Best carne guisada I've ever had! The place is always clean and everyone is so friendly. They have amazing breakfast food.

Nice country atmosphere. Clean with good service. Chill rellenos were very good as were the rice and beans. Home made flour tortillas were beyond good!!# We will be back!! read more

Benjamin's Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Von Ormy, Texas

The food is good. They just refuse to move with the times and will only use cash. Have no idea why? I'm sure there's reasons.

Had lunch with hubby here today. He ordered the carne guisada plate, and I got the kids enchilada plate. It's been my experience that if I order a regular plate at a Mexican restaurant, I can never finish it, so I stick with the kids plate most of the time. Food was really good, and lots of it, of course. The tortillas are home made, and delicious. Rice was moist, beans seasoned perfectly. If I had any complaints at all, it was that the cheese in the enchilada was American cheese and cloyingly thick. Interior is very plain and country-ish, but clean, with a lot of things to look at on the walls and counters. You can tell this is mostly a place where locals eat. Staff was friendly and attentive. While it wasn't a "stand out" experience, I would definitely eat here again, and would recommend it to others. read more

See all

flour tortillas are top tier!!! love their Carne Guisada with cheese is amazing and with cheese is immaculate!!!

We are from Austin and unfamiliar with area. This was in somewhat close proximity to the soccer complex where we were playing. We wanted to find an authentic Mexican restaurant in the area. The yelp reviews on Benjamin's were spot on. The place is definitely a hole in the wall with burglar bars on all of the windows. Don't let that detract you from eating there. We had the chicken enchiladas and the fajita nachos. Bothe were great. The flour tortillas and guacamole were both very fresh and delicious. Definitely worth it!!!! read more

We had a very good experience at Benjamin's Kitchen!! We were visiting the area and stopped here - so glad we did! The food was fresh, hot and very clear tastes. We would definitely recommend this place. read more

Omg. A gem hidden in the ruff. Tortillas are to die for. Had Huevos Rancheros-- the bomb. Service was excellent. Coffee is great. Definitely will be back. read more

Was extremely disappointed in this place. Staff more interested in themselves food was OK. Fajitas were good

Benjamins Kitchen is THE PLACE for an awesome bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup! I love this place! I have never had anything else other than the Tortilla Soup, and I don't think I ever will. It is the best soup I have ever had in San Antonio, and that is a bold statement! It is that good! Giant chunks of Avacado, juicy chicken, shredded cheese, onion, tomato, and all kinds of other delicious goodness! It is a great value! The soup is $5-$6 and I have NEVER finished an entire bowl (And I'm a 215lb guy). It's huge & will definitely fill you up. I took a friend there & he ordered the burrito. Just the burrito, not a super burrito, not a special burrito, not a I-am-starving burrito and the thing was about the size of a small pony (kidding). Imagine a burrito with the dimensions of a laptop but 4 inches thick! He ate as much as he could and took the rest home, which provided is next 2 meals. The burrito was $5! Be sure to bring cash because they don't accept credit & get there early or you may have to wait a few minutes, as there aren't a lot of tables. The place seats maybe 60 people. Also, the Chicken Tortilla soup is NOT served on Wednesdays, so if you trust me on my review of the soup, don't go on that day! Enjoy! 100% recommend! read more

Really good Tex Mex. I had heard about this place for a long time before finally getting the chance to try it. I was expecting killer comfort food and I was not disappointed. I've been on a cheese enchilada kick lately so I got the Mexican plate - 2 cheese enchiladas and a crispy taco. The enchiladas were great - very classic Tex Mex with the red tortillas and all. These aren't my favorite cheese enchiladas in San Antonio - but they're the next level down - awesome, no complaints at all. The crispy taco was fine - better than average. The standout for me was the flour tortillas. These were the best I've had in a long while. Very light and fluffy. I rate them higher for texture than flavor but they were amazing. The chips and salsa they put out were good - I really liked the chips, didn't care that much for either of the salsas. One was a warm, tomato salsa that was mild and very heavy on the onions. The other was a green one that was also mild and kind of bland to me. Very reasonable prices, friendly service and great coffee. I will definitely stop by whenever I am in the area . .which is almost never . .but I'll figure out a reason to come back, lol. read more

By far the best breakfast tacos in SA. The asada burrito was amazing as well. It was HUGE!! The tortillas remind me of when I was a kid and my Tia would make them homemade. Delicious. Definitely recommend. read more

Omg this place has become my favorite go to place. The tortillas are homemade and so soft and fluffy just like how my grandma used to make them. Plates and servings are of great size. Believe me once you try it you will get hooked! The only thing bout this place is its cash only and I know that could be a bad thing for people now a days but so worth it!! read more

Super fast service. Our waitress was always observant of our drinks regardless of the 100% occupancy of the restaurant. Our food was delicious from burritos to enchiladas. read more

I actually have lived near this restaurant for over 20 years and never knew about it. Then I went and Yelp! and found this tiny restaurant with high ratings and decided to try it with my brother today. Incredible food! I had tacos and he had the cheese enchilada plate. Amazing! But CASH ONLY! Don't forget! read more

You have to try the Andy's Plate with the chicken puffy taco. The pricing is good, but the building g is simple. Very good authentic Mexican food. If your doing keto, dont eat here. Lol read more

I wrk near by an eaten there more then a couple of times. But also remember showing up with co workers an someone forgeting to hav cash. They dont do credit or debit go to the atm down the street they once said! It's pretty small an tight just because they squeezed extra tables in there which sucks if u need to wash up. But the food is great an gets 4 stars even with the little flaws this place has. This Taqueria is always packed an thats for a reason. Pleanty of parking but beleive they will one day bust at the seems with people. lol read more

Softest fajita meat I ever had. Out in the boonies but worth it. Nothing fancy just good food read more

Benjamin's Kitchen - Mexican Near Me - Von Ormy, Texas

This hole in the wall has some of the best tacos and lunch specials. Love the taste of their retried beans and their enchiladas. They are usually busy during lunch but super quick to get you in and out. They only accept cash (hence the 4 not 5 star rating) so make sure you plan accordingly. read more

First time here. It's nowhere close to much of anything except the park we were checking out. The only downside that we experienced was they only take cash. The place is small but it was clean. The service was good and our food was delicious. Hubby had the special of the day which included carne guisada and a cheese enchilada. He said both were better than he has had in a lot of places we have eaten. I had the chile relleno and it was very good. I love the sauce they topped it with. Too bad it is so far away. read more

This place is amazing!!! I'm not a big meat eater but the carne guisada is to die for! The tea always tastes fresh and the service is great! I can never decide between carne guisada & cheese tacos or nachos( the nachos usually win me over) It is inconvenient that the place only accepts cash but then again if they accepted card they would never get rid of me. ‍ read more

Hands down the best homemade tortillas I have ever had! Always quick service even when busy and great servers!

This little hole in the wall place is definitely a hidden gem! Great authentic Mexican food! Reasonably priced AND very nice to Veterans! The only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because they are cash only... so stop at an ATM on your way and don't let that deter you!!! read more

So delicious! I had the super nachos with beef fajita meat. Very generous on the amount of meat and guacamole on the nachos. Weren't overly greasy. My husband had the beef enchiladas. Once again very generous on the meat! Corn tortillas were homemade and nice and hot. Definitely one of those hidden gem hole in the walls of San Antonio read more

Benjamin's Kitchen - Super nachos with beef fajita meat - Mexican Near Me - Von Ormy, Texas

We were visiting from Virginia and stayed in San Antonio for 10 days. I just happened to check yelp for nearby Mexican restaurants and I went with Benjamin's. We were not let down. The carne asada was amazing and the Queso dip is a must have! We did not have a single bad meal while we were here, but Benjamin's was the best. Cash only. (There's an ATM at the Valero gas station that's nearby) service was outstanding! read more

My Oo my the Machacado plate was awesomely delicious. The service was superb. I'm definitely going back to try their lunch menu.

Very good food!!! You will NOT go away hungry!!! Had the Mexican plate deluxe to try a variety. Everything was delicious and very authentic. Had to take some food home!! read more

Good food great service. The reviews are a bit exaggerated. We drove from north end of San Antonio, where we were staying, to this establishment and we could of ate at 100 other places similar to this food along that drive. Yes it is a friendly quaint place with about 20 tables and booths but it is as similar to any taqueria. Not disappointed but not what I expected from all the 5 stars. There is nothing fancy about this place just a simple atmosphere. read more
