    Home made chips and salsa with pork rind topping. And a couple other sauces.
    Patrick M.

    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!

    Concha appetizer
    Ara N.

    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.

    Huevos Benitos $14
    Brent L.

    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.

    Great Food and Service! Everything we had was amazing. We went back for a 2nd visit on our short stay in San Antonio because it was so good. Can't wait to go back!

    Queso fundido
    Karla R.

    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.

    Tlacho has been my go to restaurant for more authentic mexican food! me encanta!!! He comido varios platos, ¡lo que elijas va a estar delicioso! I love the mole, and the huevos rancheros. fresh juice is very good! i like the jugó verde. In a world of overbearing tex-mex food, Tlacho is my savior! the service is ALWAYS great! employees are very nice and attentive.

    Huevos Rancheros
    colleen w.

    Let me preface that I have never had a bad experience here, never, not even once!! It's so amazing here! The servers are always so kind and attentive, the food is always delicious and extremely authentic. I usually come here for breakfast/brunch and I never regret it. I would recommend Tlahco to anyone wanting to experience authentic Mexican food in SA.

    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!

    Conchas
    Edie E.

    Love this place! I had their Sopes. Al Pastor and Bistek! Small but delicious. Then my friend order their Conchas! Yum! Freshly made and served with fresh whipped cream and hot cocoa.

    Cochinita Pibil plate
    Laurie N.

    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. It reminded me of my grandma's cooking. So exquisite flavors like rock pops bursting in my mouth full of Mexican flavor

    Parrillada Mixta al Carbon for 2
    Melissa O.

    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.

    Conchas con Nata
    Word S.

    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!

    Chicken Mole plate
    Felicia L.

    Highly recommend this place. We had a wait time of 10-15 mins, but it went much faster than that. Our waitress was sweet and very attentive. Then there's the food~ Wow! Amazing! I had the Chili Relleno plate and my husband & son had the Chicken Mole plate. Hands down to the chief We live in New Braunfels and will be making a trip out just to eat here. Great Experience

    Do they serve puffy tacos here?

    Are the flour tortillas homemade? Do they a tortillera rolling them by hand? Are they above average??? I want to tortillas that are freshly made!!! :)

    All the tortillas are homemade , you can't see them making them, but they are homemade tortillas. I would not say they are above average. If you want above average tortillas you need to go to Alamo Café.

    Are there gluten free options?

    No, im afraid not!

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.

Our waiter Stephen was really nice, attentive and quick throughout our visit. Thanks for taking good care of our table! We tried the paella and steak fajitas, and everything came out nice and hot. Both were enjoyable, but we also need to talk about those spicy mango and watermelon margaritas because the drinks definitely DELIVERED. Flavor was there, and so was the pour. Overall, we had a good experience. Nice River Walk location, hot and tasty food, great drinks and friendly service. Just turn those lights up enough for me to admire the meal before I eat it.

Pretty much told us to suck it. We definitely overpaid by 50 dollars. Every responsible party showed their receipts/ bank account and that's the kind of stellar customer service this place has. No wonder why the older bald waiter has that attitude. He steals from people and is backed up by their management. Would everything had been ok if they didn't use some scam like QR code? Or the waiter done his job instead of dropping off the tab and not asking a single soul out of a party of 7 to split or not, then this wouldn't even be an issue. Just remember the people the manager dismissed are involved in the legal world, some are teacher and other nurses and trust that we will be vocal about how this place is scamming people without a second thought.
