Susanas Mexican Restaurant and Catering — Restaurant in San Antonio

You can tell much about a Mexican restaurant just from the Spanish rice dish. It's good here.

By tradition, Mexican food is, yes, about the food, not the architecture, and not about the pictures on the wall. This restaurant has lots of easy parking, it is clean (with a single restroom) and Rosie the waitress is a top-notch, bilingual professional: quick, and attentive. She's back!

In spite of the great inflation affecting eating-out, this restaurant has managed to keep their prices reasonable and still provide fresh, substantial dishes and tacos.

Though most of the food is excellent and traditional Mexican, on hot days it can be uncomfortable to sit in the lobby. But one can order To-Go, and that remedies the problem. There's no better place nearby, overall, with such a varied Menu.

This is NOT a Fast Food restaurant, and the recipes ARE authentic Northern Mexican, so be ready to wait a bit. It isn't the typical quick but unsatisfactory attempts at Mexican cooking common in San Antonio, that can give Mexican food a bad name. Susana's knows what local people like

Mexican cooking is learned at home, not in some fancy chef school. The owners are 2nd-generation Mex. cooks (There's another Susana's further West, started by the previous generation.)

The background music is sometimes too loud, but it is upbeat. But it's no longer as severe.

The location is not on an expensive main avenue, so those savings in the rent are passed to the customers.

The lobby has just 8 medium to small tables, but the chairs are padded and comfortable. In Winter, the patio will seat more groups.

I wish I could give it a 5 star ⭐ rating, but it has been improving since the new restaurant owner started. The previous restaurant at this location had a bad aura, but modest Susana's deserves recognition. Now, you can't go...

Man let me tell you about susanas on Flores!!!! The food is delicious they have the best breakfast tacos in town hands down❗️❗️ from the bean and cheese to the carne guisada to even just your normal potato and egg tacos you can’t go wrong when ordering any kind of tacos here. Cheese enchiladas are some of the best I’ve had all around San Antonio this is my only place that I go too. The tortillas de harina are hand made no store bought so they come out nice and fluffy but still hold together when getting carne guisada or barbacoa tacos and the huevos rancheros plate is a must in the morning! The atmosphere is great especially when the owner eddy and his wife know you by name after going there so much. Thank you guys honestly the best Mexican restaurant in town for sure. And great prices too no one does 99 cent tacos anymore in 2025 but they still do til 10 am and they have bean and cheese potato and egg Winnie and egg to a bunch more!!! Every person that I’ve taken to susanas has loved the food and have...

Keep coming on back! Whether to stay or to go, can't miss! Delicious tejano style food! Tortillas are on point, soft and fluffy. Wide selection of breakfast tacos - can't miss with staples like papa con huevo or bean and cheese, but the chicharrón guisado never fails to hit too! Lunch menu is also full of tasty well prepared food - the cheese enchilada plate was a real hit, the gravy full of flavor! The other popular dish that never fails to deliver is the huevos rancheros - the eggs are always perfectly cooked and the salsa ranchera is the right...
