Back again! I seriously love this place. Was craving some good meat for dinner & luckily this place stays open late. I got the 5 count mini corn tacos with pastor. Instead of the usual drive-thru we dined inside & they still had the salsa bar out. Tables were clean, chairs were clean. The guy who took our order was friendly & they were quick to give us our food. They have free water but if you want to pay extra for bottled they have that as well. Can't say enough good things about this place, but you must try! read more

Chicharron taco was not pleasing. The barbacoa taco was okay. Was kinda cold and cilantro was going bad. Had to pick out the black leaves. Next time I'll just try the enchiladas. Saw someone eating them and they looked good. read more

So happy we made a stop here. Their name says it all, they specialize in tacos! It's a tiny little place with indoor/ outdoor seating and a drive thru as well. We were starving so we went for the 5 mini corn tortilla taco pack each $9.99. A variety of meats to choose from - we ordered the chicken, carnitas, fajitas, al pastor, chicharron. Comes with grilled onions and chilis on the side. FYI the grilled chili is super spicy! They also have a self serve bar of packaged containers of condiments- chopped cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and salsas. We enjoyed the creamy salsa and avocado salsa. I enjoyed my Jamaica fresca, they also serve limonada, horchata, and melon. The melon was a little too sweet for me. We ordered a few more mini tacos in addition because we can, they are tiny snacks but filled with tasty meat : ) Great service, good food! read more

I love this spot. Everything on this menu is incredible. I'm grateful for the food that they cook and serve. Carnitas & pastor are perfection. The staff is incredibly friendly. And it's soo clean. What more could you ask for? read more

Came to this place as I wanted a taco place near my appointment. Looked at their website and it looked good. My son wanted soft tacos so we stopped there. My son ordered 3 flour tacos with beef, cheese, and sour cream only. I ordered a cheese quesadilla. When we got our food, my son got 3 street mini tacos not the normal size flour tacos and the sour cream looked and tasted like skim milk. He took one bite and asked me if I could trade with him since he did not like his tacos. He ate my cheese quesadilla and I only ate the half he took a bite off. I could not eat the rest because the cheese wasn't melted and the their version of sour cream is watery milk, basically. We ate what we could and threw away the rest. Not really impressed with this place and hardly think we'll come back. Clean dine-in Only one handicap parking by the entrance. read more

El Taco Grill - Soft tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The tortillas are buenas and the salsas are delicious. And let's be honest, any street taco is better than no street taco. The meat, however, was mediocre and the tortilla chips were stale. The staff was very nice. If you're in the area and want a taco it's not a bad choice. read more

Two stars because our food, ultimately, was quite good. However, the service issues were significant enough that we're unlikely to try again. We ordered online and off the menu, with no special requests or substitutions, so there should not have been any confusion. They ignored my requests for a refund. Ultimately it took them three remakes to get it right, during which time the place was basically empty-- it was so awkward that I had to tiptoe to the kitchen, knock, and stick my head around the corner to get help. We all thought our food tasted great but it took us over 2.5 hours from initial order to getting it home to eat. I left feeling like they didn't really understand what went wrong, and weren't going to bother to figure it out and fix it. read more

Hands down I don't think I've ever found a better Mexican restaurant. The staff always makes us feel welcome, the food is always fresh and delicious. The ambience in the restaurant is always above par. Will always pick El Taco!! read more

If you get frustrated living in Stone Oak because all the good taco joints are on the other side of town, quit moping around and get your butt to El Taco Grill. I got the Impossible Quesadilla and was asked at the drive through if I wanted a double. I couldn't resist so I ended up with 2 big quesadillas. I was one happy fat kid! They have a number of salsas and sauces to choose from and they are all good. This place is at the top of my list for solid Mexican food! Follow me on IG @cheatday_sa read more

If you are a foodie, come here. This place was ridiculously delicious. Although it's a little bit of a dive, the owner and staff could not have been more friendly. The food...oh my god. The food. I'm not going to lie...I am someone who frequently dreams about Mexican street food, and this place did NOT disappoint. I grew up in Texas, eating from Mexican food trucks, and this place is 100% up to my Mexican streetfood standards. The costra is pure foodie heaven, and the steak had SO MUCH flavor. The table of salsas and condiments was also a welcoming sight. There were many fun salsas to try, in addition to classic pico de gallo, cilantro, onions, lime wedges, and more. I love this place. I plan on coming back again and again. read more

You can't go wrong with this place. The food is awesome and the meat is so delicious. The portions are huge but the quality is even better. We routinely drive across town just for the chicharrón tacos (best in SA) and quesadillas. Friendly attentive service with a great salsa bar make this place worth the drive for us. read more

Excellent service and delicious tacos. I love that they had a outdoor patio, indoor dining, and a drive through!Highly recommend! read more

Had a strong craving for quesadillas but there are not many options in the Stone Oak area that offer a hearty quesadilla that will truly satisfy you. Decided to check this place out based on a number of reviews raving about the impossible quesadilla & it most certainly did not disappoint!! We went through the drive thru which was a major plus because we were having one of those 'lets run out in our pjs looking kinda crazy type of nights.' We ordered the double impossible quesadilla and 4 flour mini tacos - 2 chicken, 1 pastor & 1 carnitas. We each ate a quesadilla and I personally struggled to finish it because I was so full but forced it down anyway because it was that delicious. The quesadilla was stuffed with a healthy portion of meat and cheese that was cooked perfectly and 110% satisfied my craving. I only managed to nibble small bites of the meat from each mini taco just to try it & the carnitas and pastor were yummy but the chicken was very dry. That was the only disappointment of our meal but something they could easily fix if they wanted to. Regardless, my boyfriend did not let any food go to waste and enjoyed these enough to say he'd order them again. They included a generous amount of sauces, limes, onions & cilantro which perfectly complimented our meal. Their salsa verde was delicious and we tore through everything they gave us. There was a wait for our food which was completely ok by me because that means it's being made fresh. Sure enough, when we got home, everything was still hot. I was delighted to see that nothing got soggy either as I've definitely experienced a number of oily/greasy tacos in SA. This will definitely be our new go to spot when we are looking for some tacos & quesadillas. Check em out! read more

I went to El Taco Grill recently and it was pretty good! The only thing I wish, was for them to add more meat to the tacos. I felt like it was missing meat. Also, to have a spicier salsa option. The tacos were good, the tortilla wasn't crunchy or soggy, it was perfect! The Torta was so filling! I recommend it with fajita or al pastor! Their agua Frescas are so refreshing, and they did not taste like they were powdered! I'd definitely go back! read more

I ordered a torta and it was so delicious. My picture does not do it justice. The asada was very tasty and paired extremely well with the fresh avocado, cream, and cheese. The portions are huge and well worth the price. They also have a drive through and are open late, so super convenient all around. I highly recommend. read more

the food here is great- I love the al pastor and the thing that's basically a quesadilla made of cheese and meat. Make sure you ask for all the fixings from the salsa bar- it really makes the meal. I also love their hours- open late! read more

This place is a hidden gem. It's right next to a dry cleaners and you really can't see it unless you are looking for it. We decided to try it out and I was not disappointed. Authentic Northern Mexican food for all comforts. Everyone who ordered in our family enjoyed their meal. Good sized proportion and not holding back on the meat. Well seasoned and full of flavor. I would have never through that we would have a gem like this nested in Stone oak area. I suggest to give them a shot, you will not be disappointed. read more

After two solid days of thanksgiving food we needed a break. Thank goodness Yelp directed us to this little gem tucked away next to a cleaner. We would never have found this place if we didn't know where to look. Following the recommendations posted by others, we had the costra. We chose the al pastor for our meat. We also had the chicken street tacos. The meat was well seasoned and the corn tortillas had a nice texture. The tacos had no other toppings but the ample salsa bar had onion, cilantro, pineapple, and a variety of salsas. The costra was the best part of the meal, and I would highly recommend it for your first meal here. The Mexican Coke was a nice touch... gotta love the real sugar! We have recommended this spot to our family who lives locally... and we certainly will plan on coming back during our next trip to San Antonio. read more

The tacos are OK..prefer that they not mince the meat.. they loose the carne asada taste you get with street tacos. The beans and plain quesadilla is good and authentic. What will keep us from going back is how dirty the bathroom was. I have read several articles from chefs who say not to eat at a restaurant if the bathrooms are dirty because more than likely they are not maintaining a clean kitchen. Not coming back! read more

I tried the Costra with pastor and was awesome! I really enjoyed it! The only problem that I found is that I might have bought some more but, the young man who took our order was not helpful and kind of rude, so just got my stuff and leave the place, but I realized that he didn't even put some salsa or lemons inside of my order, it was to go by the way. Sad to find a nice place to eat after all this time of pandemia and people trying to go out. read more

The cashier and the chef both not wearing a mask I mean if u guys handle food please take care of your costumers We also had an upset stomach after eating here the costra is super greasy read more

A nice little spot in Stone Oak, good food, good people, good prices. They offer dine in, outdoor seating, and pickup (drive thru). There's a 15% discount right now for drive thru orders. I've been a couple of times and the food is so good every time. They offer a variety of meats for your tacos, tortas, quesadillas, or huaraches. In San Antonio, where you can get a taco just by throwing a rock in any direction, this one is worth the trip if you don't live nearby. read more

This is a really good place - kind of off the beat and path. But there are some very tasty Keto options here as long as you discard the tortillas. Very nice folks - hours are dinner only and open late on weekends. We will definitely return and I highly recommend it. read more

A whole in the wall joint. You don't expect anything and receive everything! I love their quesadillas, double the meat. The hamburguesa is fire, street tacos are A1 and staff are nice and inviting! Love the lil salsa and veggie bar to add to the food read more

Good food and friendly & super quick service. A little sad street tacos don't come with avocado (probably could've added it). 3 kinds of yummy salsa. Fountain drinks. Chips included for dine in. Also don't charge extra for paying with credit card. Overall good experience. read more

So confused on the reviews. The employees are so nice but the food was not as good as these reviews say. The only good one was the el pastor, the chicharrón and pork was questionable. read more

Let me preface by saying the food looks so good I forgot to take a picture I had the 10" quesadilla with Al Pastor and they are not stingy with the meat. The only place I've ever been to where they let you put as much pineapple as you want on an al pastor I was shocked. I also got a topo Chico and a chocolate Tres leches cake all this came out to under $20. The service was amazing super friendly, no rush smiling I didn't get the man's name. He was very kind. He happily explained the menu to me and offered some recommendations. Very cozy spot easy to miss, but please try it. They even have a drive-through inside was super clean bathroom super clean everything worked, everything was stocked and everything was fresh. Definitely gonna be getting my tacos from here on out. This place should have a line out the door. read more

Incredibly packages meal. I did not have to select any salsas or the onions, cilantro, and lime. They packaged it all and it gave such great variety to choose from. You get the choice of meat and can mix all 4 tacos as well as decide flour or corn. It is hard to find this diversity for street tacos when ordering online. I was incredibly impressed. The ingredients were fresh, delicious, and filling. The price was cheap and the delivery got here early. I will absolutely be ordering again! read more

The quesadilla experts! If you are real hungry grab the impossible, or feeling cheesy grab the costra. Suggestion- Menu is small and focuses on quesadillas/ tacosish. Let the family know before driving up looking for other traditional dishes. Moose Out read more

Our go to place for tacos. My husband gets the 5 mini tacos every time and he loves them. I've been ordering different items each time we come here and I have yet to be disappointed. I love that they give you limes, cilantro, onion and salsa to accommodate the food. The service is always nice and food is pretty fast. I wish they'd serve Molletes. I bet they'd be wonderful! read more

Just do it! It's all delicious. The staff is friendly and very appreciative. We always call in multiple things on the menu and take it to the family and we all share. Tacos, costras, papas, quesadillas, it's all great and the salsas are very tasty too. read more

Disappointing lunch. Dry tacos and boring quesadillas. Maybe I don't understand tacos with only meat and a tortilla? The meet was bland and I tried 4 kinds. It was taco truck food that fell way short. I really wanted tomatoes or guac or sour cream or something to provide moisture, but these were not options here. There is salsa toppings bar, but they didn't have a red mild-medium salsa as an option. Why is a supposed authentic Mexican place using mozzarella cheese?!! I'm also not a fan of being charged $1.95 for a can of Coke. I do not understand the high ratings for this place. Maybe they are from people who are eating here while drunk? The guy at the register said they have huge lines from midnight to 4 am. Whatever the appeal, it was missed on me. read more

This place is delicious! They are open super late and have a relatively simple menu! The staff is super welcoming and helpful. I LOVE the Costra with Pastor! It is basically a huge quesadilla but instead of a tortilla it's a huge cheese tortilla, amazing! Also the Gringo is really good! read more
