La Villita Cafe — Restaurant in San Antonio

Edited to add to my original review: The owners refunded our card and sent a very kind and sincere email apology. This speaks volumes to me on how they value their customers. Thank u! We visited this morning for breakfast. My husband had the French toast with strawberries, two eggs & two slices of bacon. I had an egg bacon corn tortilla taco. We both had coffee. I will start off with the positive. The people working at the front counter were very kind & the coffee was good. I don't like giving bad reviews & RARELY, if ever give a 1 star review but this was unacceptable. My husband's eggs were not done. I mean undercooked and uneatable. The French toast had half a strawberry & luke warm at best. I did go up & tell the male staff member working & he told the cooks in the back & he also came to the table & apologized. Which we greatly appreciate. But no offer to remake the eggs or anything. For the amount of money we paid, I believe $15ish for my husbands plate & what we got was just so disappointing. My egg bacon taco was also very sad. A tiny bit of egg..no seasoning & a very limp tiny piece of bacon. I did however notice when the owner arrived later the food coming out of the kitchen looked a lot better & properly done. I should have said something to the owner but by that time, we needed to go to get to meetings.(We are traveling for work.) So, maybe because we came right when they opened the cooks weren't prepared??? I don't know. I just know as of now I cannot recommend...

Alright let me explain...came to San Antonio for the weekend, and wanted to experience a little piece of San Antonio during my visit. I went to a Latin Club last night to dance a little, afterwards had some late night tacos (a must!).This morning I went for a nice run through Davis Park (so peaceful) and afterwards came to La Villita Cafe....(suspense music playing) this is where they were wrong, Saturday 25th, approx 11:30am I popped into the restaurant and it looks like they are busy. They are doing pretty good for themselves, if people are willing to wait, you know the food must be good and I was EXCITED TO TRY IT!! But I witnessed this barista girl being rude to two gentlemen because they were inquiring about their beverage or whatever. The response back from this barista was something like “this is an Americano not a latte” but homeboy ordered a latte, so who’s in the wrong? witnessing people not taking ownership of their mistakes and wanting to be rude to others is unacceptable. It took my appetite away. How would you be rude to other people when your entire job is based on services to others. Like, I get if they are rude to you then you might have to tell them who's the boss (politely) but girl you need to keep your attitude to yourself and God. Because if people are willing to stand in line to wait for your service and you act like you did, you better believe that I'm not spending my money nor my time there.

Do better. Be better.

Ps. it was the girl with the tattoo behind...

I could imagine this place gets crazy during the high season. It was a lovely visit in the early hours on a weekday, with helpful service the moment I entered. I appreciate someone asking if it's my first time here and telling me about what's popular. There were many good options, and staff recommendations sounded tasty, and I nearly went with pancakes. The omelette was excellent, however, loaded with my choice of ingredients. If you're going for a more authentic experience, burritos look good and are also large. Large portions and good coffee completed the experience. It was worth the short walk off the touristy track to eat here. Lunch looks like it would be great as well, plus some tasty drafts, and I'll return when I'm in town again. Nice little place that isn't not too far from the Riverwalk but it doesn't have a Riverwalk prices. All we had was breakfast tacos and they were more than filling and more than tasty. I had the brisket taco, which was good but then I really wished I would've just gotten two chorizo tacos because they were excellent! The tortillas were some of the freshest and fluffiest tortillas I've ever had in life. I didn't ask but I wished they had corn tacos because those are what I prefer. Overall my order with a large coffee was about six or seven dollars and I was definitely full for the rest of the morning. I would definitely go to this place over other places that are more touristy. They were super friendly, super fast, and...
