Food truck
Rosa G.

This is my go-to truck for street tacos because they're consistently delicious and quick. I keep cash on hand mainly so I could get these tacos at any time! All of the tacos are fantastic-- the asada and al pastor are my favorites.

Nicely light truck

Location is a bit discreet and a bit low lit, but the food is amazing. I paid $10 and the food was better then you would find at some high end restaurants. Service was quick and really nice. Most definitely a rare find in San Antonio

The best carne asada tacos in San Antonio
Xenia G.

Me + the fam are here every Friday night. I cook all week and we eat out on the weekends, it's the key to a happy life, for real. We order carne asada tacos + Mexican Cokes for "here". Here being your car with the a/c on + bumping your favorite jams. Cause we like to enjoy our tacos while they are hot. Bring cash!

This is their new business card

The carnitas burrito is awesome, the staff is super nice, and the free beans are great! (Especially when it's chilly outside)

Best mini tacos in San Antonio, the beans reminded me of Mexico and my mom likes the hamburger. The salsa was great not to spicy but spicy.

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.

After our San Antonio River cruise, we were hungry and ready to get out of the July heat. We had…read morewanted to try Iron Cactus earlier in our trip but were too tired that evening to make the walk from our hotel. Now that we happened to be nearby, this was our opportunity. It was a hot Sunday afternoon, so there was no debate about where we wanted to sit. We headed straight for the wonderfully air-conditioned dining room, which provided a welcome break after spending time in the sun during our river cruise. Gabby was our server, and she was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive, took our order right away, and delivered our drinks promptly. What impressed us most was how she kept our drinks refilled without us ever having to ask. Her service was outstanding and made an already enjoyable lunch even better. The food was just as impressive. Our Mexican entrées were delicious and exactly what we needed after a hot afternoon on the River Walk. Between the excellent food, Gabby's attentive service, and the comfortable, modern dining room, Iron Cactus turned out to be the perfect place to relax and recharge. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we're in San Antonio. Next time, though, we'd like to come back for dinner and experience Iron Cactus in the evening.

Didn't like one of the drinks told the server and about 10 minutes later someone co.es to the table and says "whats going on?" I'm like who are you the bartender, oh no he tells me he's the manager. Who comes to the tables not introducing themselves and says whats going on. The Margaritas were good. The paella was good. They did take off the chrages,so that was nice. Quality of food at the river walk in San Antonio isn't the greatest..
