    When at Henry's, puffy tacos are kinda necessary and they did not disappoint! The tacos were everything I had hoped they would be. The service was friendly and attentive. I need to come back here!

    The puffy tacos were delicious and it was definitely worth trying at least once if you're ever in San Antonio. I had the ground beef and the carne guisada versions of the puffy tacos. The chips and salsa had a slightly more spicy kick to it compared to other Tex-Mex places. The rice and refried beans were delicious also. I noticed that the food didn't take very long to come out after ordering.

    Always love coming to Henry's, such a staple in San Antonio! We went during the week around dinner time so wasn't super loud. The service was super fast and our waiter was very attentive to what we needed. The food was amazing as always! This is my favorite place to get authentic cheese enchiladas and the sauce taste so good especially to scoop up with some tortillas. Their puffy tacos are a must and taste delicious as a bean and cheese puffy taco! Will for sure be coming back!

    The service is always good when we visit. This last time I tried the enchiladas with tacos and rice and beans and it was some of the best I've ever had. We have been coming to this spot for years. I can't believe I have written a review yet. Will always be my go to when in the area. Live a place that has consistently good service.

    Just moved back to SA and son wanted to try his first Puffy Taco. We looked up what was near us and the reviews lead us here. You come in and check in on the iPad that's connected to Yelp so check in on Yelp to get onto the waitlist. We waited but it wasn't too bad. They have lots of places to sit while you wait. The service after sitting down was on point. Attentive, prompt, friendly.  Only great things from him. The food was good as well. We definitely will come back. Yes we all got puffy tacos but we also tried the Chalupa and enchiladas. Get the combo plates where u can pick and choose from 2-3 items. Btw- if you are from California like me- the Chalupa here is a Tostada.

    Check in on Yelp wasn't working for us so we had to sign in on the iPad they had when you first come in. The wait was about 20 mins. Make sure you check in on Yelp when you can! Waiter was super attentive. Didn't even write down our order and got it right! First time there - he gave us the Salsa Verde to try too since we were raving about the original they give you on the table. We all loved our puffy taco choices. However hubby was disappointed his chalupa was basically a tostada. Guess the definitions are different here than in Cali. All in all- great 1st impression and will be back!

    I flew to San Antonio from Denver with one thing on my mind. Henry's puffy tacos. Today, Henry's met all expectations. Not only were the tacos delicious and fresh. the charro beans were most excellent. I hope to make another visit during our stay in SA.

    Puffy Taco Plate (3) - shredded chicken, ground beef, and spicy chicken
    Jordan O.

    I've never seen table side queso...and also it was the best I've ever had. My wife didn't love it as much (she likes a thin queso), but I like a thick one and this was pure melted cheese and chorizo goodness!!!! The chips were solid, needed more salt...but I loved the kick of the salsa. And of course the puffy tacos - a super interesting unique SA thing that you just have to try. I wouldn't get the shredded chicken one again, but only because the spicy fajita chicken one was better. The ground beef one was also very good and my wife loved it. I would come back and maybe try other stuff...but would HAVE to get the queso again! It was just soooooo good. Also the place is super cute, just the right amount of lived in feel and our server was wonderful!

    We loved loved loved the food, the service, and the atmosphere! We'll definitely be back can't beat 100 year family restaurant! The salsa Verde was the best I've ever had!

    Tex Mex plate
    Darian C.

    I got the tex mex plate because I couldn't really decide what I wanted. I liked the puffy taco and thought it was unique but I thought every thing else was ok. Everything was a little too salty. There is plenty of seating and the food comes out pretty fast. The service isn't that great though. It took a while to get the attention of the workers. I would come back to try the puffy tacos again though.

    We've heard a lot about these puffy tacos and finally decided to give them a try. Can't miss it...signage was pretty clear and parking was plentiful, front and back. There's also a fun cartoonish photo op near the front entrance. Greeter was going to seat us smack in front of the kitchen, but looking around there were plenty of tables free! so we asked if we could sit in a booth. So odd... seating should be prioritized from desirable first, then undesirable last. Our server was sweet, and seemed new. There was a little mix up with our margaritas , but no biggie. Complimentary chips and salsa- chips were fresh and unsalted. We enjoyed the red salsa- it had a nice kick so I used it to top my tacos for extra flavor. Menu was huge, but being our first time here, we ordered what they're known for- puffy tacos! I ordered the 3 puffy taco plate and it was more than enough. I chose: Guac puffy taco- loved it! I'm a guac lover and this had a good amount. Spicy fajita chicken puffy taco- not much flavor. Skimpy amount of chicken- I honestly didn't taste anything. Piccadillo puffy taco- my fave! Seasoned ground beef - loads of flavor. The puffy taco shell, I assume are fried, but they were light and crispy, best to be eaten right away. Tacos were topped with lettuce and diced tomatoes, I chose to have them without cheese. Came with rice and I chose charro beans- good. Our tummys were full.

    Tortilla soup
    Nina W.

    The tortilla soup is an experience. I know they're known for puffy tacos (and those are delicious) BUT that tortilla soup was brilliantly created. The broth isn't added until it's at your table, melting all the right things and leaving all the crispy textures crunchy. The service is excellent and the ambiance is comfortable.

    I didn't eat in this location but we did have it delivered to us by family members. So glad they brought it!! The puffy taco was so good in my opinion. I ate it all. Never heard or seen anything like this but glad I came across it and suggested my family to bring it over. Definitely trying it again on our next visit to Texas

    I uploaded the pictures of these restaurant last year but somehow didn't write a review. Wow …read more. So where do I begin. I still remember how tasteful everything was. It was probably our most favorite place that we ate while in San Antonio. The ambiance was great, beautifully decorated restaurant with great service. The cocktails were delicious so we had a few. The food was flavorful and unique. We had a wonderful dinner with my family at Carriqui.

Y'know it's impossible to find street parking especially on the weekends normally. I had made reservations to meet some friends here for brunch/lunch 1145 am on a Sunday. This place is bigger than it looks! There's seating at the main building, plus a huge outdoor patio seating area, and an entire other building beautifully decorated. The hostess was welcoming and friendly and our server was excellent. We were seated in the other building near the windows. The menu wasn't huge, but just right with a few lunch and brunch items. After debating for a while of what to order, I decided on the Texas Gulf Shrimp plate. Agua Fresca of the day per our server was strawberry pineapple. Our server was able to water mine down slightly- since it was very sweet, but love knowing that it was freshly made. Complimentary chips and salsa always a plus, and we were able to order some spicy salsa to accompany at no charge. My shrimp plate was delicious! 2 skewers of nicely cooked and seasoned shrimp atop salsa with perfectly cooked cilantro rice and a fresh leaf salad. A half slices avocado accompanied my plate. Oh how I love avocados. I thoroughly enjoyed my plate. The chicken al carbon was also a good choice - half a chicken that was juicy, not dry. The avocado toast was beautiful and the pecan salsa was quite interesting. The female performers during our brunch in the room, made it very hard for all of us to have conversations. The volume echoed loudly in the room, so it was very hard to speak and understand each other. Although a great idea, maybe outdoor patio area might be more suitable. Beautiful space, great service, good food.

Both my wife and I ordered breakfast plates--hers was the chorizo and egg and mine, huevos rancheros. The restaurant was empty besides one diner sitting outside with her dog and one family inside which should have been a red flag to stay away. My chorizo and potatoes were cold and my beans were not hot either. This was not like it had cooled down--cold. The ranchero sauce looked bad and all of the food on my plate had no flavor, no seasoning, literally no effort whatsoever. I had a bug crawl across my hand while we were there as well. She had the issue with her plate, food was not even warm. The tortillas were hot and tasted good so that was how I warmed up my food. Our waiter also decided that he would cross the street to go speak to a woman at the little outdoor patio restaurant across the street on the corner. Not kidding, he was there for at least five or ten minutes just talking to her. I have always wanted to try Tito's and wanted something new to us but I guarantee there is no way we will ever go back. We left hungry, disappointed and embarrassed by what we just went through.
