Reyna De La Cocina — Restaurant in San Antonio

I was visiting a friend in the area and we opted to find a place for lunch. We settled on this restaurant.

I was able to park in front of the restaurant. Note there are about 6 parking spots in front, and many more behind the restaurant.

We entered, and the wait staff motioned that it was open seating, and that we could sit anywhere. It was 95 degrees outside and noticeable warm inside the restaurant. Just noting it here because my friend remarked a couple of times that he was warm. I'm guessing the temp inside was between 80 - 82 degrees.

Our server greeted us and spoke fluent English and Spanish. They brought us menus and took our drink order, which I ordered an unsweetened tea. They also brought chips and salsa to our table.

I normally will order beef enchiladas. I did not see them on the menu and asked if they were available? Our server indicated that they could make them for me. My friend joining me for lunch, ordered the Asada street tacos.

Our food was ready in a timely manner. Some additional hot sauces were also brought to the table, the red one being the one with a little bit of heat - noting here in the event you decide to visit and/or try the sauce.

My enchiladas were tasty, and I suspect we're the Picadillo ingredients made into an enchiladas and smothered in cheese. Again, tasty. The accompanying rice and beans were OK. The Asada meat had some lining in it was I saw friend pull some pieces out of his mouth and set them to the side. He noted, the flavor was OK, just a little fatty.

Overall, nice lively decor inside, a tad warm, and food that was OK, but in my opinion overpriced for the amount and type of food ordered. Service was excellent.

I had a good experience, but would visit again only to confirm my assessment in this review. I'm sure the place gets lively because of the decor...

Overall, after many unrelated restaurant interruptions, the ladies working this morning were very nice and understanding. The breakfast and lunch specials are reasonably priced and the food is stacked on and plentiful. I took some food to go to share with friends and family. I appreciate great service and this morning these ladies went above and beyond. I wasn't able to take photos of my food today due to extenuating circumstances, but it just gives me more reason to return now. So a return visit is already in the works. Oh, and the Huevos Rancheros breakfast plate special was Super loaded with food and there was a huge surprise when I cut into my eggs, A CRISPY CORN TORTILLA!!! WHAT?? SO AWESOME AND UNEXPECTED!! Come out and give it a try. You will not be sorry you did. Great neighborhood place to grab a bite, and the coffee was tasty and not watered down. And masks are required and social distancing is in effect. Tables are also spaced out and closes off for this...

I usually come to this location most of the times and what made me upset today was I just had my baby and sent my husband to this specific location even though I was a little far and to get back old tortillas and the food had like an off taste the tea was also old as if I was the day before I usually don’t complain but those tortillas were not even a day old they seemed to be more than a day old….. I did receive my money back but will I be going back I truely don’t know!!!! I used to work at a Mexican restaurant so I know the routine but when you have regulars ask yourself would you eat that or...
