36 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants near Converse

“very professional employees“

“We just moved here to st hedwig and I found this local restaurant, I wanted to try their breakfast after reading the positive reviews and they did not disappoint. We stopped quickly to get 4 bacon egg and bean tacos to go, my husband who is really picky loved them and so did I. The tacos were so delicious along with the beans, the tortilla was very soft. I definitely want to come here again to dine in ?
Very affordable as well ??“

“Never did I thought that in the 13 years that I’ve been in this country I’d find something so close to home! This Tex-Mex restaurant had more Mex than Tex. It is the MOST authentic food I’ve eaten and brought me back to my childhood. The prices are good, the food is delicious, the service is decent. We come from Dallas and best believe we’ll be coming back to Melanie’s!“

“We love us some barbacoa from here! All meats the best!!!“

“Love the brisket and carne guisada with cheese tacos …. So delicious . Breakfast or Lunch….. you can’t go wrong… Friendly staff … love Elsa , girls and Dad….“

“We ordered take out on Friday for a Sunday Mother's Day dinner/birhtday celebration. I sent my son-in-law to pick up food which was to be ready at 5:00 pm. When he arrived our food wasn't ready and the take out line was overflowing. Story is their online ordering system was to cap at 15 orders per hour, but did not cap at all. He waited for 2½ hours. He got back to the house around 8 pm. The grandbabies were already fed and needed to get to bed. My other daughter and son-in-law had to leave. Suffice it to say, this mama was not happy. The food was delicious as it always is. The following day my husband dropped in to see the manager. He was very apologetic and submitted for compensation from corporate. I received an email from Lupe Corp stating they would refund the full amount. Thank you Lupe Tortilla for making it right. We will definitley return...maybe not use the take-out feature again.“

“Our favorite San Antonio area Chili’s“

“The Spinach Omelete is my favorite and is always cooked to perfection. I usually add jalapeño and mushrooms. Unfortunately, after waiting, I had to choose another dish as they were out of Spinach? It happens I guess.

So I chose their Machado plate as a last resort and was pleased with my meal. I've had their Menudo in the past and it's very tasty as well....lol, I probably should have just ordered that, but it wasn't the weekend yet.“

“I had an absolutely fabulous experience at Teka Molino on Eighth Street in San Antonio! From the moment I was greeted by Victor. I felt welcomed and well taken care of.
There are so many food options — perfect for bringing the whole family! I chose the tacos and was pleasantly surprised — they reminded me of the authentic Mexican food I used to enjoy at my best friend’s home during college breaks. The salsa brought back memories of her mom’s cooking, and the chicken was exceptional — moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.
But honestly, the best part was the service. Victor and Heri went above and beyond to make the experience special.
Do yourself a favor: say hello to Victor and Heri, tell them you read this review, and don’t forget to order the puffy tacos and the green chicken enchiladas — top-notch! Thank you, guys, for an amazing experience, I WILL be back!!!“

“I love going to this Las Palapas location. The food is great, service is always on point (Ethan and Joseph are especially exceptional), and our family always leaves happy. When we have visitors from out of town, they always beg to go to Las Palapas on TPC. Keep up the amazing work!“

“Went through the drive thru 5/30 and Blair was working. She was awesome. She is the epitome of how service should be. The food is great but again Blair made the food taste better just by her service!!! Definitely 5-stars and she deserves the kudos. It’s is hard to find someone who is enthusiastic at work nowadays. MM you need to find a way to keep her happy.“

“I need to mention this work appreciation and recognize the work and dedication of these valuable women in preparing each meal. Melissa, the manager, and her great team: Jenny, Madison, Sam, Tiffany, Rocio, Veronica, Sara, Jackeline, etc. All of you make up this great group of hard-working women, so I give True Texas Tacos ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ golden stars❗

Simply delicious, OMG How we enjoy them, but need to mention all the salsas they have, they are tasty.
I highly recommend them!
Soon I'm gonna try the pizza!“

“imagine our surprise when we went for an early dinner and had to pay $1.99 for a bowl of chips! the waiter brought 2 bowls to our table when we arrived. if we'd known you had to pay for them we probably wouldn't have gotten any. I'm sure the Barrios can afford corn tortillas for making chips without charging $1.99 for a small bowl of them. highly disappointed. corn tortillas are cheap“

“My waitress Aubrey was amazing. She was friendly, attentive and got my order perfect. The food was amazing.“

“enjoy time with friends or family at a reasonable price“

“Absolute best chill place“

“I use to come here with my dad as a child.. and just decided to visit my roots and came to eat here.. also brought my husband for the 1st time and he enjoyed the carne guisda tacos.. after so many years not coming still taste the same.. I recommend you come visit..“

“This is our first time coming here. Small restaurant and small parking lot, but it looks like there may be additional parking in a big lot adjacent to the restaurant. The restaurant is small, not too many tables, but they accommodate large families by putting tables together. They also have a few booths. My husband and I visited and the food was so delicious. The salsa and house-made chips was good. I ordered shrimp enchiladas with a verde sauce. My husband ordered the carnita burrito. It came with rice and beans. The refried beans were authentic and rice was very good. She waitress was so sweet. The portions are big and the price is very affordable. It was only my husband and I. With our meal and two drinks it was only $35. Don't let this little place fool you. The food is so good!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast here. Whoever is making their tortillas now is on point!! They were soft and fluffy like welita/ grandma use to make. The refried beans were delicious. Everything else was good too but I really enjoyed the great tortillas.

Kid-friendliness: They have highchairs and tables are spaced nicely to give your family enough room and space.“

“Amazing food and friendly staff!“

“This is my old neighborhood but never saw this place before . I live in Kirby . Had a great meal , my soft chicken tacos were delicious ..My husband had enchiladas , he liked them ..just not crazy about carne Guisada gravy on them . It should be homemade enchilada sauce , Traditional .. I hope that changes ..We still enjoyed it n will return ..Loved the service . T you .“

“Awesome.“

“I gave four stars only because the food didn't really taste fresh. I'm not saying it was bad but it seemed like it was warmed back up. Like I said it wasn't bad, but the tortillas were the worst. I opened the tortillas and they were hot fresh and super soft but after like 2 mins they got hard and kinda crunchy 🤷. The staff was nice.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rios Barbacoa Southtown is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, perfect for a casual meal or a gathering with friends. Now, let's talk about the food – it's simply divine! The barbacoa is mouthwateringly delicious, tender, and full of flavor. The service is impeccable, with attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure a delightful dining experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Rios Barbacoa Southtown is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!“

“La comida está muy deliciosa, precios razonables.. muy buen servicio. Tienen especiales todos los días y hacen todo fresco al día. Se los recomiendo 100%“

“Went there December 24. The food is great but the waiter, terrible service and service is usually good“

“Been coming to this location for years. Seems like every week. Tacos are the best! Prices are reasonable and their member specials are legit. I have never had any issues....until yesterday.

Went through the drive thru, ordered 7 tacos. When the cashier told me my total, it seemed low, but she repeated the order and it was correct. When I was given my taco bag, I looked at the receipt and they didn't acknowledge two of the tacos I had ordered and charged me for something I did not order. Again, I ordered 7 tacos, but I was only charged for 5, only 5 were in the bag, and one of them was not what I had ordered.

I went inside to correct the issue and was told I needed to speak to the manager. I was met by Steven, the MOD. After I explained what happened ,he went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of and that I had received my correct order.

Thank you Steven for the excellent customer service!!“

“very good service nice place to go eat“

“As always good food great prices“

“Higher end on the Tex-Mex cuisine, and a really nice restaurant on the inside. It’s surprisingly spacious with fascinating art. The meals that I have had here so far have been amazingly delicious. Their chimichangas are a lot to buzz about!“

“This is a staple for me. I adore their chilaquiles tacos. Also, their puffy, ground beef tacos rock. If I’m not able to go there at least once a week, my stomach gets very sad. The staff is always friendly, and the food comes out fast every time. My only complaint is everyone else likes it too so if I don’t go early, it can be hard to find a parking spot.“

“Their business hours are odd, they close very early, like 3 PM but offer dinner items. The place is very simple but it’s kept clean. The service is ok, not very friendly but they do a great job, it’s just not a great interaction but that’s ok. The food is good, nothing crazy, been here quite a few times because of how close it is, but we have never had any complaints. It’s a good place for a casual bite to eat.“

“Any of their breakfast plates.“

“Excellent service every time .. Mega Monster Burrito 🌯“

“Delicious. The help is so friendly. Love them all“

“Absolutely great delicious food! Tried out the brisket, it was so tasteful! Would definitely revisit this location, great customer service and fast with preparing orders! Will definitely be visiting this location more often.“
