50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Balcones Heights

“The birria here is to die for! The pozole también! Excellent flavor, fresh food. Highly recommend!! Staff is friendly and very accommodating. Orders come out quickly as well.“

“The taco place is convenient for me the people are nice who have the truck. I believe everything is homemade but the only thing they lack is salt and pepper. Granted you can put it yourself but it doesn't taste the same once it's made. I'm not a picky eater but seasoning your breakfast tacos is a must.“

“Taco Capital absolutely delivered. The carne asada was perfectly seasoned and incredibly flavorful, honestly some of the best I’ve had. And the chips… wow. They were crispy, fresh, and somehow tasted like fritos (in the best way), which made them impossible to stop eating. The salsas were so, so delicious and paired perfectly with everything. I also have to mention the agua fresca... it was really delicious and so refreshing. On top of that, the customer service was excellent! Friendly, helpful, and fast. The restaurant was clean, and set up simply for efficiency, which I loved. It’s perfect if you want to grab and go tacos without sacrificing quality. Taco Capital is the kind of place that makes you want to bring friends back with you. Highly recommend!“

“Arrived early, 635 am, to Tacos N Salsa Mexican Cafe on 1604 to order 21 breakfast burritos. I greeted the first worker, setting up tables along the outside of the store, with a "Good morning"...her reply was, "we are not open yet" and locked the door behind her. I laughed and waited outside. The burritos were exceptional and well priced.“

We had the street tacos (carne asada) and a Mexican hamburger, was just missing the ham we are used to for a Mexican burger but still very good. Agua frescas were delicious not too sweet. The restaurant is clean, tables clean thank you for the good experience. Until next time.“

“San Antonio is known for it's Tex-mex/Mexican food. I've lived here for over 40 years. Papo's ishas - hands down - some of the best street tacos and quesadillas in the city. My only complaint is I wish they were open more days/hours; I'd be going here all the time.“

“It was a great experience. The service was on point and the food was great.“

“I have been so excited to eat at La Fonda for almost 20 years! This was a wonderful experience - the food was delicious, the service was fantastic and the ambiance was perfect! The margarita = perfection, the Enchilada Verdes was so tasty and to finish the churros and flan are worth the trip alone! What a treat!“

“I really missed enchiladas tex mex! here are so tasty, good presentation and portions. Definitly I will come back!“

“Very nice waiter.. delicious food especially the 🥔 with meat !!! At good prices .“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite place to eat in San Antonio. Located near the airport in a tucked away location, RO-HO Pork & Bread is a hidden gem. This is comfort food at it's finest. Ro-Ho has many great things on the menu, but they are best known for their Torta Ahogada, and it's what I get almost every time. The torta is always hot, the carnitas cooked to perfection, and the tomato salsa is to die for. You can get the torta with straight carnitas or you can mix it up with carnitas, pork stomach and skin, which is what I usually get. The torta also comes with cabbage, onion, radish and lime. No matter how you order it, it's going to be great! The place is super cool, with Mexican artwork and music. There is inside seating and an outside covered patio as well. Everything you can get to drink from the cold case is always ice cold. And they serve one of my favorite Mexican beers, Victoria. Chef Rojo is often around and greets customers. The ladies that work the register and food line are so friendly, and will answer questions if it's your first time. The place fills up quickly at lunch, so keep that in mind. I drive clear across town for my Torta Ahogada fix, if that says anything! Check this place out!“

“I went there with a bunch of my college friends and honestly everything was great. Chips and salsa was excellent and the guacamole tasted great. We ordered a few top shelf margaritas pitchers and they were just as strong as he said they would be. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately my friends were being rude and lying about what they ordered once they saw the price of the bill. Felt kind of bad for our server because our experience couldn’t have been any better.“

“Thank you for the great experience for my daughters graduation dinner Gina was amazing and staff Was fast and always asked if we were Ok and made sure everything was correct and also got coffee for my father which was awesome and last minute but we took our time and never rushed us thank you to all the staff and host and making our day amazing for our guests“

“We stopped in to celebrate our son's 12th birthday, his wish was to go plane spotting as a family. My husband remembered from his childhood how close the planes would fly while coming in to land at the airport so we decided to visit again. Best choice ever! The staff is kind, courteous and attentive. The patio is absolutely perfect for plane spotting! It is beautiful with an amazing garden themed atmosphere. My son was so happy and smiling so big with the massive planes flying into the runway. Thank you Nicha's! 🥰“

“Used them for a teacher luncheon and they delivered to our school. The elevator was broken and the two ladies carried trays and huge coolers up 2 high flights of stairs at least 7 times up and down. I get exhausted going up once. They had the most pleasant attitude.The food was delicious and the presentation of the trays and warmers was perfect! The next day they came out and picked everything up. Thank you Liz and ladies for your excellent food and service. Will definitely call you guys again!!! I'll make sure the elevator is working! 😉“

“My parents love Lindas! We do often and they have great specials.“

“Very³ flavourful food that comes out fast and satisfies completely. I rarely get excited about potatoes and tortillas, but this place is something else. The corn tortillas seem like they just came out of Grandma's kitchen and the tortillas are hot and fresh. A wonderful place.“

“10/10. Delicious tacos Al pastor. The fresh lemonade is also amazing.“

“My husband made dinner reservations here for my birthday and I’m so glad he did. Domingo is, hands down, one of the best restaurants we’ve dined at in San Antonio, and easily our favorite that’s right on the River Walk. Our server, Kelsey, was a delight and made our evening even better with her recommendations and top-notch service. Our favorites that we ordered were the Domingo Signature margarita, elote, seasonal agua fresca, and (it pictured) the star of our meal: the grilled flat iron steak. The entire plate was the kind of meal one has dreams about, and if anyone at Domingo ever considered taking it off the menu I may actually riot. Domingo will be a must-stop for us every time we’re in San Antonio. Thank you for making our getaway that much better.“

“the chicken fried steak I can eat the whole plate. Myself thank you Berry Much.“
