I love their al carbon as it provides a great, crunch to contrast the nice juicy, moist fillings that are available. These pinche gorditas are like my kids; i cant pick a favorite. This time I had the chicharrón prensado, puerco en chile and choriqueso. All fantastic, all hot, all flavorfull and filling. The cafe de olla is also something you should not miss. Oh, and their limeade - all natural and refreshing. Gorditas and cafe de olla - what's not to like?

However, it's incredibly sweet. After a bit, I wanted to cut the sweetness with regular coffee, but my refill was more. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but I can't drink that much sugar back to back. Next time, I'll order the regular one as well. I ordered a rajas and cheese a la plancha. So good! Delicious, crispy, and filled with gooey cheese. It was amazing.

I hate to leave a bad review but it is what it is…read more The location is ok. The place is spacious and there is plenty of sitting available. I came alone. I came here because they had an option for tacos and smaller dishes. It also is affordable. I went ahead and ordered a cup of coffee. Just black coffee. I had a sip and my stomach didn't like it much. I thought, no biggie, I'll just finish it when I get my food. I ordered the nopal w/egg and chorizo w/egg tacos. The waitress was super friendly and she did warned me that the tacos were big. So I stopped at the 2 tacos. I took a bite of the chorizo taco and I could tell the tortillas are homemade. I was super excited, but by my second bite my stomach started to feel uncomfortable. I went on and started eating the nopal and egg taco which was delicious! I ate that taco with no problem. I went back to the chorizo one and my stomach started to hurt pretty badly. I took a sip of the coffee because, I don't know, I was hoping the liquid would help the cause but nop, my stomach started to hurt even more. Need to say no more, I left ya'll coffee cup was full and chorizo taco only had 2 bites. I paid and I saw in my car for a good 15mins in pain! I do not recommend this place at all and I will certainly not be back.

FIRST TIME VISIT!!!…read more First time here and boy, am I excited! I lazed about almost the entire Sunday and didn't have anything to eat or drink all day. That is literally how useless I was today. I was doom-scrolling on Yelp and saw this place come up. Not too far from me, but I've never been. By the looks of the reviews, people really like this dive. Hey, I'm sold! I make the short drive here by myself ready to try something new. THE LOCATION: conveniently located dead center of a section of a strip mall right off Potranco. Lots of parking, but as I'm quite familiar with this lil shopping center, parking can fill up fast some days and times. THE DIGS: this place is super cute! Clean, tastefully decorated, pop music playing overhead. A chill way to spend a Sunday afternoon. THE MENU: Prices are quite reasonable and lots of classic options of comida Mexicana and Tex-Mex. Something for everyone. What to pick?! DECISIONS, DECISIONS: This Mom n' Pop eatery starts guests off with a complimentary cup of fideo and chips and salsa. You may have to request the chips yourself. They also offer ranchera sauce (served warm) and a trio of freshly made salsas to complement the chips. As for my meal, I decide on the popular Tampiqueña Plate (Grilled steak, cheese enchiladas, rice, refried beans, guac with salad). I am also elated that they have house made aquas frescas- horchata, limonada and Jamaica, as well as handmade flour AND corn tortillas. . HELLO!!! THE SERVICE: It's a quiet hour and I'm glad. I get to enjoy my early dinner at a leisurely pace, ask all my questions about the menu without feeling like I'm holding the staff up. My server is so professional and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make me feel content and fully satisfied with my meal. THE FLAVORS: First off, can I just RAVE about the horchata? It wasn't until I took my first sip that I knew I was in for a hoe made great that is (sadly) so rare in this city. Jackpot! I don't even care what the rest of my meal tastes like at this point. I am a happy girl, y'all. But the flavors keep coming... fresh quac on a side sald, classic Mexican rice, yummy refried beans and a classic Mexican style steak in its simplicity. The ranchera sauce (with chips) is flavorful but not at all spicy, in fact, the very slow and mild tickle at the back of the throat is so minor that Kiddos 3+ years would enjoy it, too, imo. And yes, I also refer to your Anglo-Saxon babies. Lol. Really, very nice flavor and such a thoughtful consideration by the staff to offer it. The trio of salsas are also very delish, but the creamy orange one got me as expected. A color like that should draw attention to itself no matter the restaurant you're in. The heat surprised me even still and I was grateful for the fresh aquacate on my plate and horchata to rescue me. So much flavor in these salsas! OVERALL: my first full impression of this place is quite good. There has been quite a bit of turnover in this restaurant's space. The server tells me that the new ownership took over less than a year ago and not only do I intend to return, but I really hope you stop in and show some love to this hard-working crew who clearly have a passion for feeding hungry girls like me.

Came at 9:45am on a Sunday. Empty. 3 servers. Monsters Inc playing on the TV with Spanish music…read moreplaying on the indoor speakers. The vibe is just clashing. The next movie was Inside Out and the servers were very interested in the movie the whole time we were there. They said they did not have any barbacoa. Huge fail for a Sunday morning in San Antonio if I must say. So instead, I ordered café de olla, pozole, a carne guisada with cheese taco, and a chorizo/bean/bacon taco. Husband ordered chilaquiles rancheros and a regular coffee. He said his coffee was luke warm but his plate was good. Aside from the servers and the overall vibe of the place, the food itself was good in our opinion. I would come back when they have barbacoa to taste it and the pozole was good after a tiny bit of salt just to bring out the juice flavors. I don't normally add salt to my food in general. But this time, it worked. I am not a menudo person so the fact that they had good pozole close by my house was a major plus! The Cafe de olla was really good but just a tad on the sweet side for me. But again, I would still come back to taste their other items.

Omg, this place is so good!!! I love it…read more You order at the counter and they give u a number. They have a salsa bar you can use once u get their food. It's so good and it's cheap. They even have a drive though. I usually order to go but I finally sat down to eat for the first time. The music is jamming. It's a good place for large family gathering. Very family style.

This place is legit. It feels like a restaurant made for the local Mexican community, and while I'm…read morenot Mexican myself, I absolutely appreciate the authentic food and culture.I came specifically for the birria ramen, and it did not disappoint. Rich , comforting, packed with flavor, and an absolute must! I also ordered an al pastor taco, and I can honestly say it's the best one I've had in San Antonio. The salsa bar was another highlight. It reminded me of the ones you'll find in Mexico, with a great variety of fresh salsa options that let you customize every bite.The restaurant is spacious and even has a drive thru, but what really makes it unique is the atmosphere. Local vendors stop by selling homemade cookies and fresh bread, and musicians may come in to sing for tips. Don't feel obligated, but embrace the experience! it's all part of the charm. This is a true neighborhood restaurant with incredible food and a genuine sense of community. I loved it and will absolutely be back the next time I'm in San Antonio.

My family tried Bryan's for the first time today & were very happy!! First off- the prices are…read moregreat! The beef fajita was high-quality meat, so they definitely don't skimp on quality. I recommend checking out their Facebook videos which showcase some of their specials. They drew us in. :) We ordered to go, and the service was excellent. The staff were kind & friendly, food was prepared quickly but carefully. We ordered the Chile Relleno Plate & the Jalisco Burrito Plate. We substituted Charro beans on both plates (you should too!!!) & they were AMAZING! They were well-flavored & filled with sliced sausage, bacon chunks, even chicharrones. I am not a fan of rice, I never eat it. But when I heard how tasty this rice was, I had to try. It was light, well-textured, & seasoned to perfection. Literally the BEST SPANISH RICE I've ever tasted (sorry, Dad)! I ate most of it... there was a lot. If you can believe it, both meals were even better than the rice & beans! The Jalisco burrito was FILLED with beef fajita meat & the perfect blend of thick tomato slices, lettuce, sour cream, & guacamole. Both meals had well-flavored sauce... the Chile Relleno especially. It had a ranchero based sauce which really made the dish special. Plus, the portions were hearty so we each have a full meal left over!

I'm going to be honest--TikTok is the reason we drove about 25 minutes from home to try this place…read more We kept hearing about the huevos rancheros and how they've supposedly been making the same ranchero recipe since the 1980s. That kind of history will definitely get my attention. Unfortunately, the ranchero sauce was a big miss for me. I was expecting something rich, flavorful, and distinctly ranchero. Instead, it tasted like someone mixed Pace Picante with a homemade salsa. Maybe that's the original recipe, but if it is, I'm going to respectfully pass. I just wasn't a fan. Now, before I completely destroy the place, there were some definite wins. Those potatoes were GOOD. Properly seasoned potatoes are becoming a rare discovery at breakfast restaurants, and these actually had flavor. The beans were also good. The eggs? Chef, you understood the assignment. They came out perfectly over-medium. Not hard, not runny, not accidentally scrambled into oblivion. Just right. My hat is tilted to the chef for that one. The homemade tortillas were another highlight, and the barbacoa was really good as well. So there were definitely some things happening on that plate that I enjoyed. I also ordered oatmeal, which came with toast. I had to ask for jelly, and our server immediately offered peanut butter as another option. And honestly, our server was the MVP of the entire visit. OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Seriously. Friendly, attentive, helpful, and genuinely engaged with us throughout the meal. You know that feeling when someone is actually paying attention instead of just walking around collecting checks? That was our server. If management is reading this, recognize this employee and give them the credit they deserve. Great customer service can save an average meal from becoming a terrible experience, and our server absolutely did that. My wife ordered the huevos rancheros with carne guisada, along with a barbacoa taco. She also added a small bowl of pozole. Unfortunately, the pozole was another hard pass for both of us--we just weren't fans of it. Unfortunately... the pozole was another hard pass for us. Neither of us cared for it. So here's my honest takeaway: Good: Well-seasoned potatoes Good beans Perfectly cooked over-medium eggs Homemade tortillas Good barbacoa Outstanding customer service Not so good: Ranchero sauce wasn't what I expected Pozole wasn't enjoyable TikTok hype set the expectations way higher than the actual food delivered Was the meal terrible? No. There were several things I really enjoyed. Was it worth a 25-minute drive specifically because TikTok told me I needed to try it? For me, no. I'm glad we tried it, and I'm especially glad we experienced the excellent service. But I don't see myself making that 25-minute drive again anytime soon just for this restaurant. TikTok gets the credit for getting us through the door. Our server gets the credit for making sure we left happy. The food... well, the food is going to have to work a little harder to earn a second visit.

This is why it's important to revisit places you have given great reviews too, again after a while…read more I can't believe how epically bad they have gotten. Our waitress was awesome, and the corn tortillas are still great. The menu is completely different, the quality has gone down, and the overall execution of dishes has taken a back seat. This is a prime example of HOW NOT TO adapt to the changes in the economy. You either shrink potions, but keep same quality or make substitutions and keep same prices.. Shame shame...they did all the opposite! All of our fav dishes are no longer on the menu. I didn't even bother taking pictures anymore. I'm so upset, because this a shell of one of our favorite places used to be! Just a few pics from drive thru menu, because honestly, there are NO good options in the 90/Montgomery rd area.
