With no shortage of Mexican food in San Antonio, this place deserves your business. Here's what you can expect: friendly service, hot food brought to your table relatively quickly, delicious flavors, and great prices. We fed a group of 5 people (breakfast) for under $60 (before tip). Most of us had plates, but a couple people opted for breakfast tacos. Look, don't take my word for it, but I did hear two people say that "the tortillas are even better than HEB's tortillas," and if you're from around here, that's really saying something! What did I have? Their menu features a barbacoa and eggs plate and it was perfectly on point. Warning: the salsa is plentiful and it packs flavor and a kick, a stellar combination. read more

This place is an experience. A mix of depression and nostalgia. All upwardly mobile and successful raza come here to remember your humble roots. You will meet some gente that remind you of your tribe in the 60s and 70s. The really dirty front doors were the first sign maybe I should have concerns. The servers all have an air of being so busy and harried even though the raza clientele couldn't care less, sitting here like nothing else to do. It was like they were serving troops, not guests. The service skittish and my server did not bring me chips and salsa like the other tables received. She was that painted chola type that did it to be necia. I had the Enchildas Mexicanas with queso fresco which is the real reason I came. I am still trying to find a place that does them norteno style like in Monterrey. I am between a D+ and C- read more

Won't be going back here. They simply will not tell or show you how much your food costs on your ticket nor at the counter when they finally ring it up. I don't know about you but I don't buy a single thing no matter how big or small it is without knowing the price. Now if it's important to put a price on your menu that means you should follow through on the ticket at some point before you pa -it's even more important. I've been overcharged every last time, so I'm tired of it. San Antonio has a real issue thinking that it's just a quaint notion to let you know what you're REALLY paying. read more

O e of my favorite restaurants for lunch specials. Menudo is so tasty here! Homemade corn tortillas, the Sopes are huge with plenty of meat or chicken and lettuce, queso fresco and guacamole. Prices are very affordable here as well. Chips and salsa are very fresh as well. Haven't had a bad meal here yet . I love the quick turnaround time for food. read more

The food portions are pretty big here. Which is nice! Prices are good too! BUT the service here is SOOOOOO SLOW. Not only to get your order taken, but to get your food too. I joked that they went all the way to Mexico for the food. If you're not in a rush then the wait for the food is worth it. As for me; 15 minutes to barely have a drink order taken then another 10 to get a food order taken, plus another 15 minutes to get the food is pretty wild. read more

This is central San Antonio where the locals go. Simple plain atmosphere; not touristy; not trendy; just real authentic Mexican food. Let's put it this way, I was the only Gringo in the place! read more

My main review is on the Cashier names Betty, I've been there a few times and each time she is by far an unpleasant and rude person! She seems hateful to certain people and I cause I'm one! She ignores me and will hello others before me though I was first! Seems a little rude towards white people but that shows when she is so obvious! I tried and went back a few times to see if any different but she is the same nasty lady as always so no more for me! read more

Best extra crispy tripas in town, shoot, in Texas!!! I travel all around the country and have only tried tripas in Texas. I have only had good tripas, once a year when my uncle cooks them for my sister. Well my I laws brought us here and said they were the best. I have been here several times and have not been disappointed. I will continue to come and will bring anyone who wants to try them just to have an excuse to come back! read more

Mi Celayence - Tripa - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Very good food. Three out of the four tacos that I ordered were all a five star, the other was a three star. I ordered a Catne Guisda, Chilaquiles, Bean and Cheese, and a Papa Rabchera taco. First the tortillas were soft, not too thick, and cooked almost like mama's tortillas. The Carne Gusida was very tasty and the meat was very tender. The gravy was just thr right amount of thickness. The Chilaquiles taco was very good!! Crunchy chips, right amount of Pico degallo, and some good ole American Cheese, which blends well with the egg. The Bean and Cheese was good and the American Cheese makes it even better. The Papa Rabcheras taco was okay the potatoes seemed like they were boiled and not fried (I prefer fried potatoes) and the salsa was not spicy, but did have a heavy tomato flavor. Over all it was an okay taco. Nice friendly environmentamd service was good, good size tacos, and nicely filled. read more

Decent neighborhood tex mex restaurant in the Fredericksburg rd area. Stopped in for lunch before heading to the target area and enjoyed their lunch special chicken plate as it was plentiful. The rice. Beans, and tortillas were good, but the server had RBF and an attitude to match. read more

Who would imagine chilaquiles with shredded chicken? I didn't until now. This plate was the best breakfast I have had in years. Individually, each item was well seasoned and properly cooked. The potatoes were tasty and soft. I prefer crispy, but that is just my preference. read more

This is one of my favorite places to go for breakfast. The carne guisada is the best I've had and boy am I picky. I really don't eat it from anywhere else. The huevos rancheros are great and the Migas are yummy too. This restaurant uses American cheese so it's usually very cheesy and delicious. The service is good, the food doesn't take long but there are times of the day when the restaurant is packed and you will wait a bit, well worth it. The prices are pretty reasonable. The biggest thing I don't like about this restaurant is that they close at 3:30 and we can't go eat there at night. read more

I am not a fan. The place was hot and uncomfortable, please turn on A/C. The tacos were greasy and salty. I really went there for the Tripa tacos, but of course they did not have any at the time. read more

This place hits home style breakfast tacos on the mark!! Got me them Weenie w/Eggs along with that Chorizo and Eggs and boy that just takes you back in time when your moms gave you some breakfast tacos on Saturday mornings as you saw cartoons! 3 tacos for $3 and a taste that will make you smile. Can't beat that! read more

Wow! Only 3.5 stars? I've been eating here for years. The food is great Tex Mex. This is not a Jalisco style restaraunt. God bless Tex Mex. These types of restaurants are slowly disappearing as Jaliscos take over. It looks like a lot of the low reviews are around the time they moved from the old building next door into the larger building. I miss my hole in the wall older building. They were open for dinner also and my family ate there often. They eventually stopped dinner service. Regarding service. The place is usually packed and the servers are extremely busy but they are great. I think the delay in service is the kitchen. But the food is great and worth waiting for. There are few restaraunts where it is worth waiting. The food is consistent. They do have some server turnover as most restaraunts do so I cannot vouch for every server . Uva is usually at the register and sometimes she waits on tables. She is kind to everyone and she has been there since the old building. Pro tip: Go early and beat the crowds. read more

The steak was good so was the rice. The beans were a little bland, and the tortillas tasted like castor oil. The service was prompt. The wait for the food was forty minutes. read more

Good food but bad waitress service. We came in and two other parties were after us they sat down after we did. They got attended before we did and got there food way before we did. Our waiter never came another waiter took over our table and she even told us. Food took forever to come out i asked for management and nobody never came to our table. On top my husbands food was wrong they asked to take it back. I said it was ok we didnt want to take another 20 min to get his plate corrected. Our so called waiter was suppose to be luz she only came to charge figure. Not all waitreses are bad i can say Sandra is great regreat not waiting for one of her tables. read more

It's honestly my favorite Mexican restaurant. Let me tell you. This isn't no TEX MEX. this is straight up Mexican. All the waiters talk Spanish too, some talk in English but not all of them, they're so kind & patient though. It gets packed so sometimes so we have to wait for a good while but the wait is worth it when the food arrives I've been coming here since before they opened the new building. So I want to say about 6 years & I at least go every month sometimes every week. It's worth it. Breakfast specials start at 7am & end at 10am It's 3 tacos for 3.25$ including tax!! Lunch starts at 11am & ends at 2pm I believe 5.99$ including a sweet tea So their deals are a steal read more

PLEASE READ BEFORE ARRIVING: (only gave them a star because you need it before posting) This restaurant has horrible customer service. As we enter the restaurant there wasn't a sign posted, saying please wait to be seated or had a greeter. So we walked in without being address, so we found an available table and just sat down. After two waitresses had already seen us sitting down, a random guy asked, "Did you all sign in?" They made us get up. We just left. read more

One of my favorite authentic Tex-Mex restaurants in San Antonio. The food is tasty, the prices are low, the waitstaff is super friendly and there is always a nice ambiance. It's not fancy. It's puro San Antonio. read more

This restaurant is around the corner, so I usually order take out breakfast tacos. I've had dozens over the last year, and every order has been freshly prepared and with tasty tortillas and fillings. The new restaurant is about twice the size as before, can't speak for the service directly but they seem attentive to others while I wait for my tacos. read more

Our first waitress forgot about us and our second waitress forgot to put in our order. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The service was not good and after waiting over an hour for our food the waitress tells us they were going to remake our order. The funny thing is she saw us with no food on our table. After we told her how are they going to remake our order when we never got it in the first place. So if you want bad service go here. read more

The service was terrible! It took them forever to get a waitress and when we finally got a waitress she never came back to take our order. Then we got a 2nd waitress who got our order but never actually put the order in. We waited almost an hour when she came and handed us our ticket to pay even though we never got our food!!! Do not go there! The service sucks!! read more
