taco haven

customer service means 0! ordered 4 tacos, verified 2, got there and confirmed again then left w/ 3 & when i called they say "u only paid for 3". i told them the point is that i specifically ordered 4, now whether i was charged for 3 is irrelevant. i spoke to 2 different people whom i repeated my order and the fact that no accommodation was made to rectify their mistake i got a "well next time check your bag before leaving". epitome of bad service! won't return or recommend to anyone

i have praised this place for awesome mexican food before. i finally tried the 26. tommy’s carne de puerco en chile colorado. the best i have had! just take your fresh homemade tortilla tear off a piece and scoop up a piece with sauce and enjoy! it melts in your mouth the meat is so tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful!

lunchtime favorite. i go here for lunch with coworkers on average 2-3 times a month. they recently updated the inside. service is good and i have a hard time resisting getting the cheese enchiladas, i think it is the sauce they are just so good. the ralphies special is always good as is any thing i have ever ordered there. they fill up at lunch and it can be a little noisy, but is part of the ambience.

best breakfast in sa. the reggie is simply outstanding. its just... perfect!

atmosphere and good food!. taco haven is a southtown institution -- friendly, family atmosphere and good food -- complete with the requisite mural of a buxom maiden in the arms of an aztec warrior. menu standouts -- ralphie's tacos: chicken taco with shredded cabbage; flautas: all white meat and not at all greasy.

tacos!. best barbacoa in town. order to go if possible on weekends it gets slammed. to go staff is very friendly.

chorizo not the greatest but everything else i've had there is delicious!

que mas quieres?. sunday morning, january 30, 2012:
i ordered one of my favorites, nopalitos on a tortilla de maiz and was not disappointed. i tried a taco haven special taco for the first time, and i liked it too. waitstaff was courteous and friendly, coffe cup kept full, crowd was all families enjoying their after-church feasts.

not the best but okay. opens at 6 a.m. during the week. arrived about 7:30 a.m. bathroom was a mess and smelled like a sewer. ordered taco on corn tortilla. the corn tortillas are made there but this one didn't have that great slightly toasted exterior and tender interior that we love. it was barely warm and had no color at all such as warming on a comal would impart. the salsa verde was good; so was the service but i will not go out of my way. any restaurant that is voted the best in san antonio needs consistent quality.

terrible experience for lunch. we waited 45 minutes for cold tacos! tacos! um, taco haven?

since my parents and i would be in san antonio for about 24 hours together, my mom wanted us to try out a restaurant she'd read about from alison cook , a food writer at the houston chronicle. it's funny, back when i was in newspaper my senior year of high school, my mother wanted me to ask the teacher if i could write restaurant reviews for the school's paper, and here i am 7-8 years later, writing a restaurant review blog. anyone who knows anything about that newspaper situation will know my mother's idea wasn't going to happen. i stayed on during this teacher's regime, not having a better class to take during that time slot. i happily spent my time as a lowly "reporter," shitting out one lame, bare minimum requirement fulfilling article per week in about 4 minutes, and then spending the rest of the time finding new ways to get around the school's internet blocking mechanisms in order to play around on ebaumsworld. does that site still exist? apparently , but i don't think anyone act

this place rocks !! an now they're open for dinner !! new bar and seating !!!

not bad for breakfast. in all fairness, i've only eaten at taco haven at breakfast. for a long time, i've heard people rave over the quality of the food there. i've liked everything i've gotten from there, but it's been nothing amazing. the people who run the place are really nice people. they are really stingy with the hot sauce on to-go orders. the last time i took breakfast tacos to work, they gave us only two tiny containers of salsa (about 2 teaspoons) for 10 tacos. sometimes they leave it out totally. be sure and check for hot sauce before leaving.

yum!. it should be called taco heaven. i love the big beef fajitas tacos here and the chicken flautas are delicious. im going again ....

best tortillas in sa. breakfast or lunch is always a treat here. i love the tacos suaves plate. the corn tortillas are made in house (you can watch them make them from the windows on the sidewalk) and are soft and thick. the rice and beans are always on the money. for breakfast get some tamales!

barbacoa induced bliss. tth is great, if but only for the no. 1 reggies special. this is barbacoa induced bliss of the highest order. with the papas con chile and the quesadillas its over the top. plan to take a nap immedietly afterward. i've had other good dishes there too like the isabel's special. homemade corn tortillas are delish.

the service was a bit slow, but it was busy. the soft tacos are awesome and are highly recommended.
