Food is always super yummy and service is spot on. It can get a little crowded (and loud) at times, but honestly it isn't bad. You can always order to go if the noise gets to you. read more

Don't let the modest exterior fool you--Appetitos is an absolute treasure. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with a warm, bright, and welcoming atmosphere that instantly lifts your mood. It's clean, cheerful, and has that fresh, friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. Now, let's talk food. The breakfast tacos? Next level. They have a huge variety to choose from, and every single one is packed with flavor. Whether you're into classic bacon and egg or something more adventurous, they've got you covered. But the real standout for me was the Barbacoa plate--incredible value and absolutely delicious. The meat is tender and flavorful, and it comes with all the fixings. And do yourself a favor: order extra tortillas. They're so fresh, soft, and just the right amount of chewy--you'll be mopping up every last bite with them. I came in hungry and left already planning my next visit. Appetitos is one of those places you'll want to keep coming back to again and again. A true local gem! read more

Here's a polished rephrasing that keeps the positive tone and reads smoothly: This is one of the best restaurants in San Antonio. Parking is not an issue--while the main lot is reserved for handicap parking, there is additional parking available across the bridge. I have visited several times and tried at least five or six different dishes, all of which have been consistently excellent. The customer service is outstanding; the servers are friendly, engaging, and clearly enjoy what they do. It's truly a hidden gem in San Antonio. read more

Apetitos Mexican Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Decided to stop by since I saw their $1 bean and cheese special and i kind of regret doing so. The food was mostly decent. I ordered a puffy taco plate and the chicken was very bland and the taco falling apart. Rice was also dry and the beans were decent. Overall the dish was okay. The flour tortillas had a plastic texture and didn't feel very homemade. The salsa and small appetizer soup they gave me were good enough. The place has nice decor but lacked atmosphere. Now the three stars is mostly due to the poor service. Our server Peter was very friendly but lacked attentiveness. Empty drinks, dirty plates and lack of napkins throughout our entire visit really ruined our experience. I came here a couple of times as a child and now I understand why my parents never came back here. If I'm being honest I did order a dish that is complicated to make and eat which did lead to me having some issues I mentioned. This place is super affordable if you order the right things. Me and my partner only paid $23 so I'd say it's kind of worth coming here if you're on a budget. Sadly not somewhere I'd come back to. read more

I've been coming to Apetitos for years. The service and atmosphere have always been great! Today I went through the drive thru and placed my order. I was greeted right away by the waitress who took my order over the intercom and then proceeded to have me drive forward. I ordered 2 tacos and a drink that was just over $10. This is somewhat pricey considering what you get. My order was received a few minutes later. The tortilla was a thin compared to last visits but the taco was pretty stuffed. The tortillas used to be fluffy and larger so I'm not sure if it's a new cook or new recipe. Either way I'll be back when I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Excellent service Food it is delicious Great price Very comfortable and the ambience is amazing read more

WARNING ! Absolute scam. I paid $14.03 for three tacos. THREE ! I ordered a barbacoa, bacon n egg and a bean n chz add bacon. There is no way this should've been this much. I understand why it was empty when I arrived in a Sunday morning at 10:40am. Everyone is somewhere else. When u drive up the drive thru menu has a tarp on it. I can see why now. Barbacoa was above average and the other two were ok at best. Neither salsa had any heat. Wow. read more

Food is delicious. Outstanding homemade tortillas flour and corn prices are reasonable wonderful waitress and waiters. Please try this restaurant. They treat you real. Nice service is wonderful. Thank you read more

Was so excited to go back for re opening of the dine Inn. The food is still good and the service was great. Unfortunately, though way way over priced. THEY WERE ALREADY OVER PRICED PRE-COVID. We ordered 2 porkchop plates. 3 tacos, 2 bacon and egg, and one country and egg. Side of salsa. 3 coffees to drink. 58.00 DOLLARS. I couldn't believe it. That's dinner pricing!! There are way too many restaurants in the immediate area that are just as good and for way cheaper. Dos hermanos has 3 tacos for 3.50, and you can mix them!I'm just saying wish they were more realistic with prices. Won't be returning any time soon. read more

Every time I go the food is so good and always consistent. The staff is super friendly and very observant of their customers. Two thumbs up. read more

Food was overpriced, not worth the $60 they charged for three plates, and three drinks food was under cooked and cold and cashier was rude, when asked what we were charged for he looked the other way I recommend not eating at this place. read more

Food is delicious and everyone is so friendly! This used to be a favorite place of my mom's so when they were closed after Covid it broke my heart. So happy to see them open again! read more

Every time I come here the food is always good and comes out fast the staff are super friendly as well 8/10 restaurant

Way to expensive. You can find more affordable options on marbach like Gilbert's or Los compadres.

Love Apetitos.. Awesome food, service is spot on and it's just a friendly, clean family owned restaurant. It's near a military base and they serve you quickly that it gets our servicemen in and out on their one hour lunch. Had to close during Covid but all their faithful, regular customers were lost without them so they are back open better than ever. read more

Absolutely delicious! Make sure you order a side of their pancakes...it's totally worth it. We had their carne guisada and steak street tacos and they were both amazing! Even the soup they provide as an appetizer is yummy. We were greeted with smiling faces and the service is impeccable! read more

Would have loved to try this place but they are closed to dine in. Not mention the drive thru looked completely closed. It has a open sign but it's curbside only. Didn't realize the most recent reviews of this place has this place as over priced. Leaving the review because super upset that this even comes up as a listed place to eat. Beware. Don't waste your time. read more

Would give a 6 star review if I could. First, the service is absolutely amazing. Our server Anna was super attentive and so nice. I ordered the Sabor A Mexico plate. Comes with chileqiles , barbacoa, and mexican potatoes. I have never been a barbacoa fan but our server brought us a small sample and I absolutely loved it. This barbacoa was not greasy at all and had such a great flavor. To top it off they serve koolaid. Amazing food and even better service. Give this spot a try!!!! read more

Overpriced Mexican food restaurant whose time has come since 1990. I wouldn't have minded if the quality of the food was better, but this time it wasn't. It says they are hiring obviously for a cook. $5 for a barbacoa taco, buy 2 and a big red and you would have paid enough for a pound with a dozen torts, and sauce at Culebra market. The manager tried to convince us that he was giving us a break at the register, when I mention the quality of the food, he didn't even apologize. I checked the receipt to see if he charged me for that too. This place used to be seating room only, not anymore. Start your day the right way and avoid this place. read more

I went on a Sunday with my mother but to our surprise it was closed. Only open for drive thru and curbside pickup. Placed has changed a lot. I was expecting to sit down and have a nice breakfast. read more

Re-opened recently, not worth the $20 I paid for a Mexican Plate. The Mexican rice was watery and tasted funny. I would write more but I'm making my 3rd trip to the bathroom because of this food read more

The breakfast here is fantastic. I usually get the chulaquiles, which are amazing. I can also recommend the barbacoa or the pancakes. The freshly made flour tortillas are some of the best I've had. Even when it's busy, the wait is never that long. read more

I was very disappointed in my food, I was there on my lunch break so I didn't have time to return the plate. The eggs and potatoes were so runny, I have no idea what the food actually tasted like. Wish my food looked like the pictures they have posted. I won't be going back. read more

Caldo de Pollo was very filling and the rice was so fluffy and flavorful! I got the small and was so full I didn't finish it. The gravy sauce for the enchiladas was also very good and my daughter loved the homemade tortillas. They were pretty packed but service was fast and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will be back next time I'm in San Antonio. read more

This place have very good authentic Mexican dishes. However, they still only open for curbside pick up still up till now.

This place has been closed for dine in since Covid and never reopened (so take out only). Their prices have gotten ridiculous. We paid $36 for 6 tacos and a coffee. It's too overpriced so we don't eat here as often. There are many nearby Mexican restaurants that are open for dine in and are cheaper. We bought 4 carne guisada with cheese tacos, 1 barbacoa taco, and 1 potato and egg taco. The special tacos like carne guisada and barbacoa are $6 each. The potato and egg was $3. read more

I enjoy this place so much but I'm so upset every time we make the drive out here it's closed for dine in. Please open the dining area again we miss going for breakfast and lunch read more

First time here, I boldly made the decision to give this place a solid 5 stars. The food was damn good and exactly what I wanted on a San Antonio Saturday Morning. I got the pork chop plate and man were those things good and flavorful. The tortillas were nice and fluffy and hot and the tea was fresh and cold. I tried some of the bacon my guy had on his plate, that was good too. The Big Red in those big plastic to-go cups hit the spot! It was a bit of a wait as they were really busy and the prices were a few dollars more than you would see most other "taqueria" type places but still worth it. I can't wait to go back there and it's not even on my side of town. read more

We came in for a breakfast around 8 am on a Tuesday morning. My mother and I visited about 3 hours chit-chatting as we ate and had coffee. The decor was very pretty, a lot of natural lighting. Very clean. They received a great health score that is posted next to the checkout counter. The service was good. A little slow on refills but she was busy with other tables. So we understood. When we made eye contact with her, she would come immediately after she was finishing with her previous tables. The food came out really fast. It was so good that I forgot to take a picture of the food. We shared a Gringo plate ( 2 eggs and pancakes) and we both later ordered a taco. FYI - the tacos are a really good size! If I knew they were that big I wouldn't have ordered one! Haha The ONLY complaint I have is that this is a decent size restaurant with only 1 bathroom for women and 1 bathroom for men. I waited several minutes before I could use the restroom on a slow Tuesday morning. I hate to see the line on a busy weekend. I plan to come back again! Also I plan to take more pictures of the food next time!! read more

This place is hands down the best place for tacos and any kind of plate you can think of. I've been coming to this place for 25 years and the quality of food and customer service is always incredible. Too many people talking about they had better or to go to some taquerias here in SA. Newsflash, taquerias here are a joke and most of them barely pass the health inspection, and if you think that food is better, then you probably wouldn't know the difference between dirt and crap. Needless to say, this place has it all. Good food, fast and friendly service, good prices, clean and nice environment. Definitely come here (: read more

Caldo de Res was not so good and not so hot either(temperature warm). The rice was not a pleaser... stale chips, salsa and the conch soup was good :) read more

I'm thrilled this place reopened post fire! I've had many decent meals with people I care a lot about at this restaurant. It's not the best Mexican food in town, but it's good always. The service is friendly and efficient. The tortillas are like Abuelitas. Breakfast is a winner. Love the charro beans, and the caldo is tasty. The remodel is well done, but I'm not a fan of the reserve parking for police. Yeah, I know this place is known for that.. .just think it's unnecessary. Make the trip tho....feels like home. read more

Apetitos Mexican Restaurant - Huevos rancheros - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I've only had the pleasure of dining here twice, but both times have been nothing less than superb! I had breakfast the first time, and lunch the second. Granted...this is SA, and you can't swing a yo-yo without hitting one, but this is one of the best this city has to offer. The pancakes are better than iHop...YES...I said it...better than iHop. Now, if you feel like stuffing your face with 10,000 g of carbs, go to iHop for their endless plate of flour disks, BUT if you want flavorful, fluffy, and oh-so-good buttery goodness...take the trip to Apetito's! I had their enchilada and fajita plate for lunch the other day. Their corn tortillas are some of the best I've EVAR had, and their chicken is cooked to absolute clucky perfection. No disrespecting the mighty feathered friend here. The service? Well, you never have to wait or want for anything...these folks are on top of their game, and according to my friend, the owner wouldn't have it any other way! Go enough times, and they'll get to know you. That's how infrequent they change staff. Certainly, that's got to mean something in today's world. read more

I LOVE this place. The taco's are wonderful and over stuffed. Very nice and attentive wait staff. I haven't tried any of their plate dishes yet but I'm planning to. Only draw back they have.... limited parking and seating.... even after they expanded both. LOL Just shows how busy they always are! read more

Food was good. My son loved the bacon and eggs. Enchiladas are good. First waitress seemed offended that I asked for a glass of ice, forgot so I had to remind her and then all of a sudden she wasn't our waitress anymore. What I am assuming is the owner was not very nice. Seemed as I was a bother asking him to break a $100 bill. I asked if he could and did not insist. He said he could. He assumed I needed no ones so I asked him for ones and he gave them to me quite rudely. Never gave me a receipt nor thanked us for coming. Sad because the food is good, being in hospitality myself this means too much to me so I won't be back. read more

I really love this place wish it was closer to my house but I would still make the drive for this amazing food. Customer service is always so good and the food you can't go wrong. Definitely a hidden gem for sure. read more

Whole lot better mexican restaurants in the area. I thought it was over priced by about 20%. I do not like eating and drinking off of plastic plates and coffee cups. I do not like my bacon fried in a deep fryer either. Sure it's crispy bacon but it curled up into a little ball. It was nearly $3 for 3 little balls of bacon. Had to ask repeatedly for coffee refills. Food quality was nothing spectacular by a long shot. Refried beans were a little bland, the fried potatoes were a little under cooked. The scrambled eggs were over cooked. Tortillas were very good. For a bean and cheese taco, go for it. For a good breakfast meal, rethink this place. Like I said, not bad, not great a tad over priced. i was impressed by how clean and new the restaurant was. read more

This is very good place to eat a Tex-Mex breakfast! They serve breakfast ALL DAY, keep in mid that they close at 3pm. The tortillas are HOMEMADE! That is a BIG PLUS! Enchiladas, Barbacoa or Pancakes you cant go wrong here! read more

Came here for breakfast tacos with my family. The restaurant is beautiful, definitely an upgrade. The servers were very attentive which was awesome. We all had sweet tea which was a bit under sweetened for me. No big deal. We each had a bean and cheese taco we all agreed the beans didn't have flavor. My chorizo and papa taco was really good. My sisters asada taco also had No flavor to it, unfortunately the same outcome for the bacon and egg taco. Can't say I would go back. read more
