Taco special
Felix G.

This is one of San Antonio's best keep secrets. Food the way you'd expect when you want true tex/mex and not the tourist trap spots that saturates this city and provides the mediocre to the unknowing. But now you know that Ruthie's has best breakfast tacos, papa con chorizo is on point carne a la mexicana was awesome and i even threw in some French toast just to see the range of this spot and it did not disappoint at all. Im definitely coming back here again and again. Now our servers Erica came at a bit of surprise to us. I remember growing up as a kid the city of San Antonio was quite friendly and when Erica came about, it was like i was transported back to the old days when people were warm and friendly and treated you like family even when we just met. Thank you Erica for showing us that people can still be nice in this city. Not like these punk kids millennials that have no character outside of social media. A wet mop is more useful than these POS kids that all you want to do is activate their dental records. In short... Ruthies is a new favorite of ours.

My favorite place to get my breakfast tacos and enchiladas. Ruthie's has the best customer service and the food is amazing. I feel like I'm at home when I eat at Ruthie's

We came a little after 8pm, pretty close to closing, and the grilled chicken was easily the…read morehighlight of the meal. 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.

This place was amazing. Every item we ordered was full of flavor and so delicious. The chicken was…read moreseasoned and cooked to perfection. The rice and beans were perfect. 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.
