REAL TACOS STANDING ON BUSINESS. These tacos are VAQUEROS and not COWBOYS. THIS is how tacos are supposed to taste. No unnecessary Tex-Mex makeover. No drowning everything in shredded cheese and sour cream until the taco loses its identity. Just good simple flavor, good grilled meat, fresh toppings, corn tortillas, keeping it real. California keeps the style real but Texas has slowly bullied a lot of Mexican food into becoming Tex-Mex over the years. This place wasn't having it. They held the line. Respect. Please never change. We need y'all. Seriously. read more

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN!!!! We live in FW and there is no such thing as authentic Mexican tacos. And this is it!!!! They are fast, they don't cheap out on their meat and it's absolutely wonderful! Our 17years old can inhale 10tacos here. Usually get asada. But I'm a fan of tripe. So I always come here for that! Sooo delish! read more

This place is just WOW on so many levels! Taste, quality, service, cleanliness, efficiency, just everything! We are so full! We wanted to try some of everything at first, so we started with the basics: al pastor freshly shaved off the Trompo and the bistek. The bistek was a little bland and a bit dry, but the al pastor was amazing! A server asked if we wanted to place another taco order and, even though we were getting full, we didn't want to throw in the towel without trying a few more. We ordered the brisket, the tripas, and more al pastor. We had never had a tripas taco but everybody raves about them so we figured we should try them. Wow! Perfectly cooked and seasoned, they reminded me a bit of pork crackling with some crispy bits and some tender bits, with a really great pork flavor. The brisket tacos were also excellent, and better than the bistek. Green and red salsas were brought to the table by the server. The green was so good, we never tried the red. DH is cilantro averse, so it was nice that you can get it on the side or leave it out completely. It literally takes less than a minute to get your food when you order it! As full as we were, we had to share a flan. Flavor was good, though very sweet, but the texture and appearance weren't the greatest. It wasn't smooth and creamy like a properly and carefully prepared flan- it was a little lumpy on the inside, big air holes, and a "skin." Again, the flavor was nice but we'd skip it next time if this is how it always is. Prices are extremely reasonable, too. Wherever you are, it's definitely worth the drive. read more

Quick , the service is excellent and the food even better. Just show up, walk to the window and order street tacos, then take a seat. They bring salsa and drinks. Pay after you finish. Busy, quick and delicious food, great service ! read more

Taquitos West Ave - Bistec tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

As a native Californian nothings screams tacos like authentic Mexican tacos! And boy does Taquitos West Ave have the best tacos in San Antonio! With an array of meats: Al Pastor, asada, suadero, chorizo, tripas and more. You can't go wrong! I have been here so many times I always forget to take out tired because their tacos are just that good! There's always a line, even if it's long it goes by really fast! The service is impeccable and the food is even better! The salsas range from medium to spicy but they're all delicious. They don't serve alcohol which honestly it's appreciated as it's a family restaurant. They always have music playing but it's not super loud. Will be back very soon! read more

Legit bomb street tacos! This place has got it pat down and shine in what they're known for. Basically, the menu is on the window ordering counter- several proteins to choose from - one side listed in Spanish, the other English. The servers can help place your orders, obtain your drinks, seat you, and get anything you need. All orders come as a plate of 6 street tacos of your choice. I ordered 2 bistek, 2 al pastor, and 2 tongue with all the fixings (onions, cilantro, sliced radishes, and grilled onions). Delicious!!!' The al pastor had the most flavor and was on a trompo. I poured some green salsa on top for a kick. And to go with my tacos, I drank a Mexican pineapple soda. Pay at the register when you're done! It's all on an honor system. From what I understand, this place can get packed in the evenings and weekend, we ate around 2pm on a weekday and it was perfect! I would totally return when in the area. read more

Tacos are good, I would stick with the tripas, cabeza, and chorizo tacos. Bistec was my least favorite surprisingly. All in all it's easy to spend more then you thought but I like the payment structure and how quick the service is. It's chill and alive at night. Great place to go to after a few drinks. read more

Taquitos West Ave - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

West Ave Tacos is such a cool spot. The garage building has a great vibe and it feels really authentic. The tacos are tasty and I love their salsas, they really take it up a notch. It seems like they recently upped their prices which is a bit of a bummer and the system of being in line twice, once to order and then again to pay, is kind of inconvenient. Even so, the food and atmosphere make it worth it and I'll still go back for the tacos and salsas. read more

This place was very very busy, so I got take out. I liked how the space was decorated. The service was very fast. We ordered and got our food in less than 5 minutes. It was hot and fresh. The tacos were good. I liked how they came 5 in an order, which was more than I expected. I could only finish 4 tacos. They needed a little more seasoning on the meat, but the salsa helped enhanced the flavor read more

Taquitos West Ave - Tacos Suadero and tripas - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We found Taquitos West Avenue on a best-of-San Antonio Reddit post, and it lived up to, maybe even exceeded, the hype! Rolled in around 3pm on a Thursday and didn't wait long. You order first, get seats, then pay on your way out (option to order more from the table). We started with 3 suadero (brisket), 3 al pastor, 1 cabeza and 1 tripas. The al pastor and tripas were our favorites, and we ordered 2 more each after. We've had street tacos in LA and San Diego, but the flavor and meat to tortilla ratio on Taquitos' tacos was rhe best. 12 tacos and a soda between two people came out to 30.26$. The staff were so friendly and helpful. There's some parking around the building; people are in and out pretty fast. Wish we had an extra day in SA just to have another meal here! read more

This place has the best tacos I have ever had in my life. We were in SATX for 4 days and every day, we have been trying new places for tacos but unfortunately, they did not meet my expectations. They were either too salty, missing ingredients, or no flavors (this was the case at one of the most well known and highly rated places in SATX. I will not expose their name) but was very disappointed. Stumbled across this place and drove to it on New Year only to find that they were closed (but it said open on Yelp). Call to confirm. We were determined to go the next day and not even kidding, I devoured my 5 tacos so fast. Their tacos are so good in every way possible: flavor, less oil, condiments (radish and cucumbers), and the sauce is so damn good. Usually taco places either miss a couple of things or overly salt their food so it's hard to enjoy it. Here, they give you salt packets so that you can add more salt if needed but honestly, it's not needed. It was so damn good that we went back for round 2, for dinner. This time, the line was out the door. The gentleman that took my bf's order was very nice. Very friendly and smiled (didn't see him smiling much to others). Parking: they have a couple parking spots right next to their restaurant but the huge parking lot next door is also theirs. Cars go in and out alllll the time. If you're in SATX, I would highly recommend to go here. Worth the wait. read more

This place is delicious! Doesn't matter if you're there during the morning or late after the bars, they always have amazing food and the service is quick! Of course, it can get a little rowdy and crowded, specially after the late night club/ bar scene comes out, but they are quick with the lines. The food always tastes good, the servers are quick and keep things clean. Side advise: If you go Thrusday-Sunday be sure to try the Al Pastor meat from the Trompo (the rotating meat). read more

Best tacos I've had in San Antonio. I come back regularly. It's usually really packed (and loud) and sometimes the line is out the door but it moves quickly! They only serve al pastor from Thur - Sun. They LOAD your plate up in the best way possible. Ask for cebollita and a chilito on the side. Plenty of parking on the lot adjacent to the spot. Aguas frescas are also really yummy and taste freshly made. read more

This place is a delicious and authentic Mexican spot. They serve simple tacos on corn tortillas with a quick turn around time. The options are meat, al pastor only Thursday- Sunday, lengua, tripas, and traditional bistek. It's lively and always buzzing with people.

Warning: There's gonna be a line. I don't make the rules but it is definitely worth the wait! As you approach the window to order tacos, someone will ask where you want to sit (inside or outside) and what you want to drink. After you order the server will lead you to your spot with your drink and salsas awaiting. The restaurant is lively, full of chatter and the sound of tacos being annihilated. Keep in mind there's not really a menu, it's just what taco meat is available. They only have al pastor on Thursday-Sunday. Which is one of my favs. All of the meats i have tried are delicious, I have tried them all except chorizo but that's just because my stomach does not agree with chorizo. I love the salsas they're perfectly spicy! The portions are great and they also give you grilled/sweater onions and jalapeños which adds that extra deliciousness to your tacos. I've been here twice already, I will definitely be back read more

I tried all the flavors of tacos, and they tasted great except the chorizo. The tacos came out fast. The tacos had raw onion, cilantro, and meat. I prefer my onion to be fried. The onion did have some aftertaste to it. My bf didn't like all the cilantro they added. Overall, the food was great and it wasn't too expensive. read more

I have been here for so many times and finally came around to write a review. I went twice last week! I was taking around some internationals and decided to give them a little local experience. And boy it was not disappointing! These people were amazed with not just the food... the ambiance too! It is so vibrant and fun! And one of the only places that you actually find people dining after 10pm. Whenever I go there is a line! The trompo is only on weekends though. If you have not tried this place it is highly recommended! And oh! Make sure to grab one of the flans in the fridge! It is homemade and absolutely delicious! read more

If you're looking for real-deal, no-frills, authentic street tacos in San Antonio--Taquitos West is where you go. Period. The second you walk up, you know you're in for the real thing. The smell of sizzling meat hits you first, then you see the magic happen--corn tortillas crisped just enough, piled high with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat, fresh cilantro, and a generous hit of chopped onion. Add radish, cucumber, and lime on the side, plus their killer green and red salsas, and you've got yourself taco perfection. This isn't some over-dressed "fancy" taco spot. This is tacos the way they're meant to be--served fast, eaten with your hands, and dripping with flavor. Every bite took me straight to the streets of Mexico, and the price is just as friendly as the staff. Pro tip: order more than you think you'll eat. Trust me, they go down fast. Taquitos West isn't just a meal--it's a taco pilgrimage. read more

Service is so quick! The line will be out the door and you will be ordering within 5 minutes. This also means you have to know what you want by the time you get to the front otherwise people will be annoyed at you! The people waiting the tables are nice and they keep the inside clean and available to sit. You pay at the end which is almost an honor system but I thought that was a unique feature.

Taquitos West Ave - Steak taco? - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I heard that this place had the best street tacos in San Antonio and I absolutely believe it! I had three different kinds. The chorizo was good and exactly what I was hoping for. The bistec was super flavorful and deep with flavor. But the best one was definitely the brisket taco. I was blown away by how tender and moist the meat was. Squeeze some lime and add some onions and each was a beautiful harmony! I will absolutely come back here, especially on a weekend when they have the Al Pastor! read more

Taquitos West Ave - Chorizo and Brisket tacos - Mexican Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is legit for quick authentic Mexican tacos! You might be confused upon entering because there are no instructions, but I got you! There's a quick moving line in front of the ordering station. You place your order and your tacos are handed to you on the spot and come with a side of sliced cucumbers, limes and radishes. After ordering, you could just sit and one of the cashier girls will come ask what kind of drink you want and bring it to you, or you can go grab it yourself from the cooler in the next room with the glass doors. Ambience is great because they blast a variety of spanish music while you eat. Occasionally, the cashier girls will come ask of you need more tacos so you don't have to go back to the line, which is pretty awesome since there's always room for more tacos. 2 kinds of salsas are on the tables and both were spicy and delicious. Prices were very reasonable, which is why there was a constant line of people grabbing orders to go, even on a Monday night. Once you're done, you just go to the cashier station and tell them what you had. The operate on the honor system because there's no ticket to turn in. Don't pass this up if you need in quick delicious meal while in San Antonio. read more
