    Cheese Enchiladas Plate (3)
    Bailey H.

    Listen -- I don't ever want to hear any Tommy's slander. Yes, expect it to be busy, because this place earns it! Think sit-down Tex-Mex, southern sweet tea served in a large to-go cup, and plates so hot they're almost too hot to touch. Nothing fancy, just reliably good food that hits the spot. Some dishes stand out more than others, but you can never go wrong with their enchiladas -- always a safe and delicious choice. It's usually crowded, and yes, it can get loud, but the service is always kind and welcoming -- they make you feel right at home even in the chaos. My heart wants to give this 5 stars, but a few little inconsistencies keep me at 4. Still, it's a San Antonio classic I keep coming back to.

    Steak tacos
    Julie S.

    Business was recommended by a friend and I can't be more glad we went. It was delicious. The breakfast tacos were amazing and the tortillas were so delicious. Nice little casual place to try. Would definitely go back. Barbacoa was also really good. Service was fast and friendly.

    Piece of plastic found in taco

    I went and got some breakfast tacos after work. While eating my bacon egg and cheese, unfortunately I bit into a piece of plastic that was located inside of my taco. Fortunately I didn't consume this unknown piece of plastic. Hopefully the cooks will see this and be more careful when preparing food. Tacos were good nonetheless but I guess check the insides before you eat it or give it to a loved one. Unfortunate situation and ruined my appetite.

    Potato & egg
    Anna Marie S.

    Got 2 bacon & egg with extra cheese, 1 potato & egg, and 1 bean & cheese. You call in your order and wait in line until you get to the front door, not the best setup. The line blocks several parking spots, and exiting is a bit of a challenge. A worker asked for my name, went inside, then came back out with a bag with my order. She took my card and took my food back inside as well. She didn't bring the food or my card (and receipt) back until after she brought the food for the car in front of me. Kind of strange thing to do.

    Puffy Tacos
    J E.

    Stopped in here one weekday for lunch... this place was packed at lunch time and people kept shuffling through for carryout too! They have pretty friendly and helpful service, which is always nice. Their menu is standard and very reasonably priced. I tried puffy tacos for the first time and they were great! The tortilla that was fried was perfect, not too crunchy to where it would fall apart, just perfect! The meat in the beef was decent, but the meat in the chicken one was bland. Their nachos are unique, as they are individual tortilla chips with each one topped with meat, etc. Salsas was nice - spicy and fresh! Overall, I liked Tommy's and can see returning!

    BARBADILL

    Great food always . One of the best for simple Mexican food. Not sure why this isn't above a 4.0

    Triple threat! (Our typical order) carne guisada with cheese, barbacoa, chorizo and papa
    Erica V.

    Always a hearty and welcoming experience. You definitely get the biggest bang for your buck on everything on the menu! Texas taco staples and homemade style tortillas are hands down the best quality and the reason I'll never be skinny! The staff treats everyone like a regular and they keep calm even in the busiest times! The food is always consistent and goodness for the tummy!

    **For this review and more follow my insta @dish_360 The Good: I love Tommys I'm a big fan of their carne guisada with cheese. If you're looking for a soup their menudo is a good choice too.Serving sizes are normally pretty generous and they've recently completed renovations to offer more spacious accommodations. . The Bad: We tried the lengua and I wasn't in love with it. The sauce didn't have much flavor to offer. In all fairness, it's the only thing I've eaten there that I didn't enjoy. I've been here several times and on occasion food gets served colder than it should be. It's always rectified but those inconsistencies keep it from being a 5 for me. Not to be picky but when you're hangry and you have to wait to get your stuff warmed or remade it kinda hurts The Aftermath: I love super complex meals but it's nice to have familiar comfort food from time to time. If you enjoy tacos I highly recommend this place. The servers are typically very friendly and the food is great. Expect to leave FULL. **For this review and more follow my insta @dish_360

    juevos rancheros (scrambled) with a side of carne guisada.  Note: I added the pepper; it didn't come that way.
    Joseph E.

    Tommy's is one of my favorite go to Tex-Mex restaurants in town. Their food is solid from top to bottom and hey, who doesn't like barbacoa and big red. On this occasion, I stopped in for breakfast and ordered the juevos rancheros (scrambled) with a side of carne guisada and corn tortillas. The order came out fairly quickly and looked appetizing. The eggs were scrambled nicely, the ranchero sauce was zesty, the potatoes were nice and crispy and the beans were seasoned well. The corn tortillas that came with the order were larger and thicker than most. It would be nice if they were a little bit thinner but that's just me. Our server was attentive and friendly and since we beat the morning rush we made it in and out in about 30 minutes. Needless to say, I'll be back to Tommy's and I do recommend this place to anyone craving some good Tex-Mex. Please note: the picture I attached shows the pepper I added after it was served to me. It was not brought out of the kitchen that way and I didn't want anyone to assume they use that much pepper. It is just my personal preference.

    Nice interior.

Thankfully the hosts found me and my party a table. Our server was bright, communicative, and genuinely attentive. The grits blew my mind with it's rich butter and creamy texture while still have the grain texture. The fried tomatoes were met with a cornmeal fried crispy crunch and a juicy almost like it was marinated in lemon juice for a bit. The bacon was pretty good like a thick chunky sweet bacon strip. I personally like it a bit thinner and more crispy. I like that they offer orange juice and mango juice. My 2nd visit I knew better to get a reservation but it was completely booked when I looked to make a reservation the morning of. It was a Saturday morning. I walked in hoping anyways at 11am. They surprisingly had seats available outside this Texas summer lol. The meat pies were okay a little too greasy. I may be biased on Irish pub style meat pies. The nachos with boudin sauce and a lemon sour cream was out of this world with flavor. It what bean dip wishes it could be. I was so full I couldn't finish it, but I went for that dip. Our server cést comme ci comme ca this time. It like she was just there to get through the day that barely started. I was served a dirty water glass with a lipstick stain on it. My server rarely came by and I had to ask another server to help. Honestly I only tipped the girl server out of manners. I would not accept her as my server ever again.

I had my family join me for brunch, and unfortunately, it left us with questions. The biggest question was, "Where was the favor?" I knew I wouldn't like the chicory coffee, yet there was another option available that I enjoyed more that was a decaf. The child's plate was one of the worst kid's meal values I've seen in a while. It was $10 for one tender and a beignet. The tender was small and left my child wanting more, so I paid $7 for an extra tender. Please consider a plate that has two tenders and fruit or potatoes for older kids since this was sized for a toddler. The $10 Doggy Meal looked like it could have provided that option since it came with grilled chicken, sweet potato, and steamed rice. The adult plates had enough food for an actual meal, so we shared our plates with my child who only wanted more chicken and potatoes at that point. The Bayou BLT was okay, yet nothing to rave about. My husband wasn't impressed with the Blue Crab Omelette, and my aunt said her Catfish St. Charles was very bland. We all had an order of beignets that were tough and chewy. My husband and I have had freshly baked and powdered beignets at Cafe Du Moude, so these tiny versions were a tough sell. What did have flavor? The Bananas Foster pancakes, which was the better dessert option. While the restaurant itself was cute, expect table service to be long. We constantly waited for waitstaff to return to refill coffee, bring napkins, or furnish a needed utensil. Also, the parking will be tight. We were lucky to get spots adjacent to the restaurant rather than offsite, yet you will be watched like a hawk when you attempt to leave. People want those spots. If you want the feel of brunch with okay-ish food at expensive prices, come to NOLA the restaurant. If you're expecting to relive the actual taste of NOLA the city, start booking your next getaway for the real deal.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!
