Where do I start. My family has been going to Mary Lou's for many years. The best tortillas anywhere. Family recipe that can't be beat. The carne guisada is so tender. Enchiladas are delicious. Breakfast , lunch , or dinner. This place is just fabulous food. You can go spend your money on the big names throughout San Antonio but the quality of the food doesn't come close to what you will get here. They serve margaritas and other beverages. I love the Southside location but they also have another on McCullough. Same quality of food at both locations. They are just that good they had to expand. The service is just as good as the food. You won't regret it and you will become a regular customer too.

Been going to this restaurant for years and years; way back when it was called Mary Lou's. Things have changed - first of all the menudo; Mary Lou's was the only place we would eat menudo from, but recently, Mary Lucas started using honeycomb menudo and it is gross. So we have not ordered menudo in several months. I might suggest to just cook menudo with menudo, NO honeycomb. Second of all we work right across the street from Mary Lucas. Often we are unable to get away from our desk and often we have asked if Mary Lucas will deliver as we are simply across the street and the answer was no and continues to be no. So they will loose customers. They should really consider delivery, at least to businesses across the street from their location.

The staff is polite, the carne guisada tacos are great. Easy to park parking lot. No waiting. Seated right away. Tortillas were too soft and rawish but ok when you have dryer food in them otherwise too soggy. Chicharron tacos way too 🔥 hot.

Love this place! The greatest service and amazing food! Very, small-town kind of feel. The staff is very personal and so respectful. My dad lives not even a block away so we are always eating there. They call us by our names and know which plates, salsas and drinks we like. Great, great staff.
