Taqueria Aguas Calientes: Authentic Tex-Mex Delights in San Antonio

I was a little skeptical of going to a new place but let me tell you all the food was amazing. I ordered the Barbacoa plate. Serving size was good. The meat was not greasy at all, which I love. My mother had the Chilaquiles Mexicanos plate and it was also very good. My son had the chorizo and potato taco and it was so good. Service was good and all for an amazing price! Definitely will be stopping by in the future when I come to San Antonio.

The Tortilla was very good. It was thicker and was very soft. The filling to the tacos not as good as some others we tried lately. We prefer a intact piece of bacon as you get more taste and crisp out of it rather than cut up pieces of bacon. Overall it was still good though.

Great hole in the wall place. The breakfast tacos are good and reasonable. The service was great.

Really great food and good prices! Service was great as well!

First time here was nervous about to head this way incase it’s a long wait. It’s wasn’t. You walk in it’s self seating or you can get in line and order. Serve the best chips and salsa. I ordered the menudo and barbacoa taco. will update: it was an absolute delicacy! Will be returning before we head back home. And for many years to come .

I've been curious about this restaurant for quite some time. I finally pulled in and enjoyed lunch. Beef enchiladas were scrumptious, and the huge bowl of fideo was tasty as well. The staff were friendly the waitress could have been a bit more attentive. I'll be back to try other items on their menu. I hear their breakfast is good. Prices were reasonable

Went today during some downtime and it was more than just a delicious meal, it was an experience. Upon taking my order the staff got up, went to the kitchen, started blasting Mexican music, and went straight to cooking. I got no idea how anyone can have a bad time when the atmosphere is that fun. Asides from the environment, the complementary chips and salsa was absolutely amazing, and then my meal itself was large and plentiful. I spent 13 dollars for so much food! I am able to eat plenty and still have enough food leftover for breakfast or lunch tomorrow. It’s a hidden but well beloved gem, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who likes good food!

First visit. Cars in their lots and a few tables available. 9:30 am on Saturday morning. It appeared one of the waitresses was brand new as she didn't know where a spoon was located. Not being critical, just observant. Service was slow, but the wait staff was hustling, just over worked this morning. We walked in and found an available table as there wasn't a "wait to be seated" sign visible. It took a few minutes before anyone acknowledged our presence despite walking past the table several times. Menues were on the table, so we started looking. By the time someone took our drunk order, we were ready to order food, but weren't given the chance. As soon as I mentioned coffee, she turned to the coffee bar to make a pot - they were out of coffee. She brought the coffee, but no spoon. When I caught the new waitresses attention and asked if I could please have a spoon, she turned to another waitress who showed he where they were. They brought our food, and I had to ask for salsa. It took a few trips past me before she grabbed some and set it on the table. Food was good. Daughter had bean & cheese tacos and I had a barbacoa taco and a machacado taco. The barbacoa was not too fatty, and the machacado was not gristly at all. The food was delicious and well prepared. I waited til the line at the register went down. No ticket was brought to the table. I told her what table number (on the napkin dispensers) was ours and she rung it up. Overall it was a good experience, and I left a 40% tip to encourage their progress. Next time I'm in the neighborhood for breakfast, I will definitely return!
