Zoomed through the drive thru to grab some breakfast tacos. The lady at the window was very welcoming. She clearly enjoys her job and gives off the positive energy that most people need to get the day started. Can't speak about the ambiance of the restaurant as we visited the drive thru. Tacos are packed with ingredients and filled with flavor. Prices are comparable to many other taco places. read more

We just moved to the neighborhood and we've been in search of some good breakfasts tacos. Today was my husband's birthday and he wanted some tacos. I figured why not drive on by and get him some. Benny's did not fail me! The lovely lady at the drive thru had a cheerful greating and gracious smile. Got home with the tacos and my husband was happy. We now have a new taco favorite place on the NE side of town. Now he wants to go back and try some breakfasts plates. This place is a solid go to for good tacos. read more

Woke up Sunday morning and found this small gem just down the street from where we were staying at. Small places like this are the ones that usually surprise you and this place sure did. Ordered some breakfast tacos and a plate and the food was brought out in a timely manner. Food was good and so was the service. If I'm ever in the area I will not hesitate to eat here again. read more

This place is nothing fancy (the restaurant is a repurposed old Wendy's building) but it's just plain, good food with friendly and quick service. Usually I just go through the drive through, but I had time today to dine in. I've tried the Barbacoa, bacon and egg taco, picadillo, carne guisada, chorizo and egg, sweet tea, and horchata. There wasn't a single thing that was not delicious. The Barbacoa is a little greasy so if you're not into slightly greasy barbacoa then go somewhere else but it doesn't bother me at all. Next time I get the chance, I'd love to try their menudo. read more

This is a solid three star place. Look it will take a lot to get five stars in this town. We are Mexican food. I had the mole and it was good but too runny. It needs density and this wasn't quite there. I would give this place 4 stars because of the value this place has with $5 lunches galore. Benny's is real good not great. Will be back. read more

I pass this place on my way to work almost every morning. They always have a line in their drive thru, so I decided to try it out the other day. I had 2 bacon, egg, and cheese tacos.

TL;DR: Great potato-n-egg and bean-n-cheese tacos. Awesome salsa verde & decent salsa rojo. $1.75 for 2 tacos on weekday mornings (don't remember the specific hours). Delicious, home-made flour tortillas. All these things together make this my favorite breakfast taco in town. I do love breakfast tacos, but I'm kind of a stick in the mud about them. I nearly never venture away from my usual potato egg (with salsa verde) and bean cheese (with salsa rojo) tacos on flour tortillas. If I do, it might be for a barbacoa taco. And my recent favorite breakfast taco is Benny's. In fact, this place just beat out my other preferences: Bill Miller, Taco Palenque, and Las Palapas. And dude, this place is cheap! $1.75 for 2 breakfast tacos on weekday mornings. The tacos are good sized for the price. Plus, they were fresh-made every time I have visited. While the salsa rojo is decent, if not a bit vinegary, the salsa verde has a kick and is very good. Drive thru service is pretty quick. Just remember the $5 minimum for all debit and credit card purchases. I have yet to visit the inside of the restaurant or try any of their lunch and dinner plates. I should point out that the drive thru and restaurant exterior badly need a facelift. This makes me believe the other reviews that the inside needs a good cleaning. read more

Came here on Sunday around brunch. 10:40 am to be exact. They were quick to seat us, get our drinks & get our orders. 30 min goes by, nothing. Yet the party of 5 who came in behind us all had gotten served. 2 other couple who came after us also got their food. And that was that for me. It had been AN HOUR since we ordered & still no food in sight. I told my husband let's go to the front & at least pay for the drinks. Magically then, did the front host said our food was ready. No ma'am. Too late. I will def not be returning. read more

I try to rate based on the level of restaurant I'm patronizing. I don't pay $5 for a steak and ding the restaurant because it wasn't like Ruth's Chris. If the food is overall prepared and seasoned well, I'm not gonna ding them in rating because i just didn't personally like it. Your tastes may differ from mine. The 2 breakfast tacos for $1.75 and really good reviews on another site is what brought us in. At that price there wasn't a huge variety but still plenty enough for cheap. The only meat offered on the discount tacos was chorizo so I ordered my standard bean, bacon & egg. I don't know how something so simple can taste so different in different places but these were good & good sized for $1.69 each. My wife's choice of a "deluxe" pork chop taco was full of meat but very bland and had a kind of "fresh yesterday" taste. If you want chips and salsa you need to request it and it's free. Both red and green sauces weren't very hot but that's fine for me. The red sauce was very vinegary which I don't like. The green was tasty. As reported by others coffee was good. Now for the dings. Poor service. The waitresses had a tendency to cluster and just talk. Frequently we couldn't get ours attention to fill needs she should have known on her own without being asked. Very friendly but it's a restaurant not a popularity contest. This bothers me more than most things when a restaurant isn't very busy. DIRTY A$$ BATHROOMS. It's obvious few men are raised today with the understanding of civilized bathroom hygienics. (Really what DID your parent teach you?!) The restaurant can't be responsible for the animals that go in there but there were archeological strata of filth possibly going back decades. That can be helped. I see others mention "there are lot of better places" at this price-point. I'm sure there are in San Antonio but I would come back. At least for one more shot. read more

Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

Although it looked crowded on the outside…read moreand we thought there would be a long wait, we were seated within five minutes inside the restaurant. We ordered the table side guacamole, steak fajitas and a chicken salad. Overall the food was very tasty and the portions we good. Of course it was a little pricey because it is on the river walk. The only negatives was that services was really slow and the dining area is very crowded. It took awhile for our waitress to make it to our table and she was gone in a flash after we told her our drink orders (we were ready to put in our food order by the time she go to our table, but she was gone.) That was the main theme for the night. She would stop by our table ask a question get an answer and was gone before we could say anything additional. It just made the experience a lot longer than it needed to be.

Really nice ambiance in and out; we sat inside…read more First just real talk, they need to deep clean because it stinks inside. I know that smell and it is deeply embedded grime. The food is ok.

Surprised the wife with a trip to Pan Fila for her favorite hot chocolate and concha. We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
