So I ordered a couple of breakfast tacos through favor and am disappointed in one of the tacos I had received. Shame on you cook for letting it leave the store like that instead of making me a brand new edible one. read more

THIS PLACE WAS SO DAMG YUMMY! The tortillas were phenomenal! Like these brought childhood memories of my late grandmothers tortillas and I use that seldomly lol. The tortilla soup actually had chicken in there compared to most places and tasted delicious! Our waitress was super attentive and sweet! Ensured we were refilled on drinks and asked if we needed anything else! The place was smaller and quaint but super clean and cozy! Definitely recommend this place! read more

Worst service ever never coming back to this place i order 4 fajita tacos and took them 1 hour to bring the food restaurant wasn't even full or busy coffee was just water no flavor lemonade taste like trash read more

Legit the worst meal I've ever in San Antonio. We each took a bite or two, paid and rolled out. Went to Pepe's. Somehow I spent 45 dollars for two people to not eat. Lemonade was the one redeeming part but for 4 dollars I got a full cup of ice and maybe 6-8 ounces of lemonade. Bacon and beans are inedible. Chorizo and potatoes was about the same. Anywhere is better than here. The wait staff was friendly. But the food is so bad I wouldn't eat it for free. read more

While I found that this place is a good basic breakfast spot. They have everything you want from tacos two waffles and all your breakfast needs. The food was good but the atmosphere was a little bit rundown and the restaurant felt a little dirty. but overall the prices are good in the service is average, so if you're looking for a quick breakfast, this is a good place read more

The mom and daughter duo quit but this place had gone down hill... been coming here for well over 25 years and it's not the same. The food is crap, they have no working soda fountain they charge you for not paying cash. There is normally only one server who workers her butt off but the kitchen is soooo slow we have had to walk out!! 45 mins to get food is ridiculous especially when they only worry about to Togo orders first, DoorDash has ruined them that way in customer service. Hopefully they sell soon and can restore it to its glory days. Because what they are doing now clearly isn't cutting it. read more

I waited 40 minutes for one plate of enchiladas, after that long I just got up and left! Our waitress also didn't bring us a cup of water like we asked. I was told "I have to find a cup" even though there was plastic cups right behind the bar, we never received a cup. Also while we sat there for 40 minutes waiting she did not come by one time to ask if we were ok or anything, just sat at the bar talking. I will never come here again. Don't waste your time either! read more

We've been customers of this restaurant for years so to put a review like this out is disappointing. Recently we went for breakfast we sat down and were greeted with a quick response the waitress didn't stop for a moment, when we ordered there was a language barrier so it made it hard to communicate how we wanted our food we watched as several tables were seated served and out the door quickly we sat for over thirty minutes waiting for our food with no word as to if it was coming or not the waitress came by and asked if we wanted coffee on four separate occasions when we got the food the waitress brought out the wrong order we had started eating she walked over took the plate and brought it in the back to put the rest of the order on the plate there was no communication honestly I will not be going back to this place it has disappointed me too many times. read more

As a long time customer I won't be going back. I was sickened to see a long time waitress come ask if I was finished ,look in the tortilla warmer &see 1 uneaten tortilla, flip the lid, walk my dirty plate over to the dirty dish bin, the carry the tortilla warmer, with the uneaten tort into the kitchen. I can't go back without thinking I may have someone else's uneaten tort on my plate or taco. I'd like them to know how that 1 tortilla cost them a long time customer, possible more that read this, food sales, & tips. read more

I used to go here all the time when I was a kid; it's still good. The flour tortillas are the best in the city imo. Fluffy, floury, delicious. The service is fast and attentive. They treat you like family. It's an old dinner so it's not the most stylish setting, but you go for the food and the service, and in my case, the nostalgia. Breakfast tacos all the way. read more

Waffle was good, but it needed to be cooked a little more for my taste. Chips were stale. Salsa is just ok kinda bland. The crispy taco was great but everything else was just plain, nothing special. The service was really slow. I doubt we'll be back. read more

A place to sit down with your family and enjoy a meal without any bad vibes and the food is always perfect

Today is really busy but overall waitstaff is really slow we had been forgotten to get our order after sitting here for about 20 mins. Finally got our order and had to wait additional 30 mins for our food. read more

The last time I ate at this place the food was cold. We complained about it, and they still charged us for it. I don't recommend this place AT ALL. The food isn't good, service is sometimes slow, and the owners have done NOTHING to fix the place up, or at least just try to make it look more appealing. Poor management, and ownership will be this location's downfall. read more

Good food ... BUT they now charge a 5% "Non-Cash Fee" if you use a credit card. THEN they charged me $1 for a tortilla. Ridiculous !!!!! NEVER going there again !!! read more

First things first. PLACE IS DISGUSTING!!! I walk in and I already can tell this place is not sanitary, there are bugs crawling on tables!! I wouldn't go to this place if I were anyone just because you don't know what you might expect. My waiter wasn't helpful at all he didn't even ask us if we needed any sauces or anything else to help satisfy our meal. Bad place overall I am most certainly not coming back here! read more

I haven't been here in a while and now I know why. I ordered tacos to go and they were terrible. The cook is not happy to be there by the looks and taste of the food! It's just horrible! How hard is it to make potato and egg?!? I had 2 pieces of potato and the egg was over cooked! read more

Super expensive!! I understand inflation but $14 for barbaco plate. Small portion of barbaco, lots of runny refried beans, small portion of potato's. I will not eat here again. The food was good but just as good as any where else. 1 waitress for a full restaurant. read more

Thousand Oaks Café - Restuarant with 1 waitress. - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've had breakfast delivered from here twice during the quarantine. They have their full menu available all day. If Chips & Queso and homemade lemonade for breakfast are wrong, I don't want to be right! I could make a meal out of their tortillas and queso. Their omelets are huge and could feed two people. I will definitely be going to eat here as soon as the quarantine is over. read more

Thousand Oaks Café - Chicken Fajita Omelet delivered. Yum! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Was debating on making a review but I think my experience was so bad, a review is warranted. I came in with my father on the 1 year anniversary of my mom's passing because this was their favorite restaurant. The Austin Hwy location NEVER disappoints but this location is the only one open on Sundays, so we came here. What was already a solemn day was quickly made even worse by our server. She takes our order and I notice she doesn't write it down, but I give her the benefit of the doubt thinking she's one of the good ones who can memorize orders well. I order a Stephanie's Favorite, queso on side. When the food arrives, it's a completely different dish. She goes, "that's what you got right?" And I'm like uhh, no? I didn't even know what plate she served me but she goes "ohhh I'm sorry, I mixed up the Stephanie's Favorite with the Mikes Favorite!". She takes it back, brings me the right plate, but dear god was it the most pitiful dish I've ever seen in my life. I have several years in food service and immediately I knew that my plate had to have been a dead plate, hands down. The egg was so overcooked it looked like it had disintegrated into rubbery little pieces. The migas were chewy and cold. The queso was coagulated on top yet runny and lukewarm at the same time? Since the beans were on the bottom of the plate, they were still warm, but everything on top was cold, meaning it probably wasn't even under a heat lamp so who knows how old that plate was. Not fresh at all and it should have never left the window in that condition. The line cook, expo, and server, should have all stopped this plate before it even touched my table but they didn't. BUT, because I've been a server for years, I still did my best to eat it since our server had already messed up once, she seemed visibly stressed, and she mentioned she had fallen earlier? I gave her some grace and decided to just take the L. I'm about 2/3 of the way eating my gross plate when she comes over to check on us and I'm honest with her about how awful my food was. She apologizes, asks if I wanted it heated up, but I decline because the microwave is only gonna make it worse. She leaves and I HEAR HER loud and clear as day talking about me, and berating me for complaining yet "she already ate it all." Mind you, I speak fluent Spanish so I hear everything, including the names she's calling me. I immediately stopped eating. I turn around to see her and another employee staring at me. I go, "Yeah I'm eating it because I'm hungry!" She comes back and I tell her "this plate should have never left your kitchen in the first place!" Instead of offering to remake it right away, she blames it on me not telling her sooner about my plate & sure, I can acknowledge that maybe I should have spoken up sooner but because of the sad mood I was already in, and because she was visibly running around stressed out, I sincerely didn't want to be a bother! Instead, I told her I heard everything you were saying about me, so I'm not finishing my food, don't worry. She takes the plate and walks away & again, I hear her saying more things to the kitchen staff. She comes back & tells me that the line cook agreed that the plate shouldn't have been sent out like that (lol) and NOW he's offering to remake it. But I declined again because I just wanted to leave at this point. She condescendingly apologises profusely again to me and my dad, and condescendingly tells me, again, that I should've said something sooner but that she's "not blaming me", it's just "advice for next time.", in her words. She also lied and said she had taken off my plate from the bill but she didn't, the bill was originally $28 but I paid $25, so I was given a discount but I didn't need or want any kind of financial retribution, so that's the least of my concerns. I left feeling so disappointed and like the situation was handled so poorly by her, especially since I know she was just trying to save face for a tip but from the way she was speaking about me behind my back, I know it wasn't genuine. I still tipped her $10 because my server guilt knows that we're not perfect, just human. But what an experience! read more

Try this place for the second time. The waitress gotmy order wrong . Never came by the table. But a reg came in she jumped up to cater to his service meanwhile I was ignored. She bad mouthing about her co-workers. I never come again. To this location. read more

I will preface this by saying that we went to this restaurant New Year's morning. When we got there it wasn't crowded but about 15 minutes after we got there it became seriously packed with both to go orders and people waiting for tables. It took quite a while for us to be greeted by our server who seemed like she was in the weeds, even though she only had three tables at that time. They don't offer free chips and salsa, but you can't really rate a Mexican restaurant without tasting their chips and salsa, beans and tortillas so we just paid for it. The server brings out our drinks and chips and salsa after about five minutes and instead of salsa, she brings me ranchero sauce, a BIG bowl of it. Thankfully it was big enough for my egg plate because I never got a side of the sauce for the eggs. There was salsa on the table that was more traditional and it was actually very good, chips sucked. I ordered the huevos rancheros with the sauce on the side like always and a papa chorizo to go. My hubby ordered menudo and a couple of tacos. The food takes a while to come out and half of it was missing but we assumed that she would be out with the rest of it shortly. She never visited the table again and was very overwhelmed, forgot the rest of our food an we never had drink refills (we were, ahem...a little parched from NYE festivities). One positive, the tortillas were good. We never got the menudo or my papa chorizo taco. I'll make concession for the crowd and give a generous 2. I love a mom and pop environment so we'll try another day. read more

Man oh man was this good. In case you happen to be a lover of all things low-carb, this is the place for you. I really enjoyed my breakfast which amounted to an omelette with carnitas and some avocado on the side. Really could not have asked for more - I wish I could have this every morning of my life. Price was right too (though I live in the Bay Area so basically any price is right when I'm traveling outside of this place). We were seated quickly and the food came out before we knew it! (can you tell we were in a bit of a rush?) This was on a Saturday at around 9-10am so maybe the crowd comes later? Not sure if it ever really gets packed but it's well worth a bit of a wait if there is one. Enjoy! read more

Thousand Oaks Café - Chorizo omelet with side of carnitas and avocado - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The food is good. The process of ordering is not fault of the waitress. The waiting for our food was terribly bad. Lizzy is an awesome waitress always in a happy mood & has excellent customer service. Thanx read more

Food is ALWAYS good. Service always good! It's a wholesome breakfast/brunch spot lol so idk about "ambiance".. it's not gonna be dimly lit, nor have alcoholic beverages, but it's definitely cute, tasty and very family friendly read more

I ALWAYS go to the Thousand Oak Cafe on Jones Maltsberger and that's where I'm gonna keep going to. The only good thing about this place is that they make the same ranchero sauce as the other location. This place has food that tastes stale, old and cold, even when ordering at 8am. I only went here because the other one is closed on Sunday. Don't eat at this location unless you have horrible tastebuds or have no taste due to Covid. Yes, it's that bad. read more

Great food as always! Order the usual breakfast, Migas Rancheras & Carne Guisada w/cheese taco. Fresh tortillas, that home cooking feel, can't say enough about this place. A must anytime we are in the area. read more

Second time they mess up my order on DoorDash. I called to see if I can go get my right order and the front lady said no that I have to go through DoorDash and order again. Keep in mind it was just one carne guisada taco that they needed to give me. I would suggest the owner to train their staff better. read more

We recently moved back to the area. I used to eat here 10 plus years ago. The food was good then and it still is...added bonus they have waffles for my picky eaters (children). Only downfall is how early they close. read more

Went to get brunch like we always do. I never left with my food in a two-go-bag ever. My tacos S...k the waitress asked if everything was okay but clearly it wasn't . I didn't want to speak up because this is our spot when we want good tacos. Drive from the east side of town to their side of town. My tacos, potato egg cheese with bacon & Carn cheese the tortillas were cold and were burnt the cheese didn't even melt. My food felt like it came out of the fridge. read more

Our go to breakfast spot when we are visiting friends in the area. The food is spot on Mexican and will definitely cure effects of a wild evening. The Café is not fancy it's almost divey. According to friends their menudo is the best. I tried it and it is good. Prices are reasonable, service is AOK and the food is perfecto. It does get crowded so you may have to sit at their countertop not a big deal... Total goodness!!! read more

My favorite place for a Mexican breakfast. I always get the migas rancheros or huevos rancheros. So good and you cant beat the prices. The service is always good you can tell the tortillas are homemade. It's a little old and dated but I feel that's what makes it charming. read more

Our breakfast was good and I would like to come back to try their lunch options. The tacos are very generous and the bacon is good. My picadillo was dry and lacked flavor but the tortillas were top notch. We found it odd that the egg in our tacos were soggy. One taco could fill you up, we're just so used to getting two because the places we frequent make them small. Our waiter(Memo) was hands down the best server ever, he came to the table every 5 minutes to check on us. My coffee cup was always full! read more

Food is great. Best breakfast tacos around. Carne guisada and chilaquiles tacos are my favorite.

Cheap. Good. Mexican. Good prices. Good food. Migas. Bean and cheese with bacon tacos. Good nachos. We eat here pretty often and my kids love it. It is a neighborhood staple in our area. They close at 3pm so get there for breakfast or lunch. They are super crowded on weekend mornings but they move in and out pretty quick. read more

This is not a fancy place. However, the food and the staff are exceptional. My favorite meal is the caldo de pollo....but the enchilada plates are exceptional! 6 stars if I could!! read more
