J & I Cafe is a hidden gem in downtown San Antonio, known for its family-oriented atmosphere. Despite its unassuming exterior, the cafe impresses with its immaculate cleanliness and delicious dishes. The Huevo Ranchero plate and tacos are highlights, with the carne guisada flavor profile being particularly praised. The beans and rice are considered the best in town. The coffee is good, and while the tortillas could be fluffier, the taste is still satisfying. The cafe has been around since 1989, showcasing its ability to endure the ups and downs of the economy and the pandemic. The location is easy to get to, and the vibe inside is no nonsense yet interesting. Although the restroom is small, the overall experience is delightful. Parking is convenient, and the posted hours may vary. Highly recommended, J & I Cafe is a spot that should not be missed.
