CFS supposed to be great. BS! Wrong meat, they use ground meat inside of a fair amount of breading. Other dishes are tex-mex, it's San Antonio...you could do better. More

Alamo Cafe is one of the best places in for Tex Mex food in San Antonio. From the fresh made tortillas to the refreshing margaritas sto the sizziling fajitas, you can't go wrong with any item on the menu. Either I-10 or HWY 281 site outstanding. More

This place is SO commercial, touristy, back stage hollywood-scene lot, made for TV mexican drama soap opera novela. SO as a Texan I should hate it? But I confess, I like it. They have the best tortillas in town. Chewy and thick. The chile rellenos are great as are their pork tacos and margaritas.Yet another place San Antonio folks might... More

Please go to Taco Cabana for this type of food. You pay to much for this fast-food quality, sit-down restaraunt wanna-be. More

This is a great place to eat. It has good Mexican Food and what I consider a great chicken fried steak. Not a whole bunch of batter and little meat. One who specializes in Chicken Fries will know what I'm talking about. Give this place a try. More

Back in SA for a visit, 7 years after moving to the northeast. A distinct lack of Alamo Cafe restaurants in Pennsylvania determined our dining location our first evening in town. This location in North Central SA has such a lovely setting in among the live oaks, too! Great chips, great salsa (though less of a "bite" than I remembered)... More
