“If you’re a birria lover, you need to visit Birria El Tapatio.
I’m not exaggerating when I say this is the best birria I’ve ever had. From the very first bite, you can tell they take their recipe seriously. The flavor is deep, well-seasoned, and perfectly balanced, with that authentic homemade touch that is hard to find nowadays. Every taco is served hot, juicy, and generously filled.
The consommé deserves special mention. It’s not just a side, it’s part of the experience. Rich, comforting, and full of flavor. The kind you enjoy slowly and don’t want to end.
The atmosphere is simple, authentic, and very Mexican. Nothing fancy, just great food and friendly service. The staff is attentive and efficient, which makes the overall experience even better.
In short, if you’re looking for real birria in San Antonio, this place is a must-visit. I will definitely be coming back. When something is this good, you repeat.“

“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.“

My nephew Liam who is 8 years old wanted his own “Liam Special Plate.” Which consisted of Two enchiladas, three slices of bacon, one over medium sunny side up egg, potatoes and an entire pancake. To my amazement, he ate it all!!! And doesn’t even show on his tummy everything he ate. Liam said everything is great here and he loved the enchiladas. Please come by. Enjoy the wonderful-clean environment and spectacular food. I hope to see you soon.“

The most delicious tacos at affordable prices!
I stopped by 4 food trucks before finding El Caminante because everyone else was cash only.

“Elotes estilo Chihuahua!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“This restaurant boasts an incredible menu with a wide variety of options. To start, they offer complimentary chips, and upon request, they bring out warm flour or corn tortillas.

The service was excellent, even during the busy Sunday post-church rush. We initially found ourselves sitting at an uncleared table, but the staff promptly cleaned it up.

The ambiance is comfortable, with well-spaced tables. There are TVs showing sports (mostly soccer) and shows, but the volume could be turned up a bit to make it easier to hear over the lively crowd.“
