Crunchy tortillas for appetizer.
R C.

Something about this place's appetizer crunchy tortillas makes it stand out among all the ones I've tasted thus far. The dip was regular but the tortillas had an amazing flavor. I ordered Huevos Rancheros as I'm on a streak to taste as many unique Huevis Rancheros from different Mexican restaurants. What I had was just ordinary and nothing outstanding. I'll probably have it some place else. But I'll come back here to try out lunch and dinner. Corn tortillas were served fresh and hot. The place is casual with just ordinary ambience with music. It's not huge but presentable and hospitable. Place was packed for brunch. Place was clean.

Awesome place off the south reach of the Riverwalk. You have to get up near the CPS station near I-90. I had a cabrito, chicharron and machacodo tacos for a fat breakfast. Piping hot. So good!

Chilaquiles! Nowhere to be found in Los Angeles...
Sammy B.

Totally cool and authentic Mexican food. Chilaquiles and Chicharrones are nowhere to be found in LA, but made to perfection here. We tried the green sauce and found it to be just right. Most importantly, there was no cilantro anywhere, which is perfect because the wife is allergic to that stuff. Well done, folks!!!

San Antonio has a treasure just south of the King Willam District. La Barca recreates handmade tasty treats from my childhood. As a chef, I've had the pleasure of crafting all types of cuisine but my heat always returns to time tested venues like this one. I only have one photo to share as I was more interested in getting down than taking photos. I'll try and slow down next time I'm in town. The icing on the trip was that a female patron paid for our party of three without us knowing. I have to leave town tomorrow but I'll leave a bit of my heart here in San Anto. #Besos

Our last morning in San Antonio the honey wanted to try puffy tacos, so off to puffy taco-land we went! La Barca De Jalisco had some great food, and great service, but the puffy tacos were honestly a bit of a letdown for me. Especially since they were deep fried, which I hadn't been expecting. The meat within the taco, rice, and beans were mouthwatering and delicious, so overall it was a win - though I do have to say I enjoyed the soft tacos at La Villa more. But it was great to try the esteemed puffy taco, if not just to say I did it. I'd come back to La Barca De Jalisco, but probably not for the puffy taco.

Enchiladas verdes (special, $5.50) also came with 2 tortillas

We somehow have been missing out on this spot for years. It's rather small inside and it wasn't very busy when we went, but we arrived at kind of an odd time so we decided to go ahead and give it a try. I wasn't a huge fan of the salsa they served with the complimentary chips, but that's not that big of a deal. I ordered the enchiladas verdes which was on special for the days long with a few other options. I really enjoyed both the enchiladas and the refried beans, and the rice was just okay. I am really picky about Mexican rice though and it has to be pretty amazing for me to eat it. My whole plate along with 2 flour tortillas was only $4.99! My dining companion had the Gordita plate and asked for avocado instead of a meat filling, and they were happy to oblige with no up-charge (you will be surprised at how often we end up paying more for vegetarian options). This also came with rice and beans and 2 flour tortillas as well. Overall, the portions were hearty, the food was fresh and tasty, and the service was friendly. They had a sign posted that said you can buy 3 breakfast tacos for $2.50 (I'm pretty sure) and you can mix the tacos. What a steal! We will definitely be back!

Nice little spot just south of downtown. Great food. Great friendly service. Food came out piping hot and great tasting. Homemade tortillas were really soft and good.

After living in SA for two years, I can't believe that I am just now venturing out to try more taco places other than Taqueria Datapoint (still one of my favorites though!!) My friends and I had found this place on a website that had it listed as one of the top ten taco places in San Antonio - when you put that kind of title on a place, that's a tall order, so I definitely had high expectations, and thankfully - this place did not disappoint at all! It's so unassuming and had a hole-in-the-wall feel, not pretentious or anything, but the quality tacos that it delivers - worth the drive out to Southtown. I ordered two tacos - one of their carnitas and one of their breakfast tacos - chorizo and potatoes. one on flour tortilla and the other on corn. The meat was deliciously seasoned with the soft texture of the tortillas and the slight spiciness of the salsa - yummm. Definitely will be coming back for more tacos! Comes with complimentary chips and salsa. Has a small private parking lot. The building can be kind of confusing, but I think the main restaurant is on the first floor. They also recently extended their hours to include dinner service, so you won't be missing out if you're having a taco craving past 3PM anymore!

We ordered the half chicken ($11), and I was honestly surprised by how juicy and moist it still was inside. The outside had a wonderful smoky charcoal flavor, and the marinade was flavorful all the way through. It also came with rice, corn tortillas, red and green salsa, grilled jalapeño, lime, and grilled onion, so it was a really filling meal for the price. We also tried the Bean Burger ($9.79), which was a fun combination of a beef patty, refried beans, cheese, chipotle sauce, and pico de gallo. I enjoyed it, although I personally would have loved a thicker layer of beans. The green salsa was SO good that I ended up buying an extra container for about $5 to take home. The restaurant itself is very casual and no-frills, with a big charcoal grill that really adds to the atmosphere--you can see and smell the chicken cooking. It feels much more like a local neighborhood spot than a polished tourist restaurant. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Even though we arrived late, we never felt rushed, and our server checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed. I would absolutely come back for the chicken and green salsa.

The green sauce is my favorite so far of all the pollo asadas places I have tried so far in San Antonio area. The beef fajitas were another favorite. If you're looking for the best pollo asadas in the area; definitely give them a try.
