Thursday Special Is Where Its At. Enchiladas, Steak, Rice, Beans, Tortillas & Large Drink $6
I just recently started eating at Eddies, and all I can say is, I wish I had tried it sooner. You can't beat the Thursday throwback special. Its dine in or to go. If you dine in you get chips and salsa. The special is all day long, and includes 2 cheese enchiladas in chili sauce, rice, beans, tortillas, and a small flank steak. It also includes a large drink (tea or soda). The price for all this is $6.
The enchiladas here a pretty good, they come out baked nicely, with the chili & cheese fully melted on top, the rice has good flavor and texture, the refried beans are decent, but I like to get the charro beans with my meal. The salsa ain't bad either.. I can easily finish off a bowl while I wait for my order.
You can't get a meal for this price anywhere in town, and I'm concerned with recent inflation that this is going to go away soon. So try it while you can. Its a great way to feed the family affordably on a Thurs.
When it comes to service it can be hit or miss. I've had visits where drinks went empty, I didnt receive chips or salsa, and I recently had my table cleared while in the restroom even after telling the waiter I was going to the restroom. However I was told there was a communication issue, I thought he spoke english since he had spoke to me in english several times, but the manager fixed it and replaced my order.
The best time to visit is probably between lunch and dinner time, but even when its busy, the food comes out quick.
Eddies enchiladas are currently #7 in my list. Not bad for a $6 plate that includes your drink. If you've never eaten here its a must try.
Theres also some other daily specials, happy hour, and a full bar. So you can check out those as well. The main specials are shown in my photos, the colored squares on the banner and table topper.
Eddies has 2 locations, one downtown near Market Square and the other location I usually go to on Thousand Oaks near Wetmore, just a little north of Wurzbach parkway on the N side of the Airport.— Paul

Got Me Coming Back For More. Too Good A Deal To Pass
I've been back 3 times as of this review, mainly to get the Thursday Throwback Special. You cant beat the $5.99 deal. I've ordered 3 plates to go one day, ate 1 at the restaurant for lunch, and took 2 plates to family.
The throwback special includes 2 cheese enchiladas, a small steak, rice and beans (charro or refried), chips & salsa, tortillas, and a large drink with free refills (soda or tea). All for $5.99
The cheese enchiladas are pretty good, not sure if they are top 10, but definitely some of the better cheese enchiladas. The charro beans have differed a little from visit to visit, basically sometimes getting them with more ingredients like hot dogs, or other meat, and none the next time.
The steak is pretty basic, nothing overly fancy, just a small thin steak thats seasoned and grilled, but still pretty decent for the price. The rice is pretty good too.. Nothing to complain about on this place, everything is good.
Not sure why I wasnt given chips and salsa on every visit but that combined with the plate this time was more food than I could eat for just $6. Absolutely amazing for the price. Service has been good on every visit, even when it was super busy at dinner time.— Paul
