Lala's Gorditas

Just as family remembered 30 years ago! Puffy tacos were tasty and not greasy at all, not as puffy today and more like folded gorditas. Bean rolls filled generously as always, they were greasy. Big turn off was the flies everywhere. Couldn't get away from them. Can't imagine how bad they are in summer.

If you remember Taco Hut, then Lala's Gorditas is the place for you! I grew up on Taco Hut and it is a core childhood Food memory. The food here is excellent and the service was very good. They have some covered seating but it is all outdoors. Parking is a premium, so you might have to park down the side street and walk, but that's OK it's worth it!

I was road tripping around Texas and was looking for some fantastic Tex Mex food. I saw this restaurant and it did not disappoint, in fact I’d say it’s the best Tex mex location in San Antonio, maybe even Texas. I had 4 puffy tacos, 3 beef and one chicken, and the taste was just indescribable, if I had to describe it I could only use the word perfect. Aside from the food the atmosphere felt authentic and had beautiful decorations. The service was probably the best part, one of the cooks was incredibly nice and even invited my family and I inside the kitchen to take a tour. He told us all about the family history of the restaurant and explained the process of making the corn tortillas and how they ‘puff’ them. I’d give this place six stars if I could.

Everything tested just like I remember. Definitely served up some nostalgia today. I would come here with my family back in the early 90s. Things were a little less expensive back then but the food is priced accurately in today's times. I ordered the special which consisted of 2 puffy tacos, 1 bean roll, 1 guacamole cup, 1 ice tea for $8/$9.99 (I can't remember) I will definitely be going back again!
