Ordered a Carne Asada burrito from here, and it was absolutely DELIGHTFUL. They do not serve burritos with rice, cause they don't serve rice, and that's usually a dealbreaker for me. I honestly didn't even realize it until I received my burrito, and I hate burritos with just meat in it. However, this burrito had me freaking drooling. I had avocados, onion, cilantro, tomato, and cheese in it, and it was just absolutely amazing. It had so much flavor, and was so filling! I would definitely recommend this place! The only reason I didn't get five stars was because of the price. I got two burritos and two drinks because I went with my husband, and the bill came out to ~$33 which is kind of high & typically a dealbreaker for people, but honestly, they were so worth it and I plan to keep going back! The burritos are also kind of small, but like I said... they fill you UP! I was down to my last four bites and I had a hard time finishing it bc I was already full. But I also wasn't going to waste such a great burrito! So if you don't mind spending the money for a GREAT time, I highly recommend this spot! read more

Recommend: Maybe Food: Ordered the Taco Plate which is 3 Al Pastor taco as and 3 Sirloin. The taco came with cilantro, onions, lemon, and asked for a side of salsa (Serrano). The tacos come with enough meat to fill you. The meat was tender and not much fat on the cuts, which I appreciate. The meat is being cooked on a trompo right in front of you, so everything seems fresh. The Al Pastor taco comes with a slice of pineapple that, I think, gives it a good contrast to the spiciness of the Serrano sauce. The meat could use a little bit more seasoning but overall, it was a good taco. Service: Service was fast. You order at the counter and pick it up at the end of the counter once your pager buzzes. Everyone is friendly. Ambiance: the restaurant is very clean on the inside, it has a very upbeat vibe. read more

Great tacos! Tasty, they only have Al Pastor but they've perfected their recipe! Very traditional Mexican and spicy good salsa! Good service. Ambiance is very "Mexican street taco" feels quite casual but like everyone knows everyone. Will be coming back soon! They were also featured in Netflix's "Taco Chronicles" read more

¡No Mames! ¡Que pinches tacos me acabo de chingar!!! No necesitas ir a México para disfrutar de unos tacos chingones como los de la ciudad de México. El lugar está fresón y la música me encantó. Los tacos podrían están un poco más bien servidos pero el precio es accesible así que solo tienes que pedir unos dos o tres tacos extras y ya. Las salsas están muy chingonas también.

I love this little taco place. There's enough room and seating inside for you to enjoy your meal. I love that they shave the meat off in front of the restaurant so you can see your food being prepared! You can't go wrong with any of the meat choices.

They were pretty nice there! The tacos were pretty good! I like the way they cut the meat! The salsas were good but not my favorite. Overall the space was chill, they had standing tables to wait for your food and the place inside for seating is not too big but I expect that they usually have people just do pick up orders. read more

By far, one of my favorite taco places in San Antonio. The tacos are so delicious and the meat is tender and flavorful. The salsa packs the perfect amount of heat! And if you eat it there, they give you a boat of salsa that is warmed and it just elevates the experience even more. The staff is friendly and they're always efficient. It's family owned and they have cute decor from Mexico so it feels like you're there. Can't wait to go back. read more

We were in San Antonio for 4 days and this was the ONLY good food we had. We ordered one plate and then went back for 2 more plates! They were the most authentic tacos we have had in the US. My husband's home town in MX has a place we always make sure to go to when we are there and I'd say these are comparable. We are from Los Angeles so we are familiar with very good tacos. I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for real Mexican food in San Antonio read more

Food is good really bad service. Many good restaurants in town that serve much more than just al pastor tacos.

This is my second time going here, and I like this place even more! The first time, I got the Torta de pastor. Which is not a taco, but they put the meat in between French bread-like bread. This time, I got a monster torta ($13). I made nearly 2 meals out of this! Look at these ingredients--PASTOR, SIRLOIN, CHULETA, BACON, PINEAPPLE, ONION, CILANTRO, MAYO, REFRIED BEANS AND CHEESE!! I loved all the different types of meat. They do have different tastes (I may have ate them individually to figure this out). The pineapple added a nice sweetness, and I also got avocado in mine! The bread was crispy but still held all the ingredients well without getting soggy. To me, this is more exciting than getting mini tacos, so I would highly recommend trying this monster torta! The service was fast on a Saturday evening. We got our food within 10 minutes. There is only 1 table for 2. The rest are standing tables. read more

Food is not good. So you put meat on a trompo but the taste is not there. Sorry, putting the meat on a trompo is not making authentic Mexico city tacos. Among the worst tacos I've had. Ordered an order of six tacos. Three of pork trompo and three of the beef. I tried one of each and left the rest. Expensive and served in a flimsy paper plate. Theres no side orders. Not recommended. read more

Wow! What a great place. Had the Al Pastor and 3 of their hot sauces- yummy. Reminds me of some of the first Al Pastor tacos I enjoyed when I was a kid. Hope this place makes it and will grow into a larger restaurant. read more

El Pastor was recently made famous for pastor tacos thanks to Netflix, Texas Monthly, and even CNN. Are they very good tacos? Yes. The best in Texas? Not even close. However, they are worth lots and lots of love and respect for flavor and cooking technique. The menu offers nothing but pastor and asada cuts - no rice, beans, or anything but meat and tortillas. In the open kitchen you'll see the trompos circling the fires as staff slices off your meat. The slightly smokey taste in the meat suggests over roasting. It's missing the earthy sweet you get in many pastor tacos. That's not my flavor, but it's still very good. Don't use the salsa! It's good, but the tacos are good enough on their own to enjoy as is. You'll love your tacos, especially at $10 for five. Expect a wait unless you arrive early. The parking area will fill and the line will be out the door. The interior has only standing tables with only two sit down tables. read more

Mexico City style tacos with real trompo with great flavor! Service could be better but the flavor made up for it

If you enjoy Pastor tacos, please check this place out. Not only is the food absolutely phenomenal, the staff is super nice too. They are consistently busy, which is a wonderful sign of wonderful food & people from my life experience. Went with my family & got the 10 tacos to share. It comes with a slice of pineapple & their perfectly cooked Pastor meat. So good. Delicious hot corn tortillas held the delicious meat, onions, and pineapple with their delicious sauce. I could've eaten all ten tacos by myself. I may go back & do just that. There are so many things to choose from, I'm honestly thinking I'm gonna back until I've tried everything on their menu. Honestly, I believe these are probably some of the best tacos I've ever had in San Antonio. Go try them!!!! Do not wait. Extra bonus is they speak Spanish & are willing to talk about their food with those really interested, as my daughter's partner is in learning how to cook true Mexican cuisine. read more

My prayers have finally been answered! San Antonio officially has REAL and AUTHENTIC tacos al pastor. I was born in Mexico City and grew up eating tacos al pastor my entire life. For me, these tacos were something we would eat at least once a week, and there's something super nostalgic about them. When I moved to San Antonio ten years ago and realized there wasn't an authentic place, I was a little devastated. Long story short, I saw someone posted these tacos on Instagram and knew I had to go and check them out ASAP. The establishment is small, but is EXACTLY what you would expect from a taqueria. I decided to go for the classic tacos al pastor and WOW! The first bite immediately took me back home. The meat, the tortilla, the condiments...everything was perfection! Yes, they might be more expensive than your average tacos in San Antonio, but they are definitely using quality products. I am a huge fan and will be forever a loyal customer! read more

Looking for anything but turkey after Thanksgiving, I came to El Pastor Es Mi Senor with friends after practice. This was my first time here so after looking at the menu I noticed that they have specific offerings of either pastor or asada meat cuts that are served Mexico City style and offer no rice, beans, avocado, or queso fresco. The only toppings they offered were onion, cilantro, pineapple, or salsa. Good enough. For my first go around I had to try the order of 5 Al Pastor tacos that was just under $10 so that was a good deal. The dining room offers stand up tables with no chairs while the outside offers small two person sit down tables. My order came up and the food looked very appetizing. The pork meat was tender, seasoned well and came with nice slices of fresh pineapple which allot of place skimp on. All the toppings blend well with the protein and the salsa adds some heat to counter the sweetness from the pineapple....delicioso! Overall, I really liked the Al Pastor tacos and will be back to try more of the different variations of the Al Pastor and Asada proteins. Salud! read more

Good, but not great. We got regular al pastor tacos. The meat was one whole slice which was different and had decent flavor but not enough from what I'm used to. The salsa was good. There's also tables without chairs which is interesting. Over all good tacos, but this is why I have trust issues with tv recommendations. read more

Once you have the best El Pastor tacos ever, cooked on Trompo I didn't think I would ever find another place that would ever come close. Well I found it, El Pastor Es Mi Senor is the right up there with the other (hint -Las Vegas) these tacos are amazing!! Quaint little taco place with stand up tables inside and some sit down tables outside. The Trompo style meats are prepared and served many different ways but my favorite is the street style tacos are the best way to eat El Pastor meat. So good, wish I had a few more stomachs so I could continue to eat more. This place hit my must do list when in San Antonio TX. read more

These tacos are so good! Best Pastor around! Served quick and straight off the trompo CDMX style. The pastor has some of those craveable crunchy edges mixed with smooth pork flavor. The street tacos come with the typical pineapple, cilantro, and onion bits...not over done and that is great so you can really get that pastor flavor on the palette! There is limited seating, so grab and bunch and take them to go or there are a couple tables to sit outside on. Definitely coming back for more and trying some more combinations! read more

I've been driving by this place for a while now and decided to give it a shot. We got there just before 8pm on a Saturday. The Al pastor was already sold out (so you know it's good) so we opted for the sirloin tacos. An order of 5 good sized street tacos is $9.75 and it's plenty for one person. They also have a feature in a Netflix episode coming out all about tacos. They're doing it right here and we can't wait to come back! read more

I was a pretty big fan of their tacos, I've been multiple times over the last year. However recently they have not been the same, today was my last straw. The tacos were bland, the salsa and meat had no flavor, my tortillas were cold, and they barely put any meat in my tacos. I was given two peanut sized limes for my tacos, which was barely anything. Taco Bell would've been better and more filling, for a quarter of the price. read more

This establishment has been featured on Netflix and written up by Texas Monthly for an authentic Pastor Taco experience. The tacos are good, but really nothing special. Had 5 pastor tacos with everything and a volcan de pastor (meat, cheese, onion, cilantro and pineapple on a tostada). The tacos were good, the volcan was delicious and satisfying. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is Mexico City street taco stand, you stand and eat. I'll come back and try a variety of items earlier in the day. I noticed the meat was a little dry just before closing. read more

Best street tacos in the city hands down!!! Move over West! Man, my experience here was a bit of a ride, but the customer service is award worthy. I'd ordered their food through door dash and the delivery got lost. Even though it was not their fault, the owner offered to remake my order for me to pick up. He even asked where I lived to see if one of his employees could bring the food, but I turned him down. When I showed up, they gave me a taco while I waited for order number two, and he said this one had to be enjoyed in store. Incredible, and I understand why theyve gotten so much media attention: James beard, Netflix, taco chronicles. All the staff was so friendly. The owners mother was working the register and so sweet. I asked if the food was a family recipe and she said no, that her kids were just amazing cooks. The store was very clean and looks fun and modern. You can watch the meat being cooked and the kitchen is very clean. 1000/10. read more

First time trying this place and I would recommend it. I'd come back again. We had the taco box (10 tacos) and a torta. All pastor meat. Each taco & the torta had a slice of fresh pineapple which gave it a sweet, fresh kick! The meat was well seasoned and tasted fresh. I can honestly say these tacos surpass the al pastor tacos from Taquitos West (this has been my favorite taco place for years). They also have 3 different salsas. They have a red salsa, salsa norteña and salsa chilanga. The salsa chilanga was the spiciest to me which I liked! Inside seating was very limited and limited to 45mins. The majority of their sitting area is outdoors. We came during a chilly & rainy day. We sat outside and did what we came for (to eat) and we left! We will definitely be back! read more

My husband and in laws wanted to try a new taco place after a hectic day. We looked up this place and saw that it was very close to us. Once we entered, the place is full of aromatics coming from the meats being cooked. The place is a bit small, but you can tell this is going to be a great place to eat at. Inside was decorated with soccer memorabilia and autographed items. The place is well lit and spacious for people to eat in. There's a huge menu and drinks the moment you enter. We ordered the sirloin tacos, which are small but filling. The service is great when the cashier helped us. Great customer service. Once our food was ready, our sirloin tacos were freshly made and hot. The meat is tender with each bite, and the perfect amount to share with two-four people. My in laws had the Al pastor tacos and those were fantastic as well! For dining, it was great but I know some people might not be used to this. The tables inside are meant for dining where you stand and eat. There's no chairs unless your eating inside. Do with that information what you will. The verdict for me is, I'm going to eat at this place again! read more
