    Breakfast tacos
    Alexis H.

    Great place to grab some breakfast tacos! The place is super clean and plenty of seating. They're very quick in getting your food out to you. Food was fresh and perfect for the price.

    Self serve salsa bar. Upper right corner authentic guac.

    Service was great, the restaurant was clean and the workers were very welcoming. The food was 20/10! We tried their tacos: Al pastor, bistec/sirloin and carnitas. The Al pastor was on a very traditional trompo and perfectly seasoned. Carnitas was tender and juicy. The bistec was seasoned well as well. We had a 3 street tacos plate and 5 street tacos plate. Each plate came with a cooked small potato portion and grilled onions. They also have a self serve small salsa bar. This salsa bar has guacamole- that you can help yourself to! (Which btw is unheard of! No place gives you free rein to some authentic guac!) We also tried their watermelon agua fresca it was 8/10 - too pricey imo for the taste and the horchata as well. We were in town from Austin for 2 days and ate here both days! I couldn't go back to Austin without my al pastor taco fix!

    We stopped at Taqueria Machetes on Sunday before driving back to Houston from Fredericksburg. First things first--the guacamole was amazing. We kept going back to the salsa bar for more because it was that good. This is not a full-service restaurant. You walk in, order at the counter, get a buzzer, grab your food, eat, and head out--very casual and straightforward. Definitely more of a quick stop than a sit-down dining experience. I ordered the chorizo breakfast taco, and it was tasty and huge. Honestly, I should've just ordered one taco because it was very filling. The barbacoa taco, however, was not for me. The meat was very fatty and still had connective tissue, which wasn't visually appealing, so I didn't eat it and ended up giving it away. Overall, the guacamole and chorizo taco were the highlights for me. If you're stopping through and want something quick before hitting the road, it's worth checking out--just be mindful of what you order.

    10/10, so glad we found this place while walking in downtown Fredericksburg! Everything we got was amazing! Loved my burrito with that avocado crema sauce. The corn was so good. My hubby loved his tacos, the lengua was his fave. The owner and staff were all super nice and it definitely feels like a family owned business. Will definitely return on our next visit to Fredericksburg.

    This place is legit. The salsa bar is immaculate and very generous with several options including aguamole (& guacamole!) along with some spicy traditional salsas and a pico de gallo. They have a well stocked bar with several choices of Mexican spirits and cervezas. I really enjoyed my birria torta and my colleague got some sort of nacho looking plate: but it looked huge and he said the pastor was delicious. The service was friendly and we will definitely return when back in Fredericksburg. It's awesome that they have a proper taqueria that's so accessible right on the main drag in walking distance to everything. It's definitely in the style of some Mexico City taquerias I've visited: with the tiles, clean kitchen, and streamlined atmosphere.

    Michelada was good

    Man this place did not disappoint came from Dallas to visit and sightsee and found this gem and boy it was amazing. The food was fresh and hot. But the salsas were freaking amazing. The staff was great very friendly and polite. The ambiance was great great Spanish music playing loud enough to enjoy and low enough to talk. Great place a good place to come and eat.

    The breakfast tacos weren't my favorite (too much egg), but the street taco options for lunch and dinner made up for it.

    I genuinely wanted to like Nurys on Main. I really did. Hope springs eternal, especially in…read moreFredericksburg, where good food is usually a sure bet. Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

    I didn't care for it. We were a large party and sat immediately, which was nice, and the restaurant…read morewas calm and nearly empty for a Sunday but honestly, there's a reason it was so dead. Right away, the service felt off. Our waitress didn't even ask if we wanted drinks before jumping straight to, "Are you ready to order food?" Then she disappeared for long periods, even though we were basically her only table besides one other couple. The food was extremely underwhelming -- basic, barely warm, and nothing memorable. On top of that, there were so many flies inside that we were nonstop swatting them away. And to make matters worse, there was a bug in my drink when it was served to me. That was pretty much the final straw. Overall, a very forgettable and disappointing experience. We probably won't come again, and I would not recommend it.

It has that rare combination of being polished and memorable while still feeling relaxed and distinctly Texas. The food was phenomenal. The cheeseburger was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, especially with the bacon jam. The cilantro pesto pasta was outstanding, with fresh vegetables and perfectly cooked shrimp. We also loved the chicken schnitzel, the burrata, and the black bean hummus--everything tasted fresh, generous, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu does an excellent job showcasing Texas comfort food with creative, seasonal touches. And dessert was unforgettable. The croissant bread pudding and blackberry crumble were absolutely incredible--rich, comforting, and generous enough to share, although I wouldn't blame anyone for keeping them all to themselves. The drinks and Texas wine selection were equally impressive, and the peach margarita is a must-try. What truly elevated the experience was the service. Our server was attentive, personable, and offered excellent recommendations without ever being intrusive. The entire team made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere--including the patio, music, and beautiful dining spaces--made it feel like far more than just a meal.

It's incredible with southern peach fried pie with flaky crust, pecan Ice cream and rum caramel sauce. The watermelon green tomato salad with goat cheese was dull. Not sure how they accomplished that given the ingredients, but I'd pass on that. The French onion soup was ok. Nothing memorable, not bad. The tri tip was again just ok. Too well-done and flavorless. A little dry. It was tender though. The carrots served with it needed salt. I'd return. Would like to try other dishes and see what's good.

There is a covered attached patio that helps during their busy times (weekends). Even though they have gotten more popular, their service and food quality have not suffered one iota.

Our Chilaquiles and Huevos Divorciados were cooked and served perfectly. The chilaquiles sauce, always red, was outstanding. Dis and Dat: They are open until 2 PM for lunch, and they have expanded their weekend hours. Verify via their website. Parking is offstreet and the lot is fairly large. Service is exceptional.

We ordered coffee ($3 per cup) and water. We were brought the coffee and waters and we ordered. I had the Huevos Rancheros ($17) and my wife had the Fruit Granola Yogurt ($13). Our food was brought out after a bit and it looked good. However, there were problems with both dishes. My wife's dish, advertised a Greek Yogurt was more like they scooped some Yoplait into the bowl instead. There was some fruit chunks, but not near enough to justify the $13 cost. She said the carved strawberry was the best part of the dish and the granola was good, but certainly did not taste homemade. My dish was barely warm, the beans were way too soupy, and I had asked for over-medium eggs, but they came over easy. I sent it back and told the server the dish was lukewarm and the eggs were not prepared as requested. She quickly came back with another plate that pretty much had the exact same issues. Lukewarm beans and potatoes and over-easy eggs. Rather than send it back again, I ate less than half and called it quits. Our bill came to ~$40 and it was probably worth less than half that. Another tidbit is that we had to ask twice for coffee refills. The place was not really busy either. Not sure why it gets 4+ stars because I struggle with giving it 2. Overall, not worth the price and the quality of the food was lacking. Service was decent, but aside from that it doesn't rate another visit.

I cannot tell you how giddy I was when I noticed a Los Tios was here. I told the wife it was non-negotiable, and we would be eating here for lunch. For those who do not know, Los Tios is a restaurant that has a long standing existence in Houston dating back to the early 1970s. Even though I reside in the San Antonio area, I grew up in the Houston area, and have a very fond memories of Los Tios. As a tot, I shared many a good meal with my parents and grandparents. So yeah, stumbling across this was huge in my book! We arrived and were greeted promptly. They had the typical Mexican restaurant decor and big open floor plan. While walking to our table, I was digging the Stevie Ray Vaughan music playing throughout the restaurant. We put our name on a list, and after a brief 5-10 minute wait we were seated. We were greeted promptly by two nice waitresses. One waitress was in training and learning the ropes. They took our drink order and we were left to peruse the menu. Chips and salsa came while we waited for our drinks. Chips and salsa always tells the story if a Mexican restaurant will have good food. Knowing the quality of Los Tios, I was not worried. As expected, the chips and salsa were just as delicious as I remembered having them as a tot! We picked at chips and browsed the menu. On a side note.. When in Rome... You must get a puffy queso. This is one of their signature dishes you get here. It is an actual queso puff and not a cheap imitation taco shell flipped over with queso on top. This is the real deal. I ordered the lunch special of one puffy queso and one cheese enchilada. The wife ordered the chicken fajita tacos, but did not get a puffy queso. Her loss.... After a nice visit with the wife, and in good time, our food arrived. Very hot plate, so I went to knock out the puffy queso first. It was absolutely delicious. Crunchy, cheesy, and really good. After my plate cooled down a scarfed down the rest. All of it was very delicious. Not one spec of food left on my plate. The wife enjoyed her tacos. We paid our bill and made our way out the door. On the way out they have a big bowl of Andes mints, so I grabbed some before heading to the car. The entire experience was nostalgic and delicious. Everything was excellent just as I remembered it. If you are in Fredericksburg, I highly recommend you stop in and get you some good Tex-Mex. You will not be disappointed. According to local news, Los Tios is/was supposed to come to San Antonio. It cannot get here soon enough. Hey Los Tios, what is the ETA on that? Can you provide me with a date? Enjoy!
