“ This is one of my go to take out options! Their Tortilla Soup is fantastic and easily feeds my wife and me. The broth has wonderful depth of flavor. Plenty of chicken and generous sides. I've eaten in once and it was fine, but I love them for the soup. It's a great value too! ”
“ We came here this morning and ordered a couple bowls of Menudo. Their Menudo comes with pig foot in it and it comes with all the sides like jalapeños, cilantro, onion, and the best buttery homemade flour tortillas. The waitresses are very nice and the restaurant is clean and what I like is its nice and quiet inside and not overly crowded if you're in the Austin Highway and Eisenhower area definitely stop by and check this place out. I've had their lunch plates before and they're just as delicious as everything else. ”
“ I found this place while searching for something nearby. My son was hungry and works nearby. Placed a phone order for 6 tacos - 1 chorizo egg, 1 potato egg, 2 potato bacon egg, 2 bacon egg cheese....all for $13.71 anyplace else I've placed a similar order would be at least $10 more. I dropped off the bec tacos to my son. I ate the chorizo egg. OMG, super yummy!! Fresh tortilla and just the right amount of chorizo grease dripping!! I glanced at the menu and will be planning a breakfast trip with my mom soon. ”
“ Brought one of my safety managers here for lunch today. We were both first timers but we won't be last timers. Great menu selection, great service, and great food are all reasons to return. He had the enchilada plate which he enjoyed very much, and I had the barbacoa plate which I enjoyed very much. Worthy of a bookmark and a try if you're passing through, or if you live or work near-by. ”
“ I have been trying to go here for years. Really. Something always came up preventing it happening. Well, I finally got to go for a late lunch. I had gone to three other establishments before going here. They are open until 2200. So, for a late eater like myself, it's perfect. I was indecisive when I went, so I asked the waitress what her favorite meal was, & told her I can't eat much. She recommended the cheese enchilada plate, either the regular or the child's plate. I went with the regular, knowing I'd only eat the enchiladas. It comes with a crispy beef taco, three enchilads, a little lettuce & tomato slice, beans & rice, with tortillas. I ate the little salad & enchiladas. That filled me up. I made bean tacos with the tortillas to take home. Now, the tortillas were not really that great. As a San Antonioan, I take pride in the tortillas in our town. These were not that good. They were actually hard. Still for take home bean tacos, they're meh. To drink I got horchatta. I'm sure like every other place around me, it's from a mix as it tasted just like others. You know when it's made fresh & when it's a mix. The plate is huge. It is truly two meals. If you eat this entire plate, it is easily over 2000 calories. No! That is too much food, unless you're running every single day. But, I will be back. The staff is very sweet, friendly & helpful with selections. I normally ask the staff for recommendations, unless I have a meal in mind. I have checked in twice, but the 1st one was during the peak of COVID & they weren't open. Discovered after I checked in. So, the deduction of one star was due to the tortillas. I'll change it next time, if deserving. ”
