First time stopping in today and I was very pleased with the true old school atmosphere!
When you’re in line to order tacos you can see the ladies making fresh tortillas! Great service and very efficient!
The donuts are wonderful too! I’m so glad I stopped in while I was in the area!
Heads up on the parking- it’s one way in coming off of Fredericksburg Road. I found that out the hard way by coming in the wrong entrance with my large pickup truck and having to turn around to get properly parked before going inside.
This place is busy- I advise ordering ahead during busier times.

This is my new favorite breakfast taco place in San Antonio! We live close by and always see long lines here. Now I know why. The food is great and the service was good, too! The donuts remind me of a beloved donut shop back home. We'll definitely be back!

Breakfast tacos are flavorful and big. Bean, egg and cheese is my go to when trying a new place and these guys delivered. Papas rancheros also has great flavor. The salsa is very good with just the right amount of spice. Great experience and will definitely return.

Amazing & consistent Service for decades. Beautiful Staff with Quick Service Amongst Busy Times of Day. This is my favorite restaurant in whole city. I Never tire of eating here. Very clean Dining Area. Great Selection of Freshly made Donuts, and Full Breakfast/Plate/Entree Menu. SOME CUSTOMERS selfishly by full trays of donuts so get there early. However the staff always aims to serve EVERY single person, no matter what, 7 days a week. Food till 2pm, Donuts until sell out, CREDIT/DEBIT Accepted. Please come with Respect towards these Women & Men. You will enjoy your meals & Pastries. I am glad they only have one location, allowing focus on quality control. 100% recommend. I do not leave a review unless a place has earned it.

Last stop in San Antonio before heading back home and I LOVE THIS PLACE. My weak spot are donuts and tacos and this place had BOTH. Breakfast tacos (chorizo/egg, bean/cheese/bacon), chalupa were PHENOMENAL. Highly highly recommend. Such a good vibe inside. Busy yet still organized with efficient staff (not the friendliest but get the job done well). I am definitely coming back here next time. Also it was only 15 dollars total so CHEAP.

Really good tacos. We had the carne guisada, bean and cheese, papas rancheras. It was very good, the taco salsa was very good as well. I noticed a lot of people were getting there tacos toasted so that might be the plan next time I’m here. The doughnuts were fresh and well made. The red one and the apple fritter was my favorite. The line was nuts though. Cars lined up down the street, and inside was lined from register to door the entire time I was there (Sunday 9am).

Well, google did its job . Search breakfast tacos and this hidden hole in the wall popped up . But it’s not a taco place is a donut shop as well
So worth it, delicious but the best thing super FRESH
Keep up the great work , don’t lose the yummy touch

Bean and cheese on a corn tortilla. Picadillo taco on a flour tortilla. Potato egg and bacon on a flower tortilla. Tell me when to stop LOL. And should I get started on the donuts? I like them all but man those classic basic glazed donuts, especially when they come right out of the oven, if they don't change your life- they will definitely add another dimension to it. A welcomed one yum.

Best breakfast in San Antonio, hands down. You can get in the taco/plate line on the left or the donut line on the right. The breakfast tacos are awesome. The migas plate was slightly greasy, but the refried beans are amazing, salsa is tasty, and the back porch is a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning. It’s crowded but not too much.
Stephanie Contreras
So the tortilla is thicker than what I'm used to, but it was super fluffy. I had to run a few errands before I could sit and eat these, so I thought the tortilla would be soggy, but it tasted fresh and hot.
I ordered Carne guisada, and it was tasty. I wish it could have been slightly spicy, but that's why they gave me salsa, which didn't pack much heat. It wasn't anything amazing, but it was good and definitely worth the money. It's also good portions of stuffing in the tacos. I ordered two but I'm sure I can only finish one.

Had been wanting to try this place for a while. Such a bustling place on a cold rainy morning! People lined up at the counter waiting to order, picking up to go, busy drive-thru window, separate doughnut counter line, homemade tortillas flipping...there's A LOT going on! I managed to order doughnuts and tacos on the doughnut side, while also having them pick out a mixed dozen. Have to say the doughnut counter girl was extremely friendly regardless of the orders being yelled across the place. She did forget to make my dozen as I went to pick up tacos (READY REALLY FAST!) but quickly apologized and loaded them up. I'd like to return to try other breakfast items. Other than the doughnuts, I think the big draw here are the tortillas. I know everyone has their style of flour tortillas, but as impressive as they look, I found them a little too dense for my liking. It's good, don't get me wrong, just a tad too thick and dense, especially if you want more than one. The fillings were just a'ight ...my potato & egg needed a bit more potato, and the guisado was on par with others I've had elsewhere. Still, the old-school atmosphere and friendliness definitely makes me want to return for another visit! 😀 They doughnuts rocked!

I hadn't been here since the pre pandemic days. I wasn't impressed during my 1st visit. So I decided to give them a 2nd chance. I walked in and grabbed a bean, cheese & bacon Taco, TO-GO. The beans were freshly made, and I got lucky. The beans were a bit salty but overall tasty. The flour tortillas were freshly made and soft! The thick cut bacon was delicious. Most of the food handlers are older women, so expect your order to be a bit slow and perhaps with a few mistakes. They do hustle, though. Needless to say, I enjoyed my experience today, and I'll be coming back again for more tacos and donuts. Come check them out for yourself!

It was the breakfast tacos for me!
Made a quick visit to San Antonio in order to evacuate for Hurricane Laura and ate at this place twice for breakfast. There was a good size drive thru line both times I went.
I really appreciate their online order/pick up option. Prices were decent and the food was good, not greasy. The key ingredient to breakfast tacos is the hot sauce if you ask me, and theirs was on point!
To me the donuts were okay, they weren't great. But then again I ate around 11:30 so maybe got the leftovers...? I'll give them another try when I am around.
**Their curbside service didn't seem too effective. I ordered online and then text the number once I arrived and never got a response or my food. I had to pull in at the front of the building and shortly after someone came up to my car asking if I had an order. Was irritated about this at first considering the time I waited, but was quickly soothed by their breakfast tacos and had a better experience the next time I went.

By far some of the best breakfast tacos that I have had. Weekends are crazy busy here so make sure you get there early so you’re not in line too long. For the price, you definitely can’t beat it and the food is amazing. What’s even better is that you have the option of getting tacos or donuts all within the same shop.
Yvette Mendez
I have been coming here pretty much all my life. So lucky its like 2 blocks from my house. I recommend the carne guisada tacos with cheese. OMG best tacos in town. I also love the potato and egg with bacon and cheese combo taco. They have the best tacos in town for sure. Fresh homemade tortillas in both corn and flour. Love this place.
Beau Daniel De Clercq
Incredible tacos with excellent portion size as well. This place is well worth whatever wait you have to go through!
Mona Casias
This place was so yum! There were a few inpatient people when we were in the line but they left and missed out. They are super fast! They can’t help they are so good and firm a line. The tortillas are the best especially when toasted! The patios were perfect and most of all the Donuts were amazing! Can’t wait to go back !
Danielle Resseguie
The carne guisada breakfast taco was AMAZING. I had the best apple fritter I've had in two years. (Been searching for one since a visit to a gourmet donut shop in San Diego in Jan 2015.) Highly recommend!
Vickie Velasquez
My mom used to bring me here as a kid. Back then it was just a donut shop. Tacos are very good and the donut was amazing! The only drawback is the cash only policy and the area for ordering is very unorganized but well worth the minor annoyance. If it weren't so far from where I live, I would definitely go more regularly.

I grew up in the neighborhood and have been going there for over 40 years. Always a pleasant visit.
Today as the lady handed me my coffee and donuts she spilled some coffee on the inside of my door panel, my lap, and my window.
When i asked her for some napkins to clean up her mess she actually took 4 minutes to do so.
I love this place !
You absolutely need better costumer service !!
She was working the taco window.
The manager tells me that the lady at the window is very nice.
The woman did NOT apologize and was very rude.
The manager seemed to be clueless !

Bertha Mata
Great food and awesome donuts!!!! Cash only, but a great experience anyway. Will go back and we recommend you going there!
Michael Mata
Great tacos and awesome donuts. Staff was really great. Cash only sucks, but its worth the trip. Ill be going back!
Chris Melton
Good food but the layout needs to be thought about since when you are waiting in line to order, others have to cut thru the line to get their orders and drinks.
J Denise Arredondo-Ramirez
Omg this place was amazing ...can u deliver to ft worth or ship if I place an order lol
Billie Beavers Hunt
Should be open 24 hours. Many cities have 24 donut shops serving the late nighters and early morning. San Antonio has nothing like that. We have looked.
Debra Arriaga
The donuts are the best food is great as well
