    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)

    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!

    Great food always . One of the best for simple Mexican food. Not sure why this isn't above a 4.0

    Pollos Asados Los Norteños - Half chicken

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.

    This place is a small hole in the wall type place but if you are looking for great Mexican bbq food…read more- look no further. The menu is fairly simple but everything is too notch. The grilled fajitas were exceptional - meat perfectly seasoned and peppers and onions perfectly seasoned and cooked. The beans have a great flavor and even the rice (I'm just not a fan of most Mexican rice because it's bland) had a great flavor. The tortillas are the perfect thickness and are soft and warm. And of course - the green sauce - it's amazing! Our server was very friendly and prompt and the food came out quickly on a Saturday evening during prime dinner time. The true indicator of how good this place is - we were the only gringos in the entire restaurant! We will most definitely be back before long!! Well done!!

The chorizo and ranchero sauce really made it stand out. The Mexican street corn on the side might have been even better. That stuff is seriously addicting like crack. I could have eaten a bowl of it by itself. Definitely a place I'd come back to.

Now listen I enjoy a good mood, but this setting went a little past moody. It was DARK dark. They could definitely bump those lights up about two settings and still keep all the ambiance. lol Thankfully, the food and service needed no adjustments. 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.
