So delicious! We have been looking for a new regular place and this place hit the spot. The owners were so nice and welcoming, we had the enchiladas and the carne guisada which were so good. Tortillas were perfect and the chips and salsa were also delicious. Can’t wait to come back!

Really good food. I got the barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas with a side of charro beans and they were so amazing. Not from San Antonio but I would love to come back just to get an authentic taco like I had here.

The aroma of sizzling meats and freshly made Mexican ranchero sauce filled the air, instantly whetting our appetites.The menu boasted a delightful array of authentic Mexican dishes, each bursting with flavor and made with the freshest ingredients. Our taste buds danced with joy as we savored every bite of the delicious tripa tacos, zesty enchiladas, rice, beans, and flavorful hot sauce. Each dish was a true masterpiece, showcasing the culinary expertise and passion of the talented chef.What truly set this restaurant apart, however, was the exceptional customer service we received. Karen took exceptional care of us went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfection. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel like honored guests throughout our meal.To top it all off, the ambiance was cozy and inviting, and it was quiet enough to actually have conversation.

On a date with my hubby we were impressed with our brunch dining experience. We had the tripa tacos, they were crispy, clean, and delicious! We also shared the Enchilada plate, they were some of the best in the city, the cheese ? was so good with the gravy, everything was so yummy. The owners were welcoming and had humor as they took care of their customers! The experience was really very pleasant. Their little boy came right in and started working ? hard, cleaning tables ... I love to see kids taking pride and having a great work ethic at such a young age ! They are OPEN 7 am-10 PM Monday-Sunday. Thank you for a pleasant dining experience very quaint!

As I walked in I went straight to the bathroom as my family waited, so I don't know how the greeting/welcome was, and as I came out we were seated. When asked what we would like to drink order for 2 cokes and 2 waters was made. 3 Mexican cokes and a water came out. I do like Mexican coke so I did not refuse. When food was ordered, my mom asked for just a puffy taco and I asked for a mole enchiladas plate. When food came out I had a regular enchiladas plate and my mom received a puffy taco plate. I was hungry and mole or not it was the same price so again I didn't say anything. My mom asked for correction of her plate, just the puffy taco as she would not eat all the food nor did we want to pay for food that would not be eaten and was not ordered. The plate was taken, and the single taco was brought back. The food was very good. Chicken quesadilla, a puffy taco, enchiladas, and asada mini tacos ordered and the only food complaint was the onions on the tacos were half cooked, half raw. Paid the check and left. Upon leaving Mom reminded me about the puffy taco and now looking at the menu, it seems that I was still charged for a full puffy taco plate. Normally I would give a break for mistakes but the restaurant was empty, and there was no music playing. If you want good food, this place has it, but word of advice. Double check your order, and double check your bill.
