    Best place in San Antonio to have corn in a cup! Prices are phenomenal for the value. The variety…read moreof different flavors have left my taste buds sprawling with happiness. Not to mention the restaurant was very appealing to look at. If you want great service and great corn stop by!

Thanks to a Yelp event I was able to discover this hidden gem. I've been here TWICE since then to try a few different types and ALLLLLL of them have been BEYOND. We have tried the Beni, Jefa, traditional, hot Cheetos and my personal favorite the Ruffles. CREAMY, HOT CORN w/ savory ingredients. At this rate, you'd never get bored. They've been here 5 years and will definitely be on my weekly radar! Though a small cup could absolutely fill you up (priced around 5-5.50), I do recommend medium and large if 2+ are snacking. The cajeta's are pretty standard and so is the ice cream, but a good add on if you find the corn is too spicy. They do have certain cold treats that I'm hoping to try during my next few visits. The interior is CLEAN, pretty spacious for small parties and they have affordable catering options too! You can't go wrong having an elote party! (Just invite me too!) I've seen the owner in there every time I've been and he's SUPER kind and offers helpful recommendations based on what you want out of your treat. Don't sleep on this place, you are TRULY missing out.

    Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon with some friends visiting from New York.,…read more Food: Had chips with Guacamole as an appetizer. Very good guacamole! The Costeno Campechano in Maja form (encrusted with cheese) proved to be a flavor explosion that was unique and wonderful. Flavors started with the subtle cheese crust and then the spicy costeno campechano exploded with great spice and an almost chipotle roast!

    Wow! If I could give Tacos Don Manolito 10 stars I definitely would…read more Tacos Don Manolito (TDM) are authentic Mexican tacos from the center of the country (Mexico City/Puebla region). Here in Texas we usually only get Mexican food from the north part of Mexico, which sometimes ends up just being Tex-Mex food. However if you are wondering why these tacos are different from the north of Mexico? It is all in the ingredients. TDM serves meat like longaniza and cecina that are NOT served in the northern part of the country. These items are super rare to find and even if you find them, the quality is usually pretty bad. However TDM meat quality is outstanding which makes their tacos so flavorful and delicious. For my first time visiting I decided to keep it classic and only order tacos. I got one taco de cecina, another of cecina with longaniza and one arrachera. The cecina was exactly like the one I used to have back home with my family in Mexico City. Cecina is a salty meat so I recommend using their darker salsa (I think is from chile pasilla, but might be wrong) to help offset some of the saltiness and bring out new flavours. The longaniza was also delicious and not greasy at all. However my favorite taco was the arrachera. It was so full of flavour and I could have eaten like 10 of those and live happy for the rest of my life. Last but not least, TDM is not cheap. They are using high quality ingredients which obviously means more money. So if you are looking for some cheap tacos these are must definitely not it. However I think they are worth every penny!

When we got to the loop, the navigator showed it was still a little way to go. As we usually hop onto the loop must be the reason, we had never seen this place. The restaurant is in the back of a little shopping center. Since this was midday, the shopping center was packed. We actually had a hard time finding a parking space. We walked in and were greeted immediately. The space is much larger than it appears from outside. We were taken to our seats, and quickly had a waiter deliver water and menus. When Nicholas found out this was our first trip, he was excited to share his knowledge of his favorite things and make suggestions. While we were deciding, he brought us our chips and queso. We decided what we wanted, placed our orders, and started in on the chips, queso, and salsa. Both the queso and salsa were warm, and the chips were light and tasty. After our food was delivered, we talked with Nick some, and he suggested we come back in the evening as they had live entertainment. We enjoyed our food immensely and decided we would bring our daughter here this weekend as they are coming into town and love TexMex. Nick did a great job of keeping our glasses filled, the conversation going, and answering our questions. I can't say anything about the other waiters, buy if you get him, you will not be disappointed. Will I return? Definitely as we will be here this upcoming weekend:)
