Would you give it a 10?
If I were a wait person I would cringe to see my wife walk in the restaurant door. I am sure there are other diners more daunting to serve and more demanding than my wife and I will cite my brother's former mother-in-law as an example. She absolutely was not happy unless she was complaining about some aspect of the food served her. And if the food was impeccably prepared, then the service was the vent for her seismic scale volcanic eruption. I was game to accept a dinner invitation when the in-laws and family congregated for a dinner rendezvous in my early years as it usually meant a free dinner. Subsequently I developed all manner of excuses to avoid a certain to be an embarrassing repeat of the MIL's ballistic behavior.
Don't get me wrong. My wife may feign an aloof discord to a perceived restaurant faux pas, but readily softens into her congenial self once an attempt is made to mitigate a problem. Extra points for speed and accuracy here.
I must admit that today I contributed to the probability that the kitchen would err. With the instructions that my wife gave the waitress, however, there were two full pages of notes that comprised our order today. The waitress made light of the tedious affair and we joked over the five minutes that it took her to transcribe the verbal directives.
It went something like this: make sure the nachos are cheesy, please substitute beef for cheese enchiladas, chicken instead of beef taco and make it a puffy rather than a crispy, serve the puffy on a small plate by itself, substitute potatoes for the rice, make the tortillas half corn half flour, and add a puffy bacon and egg taco with crispy strip, not chopped, bacon to my order.
Everything was made fresh to order. The sauces on my juevos divorciados could not have been better and the eggs a viscous medium. The puffy bacon and egg taco was frankensteinian in its uniqueness and mouth watering in its consumption. "It's alive! It's alive!" (No apologies for my cinematic coltishness.)
Here comes the fly in the soup. The enchilada beef for cheese substitution had missed the boat, failed to make the grade, stumbled outta the gate and was otherwise absent for roll call. With a slight glow still remaining from earlier jovial discourse, my wife made the error known, but very amicably done. (Relief!) Faster than I have encountered the manual assemblage from scratch of two stuffed beef enchiladas, the steaming beefsters sat smoldering in front of my wife.
With more plates on the table than any industrial size lazy susan could ever hope to facilitate, we mutually m-m-m-m-ed and wowed in recognition of each scrumptious bite. We vowed not to let the opportunity to taste their breakfast tacos get away and so ordered several to go on their in house made, larger than normal tortillas.
We thanked the cook/owner of the place as we exited the small neighborhood restaurant with a satisfied grin and a belt loosened waddle. And a parting joke for the next time we come in was to write up our own food ticket essay beforehand. In spite of the mistake or maybe because of it, brunch today was a highly...
ย ย ย Read moreWe ordered 5 tacos. My spouse recommended it so figured Id drive to pick up breakfast around 9am. As far as type of tacos honestly there is a BUNCH of them including plates so in my perspective mostly anything you can think of is probably on the menu so just ask them if they have what you want in a taco and they'll let you know yes or no. I believe for 5 tacos we paid less than $10 maybe around $8. We ordered a combination of (dont remember all of them but some were) Potato Cheese & Egg, Bean & Cheese, Bean Cheese & Egg. In another restaurant more well known just a Bean and cheese is already around $4 for 1 taco. The taste of each taco was resemblance of home made as in if you had a mom or grandmother who made breakfast tacos type of homemade. Even the tortilla tasted like the made it fresh not store bought frozen etc. They even fill them up nicely unlike other location where its almost pure tortilla. It's now going to be my go to taco location not just cause the price is very affordable, but because the quality overall made me miss my grandmother and her cooking. So thank you to my spouse for finding and introducing me to this place. Cheers to many many more tacos I'll devour before...
ย ย ย Read moreHas some the best I have tried around San Antonio, I recommend the Huevos rancheros for breakfast..... Add some barbacoa to that and you have a amazing breakfast plate. For lunch I recommend the "Angy" plate beef or chicken fajita with a chicken/beef/ or cheese enchilada with rice and beans. The coffee is good not the best but definitely a breakfast coffee/ the tea is sometimes to sweet but if you like sweet tea this is the spot always good, the tortillas are by far some of the best tasting tortillas both corn and flour tortillas are homemade. The bean and cheese tacos also definitely you have to try. But really this place there food all around is good . You have to try. The staff are friendly as well and prices are...
