One of the best restaurants on the Westside. Variety of menu options. Customer Service is top notch.

I hope this saves someone a little grief. This place is closed. I was here on a business trip and this place had some great food pictures. But sad face upon arrival. read more

La Calavera Garbancera - An official notice - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This is a hidden gem on the west side of San Antonio. It is a small establishment with a few parking spots up front and more in the back. There is even a setup for drive through. The decor is traditional Mexican cutlery. Everything was amazing and colorful The food was amazing and filling. We ordered the Tortas thinking of small portions but it filled the plate and my 6'3" 15 year old didnt finished his. And he is always hungry. The food came hot and promptly. We did go at a low time but we expect the same service when full. Our hostess would constanly check on us and fulfill all our requests. (Glass of ice, refill jug of water, different tortillas, and more) The price is a bit higher but the portions are big and the flavor is amazing. I am glad I tried something new. When I see an establishment serve Menudo, that is my go to. But I wanted to give this place a try and I am not disappointed. I 100% recommend this place and am already trying to find when to come back. read more

Service was good. The decor is nice. It is too expensive and not tasty. 70$ plus tip for two micheladas, a plate of taquitos and a torta ahogada is outrageous. read more

No one answers the phone. Goes straight to VM. People are asking why its closed within business hours. Fb still has an active page.

Don't judge a book by its cover. From the outside, the outside is very misleading to what's inside. The inside is full of the typical Mexican restaurant. Handmade furniture, bright and colorful artwork, artisanal clay dishes, and beautiful food. Went on a west side pilgrimage for tortillas and decided to stop by here for menudo. The flavors were spot onto what I've had previously. My gf had the breakfast taco with a tortilla made in-house which was pretty tasty too. The tortillas are huge! The waitress also gave us this interesting sausage app which they cut to look like an octopus which was really interesting. The sauce that it comes with was delicious too! They also have karaoke so I'd def come checkout on a weekend night. read more

I work a block away and have been wanting to try this place since they opened. I finally went in to order tacos to go before work. The cashier was extremely friendly and patient while I decided what I wanted to try. The inside of the place looked extremely inviting and vibes were vibing. They did not have carne guisada or picadillo. Not sure if it was just that day or they just dont carry those items. I ended up ordering bacon and egg, chorizo and potato, and a bean n chorizo with bacon. These tacos were huge and packed! All 3 tacos were really good and flavor was on point! I will definitely be going back to try more of their menu. read more

La Calavera Garbancera - Chorizo, bean, bacon taco - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Portions are huge--we left completely stuffed! The potato and egg tacos were packed and the house-made flour tortillas were delicious. We also had the carnitas kekas, which were good, though the green sauce is pretty strong on lime and cilantro. The torta posada was the highlight--super tasty--and it came with crispy, crunchy fries. read more

This traditional Mexican restaurant is a hidden gem. I ordered a lonche with pulled pork, and it was absolutely delicious--fresh bread, tender and flavorful pork, perfectly seasoned ingredients, and generous portions. What really made it stand out was the hot sauce: full of flavor with just the right amount of heat, not overpowering but incredibly tasty. You can tell everything is made with care and authentic flavors. If you're craving real Mexican food done right, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Food is amazing! First time coming here and it was so enjoyable, the ambiance, customer service and of course the food is top notch. We had chips, guacamole, salsa (red is the best), and ordered a tostada with fish and shrimp ceviche to share as an appetizer and it was nicely done and fresh. The mango Fresca is delicious and not too sweet, we both ordered tortas mine Garbancera (pictured) is a party in your mouth. My boyfriend ordered the and said that the bbq sauce completed the torta with the salty and sweet flavors. We'll be back for breakfast bc the menu is fire. read more

Found a jewel of a restaurant that everyone should try. The food is not tex-mex. There is zero rice and beans. The food is more similar to how food is ordered in Mexico. Absolutely beautiful decor, murals and romantic lighting. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. The hot dog appetizer was complimentary and came with a sauce and three salsas. I recommend the red. I ordered quesabirria in corn with tender shredded beef. I dipped my tacos in the consumé and when I finished I put the fresh chopped veggies in and had the best soup. What an amazing restaurant to experience true Mexican cuisine. read more

I'm not one to leave reviews, but this place was AMAZING. We walked in thinking we had a reservation, but it turned out we didn't however, the place was empty so we were wondering why... nevertheless, we decided to stay. As soon as we looked at the menu, we were sold; everything from the drinks to the tortas to the seafood looked delicious. We order different plates so we could share and taste a bit of everything and let me tell you, We WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED it was delicious. The place itself was super cute, definitely a cultural experience, the service was also good but the food was definitely what sealed the deal it, however I must warn you Do not order the tortas if you are not ready to have a party of flavors in your mouth! I will definitely be returning! read more

One of the best authentic Mexican places I've ever been too. From the Cafe De Olla to the Tortas. Everything was top tier quality food for the most decent prices. The service was amazing every single person there was hands on deck and extremely attentive and knowledgeable as well as kind. They really made the place feel like your grandmas house in Mexico at least that's what it reminded me of. The place was beautiful and clean and peaceful. Can't wait to try their drink menu the next time I am back in town. read more
