Los dos platos!
Rene M.

Dropped my car at the Honda dealership and on a total whim thought, "Why not try Tommy's?" I had never been, had zero expectations... and honestly, I'm glad I walked in. First thing I notice? The place is super clean. Second thing? They're blasting 80s music at 8am, which instantly set the tone. I'm a big 80s fan, so that alone already had me smiling. It's definitely not your usual quiet morning coffee spot like The Standard, Shotgun House, or El Tigre, but that was the whole point...I wanted some good ole Tex-Mex comfort. I ordered my classic chorizo and egg plate, and she went for the Caldo de Pollo. The food came out hot and everything tasted fresh. My chorizo was perfect, flavorful without being salty, and best of all, not a greasy mess. The handmade corn tortillas were amazing, and the papas with refried beans hit exactly how they should. Her Caldo de Pollo was already solid, but once we added pico de gallo, lemons (a must), and a few dashes of pepper, it turned into a whole vibe. And the coffee? You already know...coffee at a Tex-Mex spot just hits different. Strong, hot, comforting. What really sealed it, though, was the service. The staff was genuinely friendly and fast, the kind of people that make you feel taken care of without hovering. Overall, Tommy's on Silicon Dr absolutely delivered. Clean place, great food, 80s soundtrack, and top-notch service. Glad I gave it a shot...and I'm already looking forward to going back.

Barbacoa Taco and Carne Guisada Taco
Brian B.

Before heading to an estate sale in the area, the Mrs. and I stopped here for some breakfast tacos. The place was packed but we were able to find an empty table with no wait. Our waitress soon followed to offer menus and take our drink order. I opted for a barbacoa taco and a carne guisada taco. I started with the carne guisada first. It didn't have many pieces of meat, and the gravy was not seasoned like at other places. The barbacoa taco was filled with a lot of meat, but also onions and cilantro. However, it was somewhat bland. I was hoping salsa would help bring more flavor, but it was weak and not terribly spicy. The only thing I was impressed by was the tortillas. Not sure if I will make it back here soon as there are so many other options that offer better food.

Chips and salsa
Mary R.

My husband and I stopped here for a quick bite while out running errands. I wasn't really hungry, but did order chips and guacamole. He had the ehilada with carne guisada plate. My husband said his food was very good and scarfed it up. The flour tortillas were pillowy and soft, being made in-house. They were certainly among the best I've had. The salsa was authentic and hot (spicy), but not insanely so. Both the red and green were tasty and the chips were crispy. The guacamole was not all that. In fact, it reminds me of that "Wholly Guacamole" the sell in containers at HEB. It's not awful, but shouldn't be served in restaurants. I'm not saying this was that particular product, but it certainly wasn't made from fresh haas avocados. There were no chunks of avocado in it and it's texture was more of a pasty consistency. Our waitress was outstanding. She promptly served us and made sure we had everything we needed. The only other negative thing was that evidently they have no public restrooms. The sign on the door stated as much. At first I thought that applied to non-customers, but after looking around I found no sign of any restrooms. That's surprising and the first time I've ever eaten in a place that has no public restrooms. We'll certainly keep this on our list of Mexican places to get a quick bite.

I came here for lunch and ordered the barbacoa tacos which came with onions, cilantro, and green salsa. Pretty standard taco. The service was great. I'm glad to know that they have Apple pay and you can pay at the table.

Migas and barbacoa tacos!
Michael B.

Stopped by Tommy's while getting tires put on next door by Discount Tire. Cool, informal vibe inside and a bit dark. Classic Tex-Mex greasy spoon with exactly the fare you expect. Service is good, the ladies are all very nice. Had the barbacoa taco and the migas taco. Both decent, nothing to write home about. The migas had lots of egg, while the barbacoa appropriately had enough grease oozing out to lube a tractor. (That's not a bug, that's a feature!) Competent if not exciting food, worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood and need a quick sit-down bite to eat. This place scores a 3 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

we order barbacoa tacos , and Huevos rancheros , barbacoa extra greasy salsa expire and bubbly I ask for a new salsa , and take a while to get a salsa Service 7/10

Potato & egg w/ cheese
Monica G.

This was my first time to eat here. I have had the enchiladas (to go) once and they were very good. I ordered a potato& egg with cheese and a Carne Guisada taco. My potato egg with cheese was not hot or warm & the cheese was not melted (even just a bit), but it was good. I was not going to complain. My favorite is still at a hole in the wall. The Carnegie Ehde was slightly warmer and did have good flavor. They definitely gave me a lot of meat. It was good.

Overcooked bacon, fatty Brisket Taco Special both unable to eat.

It's a hit and miss w Tommys. Some days it's great and other days it's questionable! Their food is prepared well and other times their rice is crunchy, not well cooked, bacon is dry and overcooked, brisket is mostly fat. I would like to see the cook eat that hard bacon. Chillaquillas are made correctly some occasions but some days hardly any sauce, chips soggy, not cheesy just a lot of dry eggs. And one last thing, check your receipt cuz they sometimes over charge customers.

I have been here several times. It's one of those staple tourist places that you have to visit when…read moreyou are in town. Service is fast, place is decently clean for the foot traffic, the servers all look happy and eager to work. I ordered tortilla soup, I usually like it with a cup of rice and avocado like most places serve it. However, I definitely think this is a safe Mexican food restaurant when it comes to not overdoing it with spices and the extra stuff. My soup had a decent amount of chicken. I had a mimosa, loved that they used fresh orange juice. Flour tortillas were delicious! Before heading out you need to have the sweet bread!! So goooodd!

People say when in San Antonio, do like the San Antonian's. Nobody really says that. I mean, I just…read moredid, but I also just made it up. With that being said, let's make up a review. Except I'm not actually making the review up, I've been to the place. Both San Antonio and the restaurant moments away from being reviewed. I'm always down for solid Mexican food. It's always pretty damn good. I mean, at the pure base of things, it's basically the same few ingredients, just different vessels to get it to your mouth. I'm never bad about that. I love transportation. Mi Tierra was a pretty great looking place. Plenty of space, a nice outside waiting area, plus a bakery. I have never been to a place with a bakery that I didn't like. It seemed like a very authentic place, and that's coming from a resident of Michigan. A resident that eats Taco Bell. A resident who eats Taco Bell and think's THAT'S authentic Mexican. The first thing I noticed was that this place did not seem to serve burritos. Not a marker really for me, but it was something I've never came across before. I also thought that you were stuck ordering enchiladas or tacos in a meal type of setting. Upon further questioning, you can order a la cart. That was a relief. I ended up ordering the enchiladas Verdes because sometimes I ignore my color palate and go for green. And because I can't just stop eating one form of meat, cheese, and sauce, I ordered a taco. Actually, I just ordered a taco because I wanted a dryer enchilada. Or did I order the enchiladas because I wanted a wetter taco...I don't know anymore. Anywho, I ground beef, American style taco. Now, I've always been a big fan of chips and salsa. Some salsa hits, some miss. Some salsa is pureed and is basically red water. Some salsa is just a full tomato. I like my salsa like I like my orange juice. With extra calcium. Wait. Mild pulp. That's it. This salsa pretty much hit those notes. Had good flavor and a little spice left to linger. The main course came out and everything looked delicious. Green enchiladas looked exactly like I expected. However, it took me a moment to realize I was not looking at a burrito...but instead, my taco. It was served a peculiar way. wrapped, seam down, with a little bit of the meat on top, pico and lettuce on the outside, next to it. It was a burrito peacocking as a taco. I've never seem this display before, and I have been to many Taco Bell and non-Taco Bell restaurants. The taste was pretty good, though. All the taco flavor in a burrito jacket. The enchiladas were pretty decent, too. Everything tasted like it had all the ingredients and that they were in all the right spots. No doubt about it, I was full after e

We started…read morewith the Pan Fila Conchota combo that is a combination of the two that is 1/2 gallon of hot chocolate made using a base of Abuelitas with additional cinnamon, and cocoa along with something special. It was delicious! The concha was soft, buttery and flaky, with just the right sweetness. We took home the majority of it and it stayed nice and soft instead of turning hard like so many others. We decided to try several appetizers to go along with our concha to get a wider taste of their food than we would by just ordering a couple entrees. Let me tell you, this was a great idea! We ordered the Tosti-Ceviche Verde, Panela Asado, Mexican Street Corn, and their Spicy Bean Dip. The Ceviche Verde was excellent, the freshness of the fish and shrimp was wonderful with the chipotle mayo and avocado. We chose to have it on the salsa Verde Tostitos and it was all great combination. The Panelo Asado was a completely new dish for us and was extremely good with a savory flavor from the salsa Tlaquepaque that mixed well with the Panela cheese. Their tortillas though not made in house, are made for them and taste like mom made them. The Mexican Street Corn was great and had the perfect bit of char taste from the corn. It was creamy and flavorful, we did think it could use just a tad more lime juice though. The Spicy Bean Dip was very good. You can't go wrong with Oaxaca, Chorizo, and pieces of pork mixed with some mildly spicy beans. Our server was fantastic. She had great recommendations for us, and was quick with checking on our drinks and generally helping us throughout our dinner. The food was prepared quickly, was hot, tasteful and refreshing. We definitely will be going back, and recommend Pan Fila to all of you.
