Restaurant floors and tables were clean. Staff is very friendly and helpful with food selections. Chip and salsa were delicious. Wow, cheese enchildas gravy is the best. Rice was moist and fluffy. Refried beans had great flavor. French fries were hot and crispy. Chicken fried steak was just ok….white gravy was great with fries.

The food here is OUT-FN-STANDING. My coworkers and I eat here at least once a week, I highly recommend their “Chicken Fried chicken” as well as their Carne Guisada w/cheese

The good has authentic home made flavor. We enjoyed the small town restaurant atmosphere with friendly staff and very reasonable prices. We will definitely come back to try other dishes.

Literally saw the cashier kick a dead roach to the side of the wall. They also allow some woman to walk in with a dog in a stroller to sit and eat. However, they have good service and the bean and cheese taste great.

Great staff, breakfast tacos is what this review is on. The taste was good. My complaint was the freshness. Chorizo con papa had good flavor but I could tell this was reheated. This was right after opening before 7am. That old refrigerator flavor/smell was in the food. The texture was hard and crunchy.

So I heard a rumor that the BEST chicken fried steak in ALL of good ol’ San Antonio is at a place called Tacos El Rey – and that they only serve these fabled and supposed best chicken fried steaks on “chicken fried steak night” – so we called and they told us that “chicken friend steak night” is Tuesday night – and so here we are! – and man oh man, this chicken fried steak is out of this world, amazing – I think it might actually be THE best chicken fried steak in San Antonio!

I love their Chalupas . They are always fresh. Their beans are the best! Their sweet iced tea is perfect on a hot day. They don’t skimp .. Their plates are always full and hot and quickly served. The waitresses are very attentive and friendly. Good authentic Mexican food…good prices too

I expected homemade tortillas and got tacos coming out, but they weren’t, and my barbacoa taco was not hot, but it was very delicious!!
