  Stopped in for brunch since I was in the area. The food style is authentic Tex-Mex and delicious.
  The food came out fresh and hot!
  We ordered a couple breakfast tacos, a breakfast plate and my son had a Barbacoa torta.
  The tortillas were homemade and delicious!!!
  Friendly staff.
  It's a hole in the wall but well maintained.

  Greasy spoon Tex-Mex spot!
  This place has some big portions, dishes covered in gooey cheese, refried beans with lard in it, and nice fluffy tortillas. I went for the Chilequiles plate- which is always a Tex-Mex favorite. It was covered in cheese, served up with tortillas, refried beans, and potatoes that are charred up nicely. The salsa verde was a bit on the hot side, and full of flavor. The prices were quite reasonable! I was happy to see the bill- I should be coming here more often. The portions are huge, and the food is good! The coffee was a bit on the weak side, but the service was good, and the singing cook in the kitchen had some good tunes.
  This place is Spurs proud! Go Spurs Go! They're huge fans and it seems like eating here is positive mojo for Los Spurs!

  If you aren't careful, you will miss it. That said, Chapala has some great breakfast tacos that are always freshly made and great tasting. Their salsa verde is extremely good as well and I always ask for extra to keep on hand. If you are looking for some great tacos and other delicious food for lunch, make your way over to Chapala Taco House.

  There's 2 good restaurants on this little strip but this one is my favorite.
  You wouldn't think it from the outside but this place has a lot of space on the inside.
  Restrooms are nice and clean. But on to the most important point of a review of this place is the food.
  The food here is amazing. I absolutely love the beans here too. Coffee is good. For cream they have the nondairy liquid creamer. It's not half and half but you can probably drink it black if you're not down as the coffee is that good. Gotta love the flour tortillas here too and don't forget the corn. The taco norteños, well be prepared as it also has bell peppers like a fajita plate so it's a little more stuff than what is listed on the menu just as a heads up is that's an issue. On the Olis taco the guacamole isn't just smashed up avocado, it has some lil onion in it too. There are sooo many choices to try so you can't really get bored and it should be enough meal choices for everyone. The barbacoa here is a good option too. Enjoy!

  I read that these were on the top 10 best breakfast tacos In San Antonio. I was not at all disappointed. The service was friendly, quick. Their food came very quickly with quite a lot of food for the price and very delicious.
