    Should have guessed from the line WRAPPED AROUND THE BUILDING that this place was good. Service was efficient, food was delicious, and the work lunch outing was great! Parking in the rear!

    Taco huevo a la mexicana

    The wait to be seated was a little long. There's a sign that says "short staffed", so I was patient. The food came out quickly after I ordered. It was basically good. The menu prices must have recently changed because the pictures of the menu from 2 months ago are lower than the actual current prices. The corn tortillas are thick and have that "homemade" feel and taste. It was a very busy lunch time but the server checked in on me anyway. Moderate noise level considering how busy it was. The inside is plain, no frills.

    This place is the best blanco cafe. It's clean, fast and be nice to the staff because it's busy. I always get the cheese enchiladas and my dude got the ham and egg plate the eggs were fluffy. The price is a little high, but it's worth it. I like this place more than the one on Blanco, because it has good parking. Don't worry it's the same food, you're not missing out.

    Steak fajita taco
    Darian C.

    Had their steak fajita taco and I thought the meat was seasoned well. I had it to go so it was still pretty fresh and tasty when I brought it back. The portion size of the tacos are pretty good and I usually can eat one or two for lunch. The tortillas are soft but a little thick. If you can't finish the tacos they also microwave really well the next day.

    Kinda stingy with the asada???

    First and last visit. Unfortunately, my experience here was disappointing from the moment I walked in. The staff was unwelcoming and didn't acknowledge guests as they entered, which immediately set a negative tone. I place a lot of value on ambiance, and when a place doesn't feel inviting, it's not somewhere I want to spend time. While the restaurant was busy--likely due to its popularity with some--I personally found the food to be bland and underwhelming. There are definitely other local mom-and-pop taco spots in the Medical Center area that are more worth exploring.

    Enchilada and Fajita plate
    Greg S.

    I have been eating here forever. There is a reason why they are always one of the top spots of Tex-Mex style enchiladas. Their tortillas are made fresh and served warm, I suggest slathering them with butter or just load them up with the contents of this plate.. a beef fajita, enchilada, rice and bean taco.. Yes Please!! Expect to wait for a table when they are busy, but know that the food will come out hot and fresh.

    Carne Guisada taco
    Brian B.

    After finishing up an appointment earlier than expected, I had some to kill before heading to work. I stopped here to get some breakfast tacos. I don't believe I had visited this location before. The parking lot was semi full which I thought was a good sign. I entered the building and a gentleman said I could sit anywhere. I found a table easily due to their large dining room. Place seemed about half full with patrons. My waitress dropped by with the menu, and to take my drink order. I opted for the carne guisada and barbacoa taco. My food arrived soon after along with a bowl of hot sauce. The carne guisada taco had several large pieces of meat, which were tender. However, the gravy was bland. The hot sauce was added but didn't bring much heat. The barbacoa taco was served with cilantro and onion. However, I found it to be bland as well. The tortillas were pretty good. After paying my bill, I left to head to work. Not sure if I will come back to this location unless it is for enchiladas.

    Salsa. Hot!
    Bill W.

    This was the first time I was in Blanco Café, and it was very inviting and the wait staff there was inviting as well. The presentation of my order was outstanding. It was a chicken fried steak and as all chicken fried steaks go it was a little bit tough other than that. It tasted good. I would go back again. They do not offer a military discount!

    Beef Enchiladas but it was Chicken Enchiladas

    When I was ask what I wanted to drink, I told her, I just wanted water with 3 lemons, I was told my limit was Only 1 lemon, and I if wanted more, they would charge me 4 for $1.29. Ok, I will buy the extra lemons. So then my husband and I gave our ordered to the waitress, which I wanted chicken enchiladas and my husband wanted the beef enchiladas. When we got our food, the plates had a little bit of chicken on top of the enchiladas and little bit of beef on his, so we would get the right plates. Well, when I cut my chicken enchiladas, I had the beef and my husband had my chicken enchiladas! I was so mad! I tasted the chicken enchiladas and they were nasty. He said he will eat them. Other thing I noticed, we asked don't you all serve chips and salsa while we are waiting for your food? Yes we can, but we will charge you $5.00 for them. I was so upset, with everything. I just left it alone. My husband said, we just won't Ever come here again! So my suggestion. I don't recommend anyone going there. My first and last time to Blanco Cafe! Bad experience! Needs Better Service!!!

    Great food and service as always! Parking lot is always crowded. Good sign of a good restaurant! Very clean inside! Sometimes the parking lot is full, especially at noon time! Popular with patients and medical staff near the hospital!

    The CFS PLATE! ONLY ON TUESDAY!
    Timothy M.

    I love this place! Tuesday is chicken fried steak special! Excellent! Real steak and not a gross amount of batter. Cream gravy!

    House made fluffy flour tortillas were great.

    Have been regularly visiting Blanco Cafe on Fredericksburg this past week & have enjoyed every meal ordered. Today Thursday 12/11/25@1:09pm was difficult finding a parking spot as the place was packed. See lot pic & interior pic as the large dining room area was packed too. Seated quickly & I ordered so far my favorite chicken enchiladas verde with fideo rather than rice with corn tortillas which was absolutely a fabulous meal. Corn tortillas were house made thick and deliciously sweet. Their shredded chicken is spiced perfectly whether in the tacos or enchiladas & highly recommend. Wished they had an option to order their red salsa only instead of having to order chips & salsa for $3.99. Absolutely love their red salsa with a little heat but not near as fiery hot as their green salsa that's complimentary. Regardless I've been enjoying every meal ordered this past week & look forward to trying more delicious dishes from this delightful establishment. I have ventured to the Blanco Cafe on blanco which is a much smaller dining room & parking is rather limited but enjoyed their (3) enchiladas plate with beef, chicken & cheese listed on their menu. Since comparing the two restaurants, I still enjoy the Fredricksburg or medical center location best being closer to my location & their food has been delicious every time even though their pricing is a bit higher. It's funny when u go visit the Fredricksburg website their menu prices are old & outdated being confirmed with the restaurant staff which is a bit misleading likely wanting to capture customers before customers realize the meal portions have diminished (plates used to have 3 enchiladas now only 2 enchiladas at a higher price) O well... as long as the meals are as good as they have been I'll still revisit for their yummy dishes. recommend people visit other locations so when I arrive at Fredricksburg Blanco Cafe I won't have to struggle with parking & getting an available table inside. ;) Thank you Blanco Cafe Medical Center for providing delicious Mexican food!

    gravy for the enchiladas it tasted like it was flower, chili powder with microscopic minced beef of some sort with zero spices

    I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

    People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. 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

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.
