Service was great. I had breakfast taco (potato/egg), my husband had beef fajita and my son had country egg with gravy. The tortillas were fluffy and the food was delicious and hot. We also had chips and salsa. Everything we had was delicious! We will definitely be back. This a must try! read more

As stated before the tacos were bland. Not sure where they buy the tortillas from but they are store bought. No flavor on the food was not able to finish my food. read more

This was my first time so that's why I gave it a 3. I ordered take out so they had the order ready. I could not make a finished review will have to come back and it inside to make my final review. read more

We went through the drive through for quick tacos while we were waiting for our laundry. Worst tacos we ever had. My boyfriend even said, "that was the blandest taco I ever ate in my life" I had chorizo and egg tastes spoiled or something. There was definitely a weird taste! Unfortunately couldn't eat it. read more

We like to go eat breakfast most of the time. But d and this place is awesome. The staff is very friendly and helpful. And the atmosphere is good. I feel we never felt like we had to rush. It looks clean all the times we've gone. So keep up the good work. Thank you. read more

My buddy and I dropped in at Santos Mexican Restaurant on Jackson Keller Saturday afternoon around 2pm. The restaurant was larger, than I expected and looked like they had been mopping the floors, since the mop bucket was out in the floor next to the cash register, and a couple of warning Wet Floor signs. I do suggest that they put away their mop buckets and wait until they close, before cleaning in and around patrons. It certainly, doesn't look inviting. We were seated next to a large party, and made our selections. Our waitress, unfortunately seemed inexperienced. We both told her of our selections. I asked for a glass of sweet iced tea and a glass of ice. She returned with a tray with both our teas. I again asked for a glass of ice, this time in Spanish which I speak a little. Most restaurants, don't usually put very much ice in their tea. I like mine, quite cold. I again asked the third time for a glass of ice, she returned with ice water. Unbelievable! I asked once again, and thankfully she returned with my ice. They brought a very small bowl of bought chips, which might be enough for one person, but certainly not two. The chips were mediocre, but their hot sauce was quite good. Our orders soon arrived. My buddy said his cheese enchilada plate was ok. I ordered the mini taco plate which consisted of 5 overcooked mini tacos in a corn tortillas and 2 small slices of avocado, which unfortunately weren't fresh and had turned brown and a small bowl of charra beans. The beans were tasty, until I found a long hair. I didn't eat another bite. I was totally disgusted and couldn't wait to leave. While I normally would have complained, I hadn't seen a manager, so I just opted to leave. While sadly the food was mediocre and the service lacking, I cannot forgive hair in my food. Needless to say, I will not return. San Antonio has an abundance of Mexican restaurants, I suggest you go to El Taco de Jalisco a small Mexican restaurant on Vance Jackson, just outside Loop 410. The food is great and the service is too! They also offer Free sopapillas. read more

Santos Cafe - Employees left the Mop bucket out. They should wait until they are closed, instead of cleaning while patrons are dining. - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Good food always fresh and staff is always polite. All meat Barbacoa is greet!!!!!!!!

Decided to stop by based on Yelp reviews... had to drop son off at Lee, had an hour to kill, thought I'd get tacos and coffee and play on my Star Wars app! SO... overall impression just average. FLOUR TORTILLAS - ok, but not as awesome as described by some other reviews. CORN TORTILLAS - these WERE awesome, thick and homemade - great with bean and cheese SALSAS - hot, but tasty. TACOS themselves - back to average. and I don't know when I've paid 1.49 for bean & cheese - just saying COFFEE - good SERVICE - SERIOUSLY lacking... went almost 30 minutes with NO refills - couldn't catch waitresses attention despite fact that there were 3 waitresses for 5 tables. my waitress seemed engrossed in something behind counter - her phone maybe? she FINALLY came back when I was almost done with meal. ATMOSPHERE - interior is nice, very casual but music was VERY loud I thought. maybe because restaurant was so empty - but if I'd come with someone, talking would have been difficult. 3 stars cause corn tortillas ALMOST made up for poor service - I'd really rate 2 1/2 stars. read more

Santos Cafe - Nice interior... - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Very good Mexican food. Very good prices. If you are a Hispanic food fan (and if not you should be while in SA) Santos will deliver. I got their El Pastor street tacos which were great! Their horchata was pretty good as well, and the staff is about as friendly as you could get. Great lunch spot for a lazy Sunday afternoon! read more

how are you gonna read my order back and put cheese in everything i told her my order like 5 times she even read it back to be after the like 6th time and they still got it wrong i am starving and cant even eat my taco cause they put cheese in it read more

Santos thank you for getting me through the pandemic. It's about time I write a post about you. First off the staff & cooks are amazing and do whatever it takes to make sure your experience is top notch. The owner is a wonderful person who legitimately cares about her customers. The food is always on hot and delicious I recommend the huvos rancheros for breakfast and their pork chops for lunch. Thank you again for taking care of me and my family for so many years. read more

Attentive Spanish speaking mamacitas keep your coffee cup full, hot food cooked and brought to the table with love, plates cleared timely. Glad we happened upon Santos. We will be back when in the neighborhood of castle hills. I had the Super Ranchero plate with a healthy helping of carne guisada for a mere 99 cents extra. Great big girl breakfast! read more

See all

New side of town means having to find a new place to get my breakfast taco on, the seach begins! One of my first qualms about moving "far" from my comfort zone was, where the heck am I supposed to find good menudo on freakin' Blanco Rd? Turns out if I drive just a few miles inward from 410, there are plenty of taquerias to choose from. First up, Santos Cafe. Set-up is usual taqueria-style, down-home, nothing fancy. Ordered some tacos and while the tortilla was hot and fluffy, the guts of the tacos were.. eh. The menudo was the highlight, lots of pozole, decent portions of add-ins but could use a little more spices. Still on the hunt for a new place, but Santos Cafe is going to be my fall back taqueria for now! read more

My favorite Mexican Restaurant!! I have never been disappointed. The people waiting on you and serving you are always very nice and attentive helping you with the menu items and have always gotten exactly what I ordered. It's clean and cozy. Everything on the menu is done to perfection. This is my Mexican go too restaurant. Bravo!!! read more

Most certainly the best breakfast spot in San Antonio. Love their homemade tortillas, love their bacon, love the homemade salsas and the fact that Spanish is the first language they speak here. Love their crispy tacos and just about everything else. read more

What has happened to this place?they seem to be closed since July I really enjoyed the food and the service was awsome

Gross! Don't know why people still stop by here. They have a roach problem and god knows what else in their kitchen. I've stopped going here over 3 years ago. Wouldn't recommend. read more

We like going here for breakfast every once in a while. The corn tortillas are homemade and I like ordering the nopales a la mexicana.

So I heard a lot about this place but wasn't sure what to expect because I haven't had a lot of luck on finding a place to chill and just have a drink and listen to music. This place is a gem off the beaten path.. love the happy hour here. The drinks are awesome, the food so good! And.. the music! Let me just say something different upstairs.. oh yeah so this place is small quirky set up, outside patio area.. winding staircase to the roof top where you have a really good view of SA. .. back to the music .. something different in every area .. love it... my new place yes! read more

Great Food love the place it's local and staff is friendly even though I come here for Taco's which are amazing delicious this my first time eating Dinner and enjoyed every bite. Come to Santos Cafe for Great Mexican food u love it here. read more

No one speaks english and the food is authentic and delicious. If you can get past the eye watering orange paint inside you're going to be one happy camper. read more

These are the best breakfast tacos I've had yet. The tortillas are thick and soft and the chorizo, bean, and cheese is mouth watering... literally, my mouth is watering right now. Red and green sauce is a must! Don't forget to get some lemonade. read more

This place kind of smelly and there were ants all over the place..kept on calling for my order and they never picked up the phone...waitresses we just standing there talking.... read more

We saw this place accidentally driving by. It look so colorful and busy from the outside, we decided to have lunch there. what a nice cozy and colorful Mexican restaurant. You will not go wrong here. Their Barbacoa plate was the best that I have ever had. now I am anxious to try their second restaurant on Isom. read more

This place has decent food, but the service definitely makes the experience not worth it. Others that came in after us had gotten their food before us, and after we asked about getting our food, the staff was rude. Being polite, we still thanked them after finally receiving our food. No "You're welcome" came from the waitress' mouth, so we spoke up and said thank you once again, and still nothing. read more

I'm giving this place 2 stars and that's a stretch. I've been here 3 times for breakfast related items (my friends seem to think that this a great place) and it "screams" cheapness as far as the quality of the food goes. People, this is bland food that tries to make up for it with their green/red sauces which are on the hot side. The fried potatoes, refried beans, and country sausage (which tastes like cut up weiners) are all horrid. The tortillas were on the okay side and I say "okay" because they were thin. read more

Santos Quesadilla plate is one of my standby favorites. I've never been disappointed stopping in here for lunch or dinner. Their portions are decent and the price decent as well, and you get good quality. As noted it is a little bright inside, but that's ok. I like that better than some dimly lit cluttered place. read more

Good food ugly paint bit the salsa and enchiladas make up for it always come here w the kiddos.

Wow is this place delicious! Don't expect any pomp and circumstance, just down home delicious Mexican food. Literally everything I ate was delicious. The salsas, beans, rice, guac, fajitas, and especially the tortillas. Great great spot. read more

by far the best carne guisada in San Antonio, iv been going for a few years and it's great

Breakfast was delicious!! Homemade corn tortillas were the best! We will be back when we are in town!
