    Another Saturday, and the quest for delicious tacos and breakfast is again joined! Today, Marjan and I visited El Guacamole on Huebner, west of the Medical Center. The restaurant is found on a strip center, with parking fronting the establishment, with drive thru left of the entry as one might prefer. This is the third location for El Guacamole, this location open for some 6 months and counting. Entering, the restaurant is newly finished, neat, clean, featuring their grade of "A"/94 award, just left of the checkout counter. There are perhaps 12 tables centrally, with 6 bright orange booths along the right wall. We were warmly greeted, and we chose seating at booth. First order: coffee! Marjan was covetous of the unique cups brimming with pretty delicious coffee, a brand we had not known of: DeCoty, based in San Angelo, roasting their own beans and with distribution in San Antonio, Austin and Dallas. We are not fond of weak, watery coffee, so this cup of java hit the spot (as one previous reviewer also noted.) Marjan chose their iteration of Huevos Rancheros, this with over easy eggs, sliced potatoes and refried beans. The potatoes were well spiced, well cooked. The eggs were, well eggs, but in Marjan's opinion, the dish is hit or miss considering the ranchero sauce. This eaterie's sauce is more of a gentle puree, well seasoned...she considered this dish a hit! I chose tacos: chicken fajita and carne guisada, both on flour tortillas, both generously filled with the desired protein. The chicken was juicy and moist, well seasoned. We considered this one of the top three we had found in our quest for the best taco. But friends, the next taco, the carne guisada truly was the best we had found so far. Tender beef, but the sauce, the sauce was really to die for: well seasoned, with just a bit of spicy heat, the flavors just working to make this taco quite the winner. We sampled both flour and corn tortillas, finding their iterations of the staple enjoyable. I am fond of another dish: menudo. This restaurant offers menudo throughout the week, unlike most others offering only on weekends. I definitely plan a return for a bowl of this favored dish! We definitely recommend El Guacamole, with Marjan rating 5 origami boots. Enjoy yelpers, and please continue supporting local businesses!!

    I was hungry, the food was better than I expected. They failed to add the chips and salsa that I ordered in my Togo bag.

    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

    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.
