Great tacos, great flavors and plenty of seating. Definitely worth a visit in San Antonio.

Spicy Beef Fajita Puffy Taco
Bailey H.

When it comes to iconic San Antonio eats, Henry's stands tall -- especially in the age-old debate of who makes the best puffy tacos in town. While Ray's has its loyal fans, I've got to say: Henry's spicy beef fajita taco is in a league of its own. The beef is consistently tender, perfectly marinated, and packs just the right amount of heat -- enough to wake up your taste buds without overwhelming them. It's the kind of spice that keeps you coming back for more. One of the standout features here is the unlimited chips and salsa bar, which is honestly worth a visit on its own. You'll find three different salsas, along with pickled and fresh jalapeños, lemon wedges, onions, and fresh pico de gallo -- everything you need to customize your plate just how you like it. Add to that the welcoming staff, who always greet you with a smile and are genuinely happy to chat, and you've got a place that feels like home. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Henry's is a must-visit stop for a true taste of San Antonio. Highly recommended

When I came to San Antonio for a trip, I definitely wanted to get puffy tacos since San Antonio is the home of the puffy tacos. I decided to try Henry's. The food came out super fast. The puffy shell was yummy and crispy. As for the filling, I wish there were more options. There were also hot crispy complementary chips and salsa. Cute little place for puffy tacos!

This place has been a staple for my entire life and per usual it didn't disappoint! Holiday lunch for Labor Day and it had a steady flow of people. Ordering was quick with friendly service. Always love the self serve all you can eat chips and salsa bar. The place had the same nostalgic feel I remember as a kid. Super cozy, food smells and tastes great too! Tortillas were to die for!

Service is always quick and friendly anytime I go. Food comes out delicious and fresh. Best puffy tacos in the city to me.

I'm not a huge fan of Tex Mex, but I wanted to give these a try while in San Antonio. We went at lunch time, and they have some great lunch specials. It was decently busy, but they are very efficient. I didn't wait long to order or get my food. They have a chips and salsa bar, which I love. Chips were nice and crispy. Salsas were pretty good and had some nice spice to them. I ordered the two puffy taco special - one with chicken and one with picadillo. It comes with rice and beans. I opted for no cheese, as it was just a basic shredded cheddar. The meat in both was ok, but more bland than I hoped. The puffy shells started out ok, but they get soggy quickly and start falling apart. The charro beans were actually my favorite part of the meal. Overall, I am glad I checked it out, but I don't need to go again. Friendly, fast, and decently priced, but just not my jam for tacos.

Henry's Puffy Tacos was #1 on my "Must Visit" list when we traveled to San Antonio, Texas. This was the first place we visited upon arriving in San Antonio. and this was the closest location to us. The exterior of the restaurant does not look extraordinary. The building appears rather ordinary and simple from the outside. Do not let that deter you from dining here because you'd be missing out. The interior of Henry's was nicer and very clean. We arrived at an odd time so there was hardly anyone else at the restaurant. Good for us because we did not have to wait long for our lunch/dinner meal to be ready. How were the Puffy Tacos? They tasted FANTASTIC!!! It did not disappoint. Love the fact that they met my expectations!! Actually, they probably exceeded what I expected. Seriously, they looked great and tasted even better. Every bite of those puffy, crispy, airy tacos was like an explosion of flavor. Absolutely worth going to San Antonio to indulge in some of Henry's puffy tacos!! Bon Appetit!!

Puffy spicy steak tacos
Stanley S.

Visiting San Antonio for a weekend trip and wanted to find something unique. Was given a rec for Rays/Henry's for the puffy tacos the city is known for. Tried the spicy beef puffy tacos and wasnt disappointed. The texture of the fried tortilla was great esp when served fresh and had a nice crunch and chew at the middle. The spicy steak was seasoned but not that spicy and slightly too well done for my taste. Definitely enjoyed my first puffy taco though and the location is decent for sit down with s second location for takeout only.

Menu along entrance wall.

Enjoy & prefer Henry's on Woodlawn rather than 410/Bandera. Woodlawn is run by the sister & the 2 brothers run 410/Bandrera location. Woodlawn is a bit off the tourist route much better for locals & has better prices for more value. Woodlawn is a much smaller building but same great quality food. Enjoyed their beef enchiladas. They include complimentary warm chips & 3 types of salsa. Before I've tried their beef, chicken & bean n cheese tacos. Their refried beans are wonderful. Today Mon 12/22/25 at 215pm stopped by & had their Original Enchurrito with carne guisada, refried beans in a large flour tortilla topped with enchilada sauce & melted cheese & was fabulous & huge portion. Lotta customers started coming in while I was eating. Their parking is a bit limited. They have a drive thru. I will be returning. Thank you Henry's Puffy daughter for serving great food.

Chili relleno, grilled.

I've know of the concept of a "puffy taco" for many years. It has been on my "to try" list for quite some time. Well this past weekend we found ourselves in San Antonio, and made a puffy taco a priority. A Yelp search gave Henry's high marks. Wow, I was expecting a taco stand in a parking lot. It probably was at one time. Not now. It is a spacious, well it, and air conditioned dining environment. Perfect on this hot Texas day. Our server, Ayden, was great. We let him know we were new to the concept. His knowledge of the menu, and the lunch specials, was very helpful. Thuy spotted something we don't see often, a grilled chili relleno. So we're set, puffy tacos and a chili relleno. Very impressed with both. We would dine here again in an instant... But there are other puffy tacos joints to try. Bottom line: So little time, so many options.

Always consistent great Mexican food and great service. The chips and salsa bar is amazing and the puffy tacos are out of this world.

Wow great service and clean environment. Staff very nice and helpful we heard this was the best place for puffy tacos. And they were right. Fast service and great tacos.

Amazing food. They deliver via DoorDash. My driver was very friendly. I haven't been to this location in ages so I can't speak to the ambiance. This food is just as good at the Bandera location's food.

Are these any different than the main location? Price? Taste? Presentation?

This is the original location, and the taste and price are very similar. It is a lot smaller, and in my opinion the bigger location has a nicer atmosphere.

Beautiful restaurant. Service is very good. Had ceviche, tuna al pastor, and the corn cakes. The…read morescallop ceviche was a bit bland but I like the crunchiness of the green apple. I didn't need extra fat from avocado after the corn cakes since it doesn't add much flavor to the dish. The corn cakes are good and I will order again but not as good as some other cornbread. It came with 2 cakes. One was undercooked and one has a crispy crust. The undercooked one was my favorite. It is more moist with soft in the middle. Tuna Al Pastor has a kick but nothing special. Tres Leches was beautiful. 4/5. I like the fresh fruits to cut down the sweetness. The cake was a bit in the dense side. The icing on top was thick. I wish it was a fluffy whip cream to cut down from all the sweetness. Overall it's still a better tres leches than other places in the area.

I uploaded the pictures of these restaurant last year but somehow didn't write a review. Wow …read more. So where do I begin. I still remember how tasteful everything was. It was probably our most favorite place that we ate while in San Antonio. The ambiance was great, beautifully decorated restaurant with great service. The cocktails were delicious so we had a few. The food was flavorful and unique. We had a wonderful dinner with my family at Carriqui.

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

Both my wife and I ordered breakfast plates--hers was the chorizo and egg and mine, huevos rancheros. The restaurant was empty besides one diner sitting outside with her dog and one family inside which should have been a red flag to stay away. My chorizo and potatoes were cold and my beans were not hot either. This was not like it had cooled down--cold. The ranchero sauce looked bad and all of the food on my plate had no flavor, no seasoning, literally no effort whatsoever. I had a bug crawl across my hand while we were there as well. She had the issue with her plate, food was not even warm. The tortillas were hot and tasted good so that was how I warmed up my food. Our waiter also decided that he would cross the street to go speak to a woman at the little outdoor patio restaurant across the street on the corner. Not kidding, he was there for at least five or ten minutes just talking to her. I have always wanted to try Tito's and wanted something new to us but I guarantee there is no way we will ever go back. We left hungry, disappointed and embarrassed by what we just went through.
