Tried Fidelo's Mexican Restaurant and it did not disappoint. First off --The tortillas were so good -- fresh and homemade. The breakfast tacos are on point here and full of flavor. One of the best carne guisada with cheese tacos in town, in my opinion. The chorizo and egg taco and pork chop tacos were also perfectly made. Their green salsa was soo delicious and spicy, paired perfectly with the tacos. The menudo was tasty and very clean, not fatty. The oatmeal was also delicious . Service was super friendly and quick, which is always a plus. Solid food, good vibes, and definitely a place I'll be coming back to. I definitely want to come back and try the barbacoa. The table next to us ordered it and it came out on a sizzling skillet and smelled amazing. read more

Wow. If you are looking for a taco that feels like a warm hug from grandma... this is your spot. Everything is homemade -- corn or flour tortillas. It's self seating and everybody greets you with warmth and a smile. We waited less than 30 seconds to be waited on and the food took less than 5 minutes. It's a relaxed feel and you are treated like family. The flavors in the tacos!!!! Oh. My. Goodness. They'll see us again and again and again. read more

Although I love their puffy tacos, today I opted for the daily Cheese Enchilada special. I'm not particular about the cheese, but these were with cheddar. I love their rice and the beans were good too. The salsa that comes with the chips is good and very cilantro forward, which I like. The roasted salsa was really good on my enchiladas. I am a gringo and knew better than to try the green. The tortillas are perfectly soft and delicious. The service is always on point and it's usually crowded for lunch. Nothing fancy, but all good! read more

This place has long been a family favorite. The food is always consistent and the service is equally good. Their pork chop and bean taco is stuffed to the brim. Plus the tacos are on homemade tortillas and they're much larger than the average tortilla you find anywhere else. The charro beans are another absolute favorite of mine! The enchiladas verdes are stuffed with chicken and their verse sauce is perfect. This is another long standing favorite. I'm sure over than last 20 yrs I've had just about everything on their menu at some point or another. They are always packed but if you want to find a table on the weekends, I suggest arriving before 10am, after 10am you usually have to wait for a table to open as the crowds really pour in! read more

Flour tortillas were big and amazing. My break fast plate was great, service was great, I would definitely go back!

My husband and I went for the first time to try that place. I ordered some oatmeal and it wasn't fully cooked. Then I requested a cup to go for some coffee and then lid had some lipstick stain. My husband ordered two tacos and on one of them . They forgot to add the egg. Never going there again!!!. read more

Excellent service at 6 am. I had the huevos rancheros with carne guisada, not the best carne guisada- Maria's Cafe, and Garcias are a little better. Tender, flavorful carne , a delicious ranchero sauce and the tortillas are awesome. read more

Fidelos Mexican Restaurant - Milanesa Plate Special - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Excellent breakfast tacos, always delicious and plentiful, Id say the best Mexican food on this side of town hands down.

Enchilada plate was ok but I have tasted better and my wife said her meat tasted like it was off. It could use more seasoning! Oh and the kicker is if you use a credit or debit card they will charge an extra $2 on top of your bill so I guess they prefer cash!! The waitress we had only checked up on us one time we were there we had to flag her down to get the ticket. read more

Amazing service! The Staff are very experienced and polite. The food to me is outstanding! The best carne guisda in town bar none.

Everything tastes amazing, just remember to add salt. The best breakfast taco is eggs and Chicharron, because the chicharron is crispy. Amazing service in a cute little hole in the wall. read more

When you spend your childhood in S. Texas, then move to spend your formative years in Austin, the search for the best tacos begins. Can't say I ever found them in Austin, but I do wonder why I didn't move to San Antonio sooner. These tortillas are top tier; they seriously don't get any better than this. Seriously. The tacos are huge and packed with goodness. I'm always apprehensive to order tacos with eggs because it triggers me to get over cooked scrambled eggs. So I went with a bean and cheese and a potato and chorizo. Both were super tasty, but the chorizo and potato was a little under seasoned. Now, barely pictured is the chilaquiles taco. I had one bite and died and went to heaven. That answers the question about ordering egg tacos here. Next time, that's what I'm getting. I sampled the chicharrones which were also pretty epic. I'm a sucker for diner coffee. Somehow they usually seem to be delicious and underrated and so simple. This one did not disappoint. It was a great cup of coffee. 10/10! read more

Fidelos Mexican Restaurant - Breakfast tacos to knock your socks off! - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

First time coming here for lunch. Staff was friendly and polite. Ordered mole pollo lunch special. My husband had the Fidelos special that came with enchiladas, carne asada, rice, beans and guacamole salad and pico de gallo. The food was delicious and fresh. The tortillas were excellent so were the chips and salsa.Tea came with the special and it was fresh and good. Lupita our waitress was very attentive and friendly. The place is small but clean. We will definitely go back. read more

The place is very disorganized. We waited for a table for at least five minutes, then the people behind us that came in knew the waitress (she ran up to them and gave them a hug). She then gives them the table that should have been ours. We were both party of 2. They then sat us at a table with two other people we didn't know. Space was small another waitress kept brushing up against me because of limited space. read more

It's like any other Mexican restaurant. Nothing special, what you see is what you get. Not in a bad way just middle of the road. Service is good. I drove there because of the ratings to see if it was better than the restaurant by my house and it's the same. read more

This is our Sunday morning breakfast most weekends. Our regular waitress, Indy knows our order and most importantly that my husband does not want cilantro on his food. All the servers work well together and the owner is often around for support as well. Friendly staff and great food. The menudo is my favorite of any of our visited restaurants. They have fluffy tortillas. I never can leave them behind! We also order takeout and enjoy the food at home. We really love this little place. read more

During our visit this morning I ordered two tacos one country and sausage also Chicagon with salsa. I was biting into it a stringy thing i spoke with the server she stated it was cilantro fiber. I know it was a Grey hair and the manger said the same. So no resolution done so becarful what you eat read more

I drove by this place for three years and never stopped because it has a very small bumpy rocky parking lot. Once day I chose to go in and it was the best decision ever. Now I visit every chance I get. Great food and excellent flour tortillas. read more

Started out well with fresh, sturdy crispy house made chips, a tasty mild San Antonio style red salsa, and freshly made ice tea. Friendly service that was quick despite the lunch crush. The restaurant was clean, tidy and in good repair, as well. They have daily lunch specials in addition to the extensive menu. I ordered chicken mole enchiladas. Came out fast. Plenty of food. The mole was rich, complex, and deeply flavorful with a slightly smoky overtone. The dark meat chicken filling was tender and moist. The refried beans were top notch, the rice was solid, and the house made tortillas were a thing of wonder. Highly recommended. read more

Great food, our waitress was wonderful! Had a sample of their Menudo and it was delicious! Will definitely order next visit!

Tried on a whim and it's one of the best tex Mex spots around the area. Great all around

Excellent service, delicious food and a great atmosphere. We are here at least once a week and sometimes twice a week. Anyone who visits us this is our go to for Mexican food. Enchiladas Verdes phenomenal! Chicken fajita taco is perfect! The mole is very good and that comes from my friend Ruben . I don't have a clue what it should taste like . They have excellent salsas. The breakfast tacos are stuffed in the softest tortillas-- they are amazing. I can't say good enough about Fidelos. They never disappoint! Please please please Support small local businesses! read more

Don't let parking lot fool you, if you are craving tasty, filling, Mexican breakfast than this is the place to go! Chips and salsa: chips served warm and salsa was spicy, the way salsa should be. Menudo: served in both small and large bowls (i don't think i would have been able to finish the large bowl tbh) with limes, chopped onions and chopped jalapeños. Your choice of flour or corn tortillas. And let me just say, the flour tortillas are Huevos Rancheros with a pork chop: Served on a large plate, oh boy, this place taste was amazing! It reminded me of mom's breakfast. The only unfortunate thing about it, was that I wasn't able to finish it. In the tone of Terminator, "I'll be back= read more

Brooo been coming to Fidelos for 7 years I have yet to go to another place in San Antonio that tops there tacos and food! I got no pics because that is how good this place it, I be out here diving into my food! Barbacoa taco slaps, bean and cheese slaps, ham and egg slaps, all the classic tacos slap! Brooo the salsas, the salsa quemada that's my fav high key it just adds a good flavor to it! The price is chefs kiss too, trying to eat out in this economy crazy, but Fidelos got you, especially when you pay cash. I almost don't want to post this and gate keep because I loveee this place but nha the world needs to know about the deliciousness of this place! Service top notch they are fast and great at what they do. 10/10 ambiance, good vibes overall! read more

A hole in the wall that is definitely worth the stop. Service is great. The puffy tacos are a perfect blend of crisp and soft, without being soggy. The chicken has a great flavor. read more

I pretty much live here on weekends (it'd be more often if I worked in SA). The food here is so damn incredible that's it's our default breakfast spot (they serve breakfast from open to close) regardless of what time we roll out of bed and head over here. We could come at 130pm and still order breakfast. I have yet to find another place that makes better homemade flour AND corn tortillas. There's still time for you if you haven't made it here. Don't miss out. Get on the Fidelo's train. read more

My first visit to Fidelos Mexican restaurant. I was there at opening at 5am and already had some costumer's. We were greeted the moment that we sat down at a clean Restaurant. I already knew that I was going to order the large bowl of menudo. My friend ordered the Heuvos Ranchero with a small menudo bowl. Every waitress were beautiful and polite also, were very knowledgeable of the restaurant. Unfortunately the Menudo was not fresh and definitely not a leftover in which can be just as good as a fresh batch. You can smell the spices before you can sip the juice. It seemed water down. Not tasty and no breakfast of champions KICK! read more

Very tasty food, don't let the dirt parking lot fool you.. place is always full. Weekends is a challenge getting in, but worth the wait. My go to place! read more

This was my second time in 6 weeks that I ordered breakfast tacos. The first time I ordered tacos for the office the tacos were terrible. Weeks later I thought I would try again, it was the same result. Both times I called in the orders and picked up before 7am (they open at 5a). Both times the tacos were awful! I cannot help but think they use leftover cooked eggs from the day before. I only gave them two stars because I usually have a good experience dining in. However, I will not be ordering tacos for pickup in early hours since that's when they are ridding the place rid of the previous days eggs. The restaurant is usually empty at this time, btw. Wish I had taken a pic but I was so bothered and it went in the trash quickly! read more

Strictly a locals joint with legit Tex-Mex flavor. Beans refried with bacon drippings, soft and fluffy flour tortillas. What else can I say? Delicious. Fast and courteous service. Complimentary chips and salsa. read more

Been here before I was Yelp, but haven't been here in awhile. So I had a friend come into town for the weekend, and he always goes to this place. I was so glad that we came here, now I get to do my review on this place. This place is a great hole in the wall restaurant, the only issue I have here is the parking lot is tore up pretty bad. So drive in at slowly, and I didn't see a designated handicap spot. There a few good spots in front of the restaurant, but this place fills up fast. I went for breakfast, and I had two tacos, I had a carne guisada with cheese, on a flour tortilla. Homemade flour tortilla. No need for salsa, had a great taste and the meat was tender. The second taco was a barbacoa on a corn tortilla, also homemade. I'm not much on corn tortillas, but these are very big and delicious. I did add a little bit of salt and green salsa to this taco, out of habit. This taco was all meat, no fat. We decided at the last minute to come back for a late lunch on Sunday for a birthday lunch. I got the fresh squeezed lemonade, and it is awesome. No free refills, and I got two extra refills. Delicious. We also got the queso. For the birthday boy. I got the Fidelo's special, I can't really give this a great review, it was alright, but I filled up on the queso and lemonade. Hate it when I do that. My wife had the big burrito, she tore it up, no pictures of the aftermath. read more

This is an update to my previous post. I mentioned there were police cars there. I meant that they the police were eating there. Not that there was any trouble. I've found that it the police are there it's a good thing. The cops know the neighborhood and of course the good places to eat. This place is totally safe and the food is delicious. There's lots of parking and the service is excellent. It's not a fancy place but I'm going for the excellent food. read more

Fidelos Mexican Restaurant - Not accurate - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

still one of our favorite breakfast spots. Food is so good! Barbacoa is lean yet flavorful. The flour tortillas are my favorite.

With inflation and the cost of all going through the roof, this hidden gem has maintained its quality and quantity albeit a tad higher. The homemade flour tortillas are to die for! Service is always very pleasant and food is excellent! Hidden away in a strip center it's one of the better Tex Mex restaurants around! read more
