“I had their Chilaquiles Rellenos De Queso en salsa verde, and it was down right delicious!!! These Chilaquiles are so unique because the tortillas are larger than the typical ripped or cut pieces we typically get in a normal dish of Chilaquiles. What makes them really amazing is that the tortillas come stuffed with cheese and they were so delicious. It comes sprinkled with crumbled cheese and green salsa.
There is parking in front but you can also park along the side street. Our server checked on us routinely and the place has a nice cozy atmosphere, oh and it's self seating.“

“A Mexican restaurant at the end of the River Walk away from all the hustle and bustle of tourists and other restaurants. But make no mistake, this is a must visit restaurant if you want good Mexican food. We had Bloody Mary’s which were probably the best we’ve had. We also ordered the appetizer sampler for two and it was delicious. The bartender was very friendly and made us feel welcome.“

“Take out: 10/10!!
The most delicious tacos at affordable prices!
I stopped by 4 food trucks before finding El Caminante because everyone else was cash only.
Here, I was greeted with a smile while being patient with me to figure out what I wanted to eat. I ordered the order of mini tacos, chicken quesadillas, charros & Mexican cokes. All so good!

Parking: At the corner of the laundry mat“

“They do NOT open early so disregard what is said.
7am the earliest is when they open now not sure why.

The food is actually very good from someone who has been many places globally.
The young man at the counter is very shy but kind and has to put up with the sometimey cook in the back.

Don’t be shocked to hear them say they don’t want to make something and the order is too big.(usually it’s not)
Not very good for business.
They will put restrictions on how many of a certain item you can buy.
Overall this isn’t the prettiest place to stop but they keep it clean at the tables and they don’t too long to get your food out to you.
Small mom and pop shop so come with that in mind and you will get some pretty good tacos for sure.
Tea is a bit too sweet for my liking but heck I don’t like diabetes on my first sip.

Give it a try it may be your best taco spot in all of SA.“

“We came to Ruben because of it's reputation for being the best Tamales in San Antonio. During tamale season, this place has a line that starts very early in the morning with long wait. Luckily it's not the season, so no line. They gave us samples and they are in fact the best Tamales I've ever had. Maybe best in the world.“

“Elotes estilo Chihuahua!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Ive been here twice now and I dont have any MAJOR red flag complaints but I do have some “minor” complaints…BUT, first ill praise em a ‘lil. The place is very welcoming, it really does look like a MEXICAN restaurant, if im not mistaken, the seats apear to be hand made (im a carpenter in training so i know a thing or 2) and the paintings also apear to be handmade (yes I am aware this has nothing to do with the food itself but it just goes to show how dedicated they are to their job) and its just a nice ‘lil touch. The service is very good as well, they are always asking “Is everything good”, “Is there something else you need” etc etc etc, theyre always very respectful and kind. The food itself isnt the best ive tasted but its not the worst either altho its definitely on the better side of things, altho i have on major complain (yes i know i said i had no major complaints but i changed my mind lol). The first time i ever go to a Mexican restaurant i ALWAYS order a plain bean n cheese just to “test the waters” (if they mess up a bean n cheese then i know they dont know what theyre doing), when i got the bean n cheese…it was cold, the tortilla, beans and cheese (duh right?) were COLD, i didnt like that but after i tasted it i could tell it DID taste well, so i ordered another, and that one was really good (and warm). The sweat tea is also very good IMO (in my opinion), it doesnt taste like they dumped a bucket of sugar into it and it doesnt taste like it doesnt have sugar at all either. The price is…wonky, to say the least, sometimes they charge gratuity (which is something i really hate, i mean why charge the tip, at the end of the day if you DO charge you will just make people NOT leave tip, and whatever percent you charge for gratuity i GUARANTEE you the people will leave a bigger tip) and then sometimes the prices are changed from one week to the next. I forgot to mention but the place is very clean as well! Overall i think this is definitely one of my top places to go get Mexican food. Definitely recommend.“

“They are good in the morning and early after noon. The service at night not so good. We ended up leaving waitress didn’t come back to take our order.“

“We placed a to go order for four people. The girl taking our order was very nice and the order was ready in a timely fashion. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals of street tacos , biraccho beans, chicken quesadilla, and chicken fajita taco salad. Definitely a good choice!“
