I've lived in this area and have passed this place daily on my commute. I don't know how I had never stopped in for a meal or a taco. They have pretty good Mexican food. Their tacos are big. I had mine on fresh corn tortillas. My bean and cheese had the right amount of cheese. I ordered a papa ranchera. I will say that the salsa that came with it was super bland. They do have a green salsa that will definitely clear your sinuses. The place is small, but has enough seating. The day I went, there was only one server. He did a great job managing all the tables. Prices are excellent too. read more

Short review: Would go, but only to dine in, they skimp on the to-go tacos. I ordered tacos to-go, I thought the flavor was good, but unfortunately they give you very little; like a small scoop of whatever you asked for. I ordered the carne guisada with cheese, and a bean and cheese with bacon, they give you more tortilla than food. I thought the ambiance was very cozy, this is pretty good "homemade" food. I'm sure if you dine in, the experience would be way better than to-go. The customer service is okay, don't expect smiles and cheery persona's here, it's like going to see your family at their place of employment. For what it's worth, I would go again but only to dine-in, this review pertains to my to-go experience. Took one star off for the very little portions of food they gave, and another for no salsa or napkins and dismissive customer service. read more

Plenty of food for a great price, all delicous. Fast service, cute interior. Highly reccomend.

I would give a negative if I could. DO NOT get the catering!!! This is some of the most disgusting food I have ever tasted! Why is a Mexican restaurant serving "Italian" food??? As you can see from the picture the veggies were so overcooked they were discolored. I didn't bother trying them. The marinara on the spaghetti was super sweet and tasted processed and out of a jar. The meatballs also tasted processed and like FEET! The white sauce, that I think was supposed to be Alfredo, was disgusting. It was processed and out of a jar. It was super weird. It was so processed I think it would survive an apocalypse. The chicken was actually one of those processed patties with more than 1 type of meat. It was dry and gross. They actually served a dinner roll with "Italian" food. The roll was cold, hard, and smelled funny. We had to go out to eat after the event was over because no one ate. It was sooooo gross! read more

Jenny's Mexican Restaurant - This is some of the most disgusting food I have ever tasted! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My family and I have been customers for almost 30 years here! It's a small hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. I believe they have almost all the same waitresses since we started going there. They are very nice and provide wonderful service. Chips stay refilled and drinks. The food has always been delicious and so well priced! I come from half way across town to go by here when we go to visit my family. Always worth it. read more

Very good breakfast tacos! I will definitely be coming back. Big fluffy delicious tortillas.!!!! read more

Jenny's Mexican Restaurant - Carne guisada - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is a hidden gem. Not far from Sea World or the Hyatt hotels on Military Drive. We were the only gringos in the place. The service & food were outstanding. Been to Mexico many times and would find the same down there, guaranteed. Mula plate & the gorditas were awesome. Great salsas, too. We will return here! read more

You're given chips and red salsa when you sit down. The chips are nice and crispy. The red salsa is delicious with a hint of spice. The chicken gorditas came with rice and beans. The gorditas were delicious and tasted like what we've gotten in Mexico. The beans while good lacked a little in flavor. The mula plate beef was amazing. Green sauce is pretty spicy. Service was really good. read more

We have been eating at this restaurant for about 25 yrs and the food has always been delicious.

Was running a couple of errands in the area and I always like to explore and try different places to eat...So I decided to come in and try Jenny's. I am pleased to say I'm glad I did ...I tried The San Antonio plate ...1 Puffy and 2 cheese enchiladas rice n beans...it was all Fantastic and the tortillas were Fluffy and soft not too thin or thick I look forward to returning and trying other items...and The Carne Guisada was tasty as well ...but it didn't make it to the pic!!!! The establishment is nice and tidy and cozy...not fancy and frilly the best locales to enjoy are the comfy ones...Buen Provecho read more

We were not disappointed! My family and I came in just before heading out to Sea World! We needed something quick and easy and that is exactly what we got! The staff was super friendly and the food was INCREDIBLE! I highly recommend coming to Jenny's Mexican Restaurant if your in the area! read more

Always served with a great smile. Food and prices are great too. Never had any issues with freshness.

I have been coming to Jenny's since middle school, I'm 28 now. They have always been the place to go and grab tacos before school. Their food has mainly stayed the same; I always get the Milanesa plate with extra rice, or the Mula plate. (Cut up steak topped with cheese). Delish!! Well, today, the family and I go for our usual Saturday morning brunch, and when the food comes out, all I can say is WOW! The Milanesa and my husband's carne asada was like on steroids! The steak was plump, juicy, and oh so tender! The lettuce , tomato, and guacamole were amazingly fresh; a big change from the way they use to be. My son had the kids picadillo w/ rice plate, and even HE ate everything. This of course surprised me, since he is the pickiest of eaters! Whatever Jenny's did, KEEP IT THAT WAY! We'll definitely come back, this just made me that more excited!! GREAT JOB! read more

My friend said she had eaten here before but that the chips we stale. I was like so why did you want to some here? Since I had never been maybe they got better. We drive right past a place that posted $5.99 lunch special included a tea! Well we already here and hole in the wall places should be good right? With only one other car in the parking lot and one customer inside the waitress was not happy to see us. She brings us the chips and they weren't stale but tasted of old oil gross! Looking over the menu prices were around $8! Wow I was blown away I could have eaten somewhere way nicer for that price. So I order huevo rancheros that was at least $5. The eggs were cooked right but the potatoes were cooked in the same old oil yikes! So never coming here again! But the place that had the $5.99 special including tea, I have been several times since and the food and the prices are always great! read more

I came here cuz I saw good reviews but I wasn't very impressed.... I ordered the mole enchiladas which had a sour after taste. The rice and beans were okay. I would probably come back for the breakfast plates though which were cheap and looked pretty good from what my friends ordered. read more

This place is the best-kept secret in San Antonio! Fresh and authentic Mexican food from a kind and attentive staff. My best friend and I eat lunch once a week at this place and it is always a great experience. Let me start with the specials. Every day they offer very affordable breakfast and lunch specials that won't break your wallet but will fill you up with a tasty meal. With the breakfast specials they have eggs and chorizo and breakfast tacos that are simple and delicious. With the lunch specials you get a discount off the menu price of selected entrees with iced tea included (available Monday through Friday only). Let me also take a minute to rave about the staff. Their staff is small, clearly a small family-run business, but oh-so-attentive and delightful. Most of them are bilingual and a few don't speak English as a first language but they are all dedicated to making you a happy customer one way or the other. Next is the elegant simplicity and freshness of the food. They do not overdo it on the spices or smother everything with cheese, as you often find with Tex Mex. No, this place is authentic Mexican food, which means minimal spices are added and only to bring out the natural flavor of the freshest and highest quality. I would recommend a favorite dish if I had one but the truth is I have enjoyed everything I have ever eaten here, even Mexican dishes I did not previously consider myself a fan of. It is all served hot, fresh, perfectly cooked and robust with flavor. Having been a visitor to Mexico many times from the border to the interior I have to say this is as authentic a Mexican dining experience as you can get. It is also where many Mexican-American customers eat which is always a good sign that you are getting an authentic meal experience. I've recommended the place to many people and everyone I know who has been there says it is fantastic. Just to recap, it is inexpensive, fresh, mouth-watering, and the staff is kind and attentive. I hope you will give it a try because you deserve a treat. read more

Very small restaurant, but was not crowded when we went in. You seat yourself but there's not a sign or anyone telling you....so we stood there for a few until we asked someone. Waiter came pretty quickly and brought us chips (which were warm, a good plus) too our drink order while we looked at the menu. We ordered upon his return. Then the wait was on.....took FOREVER to get our food. We were not in a hurry but geez....the 4 yr old was starving. When the food came finally, I did not get what I had ordered. But was I going to send it back??? And wait another 30min?? Husbands food was ok, kids taco was ok. Would we eat here again. Nope. The quality of food was not worth the wait. At all. read more

This is my family's go-to spot for breakfast tacos. We really enjoy the coffee, chips and salsa, and sometimes we order breakfast. No frills, just good old fashioned food. read more

Pretty good place overall, waitresses remember us only after 2 visits and are very friendly! I dread going to the toilets in public places like the majority of people due to the fact that clean ones are rare in this city, thankfully the toilets here were clean! Huge plus. And lastly the price, oh my god the price; its amazing how much you get for 6 bucks in this place! The quality of food is great, and coffee has not been stale on any of my visits. All around good place. read more

Great service, food was good, restaraunt seemed very clean which is a MAJOR plus here in San Antonio, where cleanliness is not a priority.,.only criticism is that when I ask, "Is the menudo red?" and the waitress says, "Oh,yes!" and then the menudo comes out and it's NOT red....sigh...otherwise it seems okay read more

I came here for breakfast tacos with my girlfriend. We were not disappointed on our food. Everything came out great. The food was not greasy at all and I left fully satisfied. Employees there were very friendly as well. I can see myself coming back here very soon. read more

The food is pretty good. My only gripe is that the carne guisada is a bit too red and watery. The gravy could be thicker. Also, no one at the register until a waitress is free, which makes it difficult to get in & out when you're in a hurry. Overall, okay food and nice place but it could be better. read more

Jenny's is our hands-down favorite for breakfast Tacos in SA. For years we would go to the south side, but why bother - Jenny's is the best. Amazing Tortillas, great service, affordable prices. Delish! read more
