Lula’s Mexican Cafe has a small town cafe feel even though it’s located in downtown San Antonio. Traditional, delicious Tex-Mex breakfast and lunch at a bargain price.

The Poco de Todo plate was very good!
Being downtown, parking is always an issue. But, if you are downtown in the morning, I would definitely recommend this spot.

9-9-22. Daily Specials greet you as you walk in, a cool indoor retreat on a hot day! Repeat customers. We instantly were offered freshly made chips & salsa, tall glasses iced water while perusing the menu. . Prices are inexpensive, wheelchair & family friendly, homestyle, small square tables with well padded comfy chairs. A total of $15.00 for 2 lunches.
My husband ordered a Beef Puffy Taco beans & rice. Taco was overflowung with beef & veggies topped with dollop of sour cream & 2 Tbsp fresh Guacamole, he said delicious! I ordered a Beef Enchilada-presented in a red tortilla with beans, rice & fresh off the grill tortilla!
Beef on their menu refers to ground beef.
Inexpensive, worth the walk from The Pearl, Riverwalk, El Mercado & Marketplace - an easy15-20 min walk.
Our waitress & daughter work here, maybe Lula's is family owned + run?

Fast, delicious, inexpensive and clean place. No frills. The staff is friendly and fast. The bldg is beautiful example of historic San Antonio. The access to surrounding hotels where you get gouged for breakfast of some muffins and Coffee and swanky river view.

I was craving some food downtown. I walked upon Lula's and thought I would try the cheese enchiladas. Before my plate came out they brought chips and salsa and it was really really good. My enchilada plate was decent but I would have liked more cheese inside the enchiladas. I gave 4 stars overall for the price and the really good chips and salsa. Next time I will try a different plate.

Amazing food at a great price, but sometimes they don't offer chips and salsa to go before 11am

After reading the reviews I decided it was probably worth the 20 minute walk and Lula’s did not disappoint. The puffy taco was hands down the best taco I’ve ever had. My waitress, Sunshine, was super sweet. When I’m back in San Antonio I will he coming back!

Fantastic authentic Mexican breakfast! Fast, polite service, and cheaper than Waffle House! Would be a great deal at twice the price and is a short walk from anywhere on the River Walk!

Totally a corner restaurant geared for local companies, I snuck in and found the food to be very good. That said, while the service was okay at the table, they totally missed the mark when checking out. I waited next to the checkout 5 mins at lunch time. Just stood there... Very odd. That almost made me not want to come back as they saw me there but didn't make an effort. Maybe this is a local thing...
