Went for my mom's birthday dinner this evening with the wife, and everything from the greeting coming through the door to the food and beverages was absolutely amazing! We usually go to a different taqueria on Tezel but wanted to try this place because they serve alcohol and it did not disappoint - highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in the area. Salsa 10/10, Fresh Tortillas 10/10

Nopales a la Mex are the best in San Antonio! They didn’t have corn tortillas this morning unfortunately. But I will be coming back! So many places either don’t have nopales or it’s slimy! Red Salsa was good too!! Thank you for your yummy tacos!

La Parrilla #1 is my go-to spot in San Antonio for an affordable, satisfying meal with generous portions and quick service. I’m not sure how many locations they have, but this one is close to my house and has become a regular stop for me. I always enjoy a cold horchata while I’m eating, never to-go, and it pairs perfectly with the food. Tuesdays are my favorite day to come by for the street taco plate, which is always loaded with flavor and a great value. La Parrilla #1 just gets it right every time.

Always can count on a good meal here. My #17 Soft chicken taco plate was very good and the guac was perfect(wish they brought tostada chips with the meal). I was pleasantly surprised that although the restaurant was full on a Sun at noon, it wasn’t too noisy and the service was quick and very friendly.

Always fast service. Reasonably priced and tasty food. We usually take drive through but the times we have eaten in the atmosphere is always good.
