About
A San Antonio Institution
Off Somerset Rd on the city’s south side, Taquería Mexico has built a loyal following over many years by keeping the basics right: tortas, tacos, and fresh tortillas, made the straightforward way. Reviewers say the kitchen keeps getting better with time — staff, atmosphere, and food are consistently praised as attentive, clean, and delicious, with prices regulars call very reasonable.
The menu leans into classic Mexican comfort food. Regulars rave about the menudo — "one of the best I’ve had," as one reviewer put it — alongside a chorizo, potato, egg, and bean combination, and chips with salsa served warm, exactly the way loyal customers like it. It’s the kind of place that’s equally suited to a quick breakfast taco or a sit-down plate of fajitas and enchiladas with the full bar close at hand.
This is a big restaurant built for big groups: expect a full bar with a wide beer and spirits menu, drive-thru convenience, plenty of parking including handicap spaces, and on weekends, live mariachi. Parties of eight or more get separate tickets on request, and service stays quick even when the dining room is packed — reviewers describe a Sunday morning crowd of 10:30am regulars who keep coming back for the same reason: friendly, fast service and true, authentic Mexican food.
Weekend Mariachi
Live music and a full bar make weekends the liveliest time to visit.
Built for Groups
Large parties, separate tickets, and plenty of parking — including a drive-thru.
