Good pit stop on our way to see the eclipse! The food was Tex-Mex and offered some American breakfast options such as pancakes. I ordered the chilaquiles plate. I was not too impressed by the green sauce a bit too sour and not spicy enough for my taste, but I do understand the options are mild to meet the Avery dinners palate. Definitely large portions, we ended taking some food home. The service was phenomenal! Our waitress was very nice, greeted with a smile and check on us to ensure we did not need anything else. The restaurant is a hole in the wall and many locals come to eat. read more

Excellent service and consistent food. I stopped in for breakfast for the first time. The interior and exterior clean. The place has an overall good vibe. I enjoyed the paintings on the walls and the Christian music playing subtly. The breakfast menu is compact and has daily specials. I tried Fridays Huevos Rancheros. The plate was filled with goodness as you can see in the photo. Everything was done to the Texas standard. The eggs, bacon, potato, refried beans, and tortilla were tasty. The coffee was plentiful, but bring your own honey. My waitress ( Carolina) was awesome. She shared her own personal cookies with me because they had no pan dulce. The prices are great. I recommend this place, it falls into the category of a quick ,and easy spot for a bite to eat. read more

Went to grab breakfast after a run and stopped by. We made a fantastic choice! Daniel's Cafe was excellent. The food was so good and fresh. The service was excellent and prices were very affordable. My husband ordered the chorizo and egg plate, our son got the huevos rancheros and I had to try the lengua and tripa tacos as they are hard to find lately. OMG, everything was soooo delicious . The lengua was super tender and the best I've ever had, tripas were fresh and delish, the guys said the beans were super delicious as well as barcacoa and chorizo and eggs. The waitresses were so nice and kept coming back for refills but the overall experience was excellent. They play KLOVE(Christian music) and display spiritual messages. Love that.

If you pass a place and there are trucks, cars bursting out of a restaurant's parking lot this should not be indicative of the quality of the product there. Tack on the city's most prestigious honor "The Blue Plate Award" and an illusion is set in place. Good food and perfect service rarely intersect. In its place the idea of hype materializes and makes us believe a place is such. Such was my experience at the much lauded "Daniel's Cafe"(no relation) in the Southside. I will not discredit the charms of a good "Hole in the wall" restaurant in the hood. In many respects that cuisine can be more noble than in a fancier setting. However as I have said before hype is a bubble waiting to be popped by the weight of its own reality. Why a one star? Firstly in a previous review I argued about places that choose to use social media via Google to advertise it. If you do this make sure your hours are aligned online with your business's signage. The hours say open at 6 am. I'm assuming that includes your dine-in hours. When I got there early morning at 6ish the dine in was closed but "to- go" wasn't. I must admit I was not a happy camper. To me time is money, more so than ever. I decided to come back at another appropriate time. The next time I came dine-in hours had just begun. It's very truckstop taqueria style, meaning servers are either going to cater to regulars or try to flirt with males for bigger tips. The thing is the place is kinda charming. I can see how people could be easily hoodwinked by it. It's pretty small with finite seating. This is where I diverge on popular opinion. Firstly I was the first patron to arrive. I don't expect niceties this early in the morning but at least the usual distribution of a menu followed by "que quieres tomar" when i'm seated. Instead the server was hobnobbing the whole time with her regulars, basically doing lapdances for a group of laborers who arrived moment's after me. The service was extremely slow. A wait for coffee. For food. For the bill. I know there's a labor shortage but there's a bigger one for good service. At this point I am probably just venting and should stop whilst I'm at it. However in my experience the irrefutable evidence is always in the product. So I ordered a carne quisada and bean & cheese taco. Again the service was slower than a sloth in a Rock and Roll Marathon. When the food finally arrived aeons later the plate was dirty. So when I asked the server to bring a clean plate I waited another rotation of the earth to get my food. When it arrived the tacos were all tortilla minus the fillings. Biting into the carne guisada there were like four small chunks of meat. The rest was all grease. My suspicion is that this batch was made with ultra cheap meat. I will say I did enjoy the bean & cheese taco. It was all lard, refried in manteca which reminded me of my old hood. Beyond that my experience here was dismal, an epic disappointment. Almost a decade on Yelp I've seen much lauded places fall under the weight by closer inspection. A business may be bestowed a major award by the powers that be. But it's usually for one aspect. To the true critic, reviewer-Yelper a place has to be good in many facets. Unfortunately Daniel's Cafe misses the mark, at least for me with ultra poor service and forgettable food. In addition if you use Google to advertise your business have the correct business hours. I like a good "Hole in the wall" as much as the next person. But I realize as noble as they can be not all of them are created the alike. read more

Showed up on Saturday around 10:30AM. Parked at the place next door on Presa. This place was booming and for a good reason. I've always said the salsa & tortillas are what make or break a Tex-Mex restaurant. They were both on point! Corn and flour tortillas are made in house. The one bummer, which can be solved by taking your own, is that there are no limes! Like it's a staple to eat barbacoa with cilantro, cebolla, sal, limon, y salsa! They had all except the limes but no need to deduct a star for that. I'm taking my own next time. Tried the barbacoa plate which comes for enough barbacoa for 3 hefty tacos. Came with refried beans and a side of potatoes which were cut/fried into chips. A nice alternate method of potatoes! Another thing to point out is the interior! The walls are painted with such vibrant contrasting colors, really compliment the space and add life! Also, there's an array of paintings which go great with the vibrant walls! Come check this place out! read more

This restaurant has been around for many years under different names but original kitchen staff, I believe. It is AWESOME. It has recently reopened under the original name and the food is awesome, freshly made, prepared and served. The "REFRIED BEANS" are the only place I have found in San Antonio that adheres to what refrued beans truly are. Ask any grandmother over 90. If any are still around. This place reminds me of my grandmother' cooking. Staff is friendly and polite. read more

We're from out of town. We saw this place coming back from visiting the Missions. We saw several cars there, and we thought, hmm, this place may be good. So we gave it a shot. The service there was excellent. The food was damn good. The refried beans reminded my dad of how my grandma used to make her beans. I had the fajita plate and it was great as well. I have no complaints at all. The best part? Our waitress. She was multitasking to the fullest and didn't miss a beat. My cup was never empty. Nice prices, and they serve you a lot. If I ever come back through, I'll definitely have to stop by again. Keep up the great service, guys. read more

The menu is a mix of Asian Fusion small plates and I would have loved to have had more of a sampling of the menu but it wasn't that large of a party. The cocktails were not too sweet and perfectly balanced. The Fist of Fury was so refreshing and the Yuzu margarita was delightful! The plates come when they are ready and I have to say the food came really quick! All of it was fantastic! Surprisingly the shredded vegetable salad was amazing and one of my favorite dishes! The tamarind glaze on the Chicken Karaage was not overpowering and so tasty. The service was amazing and the vibes of the restaurant were a lot of fun. The bathrooms were down the stairs and there was a little bar off to the side. Would definitely go back! I couldn't stop talking about it the next day to anyone that would listen.

Great food, although the salmon was not as fresh as I'd hoped... Appetizers were excellent... Fast…read moredelivery... However, the hostess was so focused on keeping nine empty tables for reservations yet we finished our dinner by the time those guests arrived and she put us next to the AC vent where it was extra hot with the outdoors of 90°F... That is, don't go if you don't have reservations.

Another great meal! Our server Brahim provided the perfect service: attentive, thoughtful, kind…read more Really enhanced our meal. For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

We arrived in San Antonio after an 11+ hour road trip from New Orleans. By 7 pm hubs wanted dinner…read moreas soon as we checked into our hotel. Checked Yelp for dinner suggestions so Doc drove us to the paid lot next to where all the Cinderella lit up carriages drawn by horses were lined up. It seemed the boats going up and down the River portion of the Walk were busier. While we were walking I had my eyes open for a table with a view. We stopped at Four Brothers. The receptionist went over suggestions on the menu on her outdoor podium. Cornbread in the shape of Texas, shareable items like Dino ribs for $82, plus Pork Shank and ice tea completed our order. Everyone was very friendly. We had an exceptional view and we had more than enough food that we had to ask for take out boxes. My favorite was the Mac & cheese though I'm usually not a fan. This dish used cork screw shaped pasta and it was moist and not stuck together. I had to share a photo of it with Sweetie who is in Tokyo right now. Doc liked the pimento for the cornbread. As it was almost 9 pm we decided to pass on the boat ride but just walk on the other side with shops and more eateries. We're back on the road again tomorrow to Arizona.
