Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with some friends visiting from New York., Food: Had chips with Guacamole as an appetizer. Very good guacamole! The Costeno Campechano in Maja form (encrusted with cheese) proved to be a flavor explosion that was unique and wonderful. Flavors started with the subtle cheese crust and then the spicy costeno campechano exploded with great spice and an almost chipotle roast! Service: Good service Ambiance: industrial modern Overall cleanliness: above average Bathroom cleanliness: average read more

Wow! If I could give Tacos Don Manolito 10 stars I definitely would. Tacos Don Manolito (TDM) are authentic Mexican tacos from the center of the country (Mexico City/Puebla region). Here in Texas we usually only get Mexican food from the north part of Mexico, which sometimes ends up just being Tex-Mex food. However if you are wondering why these tacos are different from the north of Mexico? It is all in the ingredients. TDM serves meat like longaniza and cecina that are NOT served in the northern part of the country. These items are super rare to find and even if you find them, the quality is usually pretty bad. However TDM meat quality is outstanding which makes their tacos so flavorful and delicious. For my first time visiting I decided to keep it classic and only order tacos. I got one taco de cecina, another of cecina with longaniza and one arrachera. The cecina was exactly like the one I used to have back home with my family in Mexico City. Cecina is a salty meat so I recommend using their darker salsa (I think is from chile pasilla, but might be wrong) to help offset some of the saltiness and bring out new flavours. The longaniza was also delicious and not greasy at all. However my favorite taco was the arrachera. It was so full of flavour and I could have eaten like 10 of those and live happy for the rest of my life. Last but not least, TDM is not cheap. They are using high quality ingredients which obviously means more money. So if you are looking for some cheap tacos these are must definitely not it. However I think they are worth every penny! read more

This taco shop is in a strip mall. It is not a big place, but enough seating. I like the cow on the bench on the outside. Great photo opportunity. This is a well known chain taco shop throughout Mexico City and I was thrilled they opened a location in San Antonio. This is not Tex-Mex and if that it what you are wanting and hoping for, you might not like these tacos. This is traditional Mexican street tacos. The price can be high compared to other taco shops in San Antonio, but these tacos are unique and well worth a try, but you need to keep an open mind. Again not Tex-Mex. The tacos here are huge and very generous portion size and I love these tacos! Food: Ordered three tacos: Costeno, Costeno Campechano, and Arrachera. The Costeno Campechano is amazing! The three meats are cooked in the sauce and it really makes this taco spicy and a flavor explosion in your mouth. The taco was so big that I had to use a fork to eat the meat that fell out of the tortilla. The pork rinds were not super crunchy, but the textures were all there and the flavor was incredible. The Costeno was delicious too, but I prefer the Campechano with the meat cooked in the sauce. The Arrachera taco was incredible too. The meat was tender and with a squeeze of lime and some of the three sauces and I was so happy! Employees: friendly and attentive Bathroom cleanliness: Above Average read more

I came in here at the beginning of November & completely forgot to post my review. The tacos are AMAZING! I ended up ordering more after my first 2 tacos lol We started with the chips and guacamole, so delicious and flavorful! We ordered the chicken, quesadillas, Campechano and Cecina; we could've ordered the whole menu but stopped ourselves. Service was good, waiter kept checking in on us throughout our meal. I will be back again to eat more tacos & drink more margaritas read more

Sitting at the Shops at Hardy Oak, Stone Oak, is a relatively new Mexican style restaurant. Parking is ample, even with the many shops sharing it. As you walk in, you will notice the beautiful Toro art on the wall, which highlights the dining motif with a very friendly staff. I had an Estaconada, which was delicious. You get to choose your protein, and I chose steak. A flour tortilla with a cheesy crust, along with onions, guacamole, cilantro, and chicharron, sitting on top of the very juicy steak. This place is an unexpected pleasant surprise and I will be coming back. I encourage you to try it and let me know what you think in the comments. read more

Decided to give TDM a try and was not disappointed. We had the queso fundido, chips and salsa, and a taco. It was more than enough food for us. Oh, and we had a frozen margarita which was tasty and strong. The tacos are served fresh and are heavily loaded with proteins and veggies. Everything was delicious. I do think the vive, in the evening, feels like a sandwich shop ambience while offering table ordering and a full bar. Seems mismatched. Services was excellent and attentive. read more

I hate to say how good this place is in fear of losing a great meal. The tacos are great & definitely get the maja cheese crust Will be back read more

The location and pictures did not indicate this, but they are located in a No contact food court situation, not a full restaurant like described. My whole group was annoyed as we were looking forward to going to this place. We were hoping for a space with great eats and an enjoyable time over drinks. We didn't want to be stuck with limited seating and be rushed with other people waiting to eat. We went elsewhere. read more

Excellent Mexican tacos! Best salsas in town, great service and family ambiance . Love the "Torito" taco with green salsa. Totally recommend it! read more

Tacos Don Manolito - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My family loves this place. So authentically original and tasty. They have many options for any type of taco you can think of. You pick the style and the protein and then you add the sauces/salsas you prefer. I was unsure of the type of protein and the server gave me a taste of their specialty marinated beef and it was a hit! So yummy! The style I chose was a corn tortilla with a grilled cheese "shell" on the outside. I've never tasted anything like this tacos, but it was filling and satisfying. They have homemade aguas frescas and the horchata was the best I've had. The service is amazing... you can tell they truly want their patrons to enjoy their food. I'm not a drinker, but I hear they have a great happy hour. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's very nice to have a family owned taco place in Stone Oak that's different from the others. read more

I've been waiting for a long time for this place to open and had great expectations, and I am glad to say that they delivered!! Bravo!! For us "chilangos" (natives of Mexico City) it is hard to find authentic tacos in SA, and Don Manolito serves 100% authentic tacos, cecina de verdad! Also, great service, super clean, nice atmosphere and excellent value. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! Gracias por traernos un pedacito de México a Stone Oak! Son la neta! read more

Best birthday ever music tacos and beer!!! Tacos are amazing all of them Great people and service I highly recommend Tacos Don Manolito read more

Not Tex-Mex! But all very tasty! We visited for the first time and tried a variety of menu items. The tacos were double stuffed. The maja style is a must try! Beer was cold. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I highly recommend you give them a try for a late evening dinner. Enjoy! read more

Love this place! Great, clean food. Casual dining. Good beer. But the best thing, especially in a post-pandemic world, is the service from the bright young people who work there. read more

The tacos are pretty big. The one on the left that had chicharrón en salsa verde is only one taco, but they give you 2 tortillas. I wasn't able to finish my food, so I can say that one will be kind of the size of 2 (or even 3) mini taquitos. The service is 5/5! I'm not sure about the inside of the place because we had dinner outside with our dog . I would totally recommend this place and encourage people to try the Maja (not pictured but it tasted really good!). The salsas are great! They're not super spicy and have good flavor. read more

Tacos Don Manolito - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I had given this place a glaring review. 5 stars down the line. But since then I have been back 4 times and every single time the food tastes like they dumped a bunch of salt on it to the point where I have thrown part of the order away. And I've had multiple people say the same, so it's not just me. I really wanted this place to continue being great but I guess the only time it was, was when they first opened. Bummer read more

My husband and I had lunch here for the first time this week. We were very excited to say the least,we had been eager to try since we saw signs of their opening. We ordered a little bit of everything,started with a drink from the bar,some apps, and some delicious tacos! The service was great,they were kind enough to bring a sample of their meat to help us decide. I think we went at a great time it wasn't too packed which made for a very nice and cozy authentic Mexican lunch date read more

Found this place through Yelp and since the reviews were so good my mom, sister, and I decided to try. We started off with the queso fundido and it was SO GOOD. It comes with corn tortillas. I wish I remembered her name but the girl who served us was so sweet and explained the menu to us upon arrival. The tacos were phenomenal, with the meat being very tender and the variety of salsas served with them (I believe 4 different types) were great. We came during happy hour so we each got margaritas that were delicious as well. Waitress told us this was the only location in Texas, but it's a chain in Mexico, Spain, and I believe Honduras. Will definitely be back! read more

Maybe I don't know authentic Mexican food, but it was not good at all. I've eaten lots of tacos in my time, and what they sold looked nothing like them. I could have gotten over that, if the taste had been better. I'll admit it might just be that I like Americanized Mexican food, but this was flavorless and expensive for what I got. No sides included with the food didn't even see any salt and pepper on the table. Don't understand why they refuse to sell iced tea in a Texas restaurant. Service was good and the place was clean but it's just not my kind of place or food. I love Los Gueros type Mexican food, but this was not anything like that. Don't not go here if you know authentic Mexican food and that's what you're wanting, because you might just love it. But I sadly did not. read more

Los tacos de cecina y de arachera están deliciosos. Mi favorito es el taco Torito, cecina, nopales y queso.

I feel bad for not taking a picture of my food but it was too good that I couldn't wait. Packed with flavor, easy to follow menu and great options. The staff was knowledgeable and even provided some samples for the meats we didn't recognize. The ambiance was hip and nice. I recommend the cecina costeña (salted beef w/ jalapeños chorizos and chicharrones) maja style. You won't regret it. I will be back! Gracias!!! read more

Excellent tacos. Interesting menu options. Fast and friendly service. Will be returning.

This is place is the nearest to Mexican food I've found, real Mexican flavors and real Mexican salsas. My favorite taco is the Rib Eye Estocada or the Pastor Gringa, it heals my heart and makes me miss Mexico less bite by bite. Also they now have breakfast and the Chilaquiles torta is just amazing! I've never tried before the taco de chilaquiles and it is also amazing. I just love this place, the service and delicious food. read more

Tacos Don Manolito - T. CECINA - Tacos Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Ok so kinda mixed reviews. First of all, staff is awesome and friendly. They open the door and greet everyone, was helpful with bringing the stroller. The menu is very limited and very pricey. You chose your meat and then if you'd like it in a taco, cheese shell taco or quesadilla. My boyfriend and I both got a quesadilla thinking it'd be a good amount of food as the photo on the menu showed. Come to our surprise, it's just a half. We also ordered the Queso, it was alright, pretty mid and they only gave 4 tortillas. Kinda sad that the chicharrones are just like store bought and crushed up, would've made up for a lot if they were homemade. We came when it was busy but then it died down. As I looking around, the workers just stand there and there's plenty baskets of chips up top ready to go for customers who order guac. I'd hope they cycle through them after a good amount of time. Also there's a corner by the front door of all of the employees belongs.... Overall, way over priced for mid quality. read more
