The 14 Essential San Antonio Restaurants

"The casual Dellview restaurant offers a speedy diner experience with a streamlined menu. This taco pit stop grew from a taco stand and serves one thing: Jalisco-style street tacos stuffed with a selection of meats including al pastor, brisket, and lengua on corn tortillas. The counter-service indoor dining room is open until midnight every night, and until very early morning on weekends, making it a popular spot for late-night taco cravings." - Polly Anna Rocha, Ben Gonzalez

Service is really good and fast!! You order your tacos at an open kitchen window were you can see a huge trompo of Al Pastor!! You have your tacos on the spot! I ordered carne asada and Al Pastor, they didn't have carnitas which was a bummer. They had a red salsa and a green timatillo salsa, the green was better, but both not hot, could of used a little hotter salsa, did like the limes and radish it's served with! Al pastor was great, sift, flavorful and juicy meat! Carne asada Steak was kind of bland, average steak taco but still ok. I would definitely go back, quick, good, good service and fast! Recommend the AL PASTOR!!!

The mini tacos are Jalisco, Mexico style. You get the tacos with any meat choice available. I got the pastor (best I’ve had anywhere!) and the tripas (cooked so well with right amount of crisp and softness). It feels like you are in a food truck with the metal sheet walls, but there are tables to sit. The restrooms were designed beautifully and clean. This is a must try when in San Antonio!

This place was amazing. The tacos are great - loved the chorizo tacos. Cheap and very traditional vibe. DO NOT MISS THE FLAN. It was amazing. We ordered one, then ordered 5 more lol. Hence do visit this place. Total was $48 for 5 people with drinks.

Probably one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Line can get long but the service here is excellent. They’re super fast and you won’t be kept waiting long. Food is excellent and super fresh. Everything is proportional from the meat to the toppings on the tortilla. I got 1 of every taco. Al pastor and the buche were my favorite. Salsas were great too. Horchata was excellent too. Perfect to calm the spice from the salsa. When you’re done with your first plate, someone may come by and ask if you want more. Can’t get better service than that. Prices are great too. And they have cool sweets when you go up to pay. A must try when in San Antonio

Got a trio of pastor, steak and barbacoa. Lots of street taco toppings and the red and Verde sauce were on point. Would recommend 👌

No frills, just street tacos that are amazing. Pick the meat you want. Corn tortillas are soft and great as well.

Tacos West Ave delivers consistently delicious tacos that always hit the spot. Their quality is reliable, which makes them our go-to fix. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be their call-in ordering system. While they do take orders over the phone, customers are still required to get in line upon arrival so the tacos can be made fresh. On one hand, this ensures your food is hot and just prepared. On the other, it somewhat defeats the purpose of calling ahead—especially if your goal was to skip the long wait. In my view, phone orders should come with the understanding that the food may cool a little before pickup, but the convenience would be worth it. That said, this is a small critique in the bigger picture. Overall, Tacos West Ave is a fantastic spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving tacos done right.

A San antonio staple, the mini tacos were on point, the atmosphere was energetic, and the prices were wallet friendly. We had 3 orders, pastor, barbacoa, and asada. The carne was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The food reminded my partner of brownsville. The food is rgb certified, enough said. -We bought 3 orders of minis and 2 mexicans sodas for 18$
