    Late breakfast. Steps away from Marriott
    Elly P.

    All the foods are as it should be homemade and just delicious. Service is friendly and super fast Great ambiance. Like a local hang out

    Half Order Picadillo Nachos
    Phoebe F.

    I have eaten here numerous times over the past several years with varying experiences; however, this past Sunday, redemption was served in the form of friendly service, strong margaritas, and tasty Tex-Mex. It was National Margarita Day, so they were extra busy, but our waitress was engaging, prompt, and provided the best service we have ever received here. Our original margaritas with a salt rim were a pleasant addition in honor of such a great day. Although they also offer more authentic Mexican cuisine, my partner and I were craving the basics. She had the fajita flameado, and I had a half order of picadillo nachos. Boy, did they both hit the spot. Looking forward to more visits like this one!

    We came here before a field trip with our daughter. Service was great, food was good, we would come back if we were in the area. Nothing really wowed me to the point where I would recommend to others if they were looking for a great taco place. I love the ads on the tables.

    My favorite Mexican restaurant in San Antonio! Open for breakfast and lunch, so make sure you plan accordingly. Service is always spot on! Quick and friendly. Plenty of seating with a feel at home ambiance. Pete's flour tortillas are a little bit different than others, but that what sets them apart. Think of fluffy clouds of goodness with a melt in your mouth taste. Complementary chips & salas always hit the spot but don't forget the Chile con Queso or Queso Flameado. When I can't decide what I want, I always head to the "Takos" menu... pick some of my favorite meats and don't forget to add some guacamole inside for extra flavor

    The food was delicious and reasonably priced! Our waitress was kind and attentive. The vibe is very family and community oriented. They even had community advertising on the tables! What a lovely business.

    We go pretty much every Sunday now to get their breakfast tacos. The restaurant is nice cute Mexican restaurants but the only time we decide to eat at the restaurant the service took kinda long so from there we just decided to order to go. We are interested in coming for dinner since the drinks look pretty yummy!

    I'm not sure if we came on an off day, but the food was not tasty. The rice was WAY over cooked, it was like mush. The puffy taco was underwhelming as well, which was so disappointing because that was the main thing I wanted to try. Service was good.

    Visiting San Antonio. Our first experience with, puffy takos, aka tacos. Puffy tacos are not soft not fried crispy, they're in between. Pete's tako house will fill the puffy tacos with anything you can imagine. This place has been reviewed thousands of times. My review is not much different. Great service, quantity of food is excellent and the ambiance is homey and local. Just be sure you know what side of the road you park. One side is free, the other is not. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by. A real classic

    Chilaquiles Plate
    Jennifer B.

    Good food and reasonable prices. Chilaquiles wasn't our favorite as it tasted more like nachos. But everything else was pretty good.

    I came here based off the reviews. It's not far from where I was staying downtown as well. Once you walk inside you see locals lining up for lunch as this place is only opened until 3pm. After getting seated if your entire party is there and the menu is given you get asked what do you want to drink? Then it takes awhile for that to be given to you and your order to be taken. The service is really a hit or miss and mine was a miss. When I needed the server, she wasn't around. The food took forever. Regarding the food for starters the chicken on the stick was ordered (it was like a thin boneless pounded chicken piece on a stick.) I also ordered a cup of fideo loco which was a noodle soup. The brisket plate was alright, I needed the salsa to give it a bit of flavor as it was quite bland. The tacos (takos) were huge if you were to compare it to the size of a regular taco. Maybe if I ordered something else, perhaps, it would have turned out to be a better meal.

    Chorizo and Potato Taco

    This place was recommended to us by the coffee stand next door. The service was very friendly and the tacos tasted great.

    I was passing through the Alamo City and you know I just had to stop by for some morning fuel and…read moreroadie tacos! This time, I didn't forget to take some pics for y'all. However, this time I had something I hadn't tried before, which was the portobello torta, check the pic posted here, but I warn you, if a pic says 1k words, then a taste says a bagillion words (is that even English ?). But that's what happens when umami meets Mexican bliss. When your order is taken with pleasure and prepared before your eyes at this bustling establishment, it's flair mixed with fair. Go check out what has me coming back for more, time and time again. As I left, with my road tacs, the owner reminded me that the food travels well, I neglected to inform her that I didn't expect them to make it very far . Again, it's a must see scene here at Plantaqueria- hope to see y'all there.

    My husband and I tried a few items here over a couple visits…read more The Machacado con huevo, here called La Macha with housemade jackfruit machacado scrambled with a vegan egg mix. (It had Just Egg but I think other things added with it. It felt that it was softer and lighter than if it was only Just Egg) and pico de gallo on handmade flour tortilla. We were surprised by how much we enjoyed it. Their two self-serve complementary salsas were also fun and creamy. Concha- Delicious and we liked the top of it. Maybe one of our favorite conchas. Elote hot cake - Came out really hot and was delicious. These are only available on weekends. I was tempted to get more but we had lots more food targets on the schedule. Torta with Asada was pretty good too. But the other items excited me more I think. The person at the front also gave us some samples of other taco fillings to try: the fillings of the La Ranchera: Potatoes and pico de gallo in salsa ranchera and also grilled nopales. My husband who is usually not as crazy as me about nopales liked them here. They have mole on the weekends but it's not housemade from scratch. They use premade mole and add some more things to it so we skipped that one. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

    My wife and I stopped by Los Weyes De La Asada while we were at El Camino. I'd heard good things…read moreabout it, and seeing the charcoal grill going outside immediately got my attention. The smell alone made me think we were in for something special. We grabbed a couple of cocktails and ordered tacos, which seemed like the obvious choice. The tacos were good, but that's about where I'd leave it. They weren't bad at all, but they also weren't particularly memorable. With the aroma coming from the grill and all the recommendations I'd heard, I was expecting a little more flavor and a bigger wow factor. The atmosphere was fun, the service was good, and the charcoal grill definitely adds to the experience. I just found the food itself to be more "solid" than "spectacular." I'd rate it about a 7 out of 10. Worth trying if you're already at El Camino, but not a place I'd go out of my way for.

That's exactly the energy at Los Weyes de la Asada. From the second you walk up, it feels alive. Not in a forced way, more like you've been there before, even if it's your first time. The kind of place where your stress, your diet, even your cruda takes a backseat. Now the food. No overthinking needed here. Everything coming out of that truck is a straight up pow pow of flavor. The carne is cooked just right, juicy with that perfect char, and the corn tortillas are legit, soft but with enough structure to hold everything together. I ordered the Mamón and the Chingón, and honestly, both lived up to the names. No misses. And the agua fresca de fresa? That sealed it. They serve it in a little bolsita, which somehow makes it hit even better. Simple, nostalgic, and just cool. It's all tucked inside El Camino, which adds to the whole vibe, string lights, people hanging out, that easygoing outdoor feel where you lose track of time a little.

The line may look intimidating, however, it moves extremely quickly, and you'll be eating in no time. From standing in the line to sitting with maybe about 15 to 20 minutes total and I definitely think the hot air outside exaggerated the time. Yet, once we were inside the cool air, and the amazing smell made the wait desirable. Ordering a simple, you go up and you just say what meat you want and the number of tacos. I got three including brisket, steak, and al pastor. Those come with radishes, cucumbers, lime, and lots of cilantro and onion, of course. As you're standing in line, server will come by to ask if you want any drinks and prep a table for you we got a lemonade, a large one to share. Which was five dollars, and a refill will come at the cost of $1.08. There's a lot of meat in these tacos, while I got three, I only made my way through two sadly because I wanted to finish them all. The salsa you'll get at your table are two different types of green and a red one. The red one is hotter, but the green still has hints of heat. Both are delicious, but I could only manage to slather the green one on my food. At the end of your meal, you'll go up and pay at the counter by telling them how many tacos you had and that's it. There's tons of parking available, while the lights on the side may look busy they actually own the building next-door and all the parking in the back is available to utilize. If you're in San Antonio for any reason, I definitely recommend to stop here. This was the highlight of my trip. Despite the fact, I don't know if I'll return to the city.

    My wife and I use to frequent this place YEARS ago, the service was good and the food was good,…read moreyears later we decided to go back & mannn the food quality & service has went down terribly! Pulled up on a Friday late night with my family ordered the standard 5 tacos. They are a bit pricey as well. I ordered the carne Asada and my mother in law ordered the chicken. While it did seem like it tasted good it was super greasy. (TMI coming up) When I woke up the next morning my I noticed my bowels were literally moving the next day, (I counted about 9 times). I felt bloated and everything. My wife even told me that as we were pulling off she witnessed the cook I believe his name is Julio eating some of the product while he was preparing peoples food (the side door of the food truck was open so you could see right in). Funny enough we decided to go back Saturday evening to give them another try, thinking it would be better, BOY was we wrong. I ordered the same order plus charro Beans, elote (corn in a cup) and 3 cans of sprite. This time we took literally one bite and the meat was DRYER than the Saharan desert both the carne asada and the chicken. (Tasted like some reheated old meat or meat that had been made days prior). We were already at the hotel at this point and was infuriated!!! We ended up calling and I believe I spoke to Julio (or whoever the cook is) over the phone. After lying saying that he cooked the meat fresh that day he stuttered I told him aint no way the meat was fresh. He then said and I quote " I cooked the meat "a couple days ago" then said "sorry I burnt it or overcooked it". (Knowing that why would you serve that to me?) I then stated "yes it tasted old period". I requested a refund in which he agreed to. Driving all the way back I brought the food back as well. Julio (or whoever the cooks name is) tried to plead his case to me saying that the meat is fresh and took a fork and tasted the food himself and then tried to offer me the food. I told him "no I don't want to taste it, just refund me please" in which he did. Dishonesty, Not handling food with care, lying. Is something that crosses the line and I won't be back. *Also if the owner is reading this I have the phone conversation recorded and the video evidence to show proof this whole interaction, so do not just glaze over this review* I don't like writing bad reviews, but this one is for sure warranted. Seems like they will dress up the taco and selling you some "old meat" people just be careful and mindful when coming to this taco truck. "The Earths Best Taco" they say... that's a stretch!
