    a taco stand with drinks
    Sabrina S.

    So happy we made a stop here. Their name says it all, they specialize in tacos! It's a tiny little place with indoor/ outdoor seating and a drive thru as well. We were starving so we went for the 5 mini corn tortilla taco pack each $9.99. A variety of meats to choose from - we ordered the chicken, carnitas, fajitas, al pastor, chicharron. Comes with grilled onions and chilis on the side. FYI the grilled chili is super spicy! They also have a self serve bar of packaged containers of condiments- chopped cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and salsas. We enjoyed the creamy salsa and avocado salsa. I enjoyed my Jamaica fresca, they also serve limonada, horchata, and melon. The melon was a little too sweet for me. We ordered a few more mini tacos in addition because we can, they are tiny snacks but filled with tasty meat : ) Great service, good food!

    Soft tacos

    Came to this place as I wanted a taco place near my appointment. Looked at their website and it looked good. My son wanted soft tacos so we stopped there. My son ordered 3 flour tacos with beef, cheese, and sour cream only. I ordered a cheese quesadilla. When we got our food, my son got 3 street mini tacos not the normal size flour tacos and the sour cream looked and tasted like skim milk. He took one bite and asked me if I could trade with him since he did not like his tacos. He ate my cheese quesadilla and I only ate the half he took a bite off. I could not eat the rest because the cheese wasn't melted and the their version of sour cream is watery milk, basically. We ate what we could and threw away the rest. Not really impressed with this place and hardly think we'll come back. Clean dine-in Only one handicap parking by the entrance.

    Hands down I don't think I've ever found a better Mexican restaurant. The staff always makes us feel welcome, the food is always fresh and delicious. The ambience in the restaurant is always above par. Will always pick El Taco!!

    If you get frustrated living in Stone Oak because all the good taco joints are on the other side of town, quit moping around and get your butt to El Taco Grill. I got the Impossible Quesadilla and was asked at the drive through if I wanted a double. I couldn't resist so I ended up with 2 big quesadillas. I was one happy fat kid! They have a number of salsas and sauces to choose from and they are all good. This place is at the top of my list for solid Mexican food! Follow me on IG @cheatday_sa

    If you are a foodie, come here. This place was ridiculously delicious. Although it's a little bit of a dive, the owner and staff could not have been more friendly. The food...oh my god. The food. I'm not going to lie...I am someone who frequently dreams about Mexican street food, and this place did NOT disappoint. I grew up in Texas, eating from Mexican food trucks, and this place is 100% up to my Mexican streetfood standards. The costra is pure foodie heaven, and the steak had SO MUCH flavor. The table of salsas and condiments was also a welcoming sight. There were many fun salsas to try, in addition to classic pico de gallo, cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and more. I love this place. I plan on coming back again and again.

    El Taco is in my top 5 places to eat in San Antonio. It's just a little place with big flavor food! Service is always great, it's clean and fast! They are open for many hours so when the urge for tacos hits, they will be open! Everything on the menu is so good!

    Excellent service and delicious tacos. I love that they had a outdoor patio, indoor dining, and a drive through!Highly recommend!

    The Impossible Quesadilla
    Sabrina R.

    Had a strong craving for quesadillas but there are not many options in the Stone Oak area that offer a hearty quesadilla that will truly satisfy you. Decided to check this place out based on a number of reviews raving about the impossible quesadilla & it most certainly did not disappoint!! We went through the drive thru which was a major plus because we were having one of those 'lets run out in our pjs looking kinda crazy type of nights.' We ordered the double impossible quesadilla and 4 flour mini tacos - 2 chicken, 1 pastor & 1 carnitas. We each ate a quesadilla and I personally struggled to finish it because I was so full but forced it down anyway because it was that delicious. The quesadilla was stuffed with a healthy portion of meat and cheese that was cooked perfectly and 110% satisfied my craving. I only managed to nibble small bites of the meat from each mini taco just to try it & the carnitas and pastor were yummy but the chicken was very dry. That was the only disappointment of our meal but something they could easily fix if they wanted to. Regardless, my boyfriend did not let any food go to waste and enjoyed these enough to say he'd order them again. They included a generous amount of sauces, limes, onions & cilantro which perfectly complimented our meal. Their salsa verde was delicious and we tore through everything they gave us. There was a wait for our food which was completely ok by me because that means it's being made fresh. Sure enough, when we got home, everything was still hot. I was delighted to see that nothing got soggy either as I've definitely experienced a number of oily/greasy tacos in SA. This will definitely be our new go to spot when we are looking for some tacos & quesadillas. Check em out!

    I went to El Taco Grill recently and it was pretty good! The only thing I wish, was for them to add more meat to the tacos. I felt like it was missing meat. Also, to have a spicier salsa option. The tacos were good, the tortilla wasn't crunchy or soggy, it was perfect! The Torta was so filling! I recommend it with fajita or al pastor! Their agua Frescas are so refreshing, and they did not taste like they were powdered! I'd definitely go back!

    I ordered a torta and it was so delicious. My picture does not do it justice. The asada was very tasty and paired extremely well with the fresh avocado, cream, and cheese. The portions are huge and well worth the price. They also have a drive through and are open late, so super convenient all around. I highly recommend.

    This place is a hidden gem. It's right next to a dry cleaners and you really can't see it unless you are looking for it. We decided to try it out and I was not disappointed. Authentic Northern Mexican food for all comforts. Everyone who ordered in our family enjoyed their meal. Good sized proportion and not holding back on the meat. Well seasoned and full of flavor. I would have never through that we would have a gem like this nested in Stone oak area. I suggest to give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.

    I love that there is a drive thru and this has very convenient hours. The food, salsa and condiments are good! The employee was friendly, fast and and the store looked clean.

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
