Waited 20min and no one acknowledge us. 2 tables sat down after we did, their order was taken, chips and drinks on the table, and we were ignored. Got up to walk out, the waitress said to us, "I'm ready to wait on you". No thanks. Walked out and no acknowledgement again from anyone else. Employees were even sitting down up front. read more

Sely's Mexican Restaurant - Only photo I took since we never got food. - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Food is pretty good but service is horrible! It isn't worth the food to me. Waitresses just stand in the front talking and don't come to you at all. Every time I've gone I've had to physically get up to ask for something. They need to do better. read more

Came to town and heard they had breakfast here. The service overall is unacceptable. It took forever to get our meal, we could not get anything we asked for. None of the waitstaff understands English. The food was not cooked properly. Not recommended. read more

Sely's Mexican Restaurant - This is a photo of one of our plates. These pancakes are burned and scorched. Not eatable. - Mexican Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Sely's! The food at this place is awesome, from their breakfast to their dinners absolutely awesome food. Their service is good, the wait staff stays attentive to your needs. My family and I have been there twice now and both times we've had very pleasant experiences. 100% recommendation! Next time you're wanting to satisfy your Mexican food cravings give Sely's a shoot!! You will not be disappointed! read more

OK, so we returned yesterday...ordered two Thursday Specials (6 PM.) 2 Cheese Enchiladas 2 Puffy Beef Tacos Guacamole Rice & Beans Corn Tortillas (homemade) $5.49 at supper time (the daily special runs 11-close) There are now bilingual waitstaff, so communication was no problem. I ordered extra gravy for my cheese enchiladas, onions on both mine and Dad's...no problem...delivered as ordered...we actually got a lot of onions, so in future orders, we will just get them on the side (same as the first visit....no big deal.) I forgot to talk about the salsa in my initial review...it has a little bit of a bite (for chili-heads) and is just a tad bit heavy on black pepper, but not overly so. You may ask for the green jalapeno sort, which is a wee bit higher on the Scoville scale, and I did. The cheese they use is the creamy kind, not the stringy sort that you have to coil onto your fork for a few gyrations before it snaps away from the plate. The picadillo DOES NOT contain potatoes...I can take either way, but Dad WILL NOT go back to a place that has papas in the picadillo. Another picadillo plus is that it is not in the least bit greasy...you know...the kind that was made from 70-30 ground beef (or worse), which, in the end, leaves that oh-so-obvious shiny clear puddle on the plate...and that's AFTER a good bit has so kindly taken up residence in the bow of the taco shell. Bottom line: great service, tasty Tex-Mex (not Jalisco style, THANK GOD)..... and we'll be back. read more

The enchis have come up to par and 'The Tort's' food has gone downhill. Sely's is no longer La Tortillita, the sequel. Sely's is the new Tort. Viva Sely's! (especially since rumor is this is owned by the ex-wife of The Tort's owner.... she moved on after he married that dum-dum with the big fake boobies...the one who charged different amounts for food like she was making it up) read more

New 2019 menu! Small spot near Randolph Air Force Base and Schertz Parkway. We stopped for dinner and the food was delicious! Tortillas are fluffy, rice and beans are tasty, plus their daily special lasts all day. I'll be coming by again for breakfast. read more

I'm not sure if the color of our skin matters but we go in wait for someone to help us. One of the waitress tells us there is a table in the back, so we go and sit down. literally 8-10 mins later seeing 3 or 4 waitresses, nobody helped us. So I stood up to walk out, finally the girl cleaning the tables gets someone. The waitress who she retrieved then told us, you can't sit here....then she walked to the kitchen and grab coffee to serve someone. Immediately appalled, we left. DO NOT EAT here! service and staff are rude. I called the place after I left to speak to a manager or owner, the person who answered said hold on and then got back on the phone to say how can I help you?, I wanted to talk to the manager or owner however apparently the staff can be whoever they want there because the gentleman who answered the phone all of a sudden became the manage after he got back on. I hope this place realizes that treating people like they are different because of skin is disrespectful and not warranted. Good luck with future business, I will not be back. read more

Really one of the best breakfast tacos in the area. Positives: Opens at 5a except Sunday for those of us that are early risers. Nice portions. Eggs are fluffy, obviously paid attention to while cooking. Bacon is crisp and not full of fat. Tortillas are good and salsa is tasty. read more

After living in the area for 2 years, i finally decided to try Sely's for lunch on a Monday. The special for today was lunch fajitas for $5.99. When ordering, i asked the waitress if i could get mixed fajitas, instead of just chicken, or just beef. She says yes. When the food comes out, it's basically just sautéed onions with 6 tiny slivers of what i could hardly make out as chicken or beef. But i thought, it's $5.99, who cares. After my meal, i go to the register to pay. The lady tells me it will be $10.63...... i explain i got the lunch fajitas and that in the menu it says $5.99. She then tells me that the lunch special doesn't apply to mixed fajitas..... well there's something that should have been brought up.... i tell her i wouldn't have got the fajitas if i would have been paying $11 for them, and she just shrugs her shoulders... not wanting to hold up the line of people behind me, i decide to pay without causing a scene. This is absolutely unacceptable. Definitely crossing Sely's off the list. read more

The best Mexican food in Schertz, hands down. I'd even venture to say one of the best in the San Antonio area. The food is great, my favorite is the burrito plate. The portions are huge and the service is always good. Also, you can't beat their happy hour, $2 domestic beers. Look no further if in Schertz and need your Mexican food fix. read more

One of the Best places for great Mexican Food on the Northeast side. Tasty Verde sauce and red Best enchiladas and sauce. Refried beans always tasty..... Great lunch specials Food is worth the wait........ read more

This place SUCKS! The WORST customer service ever. I walked in and 2 of the servers were just casually having a conversation amongst themselves. They both looked at me and carried on their conversation for about another minute before asking how they can help me. The lady gave me my bag of food that was overflowing and falling apart. Then I had to go back for the chips and salsa that I ordered and claimed that they never got it on the ticket. So they charged me an additional 5.45 for a small ass bag of chips and a little shot of salsa. My family comes to Selys every weekend and they just dont seem to care that they are delivering shitty service. My family and I will not be returning to sellys in a million years!!! STAY AWAY from Selys! read more

Delicious food and great service. Our "go to" for Mexican food. The restaurant isn't fancy but it's clean and welcoming.

This is my new found go to for bfast tacos. So quick and efficient. Very nice staff. Would love to make time to dine and try other options soon. read more

Just recently moved back to Texas. Had to test a few restaurants before coming across Sely's. This is the best Mexican food I've had since coming back. Blanca is amazingly sweet. Service is great. Food is amazing. I won't eat Mexican anywhere else now. Their green sauce is fire. Eat it with my carne guisada tacos at least twice a week for breakfast. read more

Came in and had some food it was pretty basic nothing different from the surrounding restaurants. Nothing left me in awe about this place to make me need to return. ....10 hours later....I can't sleep, battling the acid reflux from this places food. read more

Just had breakfast here last week Sunday, around noon, it was busy but not packed, when we left it was packed. We had pot egg back and cheese, barbacoa, some caldo and enchiladas. All was very good, fresh, chips are fresh made in house. Salsas were good in flavor and spice. It's definitely a family run place, kinda cool to see the youngsters working. Would definitely be back, if in the area. read more

First time here I order chicken enchiladas. They came out extremely dry and the prices are way to high. There are better places with better prices. Two stars for decent margarita. read more

If it wasn't for the bright pink color of the building, I wouldn't have stopped in. I am glad I did!! After reading the reviews, I tried the puffy tacos and enchiladas plate (combination #3) with a side of the Borracho Beans and their home made tortillas with two bowls of chips and both the red and green sauce. AMAZING is all I can say for everything that I ate... Oh yes... I ate it ALL!!! read more

Was very disappointed with this restaurant. When we visited it wasn't very busy and we still had to wait a while for someone to take our order. I ordered a puffy taco and enchilada verde. Was very disappointed with the puffy taco. It was super small and didn't have much filling. Would not recommend this restaurant . There are other Mexican restaurant on FM 78 that are much better. read more

+ Delicious enchiladas and puffy beef tacos + Super cheap! Lunch specials are incredible! + good service +++ The only Mexican restaurant that didn't cause me stomach problems so hooray! read more

1st time here. Had their daily special. 2 cheese enchiladas, 1 puffy taco, bean chalupa, rice and beans. The cheese enchiladas had good flavor. The puffy taco was good, bean chalupa too. Rice and beans so so. read more

Had the worst experience ever there. I got today's special had my plate brought to me and asked if I would like anything else. I said Yes a glass of water lemon wedges and napkins. My waitress walked away and ignored me, another lady came by and I told her the problem and requested the same. She walked over and spoke with my waitress and both ignored me so I lost my appetite and spoke with manager she had me pay my meal which was partially eaten and said I'll talk with them. I will no longer go there. read more

It was average until I saw a small roach crawling under our table. Never again. I was only there 20 min. You can't tell me employees don't see them. When there is one small roach there are typically hundreds of others! read more

Always saw a lot of cars in the parking lot so decided to give it a try. Greasy chips, greasy puffy tacos...and then we were charged for take out containers for leftover cheese dip and tea. No extra cheese or tea, just what was left from lunch. Are you kidding me?? We will not go back!! read more

Took my dad there yesterday, but we didn't get our food for 40 minutes. It was not busy at all (5-7 other tables with 3 waitresses). Food was decent, but not worth the wait. read more

Sorry folks, I love the food at this place. its good tasting. hot and the place is clean... I do have issues with the wait staff but i'm the kind of guy that calls them out when they are hiding, walking around or any time I need them... they realize I'm not shy when spending money. Keep ignoring me and I will call you out! read more

If I could have given NO star, I would have. My husband's chicken was too tough to chew, my taco salad was below average. Rude waitress and manager, possibly the owner. read more

Not a bad lunch spot. I went there with a group of eight people around 1130 on a Wednesday. No problems with seating at all. Our food came out quickly. You have to try the Verde sauce with your chips. It's a little spicy but packed with flavor. Food came out fast and was really good. read more

A very decent Mexican place with reasonable lunch prices and very good salsa. I like the fact that they serve breakfast all day. I see from other reviews here by people whose opinions I respect that I'm rating Sely's much lower than the prevailing view. So perhaps I need to give them another try. But my lunchtime outing was squarely in "A-OK" territory, and that ain't bad. Check 'em out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Sely's never fails! Every order is precise (which is very important due to gluten allergy). Every time we order (typically call in to go) we find something different to compliment even if it's the same dish we've had multiple times. Speedy service with fantastic flavor. They even assisted me in walking out my to go order to my car (time permitting) when I had a cast on my arm. Exceptional service! read more

The food is the best thing about this place. It is delicious and fresh. The tacos are full and my family loves them. My favorite is the beef fajita and guacamole. Kids love bacon and egg. I don't care for the extra charges that I didn't know about in advance. For instance a small child size lemonade cost exact same price as large. The guacamole on my fajita taco was additional.75 cents. They charge .45 cents if you ask for a to go cup. There was an additional charge substituting beans to cup instead of refried. The place gets pretty busy so sometimes staff is behind and it takes a while. They aren't quick enough to clean the floors and tables to keep things moving. The wait staff is cordial enough, not real friendly, they don't smile much. My encounter with the manager was cold and unfriendly and I was giving him a compliment. When I returned a to go taco that was not a taco at all it was tortillas he didn't even attempt to compensate me for having to return. He wasn't apologetic at all. He really needs to work on his customer service skills. Maybe he owns the place, idk, he wore a stiff white shirt and acted in charge. Lastly they are the first Mexican restaurant on 78 from Randolph AFB and don't offer a military discount. Not even to in uniform. There are four more Mexican restaurants on the same side of the street further down 78 to choose from. I think they should try a little harder to show customer appreciation. The Yelp reviews speak for themselves. I will go back though because the fajita meat is so juicy and tender and guacamole is like homemade. Love it! read more

Our family's hands-down favorite Mexican restaurant near our home. Every menu item is served on piping hot china plates. Tortillas are handmade and delicious. Portions are generous. Prices are low. Recipes are authentic South Tex-Mex, with plenty of spice. Service is always very good. The place is always buzzing with locals. Everything inside and out is clean and neat. I particularly love the Chilaquiles Plate, and anything served on those generous, fresh handmade corn tortillas. Love the complimentary chips which are thick and extra-crispy. The milder red salsas usually bore me. This red salsa is sooo delicious that I use it despite its mildness. The hotter green salsa is hands-down the best salsa in town, and challenges my heat tolerance every time. What more would one want when it's breakfast taco time??! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and left ready for a nap. 2 breakfast plates, 1 soda and tip all under $20? That just happened. And it was good! The chorizo and eggs were perfectly balanced and flavorful. The green hot sauce was spicy enough for this Texas girl, but not overpowering. The tortillas were out of this world, fluffy and tasty. And the beans? I normally skip the beans but these were flavorful and worth it! We will be back! read more

This place is great. Best enchiladas, generous portions, friendly service, clean, and very inexpensive.

I really should have updated the bad review I gave a while back... their green sauce is back to being top notch and I like the way they're seasoning their puffy tacos better now. It takes an already amazing Wednesday #6 special up to a whole 'nother level. Back to being my favorite Mexican restaurant in the entire San Antonio area. read more

Went for lunch yesterday. The waiter gave us drinks with no straws. Caught him as he was walking by with a polite "excuse Me, may we have a straw?" He stopped w/o acknowledging. Then came up with straws and to take order. Better still, he did come by to refill drinks. Once he spilled my friend's tea on the floor, on my foot and shoe. Not a word from him. He spilled at least 1/2 cup puddle. He left, we thought he was going to get a mop, he never came back. I stopped a waitress to show her. She never came back either. When I paid for my food I told her that mgmt needs to know. She apologized. Too bad they were so rude, the tortilla soup was good. Rice waa excellent. People will go into hole in the walls for good food but not bad manners. read more

Terrible service! Waiter was rude and arrogant, saying "whatever" under his breath when I asked for table closer to one of the big screens to watch the news. Steak Ranchero was inedible....literally. A very cheap cut of meat that was overcooked, dry, full of gristle and tough as my old combat boots. I couldn't even chew it and got tired of spitting out each bite. The waiter never came back and when paying at the register, the manager didn't give a shit. After paying, I politely informed him it was the worst steak ranchero I'd ever tried to eat. Since I already let him run my credit card, I clearly wasn't asking for a refund, but he didn't question what was wrong, he just curled his lip at me and turned to the next customer. I commented I wouldn't be returning, and he cheerfully called thank you as I was leaving, I'm afraid that what I replied isn't repeatable. read more
