I had a fridge full of food at the office and a grill on the back patio of my building. Knowing all…read morethat, I didn't want my own cooking. I wanted to eat at a place I've never eaten at before. I've passed this place at least a hundred times on the way to my office and back home. It's tucked slightly off of Blanco road but within sight. This place would be my choice. They had three lunch specials available and I opted for the barbacoa mini tacos with comes with complimentary tea. I always feel better when I see a restaurant over half full with customers and I walked in about 11:15am with this place already three fourths full. How was the food? Seasoned perfectly. I added no salt, pepper or additional condiment. It needed no additional flavor which I consider a great testament to food. I ate all 5 mini tacos with gusto. I like how they serve complimentary tortilla chips to start and I loved their salsa brought to my table. Regarding the salsa, the food not the dance. Who did I see? Blue collar workers, friends meeting up for lunch, the locals and me, a small business owner. Shop small and give mom and pop businesses a chance. #startup #smallbiz #smallbusiness

I love their al carbon as it provides a great, crunch to contrast the nice juicy, moist fillings that are available. These pinche gorditas are like my kids; i cant pick a favorite. This time I had the chicharrón prensado, puerco en chile and choriqueso. All fantastic, all hot, all flavorfull and filling. The cafe de olla is also something you should not miss. Oh, and their limeade - all natural and refreshing. Gorditas and cafe de olla - what's not to like?

Really delicious food and coffee. The restaurant is small and busy and service is super friendly…read moreand fast. I started with the cafe de olla. It's so delicious and full of warm spices. However, it's incredibly sweet. After a bit, I wanted to cut the sweetness with regular coffee, but my refill was more. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, but I can't drink that much sugar back to back. Next time, I'll order the regular one as well. I ordered a rajas and cheese a la plancha. So good! Delicious, crispy, and filled with gooey cheese. It was amazing.

Tex-Mex food at it's finest. Service was great! Festive ambiance. Try the Chicken Milanesa!read more

I came to Pico de Gallo for lunch with a friend because it's literally a block away from the hotel…read more A short walk to here on a sunny day. The exterior was pretty. Interior was very festive. The waitstaff was wearing a traditional attired uniform. Since we are from out of town, I want my friend to try the San Antonio version of fajita. I ordered menudo as my usual weekend treat. He loved his food. I didn't. The soup was watered down and lacking texture. There were a lot of hominy. Because we both wanted corn tortillas, there was only one container. I don't know how many tortillas were given. I only had 2. He must be hungry. We looked around... umm... we didn't see any napkins. I pulled out my sanitizer and started to clean our hands. Well, I assume we can use the tablecloth to wipe our hands. My friend wanted to order some chips and salsa to go. I asked for some napkins. She came back and showed us the napkins were in the bag. What? What just happened?

Cool spot in a little shopping center offering good eats and dranks. It was our first time eating…read morea serious meal here and overall I'd rate it a B. The dranks are good, and the food is mostly good and has potential to be even more tasty. We started with the chips and guacamole, which was great, followed by a single El Pastor taco which was good but not great. The chicken enchilada Susa we are on point. They were pretty good. Overall, we'd go back to try some other items but we're not blown away on this visit.

Came over to this spot, as it was close by my hotel, and had some great reviews on tacos. I came in…read moreabout 30 minutes before close, the place was nice and clean. I reviewed over the menu and decided I wanted to go with the fajita beef tacos on corn, however, considering they were close to close, they were out, so I decided to go with the birria. I am glad they were out of the fajita steak, because the birria slapped! I ordered them togo so I could eat in my hotel, and my car smelled amazing for the short ride back. Firstly, the birria on it's on was super tender and really flavorful. Secondly, the homemade tortillas and the freshly grated cheese definitely elevated the dish, and then of course give me the works with the cilantro y onions! I asked for extra limes, bc I live for it. I took the first bite and just about demolished the first taco without the consome. It was great. But when I added the lime juice and took that first dunk in the consome, we were really onto something. The consome was so good, and it was nice and warm, and just filled my insides with a feeling I can't describe. Nothing like having a good home style soup to dip tacos in! Winner Winner, Birria Dinna!! haha Definitely will be back to try some of those other items!

Came with grilled sweet onions and sliced lime. Their complimentary condiment bar was on point! Great variety of salsas, veggies, herbs, peppers, and chips. My fave salsa is their creamy green- spicy and addicting! The charro beans were delicious- great flavor! Friendly service and great tacos Military discount offered.

The Barbacoa on maíz , bacon n egg and country ranchera w/egg are great. It's very busy in the AM and apparently the cool staff is more experienced. As for lunch and dinner, I have been here twice And both times the rice was crunchy( yea crunchy) and the last time I ordered the worst puffy taco I have ever had. It was jus a thick maíz tortilla and no where near puffy. It is also much slower later In the day so I guess that makes a difference. IN THE END this is the best breakfast in the area, I have tried them all.

Great vibes on a Saturday night. The service was good, we had a group of 6 with a baby. There was a…read moreparty in the back room, live music, and people on the dance floor. The queso was cheesy, pulley, gooey, and flavorful! Everything I could ask for with fluffy and soft flour tortillas. The chips and salsa were nothing to rave about, alongside the rice and beans. My enchiladas verdes were great! Nicely seasoned chicken with cheese on the inside. The salsa verde was much more desirable than the red salsa. I'd be back to try other items, but without a doubt getting the queso flameado again. Scrumptious!

We both started with a small margaritas thank goodness. I liked them. The wife likes them less sweet and more limey. The chips were excellent. Very crisp. Good salsa and queso. We both got dishes with crispy tacos. The taco shells were not crispy so we got another basket of chips and used those as shells. Nice place.
