At first glance I was not impressed. Not a place I would want to eat at. HOWEVER. Their food was really good. I was thoroughly impressed and a bit sad I hadn't tried it sooner. Tacos were good. The quesadillas were good. Nothing was bad. Would definitely order from them again. Ambiance kind of sucks. The staff is great.
Recommend: Yes. Food: we ordered a TON of food! We had the quesadilla with Al Pastor, baked potato w/cheese, mini tacos with the chicken and with carne de bistec and agua fresca de Melón. Not too many ways you can mess up a baked potato. It was hot and the cheese melted nicely. The quesadilla with carne Al Pastor was delicious . The cheese to meat ration was perfect and the meat was flavorful. The minor tacos were good as well. Meat to tortilla ratio was perfect. I enjoyed the carne de bistec over the chicken . Both meats were seasoned well. There is a salsa bar with all the "fixing's" and I really enjoyed that the aguas frescas had free refills. Their agua de melón was my favorite. Very refreshing and perfect amount of sweetness. Service: You order at the counter and waitress brings food to table. Waitress was friendly and answered all my questions. Ambiance: Lots of seating, a few photo ops, music playing in the background.
I randomly discovered this place on Instagram. The one dollar tacos intrigued me to get up and go try. And boy am I glad I did! You can't beat one dollar tacos every Tuesday and Thursday, I've been here twice in the last month and they will see my face again lol. Food comes quick and fresh. Clean establishment. Friendly service. Plenty parking.
My absolute favorite part about this place was the watermelon Fresca, super fresh and delicious. The tacos were good. They weren't the best that I've ever had but they were really good and you could tell that the quality was good. I would just say I've had better tacos. I would still come back to this place.
I went on a Thursday for their $1 al pastor deal. Their cantaloupe aqua fresca was refreshing. We had to wait about an hour for six tacos which was frankly ridiculous if we did it because we were able to get a table and catch up with friends.
Went for $1 taco Thursday, but couldn't resist getting a papa. It was very, very good. I did get one al pastor taco and it was delicious with the red salsa, onions, and lime. I'd come back and get more tacos next time! One thing I did not like is the smell of whatever cleaning solution they use for the tables and floors. It was strong. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed.
Yesterday my boyfriend and I tried Taco 16th Street for the first time after seeing it on TikTok. We ordered two tortas, one al pastor and one bistec, both served with baked potatoes and all the fixings. The restaurant also had a toppings bar stocked with salsa, cilantro, onions, and jalapeños. We decided to try a cup of fideo, but unfortunately it tasted like it had been sitting out too long and had a burnt flavor. Even adding lime didn't help, though it might be better earlier in the day. The tortas, however, were excellent. I wasn't a fan of the bistec, but my boyfriend really enjoyed it. The al pastor was delicious and packed with flavor. For drinks, we had horchata and agua de melón. The horchata missed the mark, but the agua de melón was refreshing and hit the spot. Overall, we'd definitely go back to try other plates on the menu.
OfCOURSE I recommend Taco 16th Street. What a delicious place to eat! It's spacious and welcoming and seems like it would be great for larger parties and bigger dinners with the whole family. The menu is similar to what taco enthusiasts have come to know and love with the added bonus of a condiment bar in the middle of the dining area to get all the sauces and dressing your heart desires. I was a fan of the spicier poblano pepper and chile sauces myself. I ordered the quesadilla with double steak portion which hit the spot perfectly and drank a jarritos, as one does in times of such excellent food.
Everything on their menu is excellent! I'm a huge fan of their Mexican Style Hot Dogs and you haven't lived until you try their delicious Alambre Style Hot Dog. They also have $1.00 Al Pastor Taquitos every Tuesday & Thursday and thats definitely a deal in these times. The location is huge and there is plenty of room for parties and get togethers! Highly recommend San Antonio!
Found this place on accident. Me and a friend were just trying to cut through the parking lot when the window sign caught our eye. So glad we parked and came in. The staff were amazing and the inside is cute and comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious. I got the chicken quesadilla. The chicken was juicy and they did not skimp on the chicken. My friend got the baked potato with al pastor and when I say that was a huge potato it was a huge potato. The meat was well seasoned and juicy. Had the perfect amount of cheese and butter. We will def be returning. They have a $1 tacos on Tuesday and Thursday as well.
Everything was pretty good. Meat well done, well seasoned. Also, the pineapples should be on the side. Too much cheese on the baked potato. Maybe you should add cheese then some on the side to be added if needed. No kid menu, which sucked. Cause my 6 year old doesn't eat like a grown up. Service was great. Cashier was sweet and patient. She served us as well and was nice. The vibe was great. Very nice place, lots of space. I like how they cater.
Okay, I fully admit to having unusual tastes. My second favorite food out of all the offerings of the world is tripas. I have loved them ever since I tried them at the local BBQ in Waelder, Texas. Since then I have eaten them whenever I see them on a menu. But, sometimes, I get a craving for them. Today was one of those days. I went on the DoorDash app and did a search on the word tripas. It came up with a plethora of Mexican restaurants in my area. I scrolled through them until I saw the picture for the Super Tripas Plate at Taco 16th Street Northwest. They looked really good, so I decided to take a chance and order them. Thirty minutes later, they were at my door. I was amazed by what I saw when I took the foil off the plate. There was a large pile of tripas topped in a white cheese, an equally large pile of caramelized grilled onions, a small pot of refried beans, a scoop of guacamole, 5 street-sized corn tortillas, and two different containers of salsa. I put a little bit of everything on the tortillas. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the flavors of the two salsas. It was the perfect tripas dinner. I can't wait to tell my son about it and order it again. read more
Came in for their $1 Taco Tuesdays for Alpastor and man was it great! It wasn't to busy yet and the tacos were packed with flavor and tasted fresh. Looks like they've done a bit of renovation since I last came in and my lovely and I had a great cheap date for $12 plus tax, unheard of anymore. read more
This is a great casual spot, clean, and quick service even when it's crowded. I come here regularly for their $1 Al Pastor taco special on Tues/Thursdays and have yet to try other things on the menu. You order, are given a number, seat yourself, and your food is brought to you. I've also done takeout and they're just as quick at wrapping it up for you. There's a self-serve station with their salsas, cilantro, cabbage, limes, etc. which they keep clean and refill it quickly when some things are running low. They don't have water cups, only bottled water for purchase if you're not a soda/fountain drink person, so keep that in mind. The tacos taste amazing and are a great deal! read more

It's difficult to find a good taco spot in San Antonio especially if you're looking for a good tasting carne asada style taco. The waitress/manager/owner was kind enough to let my family try all the meats before we purchased I thought that was amazing customer experience. I will be returning read more

I decided to bring my family here after roller skating. I had two little boys and a grown man who were hangry- We were starving! It didn't look too busy so we thought our MINI tacos would come out fast but it took about 30 min!!! While we waited more people came in and then they stopped the orders! I couldn't order more food! The 4 mini tacos I had weren't enough lol The salsa bar was ok. Not a lot of options but the green salsa was good. Will I be back? I doubt it. read more
It was great to have a street taco location close to home. The menu wasn't overly saturated with items so they could specialize on tacos and quesadillas. There are about 4-5 different meats you can have with your tacos. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff is friendly, efficient, and helpful. The food came out quickly and there's a salsa bar for toppings. I loved this because I don't like a lot on my tacos. The space is large with a lot of places to sit. In the Texas heat, they need to make it much cooler in the restaurant. I could only be there for a short amount of time before I got too warm. Nice addition to the neighborhood; definitely recommend. read more
Second time trying this spot. The service is very fast and the workers are friendly. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they have $1 al pastor tacos and there isn't a set minimum or max like lots of spots. The have a self serve salsa bar with the fixings, when we went there was only two salsas available and the lines and other stuff was running really low but I'm sure they will restock when brought to their attention. My bf got some Fideo and a quesadilla, which was stuffed, yummy. read more

When we went it was a regular Monday and not too packed. The menu is VERY simple and good but as a fellow taco truck lover I just couldn't get myself to love this place more given the smaller portions and price compared to other places. Loved the veggie & salsa bar tho! read more

I guess i should have read the reviews. Saw this place on TikTok so it had to be good right? WRONG. You can tell this place has no vibe. The cashier was nice and gave her recommendations. The alambre just lacked authenticity. The street tacos Al Pastor were so dry. Fideo came when we were all done eating and it was so hot we couldn't even eat it. As for the supreme burger the only good thing on that plate was the bake potato. I'd give the potato 5 stars. The agua frescas are not made from scratch and you can taste the gritty powder. If your looking for REAL street taco flare go to Ay Arandas on Culebra Rd. Not going back or recommending this place. read more

I love coming here on Tuesdays and Thursdays for their $1 Taco al Pastor deal. They have plenty of seating and a great condiment bar. They have a variety of Mexican sodas and beers available as well as fountain sodas and Agua Frescas with unlimited refills. Service is always quick. read more

They need to update their descriptions on door dash. My husband ordered a bistec burrito and I ordered a bistec quesadilla. A couple bites in I remembered door dash has a way different description. On door dash it included a lot of fixings. Very disappointed with the false advertisement. read more

Portions were very small, the whole table thought the food was bland and overpriced. We ordered papa asadas on the side with meat as an extra charge and the portions were tiny! The mini tacos themselves weren't even double tortilla, just single. The tortas looked big, but lacked in flavor. We thought the al pastor would be cooked with the pineapple, but it wasn't. It was just thrown on top. I really wanted to like this place so I was disappointed. The only tasting things they had were their salsas and drinks which were self service. read more

I'm surprised this place doesn't have better reviews overall. I was greeted by very happy people. Big smiles made me feel right at home. Places open stations by store is good tasting made on the trumo. But wait that's not all I ordered a Thon and it came with a baked potato. Everything was like $11 then they have our Fresca lemonade hochata unlimited refills with your regular soda. But wait, there's still more you have a limited jalapeños and salsa at their salsa bar, and the jalapeños are grilled not just dumped in vinegar.. have sports on several TVs places. A good size food is great. Lots of flavor I'll be back. read more

This place was one my favorite and memorable place I ate while visiting the area. My friend recommended it as she found it recently as well. I tried their Al pastor and bistec tacos. My friends had the hot dog and quesadilla. Both looked amazing. My friend who's been here a few times has tried the baked potato. Basically everything is amazing and you can't go wrong. There's an area where you can put what you want with your meal, like onions, cilantro, etc. Definitely try their house drinks. Amazing. Can't wait to return. They also have two cute spots for some fun photos as well! Bathrooms are clean and easy parking. Another thing to note is they are very lovely and kind. Love it! read more
I found this place on an IG post and just had to give it a try! As a native California I have searched far and wide for authentic street tacos. Everywhere is Tex-Mex and I have had no luck UNTIL NOW! I ordered 6 bistec tacos and was given a free alambre taco for Being a new customer. Now the Bristec was good but the Alambre was amazing !! It's like a cheesesteak taco! After trying it I was tempted to buy 6 more ! They have an open toppings bar which I appreciate because I can grab all the salsa and lemons I want without judgement . All in all the food is amazing and the service is great! I can't wait to go back and try other things on their menu read more
