    Conchas con Nata
    Word S.

    Best chilaquiles I have ever had in my life and the conchas were out of this world. This is the real deal. My wife told me it reminded her of her abuela's cooking. The restaurant was so clean and had a calming aesthetic. Our server was very professional and polite. Next time we are in town we are coming here. I wish I had time to try the whole menu. P.S., get your chilaquiles with marital problems so you can try the best of both sauces. I normally get it with eggs, but I had steak this time. Out of this world delicious. I would've licked the plate if I could!

    Last time I had ate from this place was in 2023. I had a good experience the first time. So I was in the neighborhood and stopped by again and ordered chile relleno with cheese. It reminded me of my grandma's cooking. So exquisite flavors like rock pops bursting in my mouth full of Mexican flavor

    Food was great! The service was warm and perfect. The Horchata and Michelada were great as well!

    Let me preface that I have never had a bad experience here, never, not even once!! It's so amazing here! The servers are always so kind and attentive, the food is always delicious and extremely authentic. I usually come here for breakfast/brunch and I never regret it. I would recommend Tlahco to anyone wanting to experience authentic Mexican food in SA.

    Tlahco instantly became one of my favorite spots in San Antonio. I've probably been here a dozen times, and the food consistently tastes like it was made in someone's home kitchen in the very best way -- super flavorful, authentic, comforting, and full of that real, no-shortcuts sazón you just don't find everywhere. The service is just as memorable. Everyone is friendly and attentive without making you feel rushed, and the whole place has this relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. If you're craving authentic, heartfelt Mexican food that truly tastes homemade, Tlahco is such a solid choice. I'm already planning what to order next time. Tip: It gets really busy during peak hours (for good reason), and seating is limited -- join the waitlist before you arrive so you're not stuck waiting outside!

    Parrillada Mixta al Carbon for 2
    Melissa O.

    We've ordered from this place twice and both times gotten the Parrillada Mixta al Carbon for 2 - steak, chicken, shrimp, sausage, quesadillas, jalapeno poppers, roasted corn, grilled onions, guacamole, salsas, tortillas, rice, and beans. And hooooly moly. The second time we ordered we were nervous that we were overthinking how good it was the first time. Thank goodness we were not. It was just as good on round two. Highly, highly recommend.

    Wow what an authentic place! Loved the food, ate like a pig... ordered a lot of the menu and was worth it. The service was super nice folks were very attentive and friendly. I felt like was in Mexico the food, the place, the plates everything was really nice im definitely returning here.

    Such an amazing spot to have Mexican food in San Antonio. The restaurant is very busy but the waitress was super sweet and they got the coffee and food out fairly quickly. I ordered the cafe de olla and it was so good, it is too sweet for me but the waitress gave me a great tip to mix some regular and cafe de olla coffee and that made it the perfect sweetness for me. I had the chilaquiles verdes and oh my gosh, they are the best chilaquiles I've had in San Antonio. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great place for Mexican food. The decoration and plates are super cute as well. My husband ordered breakfast tacos and they were very large and he said they were really good as well.

    Enchiladas Verdes
    Karina E.

    A M A Z I N G Came on a recommendation from a friend. So glad we tried it out!! To begin, the place was pretty empty at 4 pm on Saturday. The hostess told us to sit anywhere we'd like. They came immediately to ask us for drinks. The horchata was so good! They also had offerings of fresh juices and cafe de olla (will be trying that for breakfast one day). The chips and beans were given to us shortly after and they tasted soooo good. We needed time to look at the menu but the waitress was really nice. The inside of the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. The plates remind me of Mexico and it's beautifully handcrafted. All the food was delicious but we definitely favor the sopes and the enchiladas. The concha's came out warm and are so soft! 10/5 will come here many times in the future. Worth the money.

    Chip's and dips
    Owen C.

    Wow!!! This was seriously maybe the best place I have ever eaten. I suggested it for my coworkers and since we're from out of this state, they agreed with me to go here. As we pulled up the outside looked cute, but honestly when we walked in we were all even more excited. The vibe in here was super energetic with their super nice layout and the fun enjoyable music playing. The food we each order blew our minds and even the basic chips and dips that were dropped off at first were all legit. I always love genuine Mexican food but service is always my main priority and the service here was seriously perfect. This may be a place you drive past if you don't know it but I recommend for you to stop here and even drive many many miles to come here. It is so amazing for sure.

    Cochinita Pibil
    Cynthia T.

    This place reminds me of Brownsville in the best, most nostalgic way. My friend and I saw how good the food looked on Tlahco's instagram and website and decided to give it a shot for Sunday brunch. The inside of the restaurant was like visiting the Valley. We had a 25-minute wait, but it was worth it. There was so much to choose from on the menu, but I picked the cochinita pibil, and my friend picked the mole. We also ordered an horchata and cafe de olla each. The horchata and cafe de olla were perfectly sweet. Both dishes came with a side of rice, beans, and tortillas. (I got 1 corn and 1 flour, and he got two flour) We also had complementary chips and salsa, and much to my delight, they were the homemade thicc and sturdy chips. Nothing will break in those salsas. My dish was served in a GIANT molcajete. It was a little overwhelming to be honest! In fact, all the dishes were so authentic, being heavy clay or volcanic rock. Fortunately I was allowed to take my leftovers home and enjoy them for dinner. Service was great. They were all incredibly polite and never left us waiting. They knew exactly when to approach us. There were some really nice things on the menu I wanted to try but didn't have enough room in my stomach: The conchas with chocolate dipping sauce, the guava pie, and much more. But I guess that gives me a reason to come back and visit, ey?

    Ooof this was surpassed my expectations. Charro beans were some of the best I've ever had. Didn't get to take a pic of everyone else's food but they all had some bangers.

    This restaurant had great service with great ambience. We ordered breakfast tacos and Cafe de olla which was so delicious! This was a second breakfast restaurant we went to that had this kind of coffee and it was so good!

    Do they serve puffy tacos here?

    Are the flour tortillas homemade? Do they a tortillera rolling them by hand? Are they above average??? I want to tortillas that are freshly made!!! :)

    All the tortillas are homemade , you can't see them making them, but they are homemade tortillas. I would not say they are above average. If you want above average tortillas you need to go to Alamo Café.

    Are there gluten free options?

    No, im afraid not!

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.

It's safe to say everyone was more than satisfied with this place after dining here. Let's start with the drinks here. As with any Tex-Mex spot in SA, it comes down to margaritas; and this place does it exquisitely. Some of us arrived early to take advantage of the happy hour margarita prices ($5/margarita during HH) where you can get it frozen or on the rocks. Many of us decided on frozen since the texas heat was full blast outside. These are tasty and presented well with a nice blend of tequila flavor. Since these are prepared in house and through a margarita machine, the bartenders kept them coming and gave us a reminder when HH would end (from 3pm to 6pm FYI) so we could get one more order in before it ended. Right when HH ended, we were led to our table which accommodated all 12 of us. It's strongly encouraged to make reservations via OpenTable and definitely call if you're gonna have reservations of 8+ people. Fortunately when I spoke with them earlier that morning, they made sure our table was ready around 6. Since that's when HH ended and we had a few drinks in us, many of us were buzzing and ready to feast after we were seated. Upon being served the complimentary chips and salsa, we also ordered table-side guacamole and ceviche for the table which we all scarfed down. The guacamole uses lime AND orange which gives a nice sweet citrus finish to the spiciness of the jalapeno and creaminess of the avocados. The ceviche included an assortment of fish, cilantro, onion, and tomato in a lime juice/oil marinade. This was refreshing and the fish very tender. Definitely recommend putting the guacamole on top of it on either one of the crackers or chips so your taste buds can really explode. Both are signature appetizers and should be considered upon being seated. Now for entrees, there was a combination of dishes people ordered and everyone loved them all. Several people ordered chicken/beef/combo fajitas which come steaming hot on the skillet and served with flour (or corn) tortillas. These definitely smelled incredible and tasted just as good according to the ones who ordered it. A couple others ordered enchiladas, mainly the enchiladas divorciadas where one is covered in green salsa, the other in red. These were also a popular hit due to the different salsas and the enchiladas were very tender and filling. Other items such as the nachos topped with shrimp, the chicken flautas, and the Chile Rennano stuffed pepper all were devoured. I had the Pollo con Mole which had that cocoa flavor I love from Mole. The chicken was very tender and the poblano rice was a nice compliment. After our meals, we were served complimentary tres leches cake; a perfect ending to the meal. The cake was complimentary as a result of the Spurs winning their match up against the Portland Trailblazers and closing out the series. Thank you Spurs! This was one of the best team dinners I've had; the one where every single person couldn't stop raving about the food, drinks, atmosphere, and the experience. I forgot our servers name but she was incredible and made sure we got what we needed. No doubt we'll be returning here again for some Tex Mex and more of those delicious margaritas! Muchas Gracias Paloma Blanca!
