    Everybody sits together at Tacos Don Chenye
    Laura P.

    Unassuming little taqueria food truck permanently parked here turns out AMAZING AUTHENTIC TACOS - and the locals seem to know it. We follow the locals - we saw nuns from a nearby shrine eating here and, so shall we! They open at 6am and do A LOT of breakfast taco business, and close at 1pm to catch the lunch crowd. Picnic tables are scattered around for seating, and cold drinks in the fridge by the order window. I had the Street Taco Plate, which comes with 5 street tacos with 2 choices of meat. I chose barbacoa and carne al pastor, two of my barometers for a good taqueria. Both meats were delicious - the barbacoa was meltingly tender and moist - very slightly flavored with cinnamon and maybe allspice? Anyway - definitely get the barbacoa. Same advice for the carne al pastor - delicious marinated pork crisped on the flattop and generously spooned into doubled corn street taco tortillas - Add onion and cilantro, a spritz of lime and a little of either the red or green house salsa and ascend to taco heaven. My husband got the crispy taco plate - 2 crispy corn-shell tacos, one with carnitas and the other with carne al pastor. Carnitas were tender and so so porky and delicious - another excellent meat choice if you come. Both plates are served with homestyle Mexican rice and refried beans. Their meat choices are: pollo (stewed chicken), carne asada (beef steak), chicharron, carne al pastor, carnitas (roast pork) and Barbacoa. Picadillo (ground beef stew) and Carne Guisada (beef chile stew). 5 comida autentica como en su casa stars!!

    Breakfast taco
    K W.

    Excellent service! We called in an order for the breakfast tacos and it was ready when we got there in less than 10 min. The service was so friendly and nice it really stood out. The tacos were filled up to the brim and very yummy. The green and red salsas were enjoyed by my husband who liked that extra spicy flavor they brought to his taco. The green was more spicy than the red.

    Chicken Burrito  was delicious!!!

    OMG... I ordered the chicken burrito and it was delicious! I really like the roasted chilies on the side! I chose to eat 1/2 now and 1/2 later! Best I have had in a long time!

    My boy inhaled that breakfast taco.

    I was down from Alaska visiting family for the Mother's Day weekend and drove past this gem. Saturday morning we went down and ordered six breakfast tacos, and two combo burritos. He advised us that it would be a 30 min wait; this was completely fine since the stand was busy. The stand has a paging system so you can sit at tables or in your car and wait. 30 min on the dot we got our food and headed off. They supplied an amazing salsa verde to go with our order, and the food was still smoking hot when we got back to the house. By far the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! And from what I hear the tacos were simple yet amazing as well. Especially for the price we paid Back down here again on 05/29/21 and had to stop. Once again the food was amazing!

    Bean and cheese torta
    Albert A.

    Delish!! Bean and cheese torta was delicious! Comparable to any Mexican restaurant. Beans were perfectly smooth and cheese was soft and tasty. Torta was not doughy but crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Barbacoa taco was all meat and came with cilantro and onion! Best of the last 4 barbacoa tacos I've had in San Antonio. Potato and egg tacos, while good, were comparable to any Mexican food establishment. I think now we are making a point to return every time we're in the neighborhood!

    The place is extremely simple, it's like one of those places that in Puerto Rico call us chinchorro, it is a place where you make a classic stop because when you know the place and this is on your route you have to make a stop, you have to do it, stop and buy something well They have a flavor in the food that, as I mentioned, makes it inevitable not to stop. I recommend them and especially the green sauce that wahoo is tremendous. Just visit it and tell me your experience...!!!

    He's super nice but the food was trash... and I really hate to say that since he was so nice…read more I literally watched him squirt some water on the griddle, then but the brisket and "warm it up"... it was super tuff to the point I couldn't even eat it. It also tasted and looked as if he boiled it. Either way it was cook, it wasn't cooked long enough. Definitely not smoked.. I seen him a few years ago around the corner at a better looking set up but I was picking up for door dash then. There was a few people that were waiting on food then and now when you drive by there's never anyone there. Even though it should have been rush hour for dinner.. so I understand why the brisket wasn't cooked fresh or right. He not open late anymore either. Oh I can't forget the potatoes salad and the beans... the Ben's had tomato's in them? They weren't made by him. Bushes beans are better.. the potato salad was the only semi edible thing we got.. we literally threw everything away and didn't even feed it to the dog. Wish I took pictures before throwing it away but it got thrown away just as fast as I got the food... I hope whatever he's going through, he gets out of it. Because people that spend their hard working money should at the very least editable food.

    Brisket was FANTASTIC…read more Green beans nice and spicy. My potato salad was still partially frozen/icy when I got it home so didn't really eat it...was probably good though Not what J would consider a generous portion for almost $20 (like $17 and change) So bc brisket was SO good but I felt price point was a little high and my frozen potatoes and thus I can't go any higher than a 4 ALSO-if you are a sauce fan this place is not for you. They don't "do sauce". Not that it needs it, but just in case you were expecting it...

    Oh, yeah! That's the stuff. Mi Familia Taco Shop #3 is slinging the highest quality food truck…read moreMexican food in Canyon Lake. If you are in the Sattler area near FM 2673 and 306, close to the Horseshoe, or if you aren't, make your way over here to eat these tacos, tortas, and burritos. The truck is parked next to the Sunoco gas station across the street from River Rose Tavern, and they have a couple of shaded picnic tables for dining on site, plus some big limestone blocks that are fine for sitting while you wait. I've tried everything in this area over the past 4 years, and Mi Familia was a revelation last night on the way to a show at Whitewater Amphitheater. Instead of being at the mercy of a mediocre stadium concessions meal at the concert venue, we enjoyed a DELICIOUS, relaxed meal with no crowds while we watched the hordes of music fans stream down the sidewalk to enter the Robert Earl Keen and Willie Nelson show. I had the loaded torta with barbacoa. Good lord! Perfectly juicy, savory, tender meat on a grilled torta bun with fresh avocado, lettuce, tomato, crema, mayo, not sure what else but it was huge and tasty. I say "loaded" because it was, but that's just how Mi Familia dresses their sandwiches. I suppose I could have asked for more specific toppings like cilantro and onions. Next time. My date went with a beef fajita mega burrito, again stuffed with all the fresh fixings I had, plus Oaxacan cheese, refried beans, and Spanish rice, served in a fresh, stretchy, homemade tortilla. He loved everything about the burrito and the 2 spicy salsas that came on the side. Was this a *cheap* meal for a taco truck? No, it was $25 before tip, so about $12.50 each, but guys, inflation is on fire in 2024 and we cannot get low cost food any more. I am totally happy with the $ spent, as this food quality was stellar and the service by the sweet tias running the truck was perfect. I cannot wait to come back and work my way through the rest of that menu for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night. I have my eye on the gorditas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and carne guisada. Hours: Mon-Sat, 6:30a - 8p Sun, 6:30a - 3p Plus special late night hours after Whitewater Amp events
