I was given a total price of 57.00 more or less with driver tip. The puffy taco on line was $6.30 with Piccadilly. I was unchanged to 7.57 for what I dont know, then ordered the soft beef tacos with cheese sauce with no lettuce it was 13.89 and was up charged to 15.14 I guess for taking off the lettuce. Then ordered 2 large sweet teas they were 7.56 I was up charged to 10.09 for 2 sweet teas. And the charged 3.79 for 2 plates to go. A 57.00 order turned out costing me 75.18 with a 7.95 driver tip. Blanco you need to up date your prices for your online order system and quit ripping people off after they get there food. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Lots of character and solid food. Ambiance was solid too. Not a fancy place at all, but an old building with some great food coming out of the kitchen is what I like. And this was my first time having Mexican food in Texas. Not sure if that makes it Tex-Mex or not. This was my first time in Texas and I really wanted to try as many taco eateries and Mexican food as possible. But I can only eat so much. This was probably my favorite place out 3 or 4 places. Living in San Diego for 35 plus years and growing up eating homemade Mexican food on the daily, makes me somewhat of a legit eater of this type of food. And I was happy with what I ordered. Carne Guisado was new for me. As was the Puffy Taco Piccadillo. The soup was new to me as well-Fideo soup is what I believe it was called. Basically beans com carne with noodles. My buddy had the enchilada plate and J guess that's what they are known for. I Just wish I was hungrier so I could've tried more items on the menu. Now only if there was a place similar in SoCal. Check out my pics. read more

Great hot sauce and daily lunch specials. Breakfast tacos and enchilada are solid and some of the best in town.

A classic Mexican diner. My favorite cheese enchilada, hands down. Breakfast tacos are large and tasty. Friendly service, super clean and bright surroundings. Wait outside in line, they'll get to you quickly. read more

Little pricy. Nachos & a dinner for two. 80.00. Super hot in that little cafe/restaurant! Feels like your in your gmas kitchen. Your making that much $$$... fix the A/C. Staff was very nice. Wouldn't go as far as saying the best enchiladas... pretty good at best. read more

I'm going to give it 5 stars, the food and service were excellent! If you're looking for fine dining this isn't it, if you're looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, culture and setting? This is the place for you! We had the enchiladas, cheese, chicken and beef, and thought the chicken had the most flavor. We would definitely come back and recommend to SA locals who understand different Mexican cuisine! read more

Blanco Cafe - Enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Breakfast review. Got there at opening hour. Greeted by all the staff. Was allowed to choose where we wanted to sit. Got our drink order. Put in our food order. Before we knew it we were dining in delicious and hardy portions of egg and bacon (THAT WAS PRIMARILY MEAT! You don't see that much anymore!) If this seems streamlined then now you know what to expect! Ain't no meandering around here! Old cafe with a stern and timely edge. I'm here to say, go check out... blanco cafe! read more

Came during a Sunday day out, first you have to wait outside and no sign in. Just first come first served seating. Then ordered enchilada plate... cheese was cold on top, rice was crunchy and seemed like it was scraped from the bottom of the pan. Only reason it's getting 3 star was service from the waitress and the tortillas were delicious! read more

service was extremely bad. I will not ever eat here again. waitress messed up on order and refused to correct the plate. then the manager argued with me as well. i asked for ground beef enchilada. they brought me cheese. I asked if the could bring me just a side of enchiladas. The said I would have to pay for the additional ones because I had a bit read more

Service was very good and attentive, clean environment, great Tex-Mex food and breakfast! Highly recommend!

This place had the best enchiladas in all of Texas! There is no comparison! I had the cheese enchiladas plate with 2 over easy eggs on top, I KNOW what you're thinking, BUT TRUST ME! It was sooo good! I am currently in a food coma writing this, before I take a Power Nap I leave you with this, GO TRY THIS PLACE! Customer service is top notch by all members of the staff especially Sylvia who makes you feel right at home! I love it here, check it out! read more

Classic Tex-Mex Mex Food. Excellent huevos rancheros playe which is very cheap before 9 AM. I think it's four dollars with coffee before 9 AM. It's a very established place and it has a very mom-and-pop atmosphere which is nice! read more

Best tacos, coffee and breakfast in Texas. They are quick and everyone is so nice. I don't live in San Antonio but in two visits I've been to the place three times and tomorrow will make it four. read more

My husband & I stumbled upon this authentic restaurant while headed to Kerrville, Texas. We had visited a sister Blanco location during a previous visit. Both entrees ordered were high quality, flavorful, and the portions were sizable. When we arrived the restaurant was crowded, but we were acknowledged and greeted appropriately. Our waitress was patient, knowledgable, thorough and knew the menu items quite well. She recommended both beef and cheese enchilada plates as their top sellers. The decor was typical for a Mexican restaurant and had been in business for a long time. I highly recommend this original Mexican restaurant and will be back again. read more

Classic neighborhood spot with Tex-Mex classics, SA style. The enchiladas verdes are slightly spicy and yummy, served with really good Mexican rice and tasty refried beans. I've had the puffy tacos, flautas and chalupas and all are good! Every meal includes flour tortillas for the table. read more

Absolutely amazing food! Our son had the children's guisada which he chowed down on. The rest of us had the chicken enchiladas with beans and rice with a puffy taco. A must stop when in San Antonio. read more

This place never disappoints. The cheese enchiladas are the best. Get a side of sliced jalapeños to put on top and it's heaven. read more

Blanco Cafe - Cheese enchilada/chicken fajita plate and deluxe dinner in the back, half eaten. - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

A solid spot to go grab a Mexican-style breakfast in a nice little art deco enclave in the middle of San Antonio. Grab a breakfast taco (they are big) and a coffee and then go explore the nearby vintage and antique shops on Blanco Road. read more

The food was delicious and the staff was very friendly. They were extremely busy but moved the line quickly without feeling rushed. Parking was difficult but worth it. The temperature was perfect during this hot weather. The establishment had a lot of character. I didn't take any pictures unfortunately! read more

We always get the Deluxe Mexican Plate. It never disappoints! I usually eat the first course and save the second course (enchiladas and rice and beans) for dinner. Their breakfast tacos are delicious. Be prepared to wait and be seated. It's always busy and tables are full. I suggest going with extra time to spare..the wait is worth it! Staff is excellent. Opens early- I would place an order for breakfast to pick up tacos on Friday morning.. easy in and out. A must try for those looking for some good food in Medical Center San Antonio off Fredricksburg and Medical Drive. read more

This Blanco Cafe has amazing service. Above all has great Mexican American food. Especially their Mexican Dinner was great... I love their 3 Cheese Enchiladas with chili con carne served with beans and rice... were great tasting served. Also came with a Chalupa and a beef taco. It was served hot . The flour tortillas were made puffy and soft and nonetheless, awesome tasting served. I enjoyed the restaurant that has a successful business . Bona Appetite! :):):) read more

Seriously, the absolute best enchiladas I have ever eaten anywhere, ever!!! I ordered the enchiladas trio, which has 3 enchiladas, 1 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 cheese, plus a slice of bacon (what? OMG, awesome bonus!). My wife ordered the cheese enchiladas, which has 3 cheese enchiladas topped with two fried eggs. The enchiladas were appropriate drenched in their delicious red enchilada sauce and topped with cheese, and of course the plate has rice and beans on the side. These are relatively standard dishes that one could order in any Mexican restaurant, but there was some massive love in every single morsel of the food on these plates, and you could taste it. I could barely understand what was happening in my mouth. Even just the iced tea I ordered was inexplicably delicious. I fell in love and I am still thinking about that food after two days, and I'll probably be thinking about it after this! We were just visiting San Antonio and checking out all the cool shops on Blanco and saw people in line outside of this place. Now we understand why! As if this place needed any more positives beyond the food, it is clear that Blanco Cafe is a very well-loved place by its community members. There was real vibe of friends, family, and welcoming community here, and I will definitely be visiting again! read more

Very good food has always been my favorite spot for their cheese enchiladas I can honestly say the best I have tasted

The enchiladas were on point! The carne guisada was not over spiced. The tortillas are just right!! Very good food!!

Great Enchiladas and friendly faces. This is a great go to when you need a great Tex-Mex enchilada.

My favorite Mexican restaurant in the United States. The food is hot, inexpensive and unbelievably good tasting. The service is excellent. I have been eating there for about 50 years . I am an expert in eating Mexican food and have eaten at least 100 Mexican restaurants in San Antonio and none is better than Blanco Cafe. read more

Best chiles rellenos in SA! It's their Thursday lunch special! And delicious homemade tortillas!

We came for breakfast the parking lot was packed, there was a wait for a table. All good signs. Unfortunately the food didn't live up to the hype. I had the huevos rancheros with watered down ranchera sauce just terrible. My daughter got the egg & sausage tacos. I could tell something was wrong watching her eat so I took a bite and almost spit out the food cause it was bad. Service was good. I wanted this to be good. read more

Was looking for a good Mexican restaurant. Due to all of the great reviews on yelp decided to give it a try . Got @ blanco cafe around 5 , it was pretty packed . Took a few minutes for a waitress to stop by . She got our drink orders & informed us that our waitress was on the way ! Waitress came we ordered . The food was good . It wasn't mind boggling. It was good . Our waitress was really nice read more

I had to leave. I sat by the bar and noticed their ice setup - a tub of ice with an ice-scooper swimming in it. Servers and cooks used bare hands from this tub, even for serving. Peering into the kitchen, I witnessed a cook eating pizza without gloves while preparing food, and none of the cooks wore gloves. While the food seemed tempting, I can't dine at a place where sanitation and cleanliness aren't priorities. read more

huevos rancheros were excellent with a side of country sausage hmmm! Their enchiladas were delicious. read more

Some of the best American cheese enchiladas that I've had in a really long from an establishment with impeccable previous health scores. A friend of mine from Facebook posted a photo of these and I had to try them. The staff was friendly and restaurant was clean. I've seen complaints that mention wait times, yeah well be patient. A lot of people don't want to work these days and that stretches everyone else's service thin, literally. If you want to eat out give the the restaurant enough time to do what needs to be done. If they don't comply with your request the first time give the a reminder. They're human too and doing things for several other tables. Remember to always tip because you were served. read more

Love this place. It's been in business many many years as I first ate here in 1989. Nothing has changed except the prices and they are still very reasonable. The Mexican platter is the best Parking can be a little difficult at times due to the popularity of this restaurant but the food is definitely worth the wait. read more

Came to San Antonio for a golf trip. A friend recommended this place for enchiladas. Amazing! Best Mexican food I've ever had by far. Damn!!! read more

My BFF and were in the mood for good menudo for Sunday breakfast. We were both so disappointed. The wait was very long, which I understand,it's a popular place, and because of this they signs everywhere: prices had gone up, they don't seat incomplete parties and you have to leave in an hour!! The food was horrible, menudo was bland, not fully cooked, the service was adequate. Across the street is Julia's Bristo and bar,which we went later in the afternoon. The service and food was outstanding!!! Guess where we will be going from now on. There are too many Mexican restaurants to choose from. read more

Great food always hot and fresh awesome service and you will get a discount if paying with cash

Mandatory lunch spot when passing San Antonio! Enchiladas are a must if it's your first time.

Everything was absolutely amazing and authentic. The enchiladas were awesome, the salsa was unique but definitely a must. And the fresh tortillas were a fan favorite read more
