Caldo de pollo

Tommy's never disappoints! The service is always great, and the food is fresh and tasty. The carne guisada with that delicious brown sauce is my favorite! Definitely a go-to spot! I had the Caldo de Pollo yesterday and it was delicious. It hit the spot

Cheese Enchiladas Plate (3)
Bailey H.

Listen -- I don't ever want to hear any Tommy's slander. Yes, expect it to be busy, because this place earns it! Think sit-down Tex-Mex, southern sweet tea served in a large to-go cup, and plates so hot they're almost too hot to touch. Nothing fancy, just reliably good food that hits the spot. Some dishes stand out more than others, but you can never go wrong with their enchiladas -- always a safe and delicious choice. It's usually crowded, and yes, it can get loud, but the service is always kind and welcoming -- they make you feel right at home even in the chaos. My heart wants to give this 5 stars, but a few little inconsistencies keep me at 4. Still, it's a San Antonio classic I keep coming back to.

Steak tacos
Julie S.

Business was recommended by a friend and I can't be more glad we went. It was delicious. The breakfast tacos were amazing and the tortillas were so delicious. Nice little casual place to try. Would definitely go back. Barbacoa was also really good. Service was fast and friendly.

Piece of plastic found in taco

I went and got some breakfast tacos after work. While eating my bacon egg and cheese, unfortunately I bit into a piece of plastic that was located inside of my taco. Fortunately I didn't consume this unknown piece of plastic. Hopefully the cooks will see this and be more careful when preparing food. Tacos were good nonetheless but I guess check the insides before you eat it or give it to a loved one. Unfortunate situation and ruined my appetite.

Potato & egg
Anna Marie S.

Got 2 bacon & egg with extra cheese, 1 potato & egg, and 1 bean & cheese. You call in your order and wait in line until you get to the front door, not the best setup. The line blocks several parking spots, and exiting is a bit of a challenge. A worker asked for my name, went inside, then came back out with a bag with my order. She took my card and took my food back inside as well. She didn't bring the food or my card (and receipt) back until after she brought the food for the car in front of me. Kind of strange thing to do.

Puffy Tacos
J E.

Stopped in here one weekday for lunch... this place was packed at lunch time and people kept shuffling through for carryout too! They have pretty friendly and helpful service, which is always nice. Their menu is standard and very reasonably priced. I tried puffy tacos for the first time and they were great! The tortilla that was fried was perfect, not too crunchy to where it would fall apart, just perfect! The meat in the beef was decent, but the meat in the chicken one was bland. Their nachos are unique, as they are individual tortilla chips with each one topped with meat, etc. Salsas was nice - spicy and fresh! Overall, I liked Tommy's and can see returning!

Triple threat! (Our typical order) carne guisada with cheese, barbacoa, chorizo and papa
Erica V.

Always a hearty and welcoming experience. You definitely get the biggest bang for your buck on everything on the menu! Texas taco staples and homemade style tortillas are hands down the best quality and the reason I'll never be skinny! The staff treats everyone like a regular and they keep calm even in the busiest times! The food is always consistent and goodness for the tummy!

La Fonda is one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town. When you arrive it feels like you're…read morestepping into an inviting home rather than a business. The food is upscale traditional Mexican fare but has most of your usual options like enchiladas and fajitas. We always start with chips and salsa. Their salsa is freshly made with tomatoes and onions. We always go at dinner time and have had a variety of dishes. I'm partial to their fajitas or steaks while my husband goes with their Fonda plate of enchiladas with a side taco. But don't miss out on their specials. Every month or so their are seasonal specials. Most recently we both had a wood fired pork chop with poblano mashed potatoes and cabbage and garbanzo bean casserole with a slightly spiced chile sauce. It was divine!! The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. It's clear that the chefs pay attention to details. The staff are always helpful and attentive. You don't want to pass on dessert either. Their empanadas are seasonal. BlackBerry are my favorite. Recently the option was Apple pie, for the fall season La Fonda on Main is one if those comforting places we return to over and over and is one of those places to take out of town guests who want local, non-chain atmosphere and food.

The place is very nice, we enjoyed sitting outdoors (dog friendly). Decor and ambiance are great…read more Food was very good, portions were good, except for the fonda salad and arrachera were rather small. Our server was very nice and attentive. Would rate 8/10 and definitely on the list to come back.

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.

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..
