    Asada Taco

    2 Asada Tacos for $10.40? If I'm paying this price I'd expect the tacos to be flavorful. Wasn't the case. Basically just fast food

    I literally went through drive thru for one taco. I ordered a carne guisada with cheese for $5.99 WTH! One taco.... I was better off going in and eating a breakfast plate! My taco was not even good so I paid that much for a taco that I could not even finish eating.

    Al pastor torta
    Thu T.

    Delicious hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Chips are warm and crispy, salsa is spicy and tastes authentic. Al pastor torta is big and meaty. One thing unique about this dish is that the pork is not greasy, it's firm and doesn't have orange grease dripped out of the sandwich like many other al pastor tortas would have. With only $10.99, it comes with a side of waffle fries that are crispy and a nice add to the dish. Highly recommend you stop by this place when you're around the area. It's a casual and quick meal to surely make your tummy happy.

    Tacos de Barbacoa are delicious: my woman loved the puffy tacos. She had them fill it with Barbacoa

    Hoy celebro estar de regreso en la escuela como sustituto, trabajar como conserje en el Alamodome para Labor On Demand y obtener un excelente informe de salud de mis médicos. I come to a nearby favorite restaurant of mine that serves very tasty food and caters to my allergies to Gluten by giving me corn tortillas. Their service is friendly and prompt. Their prices are good. My server, Minerva was very nice.

    Cheese enchiladas plate

    Amazing food. Some of the best been and cheese breakfast tacos. My mom swears by their Chicharron and salsa breakfast taco. I also love their cheese enchiladas plate. Yum! They sell Big Red in a can and you can ask for a cup of ice to make it perfect. Service is always so friendly. I've never been inside this location but there's often a line for the drive-thru, but it's always worth it.

    OMG I have died and gone to heaven. Saturday morning and this place was packed with tables of 3 generation families, and there was a long drive-thru line that wrapped all around the building. This place is their second location, at the corner of Callahan and Culebra. My waitress, Nancy, made me feel so welcome and recommended the Chicken Monterrey plate which had a brown sauce that turned out to be wow, simply wow. The red rice was small grained and delish, the chips and salsa yummy. Locally owned, blue plate winner.

    Mexican Restaurants are a dime a dozen in San Antonio. You really have to set yourself apart when it comes to attracting and luring customers. I'm happy to say that Taurinos does that with their good ole fashion home style approach to their customers. As soon as you walk in, you're treated like family. The staff make you feel so warm & welcome before your even order, you feel like your eating at your family home. I got to try the Fideo which was phenomenal, the Chili Com Carne, Pollo Con Calabacita, and the fish tacos! Everything was freaking delicious! They were all plates very nicely and the food tasted very good! They have two locations on Callaghan and this location usually is busy during peak lunch & dinner hours.

    Quesadilla plate

    As far as neighborhood tex mex restaurants go, Taurinos is truly a gem to have close to home. After some drive thru issues in my last review, they've fixed them and deserve to be recognized for their great tex mex food, quick service, and fair prices!

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.

They ran out of cheesecake so they gave us tres leches as a substitute--as a huge tres leches fan, this was even better. Both desserts were outstanding. 10/10 will be back if visiting San Antonio again Service was also exceptional--ask for Theresa!! Love the setting, definitely sit outside if you can! Sitting by the river is super scenic and romantic.

There's such a wonderful selection, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious.

That really makes a difference for a family outing! And oh my goodness, the appetizers are simply fantastic. We couldn't get enough! I also have to give a special shout-out to the Carrajillo I ordered. It was such a delightful surprise - perfectly balanced, not overly sweet, with a lovely citrusy kick that made it incredibly refreshing. Definitely a new favorite drink! 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.
