Crystal's Cafe San Antonio Reviews
Very good mexican food. Very good prices. Enjoy, while you dine in...
Fast service and tacos were generously filled
Everytime I go in, our waitress Cuca is so friendly and gives us the friendliest smiles. I love going to talk to her!
Food is always on point! my favorite place to come get my carne guisada tacos they are thee best!
Watch out this not a "good vibes only" area. All vibes are welcome. The cooks,owner and family are kind .The waitress don't smile but she never has. That's her personality and I love it because she is real and true to who she is.She serves you well, so her service speaks for itself. I've been going there for 38 years when it was then Norma's. The carne gasada is real Tex-Mex beef dark stew, and it's the best . The carne gasada and enchiladas remind me of the old tink-a-tako on Fredericksburg. Old school Horace Mann tigers still eat there.
Been coming here since I was a kid and now at 42 it’s so one of my favorite places for tacos, the best enchiladas in town hands down, the carne guisada with cheese is a must have.. The people are always so friendly.
Everything was great. Carne guisada is good. Fajita tacos are great. And the 2 salsas are awesome. Food is always on point when we go. The owner is a good guy and always have a conversation with him. Will ge going again
I recommend Gisada taco it’s is very good. The problem it’s the waitress she had a bad attitude
A very nice little cafe that seems to get good business. The food (Lunch Special) was, tasty, well priced, service was fast, and the environment was very pleasent and homey. The proprietor and his family were very kind and accommodating, having owned their restaurant here for about 20 years it would seem. Definitely a place to check out for a nice meal for those who enjoy Mexican food👍🏻
We stopped around 8 am . It was dead no one just us. The waitress was not friendly. She looked mad no smile. The food was cold to the cheese on my taco was not melted. Not going back.
So disappointed. Our family meets for breakfast at different restaurants once a month. Usually it's a wonderful experience with good food and good service. Unfortunately, this place had good food but the waitstaff was not happy to be here. Rude, no smiles, no coffee or water refills except for once without asking. Didn't check on us to make sure we had everything; just here, eat and leave (that's how we felt). Maybe they were have having other issues but we won't be back.
Trying this spot out and not impressed. Chorizo n egg taco lacked flavor(do not waste your time), country n egg a la mexicana was good and the carne guisada was good too. Heard their enchiladas were good but I had breakfast(I know I'd like them cuz I think they used American Cheese) . Chips n salsa were good but they only had lil too go cups and ran out of this reddish one they have that preferred over their roasted one 🤦♂️ 2.5 Tacos out of 5.
Watered down beans. Overpriced plates. Upon entry there is a moldy stench and carpets are FILTHY, spotted from water or greasy, mold?? No clue other than ceiling has paint chipping and a/c vent about to cave onto the floor. Total bill for two people: enchilada plate, chilaquile plate and tea was $26.40 not including $2 tip. Waitress looked like she just rolled out of bed and she was not friendly at all. First and last time at this smelly dump!
