My Wife's Son, Joe, came over to celebrate his birthday. He chose the Original Henry's Mexican…read moreRestaurant for this Lunch. On Thursday's, Henry's has their Steak Specials running from 11 am until 5 pm, so Steak for lunch sounds like a winner for us. When we arrived, I wasn't really surprised that there are a lot of cars/trucks in the parking lot. Walked in, was greeted by the Hostess, and shown to a table in the Main Dining area. Right away, the Chips & Salsa Lady came by with their Red Salsa, Bean Dip topped with Gravy, and those Fresh Warm Chips for us to enjoy. Right after that, our Server, Monica, stopped by and took our drink order while we looked over the menu, mainly their Thursday Steak Specials. Those Chips and Salsa, which is on the Hot side, are delicious, but I tend to lean toward the Bean Dip topped with Gravy. That is some really good stuff. When Monica returned with our drinks, we placed our order. Joe is having the "KC Steak"; About 16 ounces of Hand Cut Sirloin, requested medium. Served with Baked Potato or French Fries, chose French Fries. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. Nancy is having the same thing, but medium rare. I am going with the "Henry's New York Strip Steak"; About 14 ounces. Chose French Fries over the Baked Potato. Served with Frijoles Borracho's and a Salad. All Steaks are tenderized by the In-House-Butcher and seasoned accordingly. Traditional Kansas City-style Steaks are typically seasoned with a blend of Coarse Garlic Salt, Pepper, Coriander, and Chili Peppers. Henry's has other Steaks on their Thursday Specials; Besides the two kinds we ordered, they have "Spanish Steak"; About 14 ounces, with the same sides. The "Chicken Fried Steak"; Their CFS sits in a Cheese-Gravy and is one of the Best CFS's around. And they have the standard "Hamburger Steak"; topped with Brown Gravy & Onions. Right after Monica took our food order, she returned and with Fresh Warm Chips and more of the Red 'Hot' Salsa. That stuff warms you up from the inside out and is very tasty. We enjoyed those Chips and Dips, and then our Salads came out. I topped mine off with their Vinaigrette Dressing, my Wife chose Thousand Island, and I think Joe went with Ranch. Right after we finished the Delicious, Crisp and Flavorful Salads, our Steaks arrived. Henry's has always been pretty quick in serving their food, and the presentation is Spot-On. No matter what plate you order, it's always going to be a Beautiful Presentation. All three of our Steaks are glistening, and the aroma makes your tummy smile. We all three cut into our Steaks and they are Right-On, just the way they should be. I have had the KC Steak before, and it was Very Tastylicious, and that's what my Wife said about hers. Very Tender with lots of Flavor in every bite. Joe loved his also and ate all of it. My Wife didn't eat all of hers because, as she says, she isn't tall enough. I ate all of mine because I am tall enough. It was also Very Flavorful, Tenderlicious and just down-right great. Their Steaks cut very easy with a knife - it just falls through the Deliciousness with ease. Normally, a New York Strip Steak is seasoned by being patted dry, then liberally coated on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper. Some methods involve dry-brining for several hours, while others apply a simple mix of salt, pepper, and garlic powder just before cooking. Don't know if Henry's does theirs this way, but I do know that it's Awesomely Flavored. French Fries are pretty good, and I ate all of mine, but don't tell my Doctor. I'm not suppose to have this much Steak and Potatoes, and I've done this a couple times this week. So - Shhhhhhhhhhhh. No wonder their Frijoles Borracho's are Very Tasty. The Frijoles Borracho's (Drunken Beans) are a classic dish featuring Pinto Beans slow-simmered with Beer, Bacon, and aromatic Vegetables. Other key ingredients are Bacon rendered fat, Garlic, Jalapenos, Tomatoes, Cilantro, and dark Mexican Beer. All of that in a bowl for your enjoyment. And believe me, you will enjoy these. Monica earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. She checked on us at just the right times and was very pleasant to talk to. She also described how the Steaks were seasoned, prepared, and that the KC Steak is her favorite. She is Awesome. When we left, Henry's was pretty busy, as expected. Maybe they all came for the Steaks. On the way home, we enjoyed another Beautiful San Angelo Afternoon.

7/25/2026 our first time here at The Original Henry's since relocating to San Angelo on 1/14/2026…read more Since then, we have driven past TOH's numerous times and their parking lot was usually full. 2:15pm on a Saturday we were quickly seated and waited on. Kimberly was our server and perhaps one of the BEST waitresses we've had at any restaurant in San Angelo. She took our order and quickly brought out our drinks along with chips, salsa, guacamole and beans and within minutes both our dinners were brought out to us. With it being so quick, I do question the food prep which is not necessarily a negative thing. Sometimes when food arrives fast at a sit-down restaurant, it can feel alarming. However, it can be kitchen prep done hours before service so dishes can be rapidly assembled along with synchronized cooking stations designed for efficiency. Kimberly checked on us 3 times which was nice and cleared empty dishes out of our way. The place is clean, inviting, lots of seating and numerous menu choices. We both liked our choices and our bill was reasonable.

Thursday night we got together with some friends and ate at Cielo Mexican Restaurant. We had not…read morebeen there, and it's only a few blocks from our house. They have eaten there several times and really like the food. My Wife and I arrived a little early and took a seat in their waiting area. Soon, our friends arrived, and the staff led us to our table/booth. The Chips & Salsa lady brought over a basket of Warm Chips and Red Medium-Heat Salsa for you to enjoy while looking over the menu. Our server, Janessa, came over, and we ordered our drinks: Dos XX Lager for me. My Wife is having water. The Chips are good and crunchy, and that Red Sauce is just what they say; it's Mediumly HOT, and very good. Soon, Janessa came over, and we placed our order. My Wife is going with their "Taco Salad"; In a decent-sized fried Tortilla Bowl, they add shredded Chicken or ground Beef. My wife chose Beef, with Black Refried Beans, Queso Dip, shredded Lettuce, diced Tomatoes, and Queso y Crema. I am having the "Baja Fish Tacos"; Three Fried or Grilled Fish (chose grilled), with Flour or Corn Tortillas (chose Corn). Topped with Chipotle Slaw & Avocado slices. Served with Black Beans in a red fried tortilla, also served with Rice. While we waited for our food, we enjoyed our drinks & chips and talked about our travels. Lots of good stories here that we are not going to post. Soon, our food is served, and my Wife's Taco Salad looks pretty good with lots of Cheese and Sour Cream on top. My Baja Fish Tacos are served on a rectangular plate and are a Beautiful Presentation. Not sure what Jimmy & Judy ordered, but both dishes looked delicious. There are Three Corn Tortillas with very, very little Baja Fish inside. So small, in fact, that I can't see the other fish inside the Corn Tortilla. Each Taco isn't even filled up to the top, with very little Chipotle Slaw. The Black Beans in the Red Fried Tortilla are just enough to cover the bottom of the tortilla. There is, however, a lot of Rice (enough for two). You can barely taste the fish inside each taco. Very disappointed in the amount of food they serve for $20.00. My Wife said pretty much the same about her Taco Salad. There is Beef at the bottom, mixed in with the Black Refried Beans and some kind of sauce, which turned this into a Soup-like creation. Not what you want inside a Taco Salad. Lots of shredded Lettuce with the shredded Cheese on top, along with the Sour Cream - and that didn't even bring it up to the top. The Tortilla Bowl itself is on the medium size, not huge nor small, but for $1400 you expect more. Overall, we are very disappointed in what you get for the money. Service was okay, but not outstanding. At first, they seemed to want to rush you out, but later on we enjoyed staying and having our conversation without interruption. Also, when they took our drink order, our server left without asking me what I wanted. Oops, that happens sometimes - I think. Anyway, that being said, the atmosphere is nice and is quiet for as open as it is. My Wife and I will go back, but only if someone invites us to join them and they pick Cielo Mexican Restaurant. We will then try something else and order another Beer. Their mixed drinks do look great, and I'm sure they are delicious, but we're not into those high prices.

I don't do 5 stars or 1 star reviews based on friendships, free items or any other reasons. Being I'm a good sport, I am here on a second visit against my choice. My 1st visit 2 weeks ago was going to be my last. We arrived at 5pm and only a few other couples were here. The place started filling up around 5:30pm so keep that in mind. I ordered steak quesadillas with a mango margarita. Our waitresses were friendly and checked on us regularly. The restaurant was clean, ample seating with a fun music vibe. My quesadilla was a bit salty but I still enjoyed my dinner. Chefs often use a bit of extra salt to wake up flavor profiles. My husband enjoyed his enchiladas w/beans and rice and a coke 0. When we got home we got to thinking why our bill was $62.24. I called and spoke with the mgr, he pulled our ticket# up and noticed our waitress added a $12.00 item onto our ticket when it should have been on our friend's ticket and he apologized for her mistake. $50.24 should have been our total. Apology accepted and we left it at that. Please check your tickets before giving your card to be ran at any restaurant. I struggled with giving 3 or 4 stars so you can see my choice above.

I didn't know your town, I drove around looking for Mexican food that could compare to California, until I found this hidden gem. First and foremost the customer service is something I've never experienced in my 42 years of life. As soon as you walked through the door, Brian, greeted me and from that second made me feel like long lost family. Very welcoming. It was a Sunday morning and he asked where I was from, I explained from where and why I was in town. Brian genuinely listened and he offered his prayers. You don't get this kind of service anywhere in California. It's true,Texas, people are so much nicer and hospitality really is something to be admired. I went to pay and Brian stunned me, when he wouldn't take my money and told me that I had bigger things to worry about than paying for my breakfast. After listening to me vent and pray for me and wouldn't take my money. This man really is a good human being. I'm telling you, shocked doesn't explain the feeling at that moment. I watched him interact with other customers and he was the same way being personable. Now the food could have been terrible and I would have still gave a good review just on customer service LOL, but seriously the Menudo was amazing, the broth , patas , homney, tripe and all. I'm a white guy and I come from a Hispanic community in Cali, I know ethnic. This is legit. It is very hard to find really good Menudo, but San Angelo it's right here. Please give his restaurant your business.

"TASTY DELICIOUS MEXICAN RESTAURANT"…read more Yesterday my Wife prepared a Salad for 20 people and we dropped it off right around Dinner time, so, since we are out and about we decided to go out to eat at a place that was recommended to us that we have never been - and it's right up the street from where we dropped off the Salad. Well, kind of up the street, but it's close enough. Arrived at "Jalapenos Locos" at around 6:30pm or so, a half hour before Happy Hour ends. The place is beautifully decorated and packed but there is a booth open for us. The Chips and Salsa girl was right there for us to start enjoying what is a staple at every Mexican Restaurant. Right behind her was our Server, Dina. We inquired about their Margaritas and ordered two Frozen Margaritas. Dina also explained what their Specials of the Day are, the Fried Catfish and the Combination Dinner. Both sounded just like what we wanted to order. My Lovely Wife is having their "Fried Fish Friday Special"; Hand Breaded Fish with house made Tartar Sauce & Two Lemon Wedges, served with Crispy Golden Brown French Fries. I am having the "Friday Special Combination Plate"; Two Crunchy Beef Tacos with Lettuce & Tomato, Two Chicken Enchiladas (choice) covered in a Sour Cream Cheesy Sauce, served with Refried Beans & Rice. Orders are complete. Now for those Chips & Salsa. The Chips are served warm, crunch and a nice flavor. The Salsa is also served warm and it has a very fresh peppery flavor, one of the Best I have ever had with just the right amount of Spiciness. Soon our Frozen Margaritas arrived and we love the glasses. These are so 'thick' that my Wife started eating hers with a fork. I'm using the straw and it is holding up fine, but stirring helps. They are some of the Best Tasting Margaritas Ever - deliciousness at it's finest. Jalapenos Locos consist of two rooms, one side with dining room tables and booths, the other side is the large Bar with dining room tables, and both sides are filled with people waiting to take over any empty table/booth. Dina stopped by and we chatted for a while and she pointed out to the gentleman and lady at the booth next to us, it's the Owner, Bernie. Bernie turned around and we also chatted with him. This guy is the real deal - down to earth type and was great talking to him. You know a Restaurant has really good food when the owner eats there also, right next to you. The Host/Hostess at the door entrance greets everyone like family, because all the customers here are like family to all the staff. Happiness is all over Jalapenos Locos. Dina earned the "Dollar-Bow-Tie" Award for going 'above-n-beyond' the norm. Soon our food arrived and both plates are a Beautiful Presentation of Mexicanliciousness. Lots and lots of Fish on that plate, with a good amount of Golden French Fries. My Wife LOVES her Fried Fish and the house made Tartar sauce is right-on. The breading on the fish is crispyliciousness with the fish being fresh, flaky and tasty. I had two pieces of them and I can truthfully say this fish the Best and is Very Tastylicious - and served Hot. My Beef Crunch Tacos are loaded up to the top and have a Tacolicious taste in every bite, especially with their Salsa. The Chicken Enchiladas are stuffed with a lot of shredded Chicken and are Very Enchiladalicious. Love that Sour Cream Cheesy Sauce - it's some really good stuff. The Refried Beans and Rice area also very delicious. When you first walk inside the decor catches your eyes and makes you feel like you are in an a truly delicious Mexican Restaurant, and when they serve you their Margaritas and your food, you start enjoying some of the finest around. Then you know you are in a truly delicious Mexican Restaurant. Jalapenos Locos does Everything Right. We ordered another Frozen Margarita to share and to enjoy with the last of our food on our plates. Jalapenos Locos is now our Best Mexican Restaurant in San Angelo - it's all that good. Can't wait to come back here and try some of their other Delicious Dinners - and they have a huge menu to choose from, with Specials from Tuesday through Friday along with other Specials and Happy Hour from 4 to 7pm. Closes at 3:00pm on Sundays, closed all day Mondays. Check'em out on Facebook; Jalapenos Locos - On the way home my Baby and I enjoyed another beautiful evening in San Angelo.
