Fuentes Cafe Downtown - Grape Creek

Delicious! The staff is amazing, the food is delicious, and the environment is relaxing. Shout out to Darla for being a top-notch waiter ?? ?

This is my favorite restaurant in San Angelo. When I say everything on the menu is delicious, I sincerely mean it.

The brisket queso was great! Great location downtown and cool old building, but… the beef carnitas was served raw. I ordered medium and this was beyond rare… it was cold raw beef folks. They made me another one but we were already on the way out the door because everyone else finished eating at our table. I was still charged for my dish, but I didn’t say anything because that should be a proactive gesture from a restaurant when a situation likes this happens.

Before I start I would like to say that the waiter was really good. When I went to the restaurant they sat myself and the family in a room off to the side where there was nobody there. There were tables available in the main area. I sat there and finally figured out that the only people in the main area where white. Not sure what’s going on there but I could give a really good gues. They started sitting people there only after I asked, what was the reason that I was sat at the timeout area, which I didn’t really get a truthful answer. As for the food it was ok at best. I would not go there unless you like the segregation. Mr Fuentes, I hope your restaurant has many more years to come. All I’m commenting about is the perception of three people sitting there. As I stated before several people were in the main seating area and we were the only ones seated in the overflow, extra room or whatever it is called. When I asked even the waiter said I’ll ask why. I was told that there is a rotation. Several people in the main seating area and only one family in the empty separate room did not make sense. I sat there and watched more people get seated in the main area after I was already seated. Yes I was given the opportunity to move after I said something about it. Please don’t question my character as you don’t know me. I simply stated what we saw and felt. And as I stated before your waiter was really good and he is the only reason why we just didn’t get up and leave. If you knew that I had such a question while you were there as the owner, you or your manager could have came out and cleared it up but you chose to ignore it. I might not be in that business but I am a customer. Have a great night and I wish you and your restaurant the very best.

The food here is always top notch. They can cook with the best of the restaurants in the San Angelo area. They have a more open design for seating. This gives you a better feel of space instead of just feeling jammed into a small space while trying to enjoy your food. The wait staff is always polite and responsive. The food took a little longer this time than usual and it was slow lunch time. So this was unusual and why I am giving them a 4 out of 5 on service. Parking: Location is in downtown San Angelo, so it is timed parking during the work days but it is a 3 hr limit before ticketed. It is street parking. There is a free parking garage that is in the middle of downtown, but it isn't too close but not too far from Fuentes. Wheelchair accessibility: There is corner street access for wheelchairs to get on the sidewalk and it is a flat entryway to get in the restaurant
