I have lived in thy neighborhood for a very long time and can not recommend going anywhere else! The tacos are a very good size and filled with a good size portion. AND the tortillas are the best soft fresh ones you've had

I try to come here when I can when I am in San Antonio, they have the best breakfast tacos, The carne guisada is the best I've had next to my moms cooking. It's a small place needs more parking but it's worth it.

The Carne Guisada is some of the best I've had in San Antonio, of course Carne G is always compared to what we ate coming from my mothers kitchen.....

This is a hidden gem! If you like great carne guisada , look no further. The enchiladas verdes had fantastic flavor, the rice and beans were also so fresh and flavorful. The homemade tortillas are great as is the quick and friendly service. Some of the Mexican food in San Antonio and that is saying something!

Rafa's Scores!. Breakfast brings in the neighborhood crowd to this old house now restaurant. The tortillas are homemade and fresh and the fillings from picadillo to bacon and egg are solid choices.

The place is a bit divey, but that just lends to the legitimacy of the food and the feeling that you are visiting someone's reunion with all the families and folks that seem to know each other.

Health inspection shows only 5 demerits in its last inspection - an excellent score.

Outstanding Breakfast!. This is one of my favorite taquerias. The tacos are some of the best around, but the chiliquiles plate is my favorite. Absolutely delicious! Definitely had to include them on my guide of the best taquerias in town!

Been coming here since I was a kid with my family, always consistent , they have American cheese and the tacos are my favorite. I always get the rafas plate but everything is good. Will always come back. Gets packed on weekends or Sundays

Stephanie Rivas Contreras

Tacos are always delicious! Service fast and friendly!

We ordered French fries and crepes with fruits. The crepes come with bananas, canned peach, whipping cream and chocolate sauce. The French fries were crunchy. We enjoyed both. The cappuccino was also delicious. I did not enjoyed the tea infusion as it was not filtered and too sweet. Yet the rest was good.

I have been craving tortilla soup and I haven't been to this location in years. The tortilla soup was just as good as I remembered. Lots of cheese and chicken. I asked for my avocado on the side. I'm happy to know this place has not changed. It's so good and I can't wait to come back. Next time I will get the carne guisada plate. That was always my favorite 😍

Aldo Garcia

One of the best caldo de pollo I’ve ever had!! Just don’t tell my momma 🤣🤣🤣

Rolando Aguirre

Great portions, great prices. Parts of the inside need remodeling the front parking area needs remodeling as there’s a huge crack in front, I can’t imagine someone disabled getting unloaded from the car and having an accident happen there. HVAC is on point.

Lisa Posada-Soto

This place has really good tex-mex. it’s always packed the parking is limited but again food is soooo good. I really like this place but sometimes the service can get frustrating. There’s a language barrier which is fine anyone can get through it because the menu has pictures. But the wait staff and cashier tend to have a bit of bad attitudes. Most my reviews are always positive and 5 stars but I do have to remove one for the consistency of annoyance type attitude that comes from staff. 😬 I’m hoping it something that can improve because the food is good!

P. Valdez

Great Food and wait staff was very attentive. Ordered a taco plate and bean and cheese nachos. It was sooo good!

Rick O

Love this place haven't been here in 4 years and the food is still very good. Had the fajitas plate it was good. The corn tortillas are homemade, and the hot sauce has a nice flavor. The service was nice and friendly.

Kim

I'm new in town and wanted to have a quick lunch, got recommended to come here by a local. I really liked the seasoning of rice and chicken in my tacos, puffy tacos were also tasty after soaking up the juice from the chicken. I will come again.
