Our Story

A Somerset Rd favorite, one plate at a time.

Tucked into San Antonio's south side, La Mal Querida has quietly become the neighborhood's go-to stop for authentic Mexican food — the kind customers say they can taste is made from scratch with fresh ingredients, bite after bite.

Regulars keep finding new reasons to come back: fast, friendly service from a team reviewers call impressive and attentive, generous lunch specials, and a menu of homemade classics that one guest summed up as nothing short of top marks across the board.

Whether you're stopping in for an early breakfast taco before work or settling in with the family for a weekend plate, guests leave calling La Mal Querida their new go-to — and telling everyone else to come try it too.
