9 Best mexican restaurant in San Antonio, Texas (TX) 2024

I love the food here. It’s easy to miss since it is on 1604 and driving at 60mph it can go unseen. Once you get to try their chip sauce you’ll be fascinated. My all time favorite is the quesadilla plate. The portions are really good. Like everything else their prices have gone up but this is understandable. They are a small family owned Restaruant who are trying to stay a float. You can always expect for a family member to be there. The service is very friendly and polite. Today I got to experience how rude people could be to servers. There was a pair of women who returned some tacos because apparently they weren’t good. Then continued to order something else. The staff was nice enough to switch out the food but it turns out the ladies didn’t like the plate that was exchanged. At this point this just taking advantage because they decided they weren’t going to pay for the food because it was not touched. They never even tried the food. This was when the manager told them that she would do as asked but they would deny service to them in the future. Like the manager said “this is not a buffet”. Here they just didn’t loose on what the food cost, the electricity, gas, and time of the cook that were put into this were lost to. Please if you are going out to eat be nice and respectful. Just because they are in the Restaruant industry serving you doesn’t mean you can treat them like nothing and think you are not going to pay for what you asked for. Be conscious that we are ALL trying to make it out here in this planet called Earth. ~Laura

Not a regular at taco bell these days but as I'm sure y'all have heard, the Mexican pizza has returned. It was excellent. This location is clean and employees are friendly and courteous. ~Greg

First time eating at this restaurant. Ordered steak nachos. The nachos were chewy, not crispy. It had a pile of dry beans. They didn't put the sour cream or guacamole on the order as it was supposed to come with it. I had to feel my way through the mounds of beans to pull out the pieces of steak. Do not recommend this establishment. Save your money and go to a real Mexican restaurant, even if it is just to satisfy a quick craving...not worth it!!! ~Raven

First of all, i love the atmosphere and the beautiful decorations everywhere. It has a bar in the middle of it all. The food is delicious. I went twice for breakfast and for lunch and both plates were amazing and filled with delicious flavors. Great prices. The coffee was nice. The waiter, amazing and attentive to my needs. I really recommend this place if you want to catch a quick bite. I recommend the rancheros eggs and the meat stew. You gotta go here. And, the bathrooms are cleaned and neat. You will enjoy it here guaranteed. Parking: Plenty of parking, no problems ~Eugenio

This was a very good experience. Staff is extremely friendly and facility was clean. Employees were constantly out on the floor cleaning the eating area. Very impressive. First time @ this location we w/ definitely b returning. We were there to njoy some great mariachi music & good margaritas. Hats off to mangers for running such a good restaurant ~Armando

Thank you Taco Cabana! We had a celebration for 90 people and ordered the taco bar through the catering section of their site. Everything was PERFECT! The food was delicious, packed beautifully and ready on time. General Manager for the store, Tino, met us at pick-up, was so friendly and even helped us carry to the car. So thankful! ~Lisa

Overall, the service started out great, and than went downhill pretty quickly. The girl I had as a waitress must've had other duties as assigned because I saw her working the area I was seated. I used my Chili's Rewards and I cashed in on a free dessert. Most other Chili's, if you have the app will generally just give you a free bowl of chips because it doesn't cost them anything, and I was by myself. No free bowl of chips here. I then ordered the (3) for $10.99. It has a drink, an appetizer, and an entree. I had a tea, a bowl of chili ($1 upcharge), and the cajun chicken pasta. The portion on the main entree was more than generous and so was the portion for the bowl of chili. (They forgot to bring out the cheese and chips for it but that was a quick fix.) Overall, I had to chase em down for the one refill I got and that was it. They looked like they had a few staff members working. So I figured I would've had a refill readily available. I might come back as long as they weren't busy. And when I got here today they weren't that busy and they sat me close to the bar. I figured since that area was empty, I'd have a better chance at better service. 3 out of 5 stars. Features: Social Distancing guidelines are not in effect or enforced.

This was our second trip to La Perla. The plates are full of authentic Mexican flavorful food. The staff is friendly and conscientious of their patrons. Very helpful. They are also bilingual being able to assist everyone. The restaurant offers booths and tables in the main seating area. There is a sectioned off bar and dining area with a large TV. ~Blue

We waited here today for 27 minutes until we got our food. We ordered 4 tacos. Once it was brought to us, they forgot some of our order. I understand waiting if it was a restaurant but for fast food I would expect faster service. ~Tina
