  • ★★★★★ Beef Puffy Taco Chicken Mole Enchiladas Dinner Platter Visited Jul 5, 2021

    Great Food, Enchiladas & Puffy Tacos Here Are Some Of The Best

    I've eaten here a few times now, and each visit has given me a chance to try something different. On this visit, I decided to order the chicken mole enchiladas along with the puffy tacos. Both were very good.

    The chicken mole enchiladas had good flavor, the chicken was juicy and tender, and the mole sauce had excellent flavor. I've had the puffy tacos on previous visits, so I already knew they were something I enjoyed. The shells were fluffy with a crisp shell, and the beef had good flavor. They continue to be a solid choice whenever I order them.

    I've also tried several other things here on previous visits, including the cheese enchiladas and nachos, which are two more of my favorites. The cheese enchiladas in particular are something I would easily order again.

    One thing I really like about the menu is the number of combinations available. The Dinner Platter comes with three cheese enchiladas and two beef puffy tacos all on one plate for around $12. That's a lot of food for the price. They also offer combinations such as two enchiladas and two puffy tacos, along with options that include tostadas, so you can mix and match quite a few different items depending on what you're in the mood for.

    The portions here are consistently generous, and the prices are affordable compared with many other well known Mexican restaurants in San Antonio. Food also comes out fairly quickly, so even when I'm looking for a quick meal, I'm not waiting around very long.

    With the variety of the menu, large portions, reasonable prices, and the number of items I've enjoyed over several visits, this is easily a restaurant I'd put among my favorite Mexican restaurants in San Antonio. There are plenty of things on the menu worth trying, and I've had several dishes here that I would order again.

    I also want to mention the customer service. After a previous visit where I had a bad experience, the owner reached out to me directly. I appreciated that they took the time to address what happened and make things right. My next visit was a completely different experience, with everything going well from the food to the service.
