly, efficient and courtesy. The food arrived promptly and was delicious! Everyone cleaned their plates. The lunch specials were priced right and had a good portion of food. We had a great experience at Ajuua and highly recommend you check them out. We will be back! Gracias!

Had lunch here yesterday and the food was Great!!! Beth was the hostess again and Destiny was our server! Excellent customer service!! Will definitely return again and would definitely recommend. I had grilled chicken with creamy sauce on the side and Mexican rice and refried beans. Hubby had Beef enchiladas with red chile sauce, refried beans, Mexican rice and tortilla soup. We also had tortilla chips and salsa. Since I was in the area near this place, I decided to try out their food. This is a very welcoming and hospitable place. I was greeted as soon as I walked in by the lady at the register. She offered me cold water while I waited to order. She stated all the food there was authentic Mexican food and tasted good. I ordered 2 Big Shot Burritos with ground beef, Mexican cheese, refried beans, Mexican rice, guacamole, Mexican Crema, an order of Chile-Lime Fish Tacos and an order of Flan. Each Big Shot Burrito were enough food for 2 people. The Chile-Lime Fish Tacos came with cilantro rice and black beans. This is the best tasting authentic Mexican food my hubby and I have ever had. The food was well seasoned and the portions were ample and the prices were very reasonable. The Manager was very kind when I added the flan after the fact. The Waiter came out with my food and stated he double wrapped the black beans and to be careful they were placed on the side of all else in bag. He even offered to walk with me to carry out order. We have just found the best locally authentic testing Mexican food here in San Antonio, Tx. Will definitely return again and certainly recommend to others. The wait for orders was very quick. The food was excellent. Would definitely return and would definitely recommend.

Trying to find a last minute brunch place that sat a group of 10 people inside. I called before they opened and a lady answered. She answered all my questions and was very pleasant to speak with. When we got there she was our server and did amazing. She explained the buffet to us and was on top of everything. The food was great and everyone had something to eat from the buffet. I was so happy that everything turned out great.

A friend took me here for lunch this afternoon. Since it was in the afternoon, it was nice and quiet. I was intrigued by an item called Enchiladas Tres Amigos! It is a concept that they should patent. It is three enchiladas, each with a different sauce. One was a cheese sauce, the second was a regular sauce, and the third was a tomatillo green sauce. I enjoyed it, although I wish they would add a little more on the rice and beans side.

Every dish I tried was bursting with authentic Mexican flavors, and the variety on their menu was beyond impressive. Whether it was the sizzling fajitas, the cheesy quesadillas, or the mouthwatering tacos, each bite was filled with pure deliciousness. And lets not forget about their delectable salsa and guacamole which were the perfect accompaniments to their scrumptious dishes! Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was exceptional too. The staff at AJUA Mexican Restaurant were so friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. They were always ready to answer any questions I had and suggested dishes that suited my taste preferences. What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the restaurants decor. The vibrant colors, traditional artwork, and beautiful Mexican motifs created a warm and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like a mini getaway, transporting me to Mexico with every step I took inside!
