Los Barrios Mexican Restaurant: A San Antonio Culinary Treasure

Que Rico! This place is bomb. Delicious TexMex classics doing it old school with the orange colored corn tortillas for the enchiladas con chili gravy. Truly simple and spectacular joy to eat. Homemade and warm! chips with fresh salsa are addicting. Great bite of food every time. A little pricier than nearby options, but worth your weekend splurge. You deserve it!

This restaurant is amazing! The food was delicious : you need to try the puffy taco and the quesataco :D ! The staff was so kind and joyful. We love the owner, Diana. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity taking time and pictures with us. We recommand this family friendly restaurant 100%!!

Service is wonderful and food delicious Found it amusing reading the many reviews complaining about the chips not being free they're 1.99 extra....1.99! If 1.99 is that much of a burden then maybe do yourself a favor and have dinner at home. We ordered a large guacamole and a large chile con queso so our chips were included but I'd have no problem paying for them. The salsa they give you is not too spicy but really flavorful. Our waiter was super attentive and made sure we were good from start to finish. Highly recommend

Los Barrios is a legendary local spot that absolutely lives up to the hype. The puffy tacos are a must (crispy, airy, and loaded), and the classics are dialed in—enchiladas verdes, carne guisada, and quesadillas with poblano, fajita, and shrimp were all spot-on. Salsa is fresh, portions are generous, and everything hit the table hot. Service was warm and efficient—even during the rush—and we never felt rushed. The space works for everyone: indoor dining, bar seating, booths, and a patio/terrace; easy to bring a crowd or keep it casual for two. Plenty of free parking and we had no wait on our visit. If you’re craving the real deal Tex-Mex (and beyond), this is the place.

Service is great and fast food is top notch. Best beef steak rancho I have ever had. Spicy but just enough heat to enjoy eating your steak. Puffy Taco is next level full of flavor, a must try item.

I ate lunch here with the family it was definitely good compared to some other “Mexican” restaurants. The food was amazing! I rated 4 stars due to the service from the hostess. She sat us next to their storage room with the doors wide open so we had a nice view of some cleaning buckets and ladder and some other stuff that you don’t want to look at while you’re eating. The table she put together was dirty it still had food crumbs all over it. When the waiter came we asked for a new table. Anyways back to the food, the cabrito is a must try it’s super tender. My husband had the chicken red mole which he enjoyed. There isn’t many restaurants that can make a good red mole. I would definitely recommend this place.

Fantastic dinner! Ruben took great care of us. Made us try different sauces. The Mole' is amazing! Mr. Barrios stopped by the table to chat.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Los Barrios Mexican Cuisine – 4223 Blanco Rd, San Antonio, TX 78212 I had a fantastic lunch at Los Barrios today. The chicken tortilla soup absolutely blew me away — easily the best-tasting version of this soup I’ve ever had. Rich flavor, perfect seasoning, and incredibly comforting. My fajita tacos came out hot, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell they take pride in getting the basics right. On top of the great food, the service was excellent. Friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. Overall, a memorable meal and definitely a spot I’ll be returning to.
