    Pan Dulce

    If you don't like the food here I would bet that you probably think Taco Bell is gourmet. This is a great spot for good carne Asada, carnitas, tortillas and Pan Dulce.

    Pinatas!

    Someone told us about this little hole in the wall in a strip mall and it did not disappoint! We went there this weekend and this really nice lady made us breakfast for $7 a each. I think it's family owned. It was so...good. I got machaca and eggs and my husband got a carne asada burrito he said was awesome. Little Mexican market with all the good stuff you need, fresh pastries, fresh tortillas and some really good salsa. Will definitely be back!

    Terrible meat quality. Absolutely no marbling, or taste. Irony flavor & tuff. Would not recommend.

    Great local authentic TexMex food. I've had Menudo, Caldo De Res, and great Tacos. The restaurant is in a great location in NE San Antonio.

    Fantastic food! We love this place. Service is always quick and kind. Great local vibe!read more

    I was looking for a quick lunch spot on my way out of the valley to golf in Gold Canyon and saw…read morethis place on Yelp with the great reviews. Authentic Mexican food sounded perfect and I knew good things were in store when I arrived at 11:30am on a Friday and all of inside and outside tables were full. The inside is quaint but has quite a few tables. They also have tables out front in the shade (to call it patio seating may be a stretch, just simple tables and chairs on the exterior of the entrance). You order your food at the counter and I didn't study the menu ahead of time but the ladies taking my order were patient with me. I ordered a shredded beef taco and a cheese enchilada with rice and beans. Nothing fancy for my first time as it's hard to golf on a full stomach! I found the only open table and then hit up the salsa bar. They have 4 or 5 different salsas/hot sauces and a few other goodies. I got a small cup of each sauce and all of them were quite good. My food was colorful, flavorful and just the right away to give me some energy without being lethargic. I could go on about a few other nice things but it seems most of East Mesa already knows about this place given the high scores on Yelp from a lot of reviewers. Nothing to prevent me from giving a 5* review at this time. I look forward to trying some more dishes in the future.

    Well, I was craving Menudo and we were in east Mesa, so I convinced my family to come for lunch at…read morethis location. Only to be reminded by my kid that menudo is only on the weekend. Sooo annoying. Staffs were friendly and the decor is nice like the west Mesa location. Well tried something new, ordered birria ramen, taquitos, and chilaquiles pastor. Menu was little confusing because I thought it was extra for eggs on the birria but I guess its included. Never tried birria ramen so I was little skeptical. Well well, too my surprise, ramen birria was pretty tasty. Ramen quaily was little better than I expected, nice and chewy. Broth was tasty but definitely was not spicy. Dish also came with I guess tacos with melted cheese? Ate one and it was tasty. Eggs cooked perfect to my order. Taquitos was tasty but nothing special. Chilaquiles was tasty but pastor was little bit on the blend side but still tasty. I really like this place, can't go wrong with their food. I'm just bummed it was not the weekend. Guess I'll have to try again on the weekend.

    6/2/26 Short day, Late lunch OTW home…read more Parking 4/5 Arrived ~ 12:30. Always busy shared parking lot. Short two lap hunt and bingo. Atmosphere 5/5 This is my third visit. The vibe is modern Latin Fusion, light and bright. Modern contemporary wall pattern designs Art and logos are notable throughout. Table to ceiling windows let in a tremendous amount of natural light. Some say music sets the mood; well it surprised me today. It was almost like the couple fighting over which radio station to listen to. When it's playing I enjoy the Rumba Rhythms and similar beats but today was all over the place. Service 3/5 I'm being a bit generous with the 3. We were greeted quickly by the hostess who seated us immediately upon entering. The Resturant was after the "lunch rush" and appeared to be at about half capacity. Dispute this our server stopped occasionally hardly breaking stride to get an order twice because he couldn't stop long enough to get the orders properly. Same for refills. Food 5/5 I really looked forward to this revisit. Last time we had table neighbors who both got this delicious concoction of Latin inspired bowl with Birria taco, meat and Roman noodles. That was top of mind for this visit and included 3 skillet fried jalapeños. The food was amazing. The Birria bowl was built around some papas fetas, Birria broth with the roman well cooked in the broth. The bowl was topped with three Birria and cheese tacos which I removed to a side plate to enjoy separately. The bowl in also accompanied by fresh diced Onions and Cilantro. The dish and the fried jalapeños were fantastic. I definitely would have this again. Get your Fusion confusion on my Friends- SYOY!
