Beto's Alt-mex

I had heard about the place from someone who used to live in the area... I was on the verge of hangry and didn't want to go anywhere else!! Fortunately we were seated ASAP. (In town for a short vacation) no wait on this Fri night... If you haven't been here it's worth waiting at least one time. There are many Mexican food spots in this area from checking the map but do yourself a favor - Go here - enjoy the atmosphere and food. The drinks looked to quench thirst... Dry January for me ... The empanadas are the bomb (if you like seasoning and I'm not talking salt and pepper "spices") I had the mouthwatering chicken empanada, also a pork Verde empanadas... And a chicken taco of some sort. Holy food coma it was tasty! The Peruvian rice and beans was a stellar compliment as I cured my starving with a finale ... The banana pecan leche empanada... All was very plentiful and filling. Get in here and get filled on the offers they provide!!!! Only knock was I don't carry much cash. No biggie. Cash discount... But I get it on the card game .. The girls had a blast afterwards when I promised when my daughters spotted the play area in the back. All in all it was a fantastic experience! Respectfully, Bryan - Oklahoma City

Beto’s Alt-Mex! New favorite brunch spot! Cute authentic decor and a seat yourself option. The Horchata was delicious. We ordered Beto’s Plates and some Pozole, with the option to have it as an appetizer. The pozole was so flavorful and hearty, tender chunks of pork, generous hominy. The empanadas were really good and the quesadillas were stuffed! Due to the large portions, this meal was literally breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We’ll be back to try out the other offerings…oh…and, Y’all…there’s a DRIVE-THRU!

Derrick makes the BEST Carne Asada Fries!!! I'm am sooooo blown away! Beto's took them off the menu years back, but this restaurant goes out of its way to please it's customers and will make them upon request. I called to ask Chris, the owner, if he could make them, but he wasn't at the restaurant. Derrick asked me if he could put his own special twist on the fries since he wasn't familiar with exactly how they were made on the old menu. I agreed and am soooo thankful that I did. Him offering to do that was so kind. I couldn't believe how much work he put into this one order for me. From the first bite to the last, it was pure bliss. Now let me tell you, I have tried Carne Asada fries all over the United States (Cali used to be my favorite place, but not anymore) and consider myself a major foodie. These were the best carne asada fries that I've EVER had. It was such a perfect balance of flavors! Thank you Derrick for going out of your way for me. You have set the bar to an unreachable level! (The picture just doesn't do them the justice they deserve, but still look AMAZING in the picture)

Five stars for the empanadas alone! I was very pleased with the entire meal, but the empanada really stood out to me. Flaky yet tender crust, and the filling was super flavorful. The grilled fish taco was great also, and it was really nice to have a hand made tortilla. Very impressed, and my coworkers and I plan on returning.

Came here on a pretty warm evening and wad delighted to have been sat inside although the outdoor seating is sooooo cute! Our waitress was great! Quickly served us waters and had patience while my husband took forever to decide what he wanted (he wanted it all). We both settled on ordering a create our own combo meal. I picked the chicken poblano empanada and the grilled fish taco. Both were soooo big that I had to take half my food home. The taco came with so much grilled fish which I appreciated. A side of ranchero beans and rice were included and honestly I could have also just eaten those sides by themselves. Highly recommend and will return! 5/5 customer service 5/5 food quality 5/5 recommend

I googled “Michelada” close by and this restaurant popped up. Given that I live in the area, I decided to stop by. I wish I had known about this place sooner!!! What a treat! The michelada was Amazing and I’m a pretty tough miche critic. The owner was on the floor and was extremely helpful as well as my waitress. He recommended their strawberry infused Jalapeño margarita (I was again skeptical on how this could taste). It actually tasted like a strawberry lemonade!! 🤤 Dangerous, I know. My meal consisted of the fish taco plate, a cup of pozole… perfect pozole btw. And a cup of the fideos and corn. Needless to say, I will most def be returning. Their open back patio is the perfect setting to bring and treat clientele.

Mexican cuisine in SATX has been redeemed, all hail the delightful staff and outstanding food being offered at Beto's. Salsa - they offer a red, green and diablo, all cooked and served warm. No easy feat in the salsa game, but they've got it down pat. Tacos de calle - Street tacos, check. While they don't offer my favorite, barbacoa, the carne asada was quite near perfection in taste and portion size. Sides - a generous portion of charro beans, which are normally a cheap after thought...not here. They actually season them and add a little imagination, add a little salsa and we'll let's just say your tongue gets real happy and your taste buds start the happy dance. Finally there's the blistered jalapeño that just makes you thank the food Gods for directing you here. In the midst of a plethora of so-so Mexican restaurants that have forgotten their mission, this place is a Gem. I might add that the decor alone is worth the trip. The take-out containers won't soak your seats and reminds you that someone cares about your experience. I was given a tour of the patio, because, well my Host said 'No, no, you have to see it', more than enough encouragement for me!
