50 Best Mexican Restaurants near Lackland Afb

“This place is just like a Chipotle. I thought that the brisket burritoe that I had them create was delicious. The ingredients were fresh. I would definitely would come again. Price was $8.70 for the brisket and all the fixings you want. There wasn't an additional fee for sour creme or guacamole. Good food if you are on base. Restaurant is located inside the Exchange's food court.“

“Ok JUST GO to the back of the line to get into this amazing experience. The pastries are delicious and the meals are fantastic. The food comes out faster than you’d think Pick your pastries (notice I’m using plural) then a breakfast sandwich or combo. Have a wonderful coffee and taken in the show.Great places are worth the line, this is one of them.“

“Possibly one of the best restaurants in San Antonio, if not the best. The service is homely. The atmosphere is vibrant. The food is to die for. My wife is from Veracruz, MX and she says this tastes EXACTLY like her home town. The portions a giant for the price. I cannot recommend this place enough.“

“Best most delicious Birria Tacos in San Antonio!! Also the customer service is AMAZING! I called to place a pick up order and they didn’t answer but immediately called me right back. But I’ve been here quit a few times and they never miss with the food or service! I also love the drive through option. Keep up the good work!“

“We went here real late after spending the day on the river walk, I wanted to try some authentic SA tacos since I heard they were better than Dallas. The service was fast and great and we saw a lot of patrons there so we said this must be good, the tacos were very small and most street tacos are but the food wasn’t seasoned or flavored as much as I would like, it tasted a little bland.“

“We had the pleasure of meeting Tom and Maria a week ago and they invited to their restaurant. They told us about how original their food was and that customers were invited to make their own combinations. We arrived to find a menu and an off menu menu created by return customers. It was amazing! We had a very hard week and this meal not only fed our bellies but our souls. Everything is homemade and it shows. This charming restaurant is a must go! Do yourself a favor and come to Maria's!“

“Food is consistently good. Very good flavor and quick service. I enjoy the Baja Fish Tacos the best and get it almost everytime I go. The restaurant is small and nothing special to see but for a quick bite it is a nice stop. The employees have always been very nice and helpful. Highly recommend as a place to go.“

“Went here to pick up some food online ordering was super convenient as soon as we arrived we were handed our food in drive thru. Arrived home our food was still hot the quesabirria were amazing!!! I had been looking for a go to place for birria and finally found it hubby got mini tacos and those were also so good! They had all the fixings and were stuffed. Will be going back!! Prices are also very reasonable 10/10“

“The food is excellent, especially the mole enchiladas. My only knock on this place is that it's LOUD. Eating in the little dining room is like eating in a New York subway terminal. And to make it even worse they insist on playing loud music. It's SO loud you can't enjoy your food.If you want to have a conversation with your dining partners, try to snag a table in the bar (and when has dining in the bar been quieter than the dining room?) or even better on the patio.Wheelchair accessibility: Most of the restaurants are easily accessible. Unfortunately, there are only two handicapped parking spaces. I'm not sure how they get away with that.“

“Well, we’re over from England celebrating my 70th birthday and the meal here this evening was easily the best by far. It will not and cannot be exceeded for the rest of our three week trip. The rib-eye was so well cooked and the mushrooms were elevated to a flavour level that I didn’t think mushrooms could reach. My wife’s fish tacos were equally as wonderful and have been recorded as having reached legendary status. Edward the chef and joint owner has a superb palate and clearly knows how to put a dish together. We’re leaving first thing tomorrow morning. If we weren’t we’d be back. Too late to change our plans. What a shame.Just go and go again. This has been the highlight of dining out not just of this trip but perhaps of all time.“

“The ambiance on the patio was amazing and the food was superb. I got an enchilada with spinach and sundried tomatoes that was recommended by the server and my husband got the skirt steak, which she also recommended. Both were excellent. The drinks also did not disappoint. I had never had a Mexican martini (I'm a vodka dirty martini gal) and it was very, very good. My husband said their top shelf margarita was the best he's had in a long time. We're visiting from out of state and came here on a whim on a Friday night with no reservation and though it was very busy we only waited about a half an hour for an outdoor patio spot. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of my favorite spots to get fast, affordable street tacos in San Antonio. If eating there, you order your tacos at the window, sit down to eat, then go to the register to pay after. The restaurant is a bit noisy with loud music and lots of people around, so it may be best for individuals sensitive to noise and chatter to order their tacos to take out. The service is really fast, so make sure you know what you want by the time you get to the window.“

“So delicious! We have been looking for a new regular place and this place hit the spot. The owners were so nice and welcoming, we had the enchiladas and the carne guisada which were so good. Tortillas were perfect and the chips and salsa were also delicious. Can’t wait to come back!“

“?The only thing I would change is the attitude of the guy who was in the window for drinks. He had the ugliest attitude and RBF when I greeted him and then at the end of our purchase …. Gave us prayer hands and said enjoy…. ???… how are you gunna be rude and have an ugly attitude and then throw prayer hands at the end…… anyways, hope he finds another job cuz I would have enjoyed that place so much more without the fake namaste attitude lol?AND THE DRINKS? Overpriced … 2 drinks came out to roughly $35…. For a kombucha and a 10mg THC drink…. -_-✨However, the ladies at the food truck though… THEY WERE ALL COOL AF. And the food was ON POINT! :)✨“

“Best Birria tacos in town hands down! I drove all the way from Harlingen, after I found out about this amazing restaurant! It was the best Birria tacos I've ever had! The atmosphere was very calm and relaxing. The music was even better! The staff is very sweet and attentive! Love love love! Highly reccomend!!!“

“This spot is absolutely delicious. The plating on f the food is beautiful. The service is so friendly and attentive. The portions are huge! I will be coming back to try all the different dishes.Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: High chairs available“

“This place is definitely one of my favorite places for tacos now . It's only my 2nd time but there's honestly nothing bad I can say about this place, the foods great, the price is decent an the atmosphere is definitely a good feeling. I highly recommend it if you're looking for great tacos“

“This is by far one of the best places to hang out in downtown San Antonio! The scenery and atmosphere of the restaurant are unmatched for a perfect Sunday brunch. Excellent service from the second you walk in the door. The hostess (Suzy) greeted our party with a warm welcome and set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. My family visiting from Oklahoma City will surely be returning to this restaurant!“

“nice waitress clean,,very good food and good prices. I love thier attitude any talking to everybody it feel like home with all the family it reminds me of the series cheers cause everybody knows everybody there i,give it a 10 Enjoy , the food thank you“

“We moved from Temecula about 2 yrs ago. We haven’t had any luck on finding good Mexican food like Cali flavor.. until we found this gem here in San Antonio.. the food is Extremely Delicious and the service is the best we ever had… I give them 10 out 10 Great job ladies See you soon The Rodriguez Fam“

“My family and I love visiting Ernesto’s, the atmosphere is relaxing and the food is absolutely incredible! The service is also unmatched-they are so welcoming and attentive every single time we come in. This restaurant is a gem. I highly recommend the Crabmeat and Shrimp Veracruz and an Ernesto’s Coffee cocktail for dessert (they can make it decaf!)“

“Delicious food brought from the West Coast to San Antonio, Texas. If you are looking for something different for this area., toostuffed is what you’ll get and is the place for you. I had the Baja burrito and the shrimp was extremely fresh and the slaw was amazing.“

“Our new favorite taco truck in San Antonio. We found it completely by accident and are so glad we did. The food is amazing and the service is fast. We had the pastor and asada which were both really good and the green salsa is bomb! Definitely recommend and will be returning soon.“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a while. Always breakfast and it’s always delicious. Ramon is the best! He recognized me as a returning customer the second time I came in and he welcomes everyone with conversation, making you feel at home. The food! Top notch. If you live in San Antonio you know good and not so good Mexican food. If you like seeking out hidden gems in the city ya gotta find this place and try it out You wont be disappointed.“

“Absolutely amazing restaurant!Got seated right away even though we didn’t have a reservation, the waitress was very attentive and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, great taste and presentation and love that the water is infused with cucumber and lime!The drinks were spot on! Got El Diablo and Aguamala which had their own unique taste, one gave a kick of spice and the other a Smokey flavor. I would recommend this place for a cute date night or even wanting to try something new!The birria flautas were spot on! Very flavorful and mouth watering“

“My review is for the cellar wine shop attached to mixtli. I have not yet had the pleasure of dinning at mixtli (a mistake I shall correct soon).The wine shop on site is literally the best one in town and I'm obsessed with how well Hailey does with her recommendations. Seriously, all you have to tell her is the mood and price point you're after and she will hit it out the park. Every single time. Her knowledge is outstanding and I love how she shares the story behind the wine when you stop in. I am now unable to go anywhere else for wine and I'm honestly not mad about it at all.San Antonio needs more places like this in town!!“

“The owner and staff know that food is love . Very friendly and welcoming actually making the good taste better. Love the chicken fried steak and onion rings. My wife loves the Green chicken enchiladas. Parking can be hard but it's worth the trouble. Better is a dinner of bitter herbs where love is then a feast where hatred is.“

“My family ate at the original La Fonda Oak Hills when I was growing up.My mom and I tried Maria Bonita and were really pleased.First, MB kept most of the MCM décor.The food and the staff are outstanding.MB's is now my go-to restaurant for Tex-Mex.This place is a gem.“

“Mi Familia y yo disfrutamos mucho la comida y la atención al cliente, calidad,sabor,auténticos y atención al cliente, espectacular , recomendada 100% si pudiera le doy 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Venimos de Houston y pasamos a probar y si valió la pena, Que Dios los bendiga y sigan adelante, gracias“

“Great place to go. You can feed one to a family of four. Not much to choose from which makes it easier. There are burgers and fries for the kids but the name of the place is what you go for. My go to is the meal for two people with half a chicken, beef fajitas half a pound, and a sausage. Yum! Along with it is a side of charro beans, rice, and corn tortillas. I’m not a drinker so for those looking for a beer and dinner this is not the place for it. Family friendly. They do have two locations on Culebra, the newer place is less busy. Must check it out. I think the food is moderately priced. The meal for two, I pay $30 before tip.I’ll post a pic if I find one. I forgot to take one when I was there for dinner 7/25/23.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and noise is welcome.Parking: If it’s busy remember there is another location maybe six blocks down the road on Culebra and Colorado.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy accessible parking and entrance.“

“I always ♥️ love going to this restaurant, and this visit did not disappoint. It was my daughter-in-law birthday and everything was amazing ?? I give them five stars ? and two thumbs ?? up!!!!Kid-friendliness: Kids selection was great!!!“

“This location and their other location have been great food has been amazing in both there location, all the years I been eating here. They have never disappointed. Food is always freshly made and delicious. I gotten my friends to come to this location or their other location and they also enjoy the food here. I will always come here for delicious food. The personal here are amazing and always friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone.“

“Went last night to try Pupusas for the first time and the pupusas were great with the slaw and the sauce. Also ordered some pasteles of chicken & cheese, very flavorful. The aguas naturales were also good, and the person taking the orders real friendly and patient. Definitely will be going back.“

“Absolutely the best place around 410 and marbach, I drive 10 min just to sit in their cool lobby,good music and vibeService is great they go out of their way to make sure your order is on pointDefinitely would recommend if your in the area or visiting San “

“They do one thing, and they do it well. The al pastor tacos are cooked correct and they are the same size as you would find on a street cart in Mexico. They have Coke in a glass bottle and they found a way to make Flan even more delicious that usual, adding cajeta should be the new standard!! I'll be back every time I'm in town!!“

“Currently on a quest to find the finest tacos in the Northwest/West region. I've have tried numerous options, and so far these currently stand out as the best. The prices are quite reasonable, and the campechana tacos with the green sauce are simply delicious. The frijoles charros are really tasty too.“

“The most delicious quesadillas I have eaten so far in SA, my favorites are the ones with huitlacoche, pumpkin flower and pressed chicharrón.Abi and Berenice are very nice, always friendly and smiling, and the latter cooks deliciously. ?Kid-friendliness: The menu is also suitable for children.Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp and enough space.“

“Been coming to Plazas since I was 8-10 years old.Best restaurant ever. No other like it!!!Food is absolutely AMAZING. Prices are PERFECT.Service is out of this world!!!Big shout out to the owners and the ones behind the kitchen.Had the best breakfast tacos this morning as well!!“

“BES5 TAMALES AND BARBACOA IN SAN ANTONIO HANDS DOWN! BEEN CONING HERE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND THEIR RECIPE NEVERCHANGES EVERZTHING THEY SELL HERE IS 210% ABSOLUTELLY DELICIOUS! FINGER LICKING GOOD♥️?THANKS ADAM ALWAYS THERE ALWAYS GREETS ME ! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK “

“I had the pollock lunch special with fries. It was very good, but when it came time to pay, the cashier was talking up a storm on the lane line and had me waiting till she got her story across to who ever she was talking to. Please hang up the phone and talk at home. Some of us are on our lunch break and need to get back to work!“

“First time here. I love Mexican food. This is this little Tex-Mex style, but very good. I enjoyed the Carne Guisada. Tender chunks of beef tips in a deliciously spicy gravy. Everything on point. Service was friendly and efficient. Family friendly restaurant good for parties and kids.“

“Okay so I have three tacos I use to initially judge Mexican restaurants. Potato & Egg cause that’s a classic and if you mess that up how can I trust you? Carne guisada because that’s all about getting the spice right AND slow cooking the beef correctly, you cant rush art and a tough carne guisada taco tells me a lot. Lastly a chicharron taco because I feel like that not the most common taco so its easy to slack off on the "less popular" tacos.SO! Where does Chelitas stand? Part of me wants to tell you this place sucks because its already too busy and its getting tough to get a table at my new favorite restaurant as is! So all I have to say is if you hate flavor and delicious tortillas youre gonna hate this place! Lets face it, do you REALLY want to have the best tacos in San Antonio just so your standards are raised and everywhere else now falls short? Its hard to see 4k and go back to VHS, so stay away from these 4k tacos for your tastebuds…“

“Found another hidden gem here on culebra and Ingram rd. In a shopping center. I ordered mini asada tacos, I wanted the plate but miss communication on my part and just got the tacos. They were very flavorful and good. Came with cilantro and onion. Salsa was hot and good as well. Place is very clean, service was fast and they speak English and Spanish. You can order to go or you can sit down and eat. I will visit again and next time try their beans and rice. If you are in the area you can check them out. You won’t be disappointed !“

“First time trying this food truck, it’s so close to my house so I finally gave it a shot.Ordered the Birria quesadilla with consume for myself, and loaded asada fries for my wife. The owners were very nice and patient, and they were generous enough to give us some charro beans, and 3 tacos (1 of each meat that they serve), for free!Everything we ate was amazing! The meats are flavorful, and juicy. The portions are very generous for the price. I definitely recommend, and my family and I will be back for sure.“

“Very good food. Everything tastes home made. Everyone is very friendly and they make you feel right at home. As you are served they will come by your table, several times, and ask how are you and if you need anything. 5 star restaurant. Love it!!Parking: Restaurant gets busy and parking is somewhat difficult.Kid-friendliness: High chairs availableWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp for the handicap.“

“Can not say enough about our experience at Nichas Mexican Comida on West Ave. They accommodated our party of 34 at the last minute. We were on a school trip from Kimball,Nebraska and wanted authentic Mexican food and it did not disappoint. Jose and Marisol took excellent care of us and the food was amazing. If we ever make it back to San Antonio we will absolutely come back to eat.“

“Came here to eat Breakfast at 10AM on a Sunday , The place is a little small. But the food is delicious,Eva’s is a real Authentic Mexican restaurant. This isn’t Tex-Mex. Eva’s is an Authentic Mexican restaurant & they don’t play around in the Kitchen. I ordered 3 tacos Of Beef Fajita, 1 Taco de Asada , & 1 of Barbacoa. And they were delicious, and very filled with Meat. I’ve also ordered 3 Small Menudos & they were very tasty. I recommend everyone to come check out Eva’s, it’s also a lot cheaper compared to other Restaurants.“

“Barbacoca is good, not too greasy, but does need a little salt added. I had a flower tortilla, which is really good. Corn tortilla is thick and a little dry. Both are homemade..you can get a lb, 1 liter of soda and tortillas for 20 bucks, ask for the family deal. It's cheaper that way. It doesn't come with onions or cilantro.“

“The pork and jalapeño tamales have an amazing flavor. They’re the thinner tamales, but lots of filling and not doughy. The staff was soooo nice and helpful. Very reasonable prices. I also bought tamal supplies and salsa. The salsa is not as thick as I like, but has tons of flavor. I wish I lived closer.“

“Excellent brunch! Server was on point. We didn't have reservations but we were sat immediately. The bar is fully stocked. It's a bit dark inside but it's a nice atmosphere. Parking gets hectic but we got lucky with that too lol. No complaints here and we'll definitely return!“
