Everything could be improved. Let's start with the attitude of the hostess: she was extremely rude to my husband. She was staring at him weirdly and he had just gotten off work from the graveyard shift. That threw my husband off for the whole morning. She treated him like someone who is lower than. Then they bathed the omelet in grease. I had to blot the grease out. And it's on the pictures how many napkins I had to use. Poor food, poor service. No way will we be back. read more

Wow, breakfast here was spot on! It's hard to find Mexican breakfast food this authentic and consistently good. The service was fast, efficient, and very easy. The entire place is clean, bright, and has a super friendly atmosphere. Definite 5 stars if you are looking for the good Mexican food to start the day. I'll be making this a regular routine when in the area. read more

Favorite place to get chicken tortilla soup, their enchiladas verdes are pretty good too. Some of the waitresses can be a little snarky if they think you don't understand Spanish but otherwise they are generally nice. read more

Best food and staff is very friendly. Chilaquiles is the best. It does get crowded so go early. They close at 3:00pm and closed on Sundays

Thousand Oak Cafe II - Bean and Bean & Cheese Taco, Chilaquiles Regulares - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Service sucked food was ok and they charged a 2.15$ charge to use a card when we know it's .35$

Good prices, good service, delicious food. Can't get enough of this place! Breakfast tacos are the bomb

Nice little cafe on the corner of Austin Highway and I didn't get the name of the other street but it's on the corner. The inside is cute looks like it was made in the 80s. Service was OK could've been better. We didn't have to wait too long before the waitress take our order. She was great in the beginning but when we needed a refill she took a while to notice us. All in all it was ok not too bad. The food was good, nothing spectacular. My bean & cheese was the best taco. The tortillas were really good tho I definitely recommend these tortillas they are fully cooked, soft and fluffy. read more

This place is the best spot in SA for a delicious Tex-Mex breakfast. The best homemade flour tortillas, the best refried beans, the best huevos rancheros, it's all delicious. So much so that I used to eat here at least 2 or 3 mornings per week when I lived in San Antonio. The service is always quick and friendly and the restaurant itself is cozy and laidback. Feels like home! read more

I ordered potato and egg and this is what I was given. A lot better options in the area than this. Seems like this place has lost its touch. read more

Good food. Good service. Good ambience. All around, really good restaurant that you should try.

This place is legit! It's a Mexican food restaurant in a diner type setting. Great breakfast items and plenty of lunch specials to choose from. The price point for breakfast plates is perfect. They have at least four different styles of chilaquiles plates to choose from. I had the Chilaquiles Rancheros for $6.99. It came out of the kitchen piping hot, topped with pico de gallo, ranchera sauce, and cheese. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the tortilla chips were still crispy - not soggy like you find at some places. For $6.99, it included refried beans and potatoes. The taters were good, but the beans could use just a little work - they are just a bit on the runny side. The ham omelet, smothered with cheese, includes 2 pancakes OR beans and potatoes for $7.99. The omelet and the pancakes were both light and fluffy. read more

Great service was definitely the best food I have ever had would come back here any time with my family and friends!

Thousand Oaks Café on Austin Hwy has never disappointed us! You definitely get the ambiance of an old-school diner inside the restaurant, and the friendly staff provides good service. I ordered the huevos rancheros plate with sausage, they are one of the few places that actually offer sausage patties so I was pleased with that. Everything was very tasty especially the ranchero sauce because it's actually spicy and seasoned very well. My husband got the chorizo and egg plate which I was surprisingly impressed with. I've noticed here in Texas that a lot of Mexican restaurants use a chorizo that has a gamey or vinegary taste and this one does not. The tortillas are fantastic and the coffee is excellent. I wish we still lived on the side of town because we would be here a lot more often! read more

Absolutely amazing food! Delicious! The staff were very sweet and patient! The restaurant was very old-timey/homey and very comfy. I got "Stephanie's Favorite" with a lemonade (which was homemade), and it was sooooo good! Please go here if you are wanting some gooooood Mexican food! read more

Running errands today on Austin Highway and decided to try this place. The only good thing about this place was the service. $13 for a breakfast plate that was plain and dry. 6 pieces of beef fajita with some beans "no flavor" and some cold potatoes. Even the chilaquiles was decent at best. I can go to any Taqueria on Walzem road and pay half that price and get a bigger portion. Definitely never coming back. read more

If you're older than 40 you remember how good the food in San Antonio was in the 70's and 80's. The old ways of San Antonio's food scene are alive and well on Jones Maltsbeger. You don't go here for the art or music scene there isn't any. A great meal a fresh glass of iced tea and some of the best coffee on the North Side. This is San Antonio food.. only open for breakfast and lunch.. eat at home for dinner. read more

On Jan 1 I went to this and got a takeout order for caldo for my wife. I brought it home and my wife had an serving. She has now been up All Night throwing up. BEWARE BEFORE EATING AT THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!! read more

Always my favorite breakfast! House made corn and flour tortillas are great! Chilaquilies (sp?) are fantastic as well.

This place has my favorite breakfast taco in town. We eat lunch here at least once every two weeks. If you haven't tried it, head on over! read more

After having gone to Thousand Oak Cafe II two days in a row I feel like I can write this review. I am just over the moon about their Chilaquiles Verdes (~$5), featuring tortilla chips, egg, chicken topped with tomatillo sauce and white cheese. The restaurant has a fantastic green hot sauce and I basically use a whole bottle to douse my dish. The complimentary (with this dish) homemade tortillas are perfect. Highly recommend! The location is not convenient and consequently neither is the parking. The establishment is slightly run down, as are the seats and restrooms. The hours only run until early afternoon. But for how cheap the food is (military discount yay), I'd come back over and over again! read more

Best breakfast tacos in town! This is my go to whenever I look for a really good taco. Love the green salsa read more

Best breakfast tacos in San Antonio!! The tortillas are always so fresh and have the perfect amount of "fluff" to them. Very reasonably priced and has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast spots in town. You seat yourself and it can get very busy (especially on Saturday mornings), but it never takes too long for a table to become available. It's definitely worth the wait. The only downside to this place is that it's closed on Sundays. read more

Thousand Oak Cafe II - Breakfast taco - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Thousand Oaks Cafe (TOC) occupies the shell of an old Jim's, and the diner vibe sets this Tex-Mex establishment apart from the rest! My husband and I grabbed a booth, and the first thing that struck us was how amazingly cool it was inside. Between you and me, I kinda want to camp out there the rest of the summer (or at least until 3:00 PM when they close) to escape the oppressive South Texas heat! Because TOC was a former diner, there's ample seating. I don't think I've ever had to wait (at least not for long) for a table, even though the restaurant gets pretty packed. Based on my experiences, the service has been great! To be clear, great service to me is a steady flow of refills. But the employees are polite and efficient too, so there's that. I typically order bean & cheese tacos at any Tex-Mex restaurant, and today's were very tasty (the flour tortillas are homemade, so they don't have that gross synthetic taste you get from the store-bought variety). My husband got a barbacoa taco and the migas with chorizo, which are served with a side of potatoes and refried beans. He enjoyed his meal; I mean, his plate(s) were empty at the end of our visit--if that's any indication. If it isn't, I did get verbal confirmation from him just now. If you're in the area looking for a good Tex-Mex option, this place won't disappoint! read more

This place has been on my list for years. I would pass it up, remind myself, then forget. Finally I came today wanting an omelette. Walking in I liked it at first glance. It is dated circa 1970s but clean and tidy. The food was good! The service was good, the servers really nice with an intensity like it was bust but it really wasn't. So maybe we gor here after the rush and they were wound up. read more

Still great food, still great workers. So why three stars now? The owner and her very questionable business practices. I am a loyal customer who has been coming here for many years. I always tip over 20%. I sometimes bring the staff doughnuts in the morning. I am friendly with everyone and they are friendly with me. Except the owner. She is beyond petty, as evidenced by the double coffee charge. She once sat directly next to me in an uncrowded restaurant during COVID, which I can only assume was to 'intimidate' me. You don't treat customers like this, loyal or otherwise. This is how you lose business, lady, and your menu does not have accurate representation of your severe degree of pettiness. Grow up. read more

This place is great. The food is consistently good as is their service. Good Tex-Mex. Open space makes for better feel.

Puffy chicken tacos for breakfast? Of course. Never been disappointed here in my several years of patronage. Extensive menu that you can get at anytime. Reasonable prices. Great service. The tacos were hot and crunchewy and tasty. Great guac. I took a photo of the last one before it disappeared. Sweet tea just right- fresh and not too sweet. read more

This is a blue-collar Tex Mex eatery. The place is usually packed at breakfast. The Migas were bland, just eggs, cheese, and chips cooked in veggie oil. The fried potatoes were greasy and tasted like lard. The corn tortillas were mostly flour and partially cooked. The Chorizo dish had eggs, onions, jalapenos, with a sprinkling of salsa verde. The eggs were half fried and half scrambled and very dicey. The food is cooked quickly as they have plenty of servers here. This is not a quality food place. read more

Ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes ate that came with refried beans and breakfast potatoes. I ordered a bean and cheese taco on the side. The Chilaquiles Verdes plate was pretty good.
