Been wanting to try Henry's for quite some time. We had friends bring takeout a few years back and while it was good I knew it wasn't as good as it should have been. we finally made it in this week and boy was it worth the wait. Our server was super nice and on top of everything, the prices were reasonable and the portions filling and so full of taste and flavor. The queso Flameado was made table side which was a nice touch watching them fold the cheese and chorizo while the plate was on fire was a nice touch. ( I will say eat it fast as it does cool and thicken quickly). We got grilled shrimp tacos on the puffy shell along with spicy chicken fajita, ground beef and shredded chicken puffy tacos and they were all to die for. The atmosphere inside is fun, and feels so authentic. The only regret i have is that we waited so long (almost 4 years) to try this despite being told many times by friends that its a must visit. If you are in the area stop in and give it a go, i dont think you will be disappointed! read more

We had been wanting to eat here for a few years, after seeing it on Texas Eats (or maybe another similar TV program) long ago. We've seen the sign as we passed by on 410 but could not see the building. What a pleasant surprise! We expected a small Tex-Mex establishment but found a great restaurant with food at least as good as Chuy's (a favorite, but there, some interiors are better than others) with a better atmosphere. The service was exemplary, never had better! The drinks were good, but slightly more expensive than I'd prefer. I wanted a black russian but they were out of Kahula (odd, for a Mexican restaurant of this quality) so had a jalepeno margarita, which was good. I am a fan of puffy tacos and was not disappointed. The charro beans were the best I've ever had and the spanish rice was as good as I've ever been served. Though out of our normal travel routes, we will make it a destination now. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Henry’s Puffy Tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

First time here the food and service were great. Margaritas were excellent as well. Thanks!

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! read more

My wife and I had lunch here and the food was very good. If you have never had a puffy taco, you need to give them a try. My wife raved about this place and insisted that we eat here. She was a regular when she lived in San Antonio. Our server was great and I have to admit the puffy tacos were delicious, must try if you are in the area. read more

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. read more

Best damn puffy tacos in SA. The service is always great and the food is hot and tasty.

Been coming to Henry's for many years, but have been disappointed lately in their online orders. Today, they forgot an iced tea and gave us the wrong type of puffy taco in one order. Similar issues a few months ago. The receipt showed correctly what we ordered, just not executed correctly. Would love to see some sort of checking of the orders before they go out the door. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I came here with no expectations--honestly thought the puffy tacos might be gimmicky and just "so-so." I only wanted to try them out of curiosity... but wow, I ended up loving them. They were absolutely delicious, and the shells were so light and airy. And the cheese dip was yummy too. Total pleasant surprise. read more

Henry’s Puffy Tacos - Bar Area - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

So we came here again, our usual twice a month visit. We ordered the usual, two drinks, cheese dip and two puffy taco plates with a side of sour cream and a side of guac for each plate. To our surprise, the waitress explained to us that for the sides, we were charged per taco. So that was $0.79 x 8, which came out to an additional $6.84 (incl. tax) added to our bill, which also raised our tip amount. Trouble is, we were given 2 small 2oz servings per plate?!?? Look, I don't mind paying for sides, but this feels a bit excessive. Throwing a fit over $7 is stupid, but after multiple visits, these charges start adding up. IMO, there are better tex mex restaurants in San Antonio than to be poked in the eyes by Henry's Puffy Tacos' mediocre food. That's the last time that will happen to us because we're not going back until this gets fixed. read more

The worst Mexican food I have ever eaten - in 36 years in SA. I had the "street taco" plate. Just awful. Totally disgusting. No flavor. Dry. Seriously people, I LIVE IN SA? How can you get this so wrong? I would rather have gone to the Taco Bell across the street. JUst no, no, no. read more

A San Antonio staple, whether you are visiting or a local, this place is a mandatory stop. I've been here several times over the years but most recently last night for a large family get together. Our party was over 20 and the restaurant did their best to accommodate our size. Our server was great. The food is always amazing, fresh, authentic, and flavorful. You must try the puffy tacos, I recommend the Mexican cheese plate which includes one puffy taco, two cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans. If you're over the age of 21, I highly recommend the jalapeño margarita. This adult beverage only comes in a small, because it packs a punch. Its hold the highest amount of liquor they are able to put into a single drink. Great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, lots of seating. read more

I do not have enough superlatives to describe the amazing time and food I had at Henry's. The only drawback? That I had to drive. Otherwise I would have had two of their delicious margaritas! This came highly recommended on the word of our friends from SATX. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was worth the wait and then some. If you've never had a puffy taco...you are seriously missing out! They're these deep fried tortilla shells that are crispy and chewy at the same time. I got grilled shrimp with rice and refried beans... i cannot describe how good this was. I mean, I'm still thinking about it! And the margarita choices! I got their Bandera Rita, which is a clever take on the Mexican flag in margarita form. I don't know when I'll be back in SATX, but I can tell you for sure...I will be back here when I do return! read more

Love, love, love the charro beans here! Chips and salsa are always fresh, and chips are nice and crunchy. Guacamole is extra, but mine had some nice chunks of avocado and was freshly made. I had 1 chicken puffy taco, which was full of chicken, and the shredded cheese melted in the taco, making it extra tasty. I also had a picadillo puffy taco, and those are my favorites. I would have preferred a little extra lettuce and tomato, but it was still good. My server was attentive and brought everything out quickly. She kept my tea glass full and offered me a to go tea, which was awesome. It's definitely a favorite place for me. It's somewhat bustling with people, so noise is average. So many regulars here. read more

Ambiance: They definitely, from the server to the busboy, exhibit the stereotypical southern charm we hear about. Patience with my mom, drinks were refined, suggestions were offered, all in all felt well taken care of. Food: The puffy taco was amazing, although the shredded chicken was tastier than the ground beef. As someone who never tried it, I would say a puffy taco experience is a must for out of towers. The queso had the right amount of kick to it, but velveety and perfect for the chips. My wife liked it all, but felt the shrimp was underseasoned a tad, so just be aware. My mom downed her frozen margarita like there was no tomorrow, so if that is your drink of choice, go ahead. Overall, highly recommended for some authentic and innovative tex-mex read more

Henry's is a San Antonio staple for a reason. They are historically one of the original founders of the puffy taco which is now in every Tex-Mex restaurant across the state. The tortilla is as light and airy as everything you could want. The meat choices are all well prepared and exactly what you would hope for in a taco of any kind. The interior looks like any other mid range nice Tex-Mex joint but has a lot going for it. The bar is full service if you don't want to wait for a table. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. Skip out on getting drinks because in that case the prices aren't worth it. read more

The puffy tacos have a great flavor. Service was great. Ambiance was good. Had a cocktail and hit the spot.

This place was amazing! Service was on point, servers were super friendly.. My bf and I ordered the puffy tacos plate and it was so good!! Next time ill order double refried beans though cause i wasnt a fan of the rice but wasnt horrible. We saw a server pass us to take an order to another table and it was a huge wet burrito!! Omgahh im ordering that next time! All in all it was delicious and the atmosohere was fabulous!! read more

10/24/22 The menu is still extensive and the prices have gone up appreciably. We went by after an appointment, mid-afternoon after the lunch rush. A nice time to go. Service was great, quick and friendly. Husband had three puffy tacos with beef fajitas. Yuck, I say. A puffy taco is either shredded chicken or picadillo in my opinion. He thought the taco shells were left over from lunch. Also the meat was a little tough. Again, fajitas have no business in a puffy taco. I had the two enchilada plate with a puffy taco (picadillo). Next time I'll do the Tex-mex plate. The server said this plate is one enchilada and one puffy taco with the rice and beans. My plate was fine. Both plates were served hot. Thanks. Nothing so bad as cold Mexican food. The flour tortillas are pretty good, soft and don't get hard when they start to cook. I'd go back. read more
