“This is one of my favorite places to eat. It is hard to find healthy, quality vegan food. Everything on the menu is so delicious and made from scratch. You can’t beat the pricing anywhere for the quality you get. Even my non vegan friends love the food. They are also always so friendly and hospitable too. Highly recommend this place!“

“The ambiance on the patio was amazing and the food was superb. I got an enchilada with spinach and sundried tomatoes that was recommended by the server and my husband got the skirt steak, which she also recommended. Both were excellent. The drinks also did not disappoint. I had never had a Mexican martini (I'm a vodka dirty martini gal) and it was very, very good. My husband said their top shelf margarita was the best he's had in a long time. We're visiting from out of state and came here on a whim on a Friday night with no reservation and though it was very busy we only waited about a half an hour for an outdoor patio spot. Highly recommend!“

“We had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Maria a week ago and they invited to their restaurant. They told us about how original their food was and that customers were invited to make their own combinations. We arrived to find a menu and an off menu menu created by return customers. It was amazing! We had a very hard week and this meal not only fed our bellies but our souls. Everything is homemade and it shows. This charming restaurant is a must go! Do yourself a favor and come to Maria's!“

“Well, we’re over from England celebrating my 70th birthday and the meal here this evening was easily the best by far. It will not and cannot be exceeded for the rest of our three week trip. The rib-eye was so well cooked and the mushrooms were elevated to a flavour level that I didn’t think mushrooms could reach. My wife’s fish tacos were equally as wonderful and have been recorded as having reached legendary status. Edward the chef and joint owner has a superb palate and clearly knows how to put a dish together. We’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning. If we weren’t we’d be back. Too late to change our plans. What a shame.Just go and go again. This has been the highlight of dining out not just of this trip but perhaps of all time.“

“Absolutely wonderful dining experience. the moment we walked in we were greeted by Shana who was so welcoming and friendly. Carla our waitress was extremely attentive and followed up during the meal to make sure everything was to our liking and came back to refill beverages. She explained the menu and made wonderful suggestions. Tania stopped by our table to greet us and to offer dining suggestions as well. She enticed us and made it so much more difficult to make a decision so for a table of 4 we ordered the nachos, tuna totopos , queso, guacamole and then my husband ordered the grilled fish, and 2 of us had the barbacoa tacos and another person had the chicken enchiladas. We also had 3 desserts! EVERYTHING was exquisite! I have never had better barbacoa! It is tender and absolutely perfectly seasoned! The chicken in the enchiladas was also beautifully seasoned. I would have just loved it on a salad ! My husband LOVED the fish and sauce and the white rice and the salad/dressing.We are in town from Dallas and will be going back before we leave! Please open Carriqui in Dallas/Plano ... We had one little hick-up which didn't matter much to me because I did not need the tortillas but the corn tortillas fell apart when we went to pick them up! We ate the tacos with a fork. Suggest that be addressed but other than that everything was perfection! We will be back before we head home!“

“Been coming to Plazas since I was 8-10 years old.Best restaurant ever. No other like it!!!Food is absolutely AMAZING. Prices are PERFECT.Service is out of this world!!!Big shout out to the owners and the ones behind the kitchen.Had the best breakfast tacos this morning as well!!“

“Came here to eat Breakfast at 10AM on a Sunday , The place is a little small. But the food is delicious,Eva’s is a real Authentic Mexican restaurant. This isn’t Tex-Mex. Eva’s is an Authentic Mexican restaurant & they don’t play around in the Kitchen. I ordered 3 tacos Of Beef Fajita, 1 Taco de Asada , & 1 of Barbacoa. And they were delicious, and very filled with Meat. I’ve also ordered 3 Small Menudos & they were very tasty. I recommend everyone to come check out Eva’s, it’s also a lot cheaper compared to other Restaurants.“

“In town for a few days and Garcia’s was just a few minutes walk from where we stayed. Grabbed 5 breakfast tacos to go and it was only $16. Everything was incredible and they included a ton of good hot sauce and pico. The brisket and machacado tacos were insanely good!“

“Had a whole trip planned frpm austin that was going wrong in every way. Birthday weekend for my daughter and I felt like i failed in making it right. We found this spot and it started to change my horrible morning into something good. The service was amazing chorizo migas...no greasy chorizo and perfectly crispy tortillas for the midas. It's a older hole in the wall so the building doesn't give much but the people and food make up for it 10fold. Thank you to this staff for helping me feel better.“

“stop by today on Sunday at a relative come from North Texas for the weekend so we decided to go eat at El Milagrito Cafe,The Food was delicious as was the service with a smile our waitress was Lily very polite and prompt with the coffee,if in the area stop by and check it out!“

“This is my neighborhood restaurant. Service is always great here and I'm always excited to be back! The food is always delicious and fresh! I honestly think they probably have one of the best bean and cheese tacos in town. I don't think I've ever had a bad meal here. Don't sleep on this place!!!!!!“

“Every time I've been to San Antonio, I've always stopped here. I'm not typically a fan of mexican food, but this just hits differently. The decoration inside is so fun. Now one part I dislike is the fact that I can't avoid the bakery. The baked items are so good. I love Mi Tierra.“

“This restaurant is in the heart of downtown and beautiful. The food is delicious. Parking is hard to find when it's busy. There are two parking lots you pay with your phone if you're lucky enough to park in the restaurants small parking lot. Consider yourself lucky.Parking: We parked across the street on a Thursday night and paid with our phone as the free parking was full.“

“I would like to thank Mohammad & Staff with Casa Sol. We had called around to different resturants looking for deals for Admin Day. The minute Mohammad called me back he went over and beyond to make our event extra speacil. He even offered to loan their resturant plates and I did not need returned them washed. I told him thank you paper plates were fine. Asked the order to be ready by 11:30 it was ready for pick up by 11am. The food was excellent and hot and ready to serve. Our staff was very impressed with the meal. Beef Enchildas, Jalapeno Enchilada(best in town), rice,beans,beef & chicken fajitas, tortllias, sald and guac. Thank you Again Mohammad. Will be contacting you for more events.“

“Ordered the super nachos (steak, queso, onions and bell peppers) and it was super amazing! I was surprised lol. It came with a side of guac, sour cream and Jalepenos for like $10, and the portion was large. These are definitely the best nachos I've had in San Antonio. The only drawback is that the stack, onions and bell peppers are sliced into long strips, not diced, so it can be a little hectic eating it.“

“Arrive early to get a table, it fills up quick. Coffee refill on point. I ordered the carne guisada taco, crispy chicharron with egg and a chorizo and bean taco. Amazing flavor and portions. The corn tortillas are handmade and taste amazing! Watch out for their salsa ranchera, super hot!“

“Our server was on her ps & qs! She took care of us as fast as possible. They were out of barbacoa when we came so we were all sad to hear that! I resorted to the brisket plate, meat was dry and plate said potatoes not potato salad. I still ate the plate because it was delicious regardless of the things I would have changed. The space is really small so try to keep your party small. The wait was quick and we were seated in less than 15 minutes of arriving!“

“This is my favorite place to get tacos. I rate based on how well the Bean and Cheese taste. If you can’t make a good bean and cheese are you even a Mexican restaurant. This is the spot to be at. Rosy the cashier is the sweetest lady ever. The Green salsa is the best I dip my taco that sauce. Must try you won’t be disappointed.“

“We had the carne guisada and the beef quesadillas, which both come with rice, beans and home-made tortillas and Nachos. The tortillas are the best I‘ve ever eaten!! And the carne was soft and muy deliciosO. Drinks are also really big. You get so much good food for amazing prices. Most of the maln dishes are >10$. Would come here anytime I‘m in San Antonio.“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem, I would recommend it to anyone for the exceptional food, service and quality. It was actually the best Spanish food we've had since arriving in San Antonio. I would highly recommend stopping by and seeing for yourself what we are talking about and the prices were fair and reasonable as well as the food portions were great. So put this place on your list you will not be disappointed.“

“First time eating here and wow!!!!They brought us a complimentary enchilada a long with our chips and salsa!This place really prides itself on their homemade sauces and they are incredible.I got the fajita platter and it was HUGE.My partner got the salad and it was the largest salad I have ever seen, delicious dressing as well.MIL had enchiladas and wow, so so very good!!!Lots of options for vegetarians and vegans!Meal for 3 came out to $52.Vegetarian options: They have a lot of veggie and vegan options. The fried tofu is great!“

“Came in for some awesome green chile chicken enchiladas and a fantastic margarita. The bartender Alex was kind, welcoming, efficient and of course made good margaritas. He cared about everyone that was in today with his positive vibes and smile.“

“I frequent El Rincon Jalisco, it is near me. I have lots of choices otherwise. Their mini taco plate is the best I have had in years. The toasted chili and onion top it of. I never feel disappointed when I pay the bill. I feel that I got what I paid for and leave with a full stomach. The pricing is comparable to other restaurants of the same. The proportions are better here.The service is great and attentive.I didn't stop to take a picture of my meal, I dug in before I knew what happened.You need to stop by and give it a try. You will be back!“

“Rios Barbacoa is a fantastic place to get good authentic Mexican food. The barbacoa is very juicy, the salsa is perfect, the charro beans are literally TO DIE FOR, and the pork tamales will make you want to stuff your face with an endless supply. I can tell they take pride in their food and the customer service is superb. I will always stop here when I'm in San Antonio.“

“Bartender was super busy when we walked in, but I prefer the bar so I was willing to wait. However, the managers (even the kitchen manager) were all involved in the shift and helped the Bartender and took care of us right away. Amazing team, great leadership. The kitchen manager even got us excited telling us different things about the menu and his passions. I'll be back time and time again after an experience like this. Roberts margaritas were 10/10. As a restaurant manager myself it was just awesome to watch. Your kitchen manager was the highlight of my visit. Bar service was excellent“

“Every time I visit San Antonio I try to eat here. It’s always delicious, great customer service and fair prices. The staff is always bubbly and friendly. The food is authentic and delicious. I’m picky about my Menudo and it’s delicious. Also they have their own parking lot and street parking is plentiful. I would recommend this place.“

“There were 12 people in our group. Our waiter was so awesome! He kept our glasses filled, met all of our needs, and served our food hot. We ate out on the patio and the wind was blowing so hard that things were flying everywhere. Our waiter was so kind and patient even with one of our grouchy people. I want to go back and eat inside where i can hear what everyone is saying. The food was delicious!! I had chicken fajitas“

“My wife had some very concerning news about her brother, who had ongoing liver problems and is in the hospital. Very sad, but Mexican food is comfort food for her, so I brought her here. As always, food was really good. Lots of families in the place. Service was especially great. Autumn and Calib did a phenomenal job. They seemed to read the sadness on my wife’s face and seemed especially helpful. That is pretty rare. Very grateful to both servers. Please tell Autumn and Calib thank you from us.“

“Owners were great , staff was very friendly, food is just a hidden gem of a menu.Making everything from scratch, including the black pepper, seems like no easy feet in that teeny tiny kitchen!Vegetarian options: Faux-jita option is literally the best,“

“Good morning., food is great they have the nopales tacos. Rico. , Service is amigable y amables. ., ambiance is great nice decoration. We here for market day and enjoy the food. You can look for me at YouTube Alicia Harp . With Múltiple Choices selling Farmasi,Scentsy and more.“

“I'll be back to try more! On the recommendation of a friend, I had the tacos de lengua guisada. Anyone who likes lengua knows that you take a big chance at a new place. Mary Lou's did not disappoint. Lengua is tender and flavorful. Tortillas are are a 10/10. Go see for yourself!“

“This is a hidden gem, quiet and very well handled. Quality of food and service excellent, my daughter had her preferred full of bean cheese and bacon tacos and finished every bit. Not too many places have the option even, but the costilas de oven (short ribs plate) is a major standout, very tender and delicious. Even got some to go. Good food, great prices as well. Highly recommend“

“This is a nice go-to place for a few drinks at the bar or to enjoy good food. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was incredible. She was very attentive and made me feel very welcome. The drinks, the food, and the bartender were perfect!I'll definitely be going back again.“

“This food made me happy. I grew up in SA and haven't lived here for almost 30 years. I still come back as often as I can for visits with friends and family. I was happy to see Teja Molino 2 opened near my folks home, so I ordered. The puffy taco was perfect especially once I put the spicy salsa verde on it. The cheese enchiladas were a childhood favorite so I went with old reliable. Both were delicious.“

“The outside doesn't look great but once you walk in it's a different world. The place is immaculately clean from the vents, ceiling fans, the kitchen EVERYTHING is clean. I've been in San Antonio for 3 years and this has been the best breakfast I've eaten I'll definitely return to try lunch and dinner. Gracias.“
