Pretty nice to have a place serving up 2 of Texas's favorites!…read more I went with the Gladiator and made it a triple. They are smash-style burgers with some interesting toppings to make each one truly unique. I found the meat to be seasoned perfectly and cooked just right! Wife got the fish and chips and rated the fish higher than some places more well known for their fish. The vinegar fries weee good too! Nana got 2 different tacos and the beef one was top notch! Different than the usual San Antonio flavors but very very good. Gal at the counter was awesome and very friendly!

We decided to try out Burgers vs Tacos on a casual Saturday evening. We arrived around 5:30 PM. It…read morewas not busy at all. Plenty of seating as well as parking. We ordered the capoeira burger as a small combo. Also ordered one each of the following tacos: luchador fish, karate shrimp, and capoeira steak. The burger my friend ordered: she said it was good, but could have used a little more seasoning. (Ordered without the white cheddar). The fries were very good, hit and crispy. Not warm and soggy. The three tacos in order of my personal favorites: karate shrimp, capoeira steak, and luchador fish. The karate shrimp aside from the fact it had wasabi and I don't normally like wasabi, it pairs very well with the shrimp in this case. It was flavorful, the shrimp were a good size, meaty, and delicious. The capoeira steak was good. Flavorful, not chewy, and also paired with the Parmesan-onion crisp, made it. The fish taco was good, but it was a bit fishy for my taste. The service was friendly and nice. The place is very clean. I would like to go back to try the burger myself and some of the other items on the menu.

The interior had colorful decor, including piñatas, and appeared nice and clean. Will definitely be back to try the cheese enchiladas.

Should be a great sign right? Nope. On the inside the place is quite nice. Clean and vibrant. Our waitress was awesome. I will say the food looks a lot better than it tastes. We had the stuffed jalapeños, fajita plate for one, the carne guisada plate, and sabor quesadillas with chicken. We had coffee and sweet tea. Let's analyze the first two. The jalapeños and quesadilla. If you have any restaurant experience, different items have a different cooking temp. Yes, oil has temperatures, and timing. The stuffed jalapeños were crispy almost too crispy on outside, but the bacon wrapped under the outside layer was raw. Not soft cooked, but raw. We didn't finish them. The quesadillas were just ok. Nothing super great about them. It's the chicken that threw us off....which is a Segway into the next dish. The fajitas for one. Sometimes, not all the time, a restaurant will precook or boil meats the day before or morning of to speed up turnaround times in the kitchen. The best places don't do it, but a lot do. Given my experience in kitchens, I know the taste. It also 99% of the time dries the chicken out. I immediately knew it was, but the kicker was, then actually, I feel in accident served me some of the frozen boiled pieces of chicken. Wow! I was right. The beef fajitas were actually pretty good. The shrimp lacked seasoning. The charro beans lacked salt, and I'm super sensitive to salt. The most dissatisfying thing about the meal, the corn tortillas looked spectacular, then tasted as bland as you could possibly try. The carne guisada again looked great, and the rice too. They both failed miserably. Everything seemed to lack seasoning. Apparently this place is popular for a breakfast buffet. Explains the crowds. We were never told nor offered the buffet. In hindsight probably was a great thing, given the food quality. At least it was affordable, and the beef fajita was actually quite good, maybe why it's a two. With so many great options so close together, this one I would not recommend.

My order wasn't ready because they had a large catering order to fulfill. It was still a reasonable wait time. I was surprised at how reasonably priced it is. They have so much more than just the chicken. They have other protein options, plates, and burgers. They also have Aguas frescas (horchata and Jamaica) I got a Jamaica (hibiscus). When we got home everything was still warm and absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be returning and I highly recommend!

MAJOR kudos to Mamacita's!…read more My brothers and I planned an 80th birthday celebration for our dad while living in California, with the party taking place in San Antonio. Planning an event from out of state can be stressful, but Memo, the manager, made the entire process so much easier. From my very first call, Memo patiently answered all of my questions regarding pricing, room options, and the menu. Reserving the room was simple, and as our guest list continued to grow, we ended up doubling our original reservation. When I called Memo, he graciously accommodated our larger party and moved us into the bigger room without hesitation. We arrived in San Antonio two days before the party and had the opportunity to meet with Memo in person. He walked us through the room, answered my last-minute questions, and helped us feel confident that everything was ready. On the day of the celebration, everything went smoothly. Dave and Pancho provided exceptional service to our family. They were attentive, kind, and made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the evening. The food was delicious--especially the beef fajitas! The buffet remained well stocked, and everything was replenished regularly, ensuring our guests never had to wait. The celebration was a tremendous success, and most importantly, my dad felt incredibly loved and celebrated on his 80th birthday. While the room was a little cozy with 65 guests and a mariachi band, the joyful atmosphere made it a memorable evening for everyone. One suggestion that could make hosting special events even easier would be offering a projector, screen, and sound equipment as rental options. Since we were planning from out of state, we had to scramble a bit to secure those items. Thankfully, everything worked out in the end, but having those resources available through the venue would be a wonderful convenience for future customers. Thank you, Memo, Dave, Pancho, and the entire Mamacita's team for helping make such a special milestone one our family will always remember. We truly appreciate your hospitality and outstanding service!

I went to eat here on Friday after having this joint bookmarked for ages! It's taken me a few days…read moreto really decide where I'd go with this review. I was torn between three and four stars. I decided on the fourth star because I didn't feel it right deducting a second star just because I may have made the wrong decision on a sauce. I got here right about the time they opened. Seated right away and read a book while awaiting a friend to join. Ultimately, my friend stood me up. I was waited on at perfect intervals during my waiting period. This place is nicer inside than you'd expect just seeing it from the outside. I was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. I ordered the Banban and opted for the Smokey Mayo. I also ordered the white garlic fries, which I found bland, which was surprising given the amount of sauce. Fries came out first. I would have preferred the fries come out with the wings, but the wings took FOREVER. I literally finished my fries before the wings arrived. I think the waitstaff knew it took too long given the apology received when the food arrived. Wouldn't do the Smokey mayo again I just didn't like it. Borderline too spicy (listen to the on the menu) for me. The original was okay. As a matter of fact, I think I enjoyed the wings more as leftovers than I did in the restaurant. Overall: it's okay; I'm glad I tried it. I might go back if a friend wanted to try it. I found the $45 tab kinda high for just me. And to the young employee who decided to do her eye makeup while standing behind in the middle is the restaurant but behind the register, I couldn't care less, but some people might find it unprofessional. This isn't Sephora.

FIRST TIME VISIT!!!…read more First time here and boy, am I excited! I lazed about almost the entire Sunday and didn't have anything to eat or drink all day. That is literally how useless I was today. I was doom-scrolling on Yelp and saw this place come up. Not too far from me, but I've never been. By the looks of the reviews, people really like this dive. Hey, I'm sold! I make the short drive here by myself ready to try something new. THE LOCATION: conveniently located dead center of a section of a strip mall right off Potranco. Lots of parking, but as I'm quite familiar with this lil shopping center, parking can fill up fast some days and times. THE DIGS: this place is super cute! Clean, tastefully decorated, pop music playing overhead. A chill way to spend a Sunday afternoon. THE MENU: Prices are quite reasonable and lots of classic options of comida Mexicana and Tex-Mex. Something for everyone. What to pick?! DECISIONS, DECISIONS: This Mom n' Pop eatery starts guests off with a complimentary cup of fideo and chips and salsa. You may have to request the chips yourself. They also offer ranchera sauce (served warm) and a trio of freshly made salsas to complement the chips. As for my meal, I decide on the popular Tampiqueña Plate (Grilled steak, cheese enchiladas, rice, refried beans, guac with salad). I am also elated that they have house made aquas frescas- horchata, limonada and Jamaica, as well as handmade flour AND corn tortillas. . HELLO!!! THE SERVICE: It's a quiet hour and I'm glad. I get to enjoy my early dinner at a leisurely pace, ask all my questions about the menu without feeling like I'm holding the staff up. My server is so professional and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make me feel content and fully satisfied with my meal. THE FLAVORS: First off, can I just RAVE about the horchata? It wasn't until I took my first sip that I knew I was in for a hoe made great that is (sadly) so rare in this city. Jackpot! I don't even care what the rest of my meal tastes like at this point. I am a happy girl, y'all. But the flavors keep coming... fresh quac on a side sald, classic Mexican rice, yummy refried beans and a classic Mexican style steak in its simplicity. The ranchera sauce (with chips) is flavorful but not at all spicy, in fact, the very slow and mild tickle at the back of the throat is so minor that Kiddos 3+ years would enjoy it, too, imo. And yes, I also refer to your Anglo-Saxon babies. Lol. Really, very nice flavor and such a thoughtful consideration by the staff to offer it. The trio of salsas are also very delish, but the creamy orange one got me as expected. A color like that should draw attention to itself no matter the restaurant you're in. The heat surprised me even still and I was grateful for the fresh aquacate on my plate and horchata to rescue me. So much flavor in these salsas! OVERALL: my first full impression of this place is quite good. There has been quite a bit of turnover in this restaurant's space. The server tells me that the new ownership took over less than a year ago and not only do I intend to return, but I really hope you stop in and show some love to this hard-working crew who clearly have a passion for feeding hungry girls like me.

The next movie was Inside Out and the servers were very interested in the movie the whole time we were there. They said they did not have any barbacoa. Huge fail for a Sunday morning in San Antonio if I must say. So instead, I ordered café de olla, pozole, a carne guisada with cheese taco, and a chorizo/bean/bacon taco. Husband ordered chilaquiles rancheros and a regular coffee. He said his coffee was luke warm but his plate was good. Aside from the servers and the overall vibe of the place, the food itself was good in our opinion. I would come back when they have barbacoa to taste it and the pozole was good after a tiny bit of salt just to bring out the juice flavors. I don't normally add salt to my food in general. But this time, it worked. I am not a menudo person so the fact that they had good pozole close by my house was a major plus! The Cafe de olla was really good but just a tad on the sweet side for me. But again, I would still come back to taste their other items.
