This place has the best tacos in all of San Antonio and right on the outskirts of the Alamo. The tacos have tons of flavor. They also have great chips and serve alcohol alcohol. The staff is super friendly with indoor and outdoor seating. You won’t find I’m more authentic taco place in San Antonio

I happened to walk by this place as I finished a visit of the Alamo. Glad I stopped in! The service was really quick, lots of seating and tasty frozen margaritas! The tacos are also really good. Ask about the house favorite, it was in fact delicious. I recommend doing the meal/plate to include a drink and rice and beans.

This is a gem for an affordable and yummy spot to eat, just steps from the Alamo. Most of the restaurants in the area are not to great and overpriced, not Mengerita!
Delicious fresh tacos, served with a smile. Walk up to order at the counter and brought to your table. All the staff was lovely, really nice local vibe. There was a daily special of a 2 taco plate with drink, for under 10 bucks!
We really enjoyed the O Henry and the Sally White tacos. Contected to the historic Menger Hotel this is the place to eat!

I came out to San Antonio to visit the Alamo with my dad, brother, and girlfriend. We ended up walking around and checking out the river walk and decided that we needed some San Antonio tacos. We were recommended by Alexa from San Antonio Tourism to eat here. Absolutely needed and very filling after ordering the two taco meal deal while my dad ordered the Nachos. The San Antonio and The Babe Ruth were my selection and were very delectable. I highly recommend this joint for a quick bite or a big order sit down. 10 out of 10!

I am convinced that the 5 star reviews are that of employees. This place is AWFUL. We had a Fajita taco for $6, yes ONE for $6. We also has 2 Barbacoa tacos for $4 each (they said it was a special), chips n queso which were fixed like nachos, so basically dry chips and a Margarita. The tacos tasted like NOTHING. LITERALLY. The salsa tasted like water. The employees should taste the food before serving it. The Margarita was worth it, do to it being made in the machine and not the employees themselves. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

As we went in to this establishment it was empty just a couple at a to table. Since it was the closest to the Alamo we didn’t want to drive away. This place was simple, seemed a bit old school, but I wouldn’t change one thing if it. Works well with the Alamo. The staff was very friendly. Our order was simple as we just order chicken and beef tacos which was soooo delicious. The rice tasted like box rice which it was the only thing that didn’t impress me. But I was hungry and it fed me . We notice as we waited for our food the place seem to get a bit busy which was cool. The fountain drink were refreshing to have. Our order was place and received quick. The restaurant was clean and I would definitely visit Mengeritas tacos again!!! I look forward to it. ❤️❤️❤️

Awesome spot right next door to the historic Menger Hotel and the Alamo. Frozen margarita was perfect on a hot day, and my taco was delicious. I walked in, ordered, and had my food in minutes. There was no wait. The outdoor patio is misted, and the indoor has a nice atmosphere with cold ac. The service is super friendly, too.

What a great place to grab a wide variety of tacos after a visit to The Alamo! Everyone found something they liked. Food was quick and tacos had great flavor. Rice was bland, but I wasnt ordering that the tacos were what I was Intreated in. Price and tacos were worth the visit!

Great tacos at a reasonable price after visiting the Alamo! I was worried about finding a decently priced place to eat around the popular Alamo area but ended up stumbling across this taco joint. The tacos were tasty and fairly priced with amazing kids prices. Food also came out extremely fast we waited less than 5 minutes for 5 tacos! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.
