My wife and I had some errands to run out at Bandera Point, so she suggested going to dinner somewhere out there. She suggested Mia's Mexican Grill. She goes there frequently with her ladies' book club for breakfast. I had never been before, but found myself suddenly wanting Mexican food. The place was pretty busy. Afterall, it was a Saturday. I took the last space available in the parking lot, and anticipated a long wait for a table. Fortunately for us, they took us to a HUGE corner booth. It was large enough for at least six adults to scoot around and sit. I was surprised considering how busy they were, but I'm not in charge of table assignments. When I looked at the menu, my eyes went directly to a plate that had my choice of two enchiladas accomapnied by my choice of a chalupa, crispy taco, fajitas, or puffy taco. Each of those had choices like chicken or beef. I also had a choice of refried beans or borracho beans. I opted for two beef enchiladas, a beef puffy taco, and refried beans. The server put my steaming hot plate in front of me along with a separate plate for the puffy taco and a container of tortillas. It was an amazing amount of food. Now, if you know me, you know I evaluate Mexican restaurants on their rice, beans, and tortillas. Mia's rice was some of the best I have ever had. The texture was perfect, and the flavor was absolutely delicious. The beans were also very good. They were nice and thick and tasted of lard. Where Mia's fell a bit short was with the tortillas. They did not pass the smell test, they were a bit dry, they were a bit hard, and they did not taste that good. However, my wife has brought me tacos from there, so I know that they are capable of making some damned good tortillas. Maybe today they had problems. I don't know. The enchiladas on my plate were substantial. There must have been at least ¼ cup of ground beef in each one. The enchilada sauce was very good. It was not too salty like so many restaurants have started making. The puffy taco was as good as any I have had anywhere. It was huge, so I ate it with a fork. I could only eat about half of it. I was STUFFED. Trust me... There is no better STUFFED than when you are stuffed with delicious Mexican food like they serve here. My wife ordered and enjoyed an al carbon salad. She had some dental work recently and has to be careful about what she tries to chew. I'm glad she enjoyed it. I am not a salad eater (hence the big butt and belly). It did not look appetizing to me. The restaurant vibe reminded me of Mexican restaurants from my childhood. The music was nice. Everything was clean. The servers and hostess were awesome. I need to go back when I can get someone else to drive so I can have a margarita with my meal. read more

I really liked the tacos here! The place was packed, which is always a great sign that the food is going to be good. Definitely worth the visit. read more

This is a favorite of mine to come too. The main selection is diverse, food is always served. Hot, fresh ingredients are noted. Drinks are also numerous and vary but always have a great taste. Isella and Tony are excellent waitress and waiter, but all the servers are good in our attentive, always refilling drinks and making sure orders are correct and delivered fresh and hot. Don't miss out on this gem of a place to eat on the west side of town at 1604 and Bandera area. You have to try the Dosaritas like below. Sip slowly as they are frozen and awesome. Very relaxed atmosphere and never rushed. read more

This place has great food, but the customer service is disgusting. They steal your points so you don't get free food. When asked about my points that had magically disappeared, they referred me to a company that has nothing to do with their points system. No accountability whatsoever. On another occasion, my elderly father went through drive-through for tacos as he always does being that Mia's is his favorite spot. When he got the total amount, he made a comment about the price going up again. The girl working the drive-through said, "well you don't have to take the food if you don't want too." I'm going to refrain from using her name. I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

Great food and service but when did the bean cheese tacos become $2.99?!! Maybe it's just me but that price for a bean n cheese taco is a little pricey to me. read more

I have left a review before but I needed to leave another review because of a beautiful experience we had at this restaurant. Our waitress Sophie G was amazing. We just experienced a loss in our family and it was my wife's first time out of the house since this happened. Sophie noticed my wife was struggling with the loss and was so compassionate and understanding. She spoke to my wife and gave her some comforting words. She went above and beyond her job as a waitress and made my wife feel much better. Sophie deserves recognition for not only being a great waitress but for going above and beyond to make us feel so much better. Thank you Sophie and thank you to Mias for hiring such an amazing person read more

Always good quality food, you can tell there are fresh ingredients and the fajitas are always good. There was a small on Father's Day but the food came out hot and fast. Would definitely recommend to anyone tired of the same old same old. read more

Mia's is nothing fancy and certainly nothing unique in a city known globally for Tex-Mex, but I've yet to find a place in San Antonio that beats their breakfast tacos. Go here for breakfast tacos (they're available all day) and thank me later! My go-to favorites are the choriquiles, "El Rey," and the barbacoa. Mia's "hecho a mano" flour tortillas are large, pillowy, diaphanous discs of beauty. No self-respecting Mexican restaurant would use store-bought tortillas, and Mia's is no different. I've been known to ask for extra tortillas on the side along with a side of butter. It's a very Mexican thing to do, apparently, as explained by my server. A Mexican-American friend/coworker once described me as an "inverted coconut" (white on the outside, brown in the middle) due to my love for the authentic stuff, tortillas and butter included! If you ask your server for tortillas and butter, chances are she will smile and give them to you for free! I struggle to think of a breakfast item more Tex-Mex in spirit than the choriquiles taco: a generous portion of eggs scrambled with cheddar cheese, crispy corn tortilla strips, jalapenos, onions, tomatoes and Mexican chorizo. The corn tortilla strips retain their crispiness, the red grease from the chorizo functions as a savory seasoning, and the acid from the tomatoes cuts through the richness. One of these bad boys would satiate a modest appetite, but I'm anything but modest. The "El Rey" taco is an even bigger beast, consisting of homemade carne guisada, refried beans, shredded cheese, and a strip of bacon. As with the choriquiles taco, the devil is in the details. The components of this taco create an alchemical reaction in my mouth. That's a good thing in case you were wondering. The guisada (essentially Mexican pot roast) is tender and flavorful, the refried beans taste of lard (yes!), and the crispy strip of bacon adds yet another layer of flavor. Pro tip: sit by yourself in the corner so you can lick the gravy off your fingers without causing a scene. As with most things, I'm picky about barbacoa, so I'm pleased to report that Mia's is the real deal. It's greasy in the most glorious way possible. Lesser establishments often incorporate various offal into their barbacoa (eyes, lips, who knows what else), but Mia's recipe consists of nothing but meat. The corn tortilla is made from scratch, which is not something I'd expect from a restaurant on the far northside of San Antonio. A generous garnish of white onion and chopped cilantro macerated in lime juice cuts through the fat and brings the entire taco together. Yelp's AI algorithm keeps bugging me to mention the "ambiance," but what can I say about a little Tex-Mex joint? Umm...it's festive? Kidding aside, the place is spotless despite the high customer turnover. Mia's even won a coveted Blue Plate Award from the health department several years ago. Look for it near the entrance. Mia's offers plenty of other items, including enchiladas, fajitas, etc., but I believe they should be locally famous for their breakfast tacos. Resist the drive-thru and eat the tacos as they were meant to be enjoyed: served fresh right to your table. read more

The food here is good. Typical Mexican food. The portions are generous. I like the atmosphere. They usually have sports playing on the TVs. The margaritas are ok. The service is usually good. They could check on us a little more often. We don't come often, but it is on our rotation. :) read more

We were in an out in about an hour, service was good, even though you could tell it was busier than normal.

Service was ok. We waited a bit to even place our drink order. The drinks did come out fast though. The guacamole is good but wayyyyy overpriced. The queso tastes like velveeta and rotel tomatoes for $9 for a condiment size cup. The cheese enchiladas tasted just a bit better than tv dinner enchiladas. The tortillas were delicious! And the margarita was ok. Not sure what all the fuss is about, but I've had better. las palapas is better. Save your money and go to Taco Bell or taco cabana. read more

I just went through the drive thru and just ordered a quick carne guisada taco to try out this restaurant since I've never been. I was so impressed with the size/weight of the bag when I first got my order because the bag felt too heavy for only one taco! Wow!!! This was probably the best carne guisada taco I have ever had!!! I will definitely be back!! Oh, the gentleman working the drive thru was extremely friendly and professional! read more

Looking for a new breakfast spot since we are new to the area. At Mia's on Bandera, around 10 AM, the parking sucks. What does that mean folks? That means we had a hard time finding a spot, but that also usually means the place is usually pretty good. After a space opened up, we waited 10 min and we were quickly seated. Chips are crappy, they are not made in house, but the red salsa was good. I had the Chilaquiles plate and my wife had the Huevos Rancheros plate. The coffee was just ok, I've had better, they need to work on this. My chilaquiles were plain, not much added, just the sauce, chopped tortillas, cheese & egg. IMO, the sauce was not spicy enough. The beans and papas were very good although I prefer the papas cooked a little more. I loved that the papas were chopped small. The tortillas here are very good. My wife had no complaints on her huevos rancheros plate. They also brought me a green salsa which was excellent. Service was excellent, ambience was decent and our overall experience was good. If you would like some decent Tex-Mex food, good service and excellent flour tortillas & salsas, this place fits the bill nicely. We will be coming here again sometime soon! read more

Meh. We ordered the Gulf Shrimp enchiladas with cilantro cream and the grilled chicken breast with chipotle sauce. It was very heavy. The cilantro sauce was chalky and tasteless. It's okay but there are so many other Mexican restaurants in San Antonio that are better. read more

I don't eat cheese; but, I love nachos. I thought I found a restaurant that could make my nachos without cheese and still be good. Yesterday, I ordered bean and cheese nachos, WITHOUT cheese. I asked the server to put lettuce and tomatoes on them. I've ordered this from Mia's before and it was done great! This time, the guy charged me $1.99 for lettuce and tomatoes (a second guy confirmed this, in spite of my complaint that I'm not getting cheese; it costs more than lettuce and tomatoes). He insisted lettuce and tomatoes don't come with nachos. I gave up; they then wasted two plastic containers to put the l&t in--not ON the nachos. In the end, I paid $15 for some sad, soggy, cold nachos. I don't like to stereotype but, the women taking orders get it right; they did it twice before. It's just common sense. These two men couldn't think outside the box. read more

Great service and even better food!! If you have not eaten here, you are missing out!

Bottom Line Up Front: delicious Mexican food reasonably priced in a clean, inviting environment with attentive, hard-working staff members. We have been to several Mexican restaurants in San Antonio, and most are good but missing one or two pieces of the puzzle. For example, some will have great tamales, but the rice will be off. Some will have great rice, but the refried beans are off. Mia's is good in every aspect! I would compare it to the food you'd get at your Mexican grandmother's house. You will find homemade tortillas, delicious refried beans, and Mexican rice that is not too moist, overcooked, or over-flavored. I had the flautas, and they were so fresh! Chicken and cheese inside melted to perfection, and a side of warm tortillas that I used to eat my refried beans. Dessert was a plate of sopapillas dusted with cinnamon and sugar with honey. I am from New Mexico, and this food was similar to what I would find in Albuquerque. I Almost forgot to mention the salsa! Delicious salsa with a thicker texture than most. Not chunky, just a thicker consistency and without the giant flakes of cilantro...IYKYK. Give it a try if you are near the area, you won't be disappointed. read more

Very poor value. They wanted 20+ dollars for a bowl of plain fideo and a fajita taco. Prices on the website are significantly lower than what they'll charge you once you get to the restaurant. Edit: the owner is mistaken in their response. Their online menu that I'm routed to when visiting their website lists the tortilla soup at $10.50. In restaurant it is $13.50 before tax. That three dollar difference may not seem like much to you but to me it's the difference in whether I'm going to make the effort to visit your restaurant or not. All combos related to the tortilla soup are also higher than listed. You may not realize that you're misleading customers, but you are. Removing a star for the condescending and inaccurate response. Owner could have just taken the opportunity to look into the matter rather than brush it off and assume that I don't know what I'm talking about. read more

Service was excellent! Ambulance festive nice food was excellent had the pile of nachos plenty of meat cheese guacamole could have been more wife had 32 oz margarita oh boy was it good except to wait in evenings 20-40 but worth waiting!! read more

Nothing spectacular but good. The prices were right but I felt the portions to be on the lighter side. I had the Asadaquiles (Steak Omelette ver tortilla chips) The flavor of the steak was just ok and the eggs were a bit watery. It featured peppers, tomatoes and onions but not sure they were seasoned at all. The atmosphere was more like a Taco Cabana and not very warm. The service was ok but just quick. It was clean and well lit so that was nice. This place is close to me so I'll probably try them again but not sure what I'll be expecting. This go round, it was just ok. read more

I tried this place with my mother today for lunch.

Dear Jennifer Salas owner, I do not appreciate the response that you provided to me about the review that I left. It was not a threat. I was not trying to get anything free and I have been a customer at your restaurant since the beginning when you opened it is not my responsibility as a customer to check my order I do not work at the restaurant , I find it insulting and very unprofessional that is your response. I have recommended your restaurant to many neighbors, family, and friends over the past years and for you to write that kind of response to me for a couple of tacos that may be cost you a couple of dollars-and queso that I assure you does not cost you $13 is completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I will never patronize your restaurant again. as I had shared, it had not been the first or second time that this had happened to us and our time is valuable. read more
