Please ask for a receipt!!! Especially if you are going through the drive through. They thought they could get away with giving themselves a $10 tip! I ordered 6 tacos and an orange juice and it came out to $19 and some change, something made me check my transactions a few moments ago and they charged $30! I called over the phone and ordered the same thing and then asked for a total. They said it’s $19 and some change and I go on to say well why did y’all charge me $30 then!?! They had some excuse that the lady at the register is new which is bs because I had been there before! Beware of these scammers! Yes I got my $10 back but I’m just warning everyone out there! PLEASE ASK FOR RECEIPTS!!!

I normally go to the drive through and get four or five breakfast tacos.Spending around thirty to forty dollars on just the tacos, and it has been fifty fifty whether they are good or not.
But today, I went in for lunch and I got
Something a LA carte, 5 breakfast tacos, And then a two teas in togo cupsorder, a water with lemon and a mexican coke in total, Spending sixty plus dollars with an eighteen percent tip of seven almost eight dollars. Not only has the service been rude, but also lacking of hospitality majority of the time.
If you want a quick bite to eat and you're in the area I say sure stop here but overall, its not really a good breakfast spot or taco spot.
Majoratiy of the food needed seasoning or extra cooking or something other, But we're not the type to complain nor send back the food.
Although I personally am the type to inform, so here is my review.That is a bit all over the place.But it's an honest review.

I was charged 54cents because I went to the drive thru and my one taco needed a bag.The manager said the charge was for the bag and napkins.i understand if I ate inside and needed a bag for my leftovers but in the drive thru?This place is not good enough to be paying extra for a bag.

Both the food and service are pretty good. The place is a little smaller, but able to accommodate families.

Been to do many places for tacos. I'm my opinion Sylvias is in my top 3. The taste is great. The pricing is average. The amount of food in the tacos is filling. I love in mid downtown San Antonio and will drive to west Ave and hildebrand for these tacos.

Just got a bean n cheese and a papa ranchera and both were SO good. The papas were so soft and the salsa ranchera was decadent tbh. Melted in my mouth and left me wanting more. Simple yet effective!! Usually I don’t like that yellow velveeta type cheeese on my bean n cheese so maybe this wasn’t it but looked like it, but from here, with the beans it tasted amazing. Whatever yall are doing keep doing it bc I haven’t enjoyed tacos this much in a while!! Thank u for serving delicious food to our community 🥰

Ordered a bacon and egg and a carne guisada with cheese. Two breakfast tacos for $8?!? The wait was long, even though there was no line. Assumed my tacos would be fresh and hot after waiting 10 minutes in the drive thru. Flavor was good, but the tacos were cold! Won’t be going back.

The stag is welcoming and environment is homey. Treated like family and the food, what can I say but finger licking good. The salsa has a kick which I LOVE ❤️. Thank you hubby for taking us over. Love you Sylvia we'll see you soon. Every dish is awesome 👌.

Food was great. Chilaquiles and the norte taco were great. Was comfortable for us to eat in there especially with our stroller and 8 month old baby on a hot morning
