50 Best Tex-Mex Restaurants in San Antonio

“Staff at La Cantera location were incredibly friendly, attentive, and helpful!! 🙌I reserved a dinner for a party of 40 and they were able to accommodate us all! For a party of 35, the food was served rather fast! 10/10 experience! and food was very TASTY! 😋“

“I went there with a bunch of my college friends and honestly everything was great. Chips and salsa was excellent and the guacamole tasted great. We ordered a few top shelf margaritas pitchers and they were just as strong as he said they would be. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately my friends were being rude and lying about what they ordered once they saw the price of the bill. Felt kind of bad for our server because our experience couldn’t have been any better.“

“The best homemade comfort Mexican food in town. Unbelievable flavor, owner really puts time and passion into the food. Very unique menu, all sorts of dishes and flavors.

“We went for Sunday Brunch and shared the chips with guac, queso and salsa and got the cheese enchiladas and the fajita enchiladas. All was good. Next time I would get chicken enchiladas over cheese but it's just personal preference. Add more wine selections available by the glass vs. bottle only.“

“It was a great experience. The service was on point and the food was great.“

“Thank you for the great experience for my daughters graduation dinner Gina was amazing and staff Was fast and always asked if we were Ok and made sure everything was correct and also got coffee for my father which was awesome and last minute but we took our time and never rushed us thank you to all the staff and host and making our day amazing for our guests“

“Nicole was our waitress. Food was good and service was great. Not crowded at all at 6:00 on a Sunday.“

“I love Lupe’s I haven’t had a bad experience yet. Every time I go they tell me it’s a 40 minute wait and it never is. It’s always a short wait in reality. The waiting staff is always on point. The food is constantly good. Margaritas are a good size. The wine they serve is good even the cheapest one on the menu. When i have a bad experience I’ll be sure to point it out. But they have it dialed in over there.“

“The queso is 🔥 and so is everything else. You're safe getting anything on the menu! It'll be tasty. Be mindful if you dont like cilantro though, they have a couple sauces that have a lot of it.

Update: food is still delish. Service is better than ever!“

“My grandparents owned several businesses in the area and as a child we would go there for lunch. I visited the restaurant last Wednesday for the first time in over 60 years. The food and service were excellent and authentic. I visited with several staff members to share my story and found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend visitors to San Antonio to eat at the Blue Moon.“

But Grace made our 27th wedding anniversary and visiting our 5th and newest Grandchild so much better!!! Thank you Grace for being an excellent young lady, waitress, and going above and beyond for my husband and I!!“

I recommend anyone wanting the BEST barbacoa and tamales stop at Rios Barbacoa #2 Deco District! That will definitely be our choice always for our family breakfast traditions!“

“Assume Fajitas, fast and friendly service. 10/10“

“Food was excellent, especially the tortillas. The service was fast and very friendly. The atmosphere was actually cool, but it was very loud and hard to hear ourselves and the conversations we were trying to have at the table. But that may be expected at a cantina's style restaurant. 😉“

“althought the food is great service is not, this was our 3rd time going as its conveniently close to our church,but defenitly will be last, and each time it took at least 15 mins to even have anyone come to at least take our drink order, this time we had to go up to owner and ask if we could get a waitress and she stated she would go as soon as she was done with the drive threw and the front register all whole 1 girl stood around making chip basket and another organizing decor shelves, on top of the fact for 2 tacos and a coffee new special breakfast cost is almost $9 now before 10 am“

“Rich Savory Tacos! Great infusion of flavors with fresh produce🌮“

“We love us some barbacoa from here! All meats the best!!!“

“Our home away from home, we've been bringing the kids here since they were babies. Tony is a fantastic owner and really takes the time to get to know his customers. You're not just a revenue source here; you're family. The staff know us and are friendly and super fast. On the rare occasion they do make a mistake they are quick to fix it and go above and beyond to make it right. A relaxed atmosphere and very family friendly. Very reasonable prices and the sauces are to die for. Whether you are in the mood for enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, floutas, a salad or something in between, Chuy's has got ya covered. Hands down the best Texmex in town!“

“The service was so good, it stood out immediately. As soon as we entered, we were greeted and seated, and our server helped us almost immediately. Everyone was very pleasant and friendly, especially our server.

I had the veggie burger, and it was AMAZING! The flavors all combined very well and even added a scrumptious complexity to the black bean patty. The fries were perfectly crisp and seasoned with a delicious garlic seasoning. I also ordered a margarita that was also very delicious. It was perfectly sweet with a little but of tart in the slushy, and though it didn't taste like alcohol, it made me feel very giddy upon leaving haha.

The restaurant itself was very clean and had a great atmosphere, was air conditioned very well, and smalled like freshly cooked food. I had a very good time at this Chili's :)“

“VERY GOOD AND HOT FOOD. GREAT SERVICE. 🔥“

“I had an absolutely fabulous experience at Teka Molino on Eighth Street in San Antonio! From the moment I was greeted by Victor. I felt welcomed and well taken care of.
There are so many food options — perfect for bringing the whole family! I chose the tacos and was pleasantly surprised — they reminded me of the authentic Mexican food I used to enjoy at my best friend’s home during college breaks. The salsa brought back memories of her mom’s cooking, and the chicken was exceptional — moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned.
But honestly, the best part was the service. Victor and Heri went above and beyond to make the experience special.
Do yourself a favor: say hello to Victor and Heri, tell them you read this review, and don’t forget to order the puffy tacos and the green chicken enchiladas — top-notch! Thank you, guys, for an amazing experience, I WILL be back!!!“

“Okay….. first of all Edward was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable about the food with recommendations. EVERYTHING was good! Watermelon Ranch Water to chips and salsa. Mole, sopa de tortilla and fajitas. We then ordered chocolate flan and sopapillas! Dear Lord, Thinking I may have to Uber back to the hotel!!!!!“

“I ordered Torchy’s through doordash and my dasher forgot some of my order, I called Torchy’s and Mike the manager called doordash in my behalf to work the situation out for me! They remade my tacos and tried to get a new dasher out but doordash wouldn’t since I had accepted a partial refund already and then the manager called doordash back and got me the whole refund and remade the tacos for me to pick up myself. Thank you Mike🙏🙏🙏“

“Great food and service . Food was amazing will definitely come back . I highly recommend this place .“

“When in San Antonio for a convention, we had the choice opportunity to enjoy some good eats from “Big Dub’s Munchie Madness” Good fresh ingredients verified and it comes through in flavor. Clean kitchen. Super quick. Great people serving up some yummy favorites. Thanks guys!“

“The Spinach Omelete is my favorite and is always cooked to perfection. I usually add jalapeño and mushrooms. Unfortunately, after waiting, I had to choose another dish as they were out of Spinach? It happens I guess.

So I chose their Machado plate as a last resort and was pleased with my meal. I've had their Menudo in the past and it's very tasty as well....lol, I probably should have just ordered that, but it wasn't the weekend yet.“

“I try to visit at least once a month and this visit was the same....STELLAR!!!🎯 Don't ever change. You guys rock!“
