    We drove down to San Antonio for lunch here. Glad we did it. The food and service were excellent. Beans and rice are different from some others in a good way and we loved them. Very tasty. They reopened the place this May after the fire and it is clean and nice inside. Many tables to choose from and many food to choose from as well. Will definitely return when we're around the area again!!!

    Mini tacos
    Hanna D.

    We found this place my accident, though we were going to a different Taqueria Datapoint. But we were already there and figured we'd try it. The mini tacos were delicious! Staff was really friendly as well. The place is a bit smaller than the other locations but still clean and homey.

    The Datapoint franchise is pretty damn good. Any site I have visited, I have not been disappointed with their food. My go to dishes are the asada nachos and the asada enchiladas! I recommend those 2 dishes to everyone I bring. The mini tacos are pretty good as well. Today, this site gets 3 stars because of the service. I put in my order and it took 40 minutes. After about 20 minutes and 2 new customers coming in, I realized they were taking long. My waitress never came back. I had to flag down another waitress to ask what was going on. They said they would check. The 2 customers that came in after me received their meals and I still hadn't gotten an update. Finally another waitress comes and started making an excuse about my ticket. I was about to pay for my drink and leave when I was told it was coming out... I wasn't too happy with the service but the nachos were soooo good...

    Barbacoa Plate
    Evelyn C.

    This taqueria never disappoints! We had several items from the menu. Taco de barbacoa, pozole, barbacoa plate, asada burrito, tacos a la yaka and everything was very well served and delicious! I have been to three datapoints in San Antonio and this is by far the best. Datapoint at De Zavala is overpriced and the portions are small served. Do not recommend location at De Zavala. So, if in San Antonio make the drive to this one exactly, so worth it! Mi lugar favorito para comida mexicana en San Antonio!

    quesabirria - excelente

    Flavors straight out of Mexico. Great service that is friendly. It's an environment you go to just eat in or pick-up at their drive through. You wont be disappointed. My SA go to Mexican restaurant.

    Taqueria Datapoint is a long time favorite of mine and love that the Fred rd location is still open. The prices are still fair and their 3 taco special at 2.99 is a great deal when prices everywhere are rising. The food is always delicious and their flour tortillas have that homemade flavor I love. Their corn tortillas are handmade and are perfect for the gringas tacos (cheese meat avocado )

    Chips and salsa while you wait for your meal
    Sara U.

    Very friendly wait staff, graciously takes your order in Spanish! best chips and salsa! So fresh. They have menudo/pozole all weekend, all day

    Kaitlin O.

    The mini tacos are so good! They may not look like much at first, but the meat is so flavorful and when paired with cilantro, onions, avocado, and salsa, it's absolutely delicious. I got 5 barbacoa tacos and that was more than enough for me. I also ordered the horchata which was nice and refreshing. Only complaint is that I was charged more than the price stated on the menu so their menus might be a bit outdated. Side note: they offer unlimited chips and salsa which is a good reason to dine in

    Mini-tacos al pastor
    Barnabas H.

    Spontaneous hankering for barbacoa. Datapoint didn't disappoint. Great menu selections. Co-dining compadres had excellent plates of country con huevos / "tacos luz" as well as mini-tacos al pastor. Wow, was everything great! Tomatillo salsa is tangy and a little limey (perfect) and the mini taco plate was served with a huge grilled/charred jalapeño that was muy appreciado por nosotros. Will return many times no doubt. Service was super friendly. A small mark off for ambience etc. otherwise 5

    The caldo was loaded with beef  I added a little chili to give it more flavor with the broth  Itcomes with rice  The server was great
    Frank G.

    Arrived at 5 was seated promptly with chips and water ordered the caldo de res it was delicious I will return to try tacos

    Barbacoa plate (5 mini tacos)
    Angela Y.

    This place is absolutely incredible. I took a day trip from Austin to San Antonio last weekend just to pick up three orders of the barbacoa and tripas taco plates. The meat is the best and prices are unbeatable. Each plate comes with grilled onions, raw onions, cilantro, a wedge of avocado, and a wedge of lime. Each taco comes with two warm, homemade corn tortillas and a generous scoop of meat. It's satisfying for even the hungriest person and it'll leave you wanting more! Most of the diners here are locals, so you know it's good. Overall, this is a hole in the wall that I am willing to drive 4 hours to eat. Skip the fancy, overpriced restaurants at Pearl District and come here when you next visit San Antonio. Pro Tip: Because of COVID, we got our orders to go and drove 5 minutes to the nearby Woodlawn Lake Park, which has public bathrooms and ample picnic seating. It's very pretty and spacious.

    Queso.

I decided to stay in the city longer to check out this place. This restaurant is huge and the wait was 45 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. We used our waiting time to stroll through the Mercado across the way. Once the table was ready, my friend got a text. I always wanted to try menudo every Mexican restaurant I go to. But not until I saw the sign on the back cover. This restaurant is under the same owner as Pico de Gallo. Omg. I just had their menudo the day before. No thanks. I decided to order fajita chicken salad. The portion was really small. The food only filled a half of the fried salad bowl. I asked to put cheese on the side. It may had it look more but I don't eat cheese as much. I was glad that dressing was on the side. Which was too salty for me. So, if the food was the same as other chain, we could have eaten there which was closer to the hotel. But I noticed the difference was the servers. Our waitress was cuter and very polite. My friends kept teasing her. She kept good manner and responded back with a smile "uhhh no". Hahaha.

The hostess was a little drab but as I was walked in to be seated, you could feel the upbeat mood. Note that if you're dining solo, they will push hard to seat you at a dark diner type counter to stare at the kitchen area even if you have a reservation, so don't give in unless you're starving and that's your last resort. The colorful decor hits you and you're transported. I ordered the "Mexican Dinner" with chicken enchilada, pork tamal, beef taco with beans and rice. Also had a side order of fresh handmade tortillas. Paloma to wash it all down. Everything tasted great. My server was excellent. Patient and helpful with recommendations. The mariachi band was fun and they roamed the restaurant and bar to play, so chances are that if they aren't singing at your table then they're nearby.

The biggest issue which is concerning is all of the birds flying from table to table and through the outside area during breakfast/brunch time of day. The staff does everything they can but it's impossible to keep birds away being outside. Leads to some concerns about the sanitation & cleanliness while birds are hanging out on half the empty tables and chairs. We could have moved inside and probably would if we visit again. The food was delicious and it is still a great place to try as long as your good with birds. My sister who joined us was a little leery of their presence the entire time.

We're already looking forward to our next visit to explore more of amazing menu. Just a little heads-up for anyone else, we realized on our way out that there's an extra parking lot right across the street if the main one fills up. Super handy to know!

It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
