    We drove down to San Antonio for lunch here. Glad we did it. The food and service were excellent. Beans and rice are different from some others in a good way and we loved them. Very tasty. They reopened the place this May after the fire and it is clean and nice inside. Many tables to choose from and many food to choose from as well. Will definitely return when we're around the area again!!!

    Mini tacos
    Hanna D.

    We found this place my accident, though we were going to a different Taqueria Datapoint. But we were already there and figured we'd try it. The mini tacos were delicious! Staff was really friendly as well. The place is a bit smaller than the other locations but still clean and homey.

    The Datapoint franchise is pretty damn good. Any site I have visited, I have not been disappointed with their food. My go to dishes are the asada nachos and the asada enchiladas! I recommend those 2 dishes to everyone I bring. The mini tacos are pretty good as well. Today, this site gets 3 stars because of the service. I put in my order and it took 40 minutes. After about 20 minutes and 2 new customers coming in, I realized they were taking long. My waitress never came back. I had to flag down another waitress to ask what was going on. They said they would check. The 2 customers that came in after me received their meals and I still hadn't gotten an update. Finally another waitress comes and started making an excuse about my ticket. I was about to pay for my drink and leave when I was told it was coming out... I wasn't too happy with the service but the nachos were soooo good...

    Barbacoa Plate
    Evelyn C.

    This taqueria never disappoints! We had several items from the menu. Taco de barbacoa, pozole, barbacoa plate, asada burrito, tacos a la yaka and everything was very well served and delicious! I have been to three datapoints in San Antonio and this is by far the best. Datapoint at De Zavala is overpriced and the portions are small served. Do not recommend location at De Zavala. So, if in San Antonio make the drive to this one exactly, so worth it! Mi lugar favorito para comida mexicana en San Antonio!

    quesabirria - excelente

    Flavors straight out of Mexico. Great service that is friendly. It's an environment you go to just eat in or pick-up at their drive through. You wont be disappointed. My SA go to Mexican restaurant.

    Taqueria Datapoint is a long time favorite of mine and love that the Fred rd location is still open. The prices are still fair and their 3 taco special at 2.99 is a great deal when prices everywhere are rising. The food is always delicious and their flour tortillas have that homemade flavor I love. Their corn tortillas are handmade and are perfect for the gringas tacos (cheese meat avocado )

    Chips and salsa while you wait for your meal
    Sara U.

    Very friendly wait staff, graciously takes your order in Spanish! best chips and salsa! So fresh. They have menudo/pozole all weekend, all day

    Kaitlin O.

    The mini tacos are so good! They may not look like much at first, but the meat is so flavorful and when paired with cilantro, onions, avocado, and salsa, it's absolutely delicious. I got 5 barbacoa tacos and that was more than enough for me. I also ordered the horchata which was nice and refreshing. Only complaint is that I was charged more than the price stated on the menu so their menus might be a bit outdated. Side note: they offer unlimited chips and salsa which is a good reason to dine in

    Mini-tacos al pastor
    Barnabas H.

    Spontaneous hankering for barbacoa. Datapoint didn't disappoint. Great menu selections. Co-dining compadres had excellent plates of country con huevos / "tacos luz" as well as mini-tacos al pastor. Wow, was everything great! Tomatillo salsa is tangy and a little limey (perfect) and the mini taco plate was served with a huge grilled/charred jalapeño that was muy appreciado por nosotros. Will return many times no doubt. Service was super friendly. A small mark off for ambience etc. otherwise 5

    The caldo was loaded with beef  I added a little chili to give it more flavor with the broth  Itcomes with rice  The server was great

    Arrived at 5 was seated promptly with chips and water ordered the caldo de res it was delicious I will return to try tacos

    Barbacoa plate (5 mini tacos)
    Angela Y.

    This place is absolutely incredible. I took a day trip from Austin to San Antonio last weekend just to pick up three orders of the barbacoa and tripas taco plates. The meat is the best and prices are unbeatable. Each plate comes with grilled onions, raw onions, cilantro, a wedge of avocado, and a wedge of lime. Each taco comes with two warm, homemade corn tortillas and a generous scoop of meat. It's satisfying for even the hungriest person and it'll leave you wanting more! Most of the diners here are locals, so you know it's good. Overall, this is a hole in the wall that I am willing to drive 4 hours to eat. Skip the fancy, overpriced restaurants at Pearl District and come here when you next visit San Antonio. Pro Tip: Because of COVID, we got our orders to go and drove 5 minutes to the nearby Woodlawn Lake Park, which has public bathrooms and ample picnic seating. It's very pretty and spacious.

    Queso.

Pair that with their handmade thick chips, and you're already winning. Then came the mini tacos: chicken, birria, and barbacoa. The chicken surprised me by being the standout, juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned. The birria followed right behind with that deep, rich flavor that makes you stop mid‑conversation. The margaritas? Smooth, refreshing, and sneaky enough that you don't realize how strong they are until you stand up. What sealed the deal was the service. The staff was kind, patient, and didn't rush me even though I lost track of time chatting on the phone. They even let me hang out until my Uber pulled up. Tlahco isn't just good, it's amazing. 10/10 experience.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I do seek out unique variations of eggs benedict, and this one fit the bill, so I went for it. The flavor combination was perfect, and I wasn't overwhelmed with chorizo. If you like eggs benny, give this variation a try. You won't be sorry! The refried beans - I know it's silly to review beans, but these were a bit different than the normal ones we find in SA. They had a bit more texture, unlike the overly blended beans we're used to. Chef's Kiss goes out to these beans! The potatoes - we weren't sure what the seasoning was, but we think it was adobo. Whatever the seasoning is, it puts them over the top as far as breakfast potatoes are concerned. Good stuff! Just a couple of notes: We didn't get tortillas with our breakfast. It might have been an oversight, or our meals didn't come with them. Not sure. The service was great, but depending on the server you get, you might need to know some Spanish. I give them 5 solid stars for breakfast.

Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. This isn't your typical restaurant experience--the menu is creative, unique, and offers something different.

Also, the entire restaurant is very dimly lit.

It had a great spicy zing in the back of the throat after every sip. Queso was... kinda plain. It might have been better with the add chorizo option. It was very thick. Shrimp cocktail was big, but we started fighting over the shrimp pieces. There was plenty of onion and tomato left over after the batttle. Pollo Asado was a great flavor and the chicken was juicy. Grilled squash that was on the side was good. Chicken enchiladas were good and had freshly sliced jalapeños, which is always a welcome detail. I wasn't able to taste the quesadilla but my daoughter said it was "really good". Fried Chicken sandwich had a great flavor and the bacon was actually pork belly if I'm not mistaken. Sadly there was more batter than chicken. The seasoned fries were delicious and crispy.

The verde was amazing and the roasted tomato was great, just not spicy at all. I tried their combo fajitas and was thankful they came out being simply plated, rather than on the blazing hot, sizzling skillet - I don't need the show, just the good eats. The meats were decent, the beans were amazing. The tortillas were just ok, as I felt like they were way too thick. They offered corn tortillas too, but I'm in Texas, so you get flour, not corn. Save room for dessert, they have amazing churros! Overall, this was a decent visit. Service was nice too. I'd recommend stopping in.

We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
