    Hot, fresh tortillas
    Leon W.

    Ate lunch on Wednesday with my sister and friends. This was my first visit to Patty's restaurant and the food was great! Puffy Tacos are my favorite and they didn't disappoint. The puffy taco tortillas were perfectly fried and the inside ingredients were just right, not too much lettuce. The refried beans were bland but the Spanish rice was excellent. The large beverage was just enough, I didn't have to order a second round. RECOMMENDATION: Patty's is great for your Mexican cravings!

    CHILAQUILES

    Get there early or get in line. This HOUSE gets packed. 9am and the wait is on. Lucky for me, I was on the VIP list. This visit wasn't just for my enjoyment but also support as they switched POS SYSTEM to Toast. As you know I tell it how it is. Customer service is on point. The waitress was friendly and always smiling. She didn't rush us and answered all questions we had about the menu. She also came by to refill our coffee in perfect times. As a former Kitchen Manager I expect great quality foods. This starts with a tasting of the foods I order. I ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce and added 2 over medium eggs. The Chilaquiles come with beans, potatoes and tortillas. This Place has been open for 38years and I can see why. Or should I say taste why. The red sauces was delicious. Eggs cooked perfectly. And the rest was good. I shall return to try the barbacoa and menudo. Our house tradition for Sunday breakfast..

    #17 Grande Ranchero Plate Two eggs, ham, two bacon strip, and two sausage patties. Served with beans & potatoes.

    Loved this place!! Came to have a breakfast date with the husband. Coffee was endless and the staff was friendly. Over medium eggs were on point!! And that's saying something because not a lot of places are great at it. I don't believe sugar free syrup for the pancakes/waffles is available though. The staff was efficient the whole way starting with seating and taking orders through cleaning up after people have left their tables. Everyone was on their game today and it showed. The food was really good too. Only thing I personally didn't enjoy very much was the sausage patty. Tasted like it was a previously frozen item you can grab from the grocery store. But everything else was good so no hate whatsoever. We will definitely be coming back to try more items and of course visit with such a great staff. Keep up the great work everyone!!

    Patty's Taco House Patty's Taco House is an authentic Mexican restaurant. You can tell by the people inside the restaurant how dirty it is inside and the menu selection. Our server was not that great because I had to ask twice for something. I don't really expect authentic Mexican restaurants to have good service even Chinese. I ordered the Mexican plate so I could try as many things they serve. The plate is huge with 3 different choices with rice refried beans and flour or corn tortillas. The taste is kinda similar to Taco Bueno, or Taco Bell but a tiny bit better in quality and more authentic menu. The Mexican plate had a crispy taco which was soggy on one side and crispy on the other. Because the taco shell is not a tortilla chip but a deep fried soft corn tortilla. The ground beef inside the taco is flavorful. The Chalupas or (tostadas) are a flat crispy corn shell topped with lettuce tomatoes and meat and was not bad. The enchiladas are different then other enchiladas. The tortilla is less soft then a regular enchilada it has more chew here. They top it off with sauce and they are not baked for that long. They serve tortillas with your meal. You can choose from flour and corn, but the corn tortilla is less fluffy then the flour. They make their tortillas in house so they taste warm and fresh. I liked the flour better then the corn because it was not as fluffy but the corn is more authentic. The fajita beef was tender and had good flavor with grilled onions and bell peppers; It tasted only ok and the same as any other Mexican restaurant. The intestines and pig feet soup smelled bad but tasted really good. The aroma of the lungs and feet are in the taste. It tastes like it smells. Overall good flavor and different texture from the pig feet and intestines. The flavor is like a stew. Overall this place was ok and nothing surprised me. This place taste similar to a chain Mexican restaurant. Only different is that they have a more authentic menu.

Having grown up in San Antonio, I have literally been to Mi Tierra's 100s of times. When you walk into the restaurant you experience immediate sensory overload (so much to see where it is hard to focus)...papel picado strung everywhere...in different colors...in different textures...metallic and paper...wow wow wow!!! In addition, there are artful configurations clustered with lots of color and spiritual references highlighting the Mexican American culture. Also, there are pinatas strung from the ceiling in metallic colors, which is a bit unusual for pinatas (usually made from paper). The restaurant also has stained glass windows and a mural. On this particular occasion, I was in the restaurant for bakery goods. Mi Tierra specializes in Mexican pastries. It looked like it would be a quick in and out, however, with so many sweets, every customer asked questions and deftly decided on their sweets de jour. Since I waited for a bit, I decided on three...peanut brittle (the hubs said he had not had any since childhood), pecan praline (for me) and a pecan pound cake (split between the hubs and myself). All were incredible delicious. Yep, we ate them all in one day. It is important to note that the prices in the bakery are extremely reasonable. Excellent sweets experience...

    Party of 2 on Monday 1730…read more OVERALL Great service, great food, great ambiance. SERVICE Seated right away. Mario was our kind and happy server. He provided great recommendations. He checked us often and refilled our waters often. CHIPS AND SALSA Complimentary. Tortilla chips are freshly made, oil it was cooked in tasted well, and the salsa was flavorful with roasted ingredients. FLOUR TORTILLA Very fresh, the right amount of salt and moisture, hot, toasted perfectly, just the right thickness, and teared apart very well. CHALUPA COMBO The chalupa was made with a typical crispy tortilla. Placed next to the enchilada so it made it a bit difficult to grab since one half of the chalupa got soggy. EL RANCHO SPECIAL Recommended by Mario. Selected beef tips. The beef was very tender and flavorful, the sauce was flavorful with spice and savory, the rice/beans were well seasoned and flavorful. The guacamole/lettice/cheese was placed into a taco shell. The guacamole was very fresh and had a great texture with varying chunks of avocado. ENCHILADA POBLANO The shredded chicken was juicy and well seasoned. The poblano mole sauce was mildly creamy, tasted of delicious poblanos, seasoned well, and added a refreshing contrast to the savory chicken filling. The pickled onions were a refreshing addition and had a great snap to them. AMBIANCE Feels like we were in a home. The place is decorated vibrantly. The decorations were also very bright and clean. The booth was comfortable and relaxing.

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!
