If you want traditional Tex-Mex this is the place to go. Always crowded so get there early if you don't want to wait too long. Tortillas are awesome.

Diana Pennycook

Obviously the tortillas & queso are to die for if you've read any of the tips you know this. But get the brisket quesadillas for your entree! One of their best menu items for sure!

Koehl Friesenhahn

Delicious Shrimp Fajitas . All of the fajita plates are good. Great enchiladas and queso . I highly recommend the mango margarita .

Ashley Rios

The tortillas you get at the beginning of your meal are very satisfying. Not many places do that and it's different from the regular chips and salsa .

Vance Penn

Great food, great atmosphere, but the service can sometimes be iffy. Tortillas are excellent. I've never had anything that I didn't like.

Nancy

Haven't been here since last year. One of my favorites is the tortilla soup/chicken fajita combo. What the heck did you do to the soup ? It has a queer taste to it. Disappointed.

Soozie Selfridge

The BEST chile rellenos ! Crispy and fresh, absolutely well thought through.

Melissa Loftin

The margaritas are awesome. I love their hot sauce and enchiladas .

Bean McFluffen

Omg so good!!!! Queso is amazing! Tortilla is awesome! Their Chicken fried stake is my life!!!

Get the Tortilla Soup with a Chicken Fajita combo. (I dip my fajita into the soup broth!) Yummilicious.

Sarah Huff

Service was fast and friendly .. The food was better then on the border and prices were great. Try the cocorita it's to die for!! Yummy..

Nicholas John Metcalf

Mid range if anything on the prices, pretty good bang for you buck, best queso in town , by far...if you can, sit at the bar...better service by far!

Best Lunch/Dinner in San Antonio. The chicken fried steak is the best in the U. S.

Koehl Friesenhahn

The enchiladas and fajitas are fantastic!! I highly recommend a mango margarita .

Derrick Davis

I remember liking this place a lot when I was in high school . I guess I've grown up. It's been probably 10 years since I've been in, and I left disappointed. My wife even asked why I picked the place.

Jerry Conway

Yea it's still good!!! I've never left feeling bad about the food or service --- parking is a hassle during peak eats!

Waiter busted his butt to make sure we always had everything we need. Best queso in town !

Have you had the tortilla soup with a side fajita taco ? No? Then you are doing life wrong. Turn around and try again.

Tortillas ... Oh my damn. Get several packs and take them home with you!

The carne guisada is AWESOME! Some of the best I've ever eaten.

The beef fajitas are the best I've had--and from a native Texan, that's saying something.
