I got these and a side of fideo, the fideo was good but looked like it was sitting in a hot pot and heated up but was confusing because it took so long to be brought out I would have thought they were making a fresh batch. Everything else was so filling and amazing! Very authentic! Good service as well, wait time was expected because of the good reviews online but I just reserved my table through yelp :) read more

Food was amazing and received wonderful service from our server René giving us great recommendations.

This was a very unassuming place in a 'not as scenic' part of SA. The sign outside was nicer than the other Mexican joint nearby. Don't get confused. That place was empty and this place was mostly full. The inside was simple, working class style but nice tables and clean. The Chile Relleno was legit and the added chicken was seasoned to perfection. And the cocktail they made my wife was tasty and strong. And anyone who know me, knows that I test a Mexican restaurant by how well they make a basic rice and beans side dish. This place passed with flying colors. I've never gone wrong with any Mexican place that if they put the attention and focus into rice and beans, then the entrees are pretty spectacular. Check them out! read more

Took my parents to try a different Mexican restaurant, not the usual ones they go to all the time in their neighborhood. they enjoyed themselves and said they liked the experience. To anyone who wants to try this location, I will recommend to order the Calle de olla for coffee. If you normally drink your coffee black then I do not recommend it because it is a bit on the sweet side. But they do offer regular pot coffee as an option. (The sweetness caught my mom off guard). Taste it before you add anything to it. I also recommend trying the small conchas-they came out warm and ready to eat! This was only my second time going to this restaurant but both times I have had good experiences. Parking is a little odd. There is parking in the front and parking in the back. read more

This place hits the mark on everything when it comes to breakfast. We had the standard huevos rancheros and the huevos benitos. Both were solid, especially the huevos benitos. 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. read more

Restaurant was very spacious. Wait time was short for a Friday morning which was great. Food was great. We received chips beans and salsa for free which was amazing. Ordered the queso fundido which was a great starter. Ordered the street tacos birria and bistec and beans it was very filling with a side of lemonade which was very refreshing. Our waiter did great handling a party of five and the wait time for our food was not bad. My only complaint was that I was not able to fit comfortably underneath the table with my electric wheelchair. read more

Tlahco instantly became one of my favorite spots in San Antonio. I've probably been here a dozen times, and the food consistently tastes like it was made in someone's home kitchen in the very best way -- super flavorful, authentic, comforting, and full of that real, no-shortcuts sazón you just don't find everywhere. The service is just as memorable. Everyone is friendly and attentive without making you feel rushed, and the whole place has this relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. If you're craving authentic, heartfelt Mexican food that truly tastes homemade, Tlahco is such a solid choice. I'm already planning what to order next time. Tip: It gets really busy during peak hours (for good reason), and seating is limited -- join the waitlist before you arrive so you're not stuck waiting outside! read more

Last time I had ate from this place was in 2023. I had a good experience the first time. So I was in the neighborhood and stopped by again and ordered chile relleno with cheese.

We've ordered from this place twice and both times gotten the Parrillada Mixta al Carbon for 2 - steak, chicken, shrimp, sausage, quesadillas, jalapeno poppers, roasted corn, grilled onions, guacamole, salsas, tortillas, rice, and beans. And hooooly moly. The second time we ordered we were nervous that we were overthinking how good it was the first time. Thank goodness we were not. It was just as good on round two. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Food was really good and the service as well. The salsas were on point. The torta was good but I am sure it's not their best dish. So need to go back and try more items on their menu. read more

Best chilaquiles I have ever had in my life and the conchas were out of this world. This is the real deal. My wife told me it reminded her of her abuela's cooking. The restaurant was so clean and had a calming aesthetic. Our server was very professional and polite. Next time we are in town we are coming here. I wish I had time to try the whole menu. P.S., get your chilaquiles with marital problems so you can try the best of both sauces. I normally get it with eggs, but I had steak this time. Out of this world delicious. I would've licked the plate if I could! read more

Such an amazing spot to have Mexican food in San Antonio. The restaurant is very busy but the waitress was super sweet and they got the coffee and food out fairly quickly. I ordered the cafe de olla and it was so good, it is too sweet for me but the waitress gave me a great tip to mix some regular and cafe de olla coffee and that made it the perfect sweetness for me. I had the chilaquiles verdes and oh my gosh, they are the best chilaquiles I've had in San Antonio. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great place for Mexican food. The decoration and plates are super cute as well. My husband ordered breakfast tacos and they were very large and he said they were really good as well. read more

A M A Z I N G Came on a recommendation from a friend. So glad we tried it out!! To begin, the place was pretty empty at 4 pm on Saturday. The hostess told us to sit anywhere we'd like. They came immediately to ask us for drinks. The horchata was so good! They also had offerings of fresh juices and cafe de olla (will be trying that for breakfast one day). The chips and beans were given to us shortly after and they tasted soooo good. We needed time to look at the menu but the waitress was really nice. The inside of the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. The plates remind me of Mexico and it's beautifully handcrafted. All the food was delicious but we definitely favor the sopes and the enchiladas. The concha's came out warm and are so soft! 10/5 will come here many times in the future. Worth the money. read more

Wow!!! This was seriously maybe the best place I have ever eaten. I suggested it for my coworkers and since we're from out of this state, they agreed with me to go here. As we pulled up the outside looked cute, but honestly when we walked in we were all even more excited. The vibe in here was super energetic with their super nice layout and the fun enjoyable music playing. The food we each order blew our minds and even the basic chips and dips that were dropped off at first were all legit. I always love genuine Mexican food but service is always my main priority and the service here was seriously perfect. This may be a place you drive past if you don't know it but I recommend for you to stop here and even drive many many miles to come here. It is so amazing for sure. read more

This place reminds me of Brownsville in the best, most nostalgic way. My friend and I saw how good the food looked on Tlahco's instagram and website and decided to give it a shot for Sunday brunch. The inside of the restaurant was like visiting the Valley. We had a 25-minute wait, but it was worth it. There was so much to choose from on the menu, but I picked the cochinita pibil, and my friend picked the mole. We also ordered an horchata and cafe de olla each. The horchata and cafe de olla were perfectly sweet. Both dishes came with a side of rice, beans, and tortillas. (I got 1 corn and 1 flour, and he got two flour) We also had complementary chips and salsa, and much to my delight, they were the homemade thicc and sturdy chips. Nothing will break in those salsas. My dish was served in a GIANT molcajete. It was a little overwhelming to be honest! In fact, all the dishes were so authentic, being heavy clay or volcanic rock. Fortunately I was allowed to take my leftovers home and enjoy them for dinner. Service was great. They were all incredibly polite and never left us waiting. They knew exactly when to approach us. There were some really nice things on the menu I wanted to try but didn't have enough room in my stomach: The conchas with chocolate dipping sauce, the guava pie, and much more. But I guess that gives me a reason to come back and visit, ey? read more

No frills restaurant serving up seriously good food. They have hard, booth-style seating lining the walls. It was decently packed. There seem to be two entrances--a front and a back. Parking might be tight, depending on when you arrive--at least the lot in front is a little cramped, jammed between the main road and the building. With thirst getting the better of us, we opted for Lime Agua Fresca and a Horchata. After rehydrating, we decided to nab Parrillada al Carbon--a platter of mixed grilled meats--accompanied by rice, borracho beans, guacamole, and tortillas. We also enjoyed the chips with bean dip and salsa. It was quite a bit of food, and we took home a doggie bag. The meats were well seasoned and succulent. The shrimp was crisp and not mushy. The quesadilla was hot and cheesy. The jalapeños were juicy and slightly spicy. The grilled onions went with everything. We went through the tortillas pretty quickly, so we asked for more. Friendly service, and fast. I need to remind myself to try out their other offerings when I'm in the area. read more

A Little Taste of Home in San Antonio I've been in San Antonio for three weeks, searching for truly authentic Mexican food, and I finally found it at Tlahco. This place is a true hidden gem. The moment I took the first bite, it felt like eating at home..the kind of food your mom makes with love, real sazón, and no shortcuts. I was honestly overwhelmed with how good it was . What made it even more special is that they play Mexican music . It creates this warm, nostalgic atmosphere that makes you forget you're away from home. It's the kind of spot that comforts your soul as much as your stomach. If you want real, heartfelt, homemade-style Mexican food in San Antonio, Tlahco is the place. I'm so happy I found it. read more

Holy moly !! This is one of my favorite breakfast/brunch I have ever had in America. Maybe its because of my long run the day before and I was ravenous but I love this place!! Not a long wait on a Sunday at all, their menu is huge with eggs options, enchiladas, rice, and a bunch of side options, desserts and drinks. Mexican food galore. The servers are swift and professional, I love that, no excessive chit chat but attentive. There are lots of Hispanic patrons so ... I think they should be good even for Hispanics cause I am no expert in Mexican food. I got the enchimoles, and devoured it. The chips they served out at the beginning is amazing, comes with two salsas and a meaty bean dip. The guava pie was yummy too, lovely crust and good guava flavor. Bookmark this place for your SA visit. read more

I love when I finally find an authentic Mexican restaurant. I'm not talking about Tex-Mex. I'm talking about the real deal Mexican food and I'm so happy that I stopped by San Antonio and tried this place. The dining room is your standard environment, small dining room but everyone's there to eat so it's an algia type of experience. What I love about the guacamole and the chips is it's just an incredible dish. The chips are extra crispy fresh snap of the tortilla chips love the flavor, and you're talking about the freshest guacamole. I mean they had to have had made it prior because when I had the guacamole, you could taste how fresh it is and it's incredible From the pico de gallo on top of the guacamole to the zip and Zhang of the lime juice when you have the fresh creamy guacamole on top of the chip it's a money bite. The chicken flautas dish, I've had plenty in Austin Houston and in San Antonio, but this is that one restaurant where it's fresh flautas. Pretty sure they wrapped it with fresh chicken and deep fried to order. Love the crispiness and what I like about the dish is the creamy beans and the authentic rice I never finish my beans and rice because frankly most places I go to it tastes like it either from a jar or a can but those beings has a different type of creaminess and being taste that I actually finished my entire dish. I even scooped up all the rice, which I never do the rice had to be one of the best Mexican rice I've ever had very strong chicken, bouillon, and tomato taste when you add the creamy sour cream on top with the pickled red onions. It really breaks up the flavors and each time you go for a biteit freshens your pallet. The breakfast eggs, potato and meat platters great. I personally would prefer my potatoes to be crispy, but those potatoes are seasoned beautifully and amazing textures and flavors from the eggs with the cheese on top and a sliced ham overall great experience authentic restaurant. read more
