Los tacos bien servidos, un lugar limpio y las personas del lugar muy amables
The order of mini tacos is enough to fill you up they don't skimp you on the amount of meat 😋 like the taco places in austin texas. They have suadero, Buche, cabeza, chorizo, and the best pastor en Trompo. For $7.99, now if ya like them tripa, Lengua, and cabeza they are $10.99 for 5 tmini tacos. Will tell my fam and friends. I recomend this place

Delicious Al pastor tacos and horchata. The salas were amazing
Nachos and ere good and lemonade was natural and refreshing
OMG! I wish I came sooner! Definitely a MUST to visit! Delicious! SUPER RICO! Lasting que no a llegado aqui mas pronto! Rico!!
We ordered over $100worth of food the potatoe was not what I expected but my son still ate it he said it was good the alpastor was really good the tacos have a lot of meat and the tortillas were not the best not a fan of yellow tortillas
I was so glad to find out they are open late night. I stopped by at 1am . I am satisfied with good quality and presentation. Nopalito asado and papita on the side slapssss !
If you were in Vegas on the strip and went to El Gordo, well San Antonio got the same. Buché, tripas, mollejas, lengua, etc excellent place and tasty.
Tacos were delicious and service was great and fast, lots of tasty drinks! Can't wait to come again
Had these for lunch today and can say that these tacos hit the spot! The suadero and pastor were on point! Will be looking forward to eating here again
It's great tasting food 😋 but prtions keep getting smaller as prices keep rising
these tacos were delicious 😋 this restaurant is not tex Mex so if you're looking for that go elsewhere. these are street tacos and they are delicious
The pastor was delicious as well as the agua de pepino! The staff was attentive and nice and the place was clean.
Visiting from Galveston and the food and customer service was the best!!! Definitely will come back before we leave town.
Great food, all the ladies were very helpful and nice the whole time. Definitely going back for the service and the food
First time here. Went with my wife and some friends and let me tell you I was blown away. I had the watermelon agua frescas 5 tacos al pastor with charro beans and salsa . Everything was so good. I was pleasantly surprised that the agua fresca was sweet and refreshing, the tacos came filled and had nopales and really well seasoned potato on the side with cilantro and onions. They brought out all kinds of salsa which were also really good. I felt like I was back in mexico here with all the delicious food! I would 100% recommend this place to people even though it's a bit pricier than a taco truck. Some of the best Mexican food I've had since living here in San Antonio! Way to go guys !
I love the pastor and my wife loves the asada. We’ve probably tried over 100 little taco places here in San Antonio and this is one of our favorites.
Great little place! We had pastor and asada tortas. They were great and well dressed with avocado, onions and cilantro. They also had a five different salsas to choose from. The inside of the restaurant is very clean and fresh with a nice, modern Mexican vibe. The waitresses are nice and attentive. I will note that the drinks are over priced and they do not have cups for water. I will definitely be coming here again!
this is the best mini taco restaurant I've been to. the food arrived hot and full of flavor. the horchata is by far the best I've tasted. I recommend this place to everyone
I've tried multiple street taco places around SA and none of them come close to this place. Definitely a hidden gem, all the food and aguas frescas are full of flavor! I personally tried the carne asada mixed with crispy tripa and an agua fresca de horchata. Don't forget to try the asada fries!
Not being from Texas, I was worried by the name "Mini Takitos." I figured they were going to be small, to my surprise they are just regular tacos. I tried the cabeza and they were good, a little too much fat for my liking. Otherwise, really great food. Agua frecas are really good!
Food is delicious! They just opened up so their menus small but they'll serve a lot for what you order. I tried the quesadilla special and it was delicious! It came with a side of beens in sauce with bacon bits and sausage. It also came with a few veggies on the side.
They have a great taste ....aguas preparadas the best in town....
Staff was very friendly. Food was amazing 10/10 will definitely be coming back soon.
The tacos 🌮 were freshly made and hot, and the salsa was hottttttt fire 🔥 . The tacos were stuffed .I called it their tacos 🌮 here at El Gordo like mc.hammer said, "Can't touch this." They don't sell beer. And I don't know if we as customers can bring our own beer? But these tacos 🌮 and the waitresses were fire. Lady's yall did great serving your customers. Takitos west ve ain't got nothing on EL GORDO!!!!
My gf and I love this place! Their carne asada is some of the best around! The tacos and burritos are tasty and filling. They also have stuffed baked potatoes, tortas and asada fries! We absolutely love it and highly recommend!
Fresh delicious food! First time here. Fast friendly very clean too
Gorda here! These mini tacos are delicious! I liked that the cilantro and onions came on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted to each taco. The beans are delicious! The asada nachos are drool worthy! The tortas are filled with meat! Don't even get me started on the agua frescas!!!! 🤤 I have tried all flavors and I always have a hard time deciding which flavor to get because they are all so refreshing!! Because this is a restaurant in a building and they have staff, the price of the food is more expensive than a food truck. I will be back to try more items! 🌮 Don't forget to tip well! The staff is so friendly and attentive!!
Very nice staff, food is great and fast. Outside tables are nice and clean, music (not loud) and lights around the outside dining area.
Clean, quick, and great service! Bunch of meat names as option for your tacos. I asked if I can mix and match my order and they said yes! My plate came with a bunch of sides like grilled nopales, half a tiny potato, and ur usual cilantro and onion..that pico de gallo with roasted tomato and mango was great. They have 4 different salsa options they hand leave with you at your table
Food and service were AMAZING!! I the plates were less than 10 dollars each and well worth it. The flavored water though….8 dollars essentially with the flavored rim so probably skip that, but I will definitely go back again.
Fast service!!! chorizo, asada, al pastor were delicious. You can mix-match your taco meat. It doesn't have to be 5 of the same meat. Grilled onions galore. My favorite!!!
We looked for this place after going to traders village and I will say it did not disappoint. The food was great we couldn't even finish out food and let's not get started on the price, it was so affordable really appreciate that in this economy. Service was 100 and beyond the ladies are friendly and very attentive the cashier made you feel so comfortable. We travel a whole lot for work and me and my wife appreciate finding this little spots to make us feel at home.
Just visited Mini Takitos El Gordo and it was so good! The carne, salsas, veggies and Aqua Fresca were fresh. It was not crowded and the service was excellent. If you’re looking for a new taquito spot check them out.
The pastor was really moist and tasty Charros beans are smooth and tasty and the cucumber water is really good it's my first time eating here and it was amazing nice staff I'll definitely comeback to have more when I can ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome taquitos! I love the buche taqs, they were better than the usual spots i frequent. They taste fresh & juicy. I washed it down with a Mexican coke, went down good. Hit the spot! Try some buche taquitos here!
I love coming here, the Papa Loca is my absolute favorite thing to get, it's always so delicious and packed with flavor. I always want to try other menu items but it's just so good! I want it every time. The Aguas Frescas are good too, they come dressed and in huge cups!
5 Mini Tacos for $7.99, not bad in my book. They pack them well. I like that the add all the sides: cilantro, raw onion, grilled onion, grill jalapeño, grilled nopal, and a small potato. The reviews about it not being Tex-Mex enough. Of course, this is not that type of restaurant. They have their own style, and it's working. You order, you sit at your indoor or out door area, and they bring you your order to include your drink and 3 different salsas to try. The drinks are overly priced, but I get it. You are eating at a restaurant and not a food truck. I will be coming back to this place.
In law's took us out to eat there, The food was delicious 😋 first time there would go back again.
Really good food just like in mexico I don't know why people are giving bad reviews these are way better then those taquitos west ave forreal by far
Food was really good and will be going back. We ordered tripas and asada plates
Fresh delicious food! First time here. Fast friendly very clean too

This place is simply amazing!! With a house full of kids and each wanting something different we have found a place we can all agree on. My favorite is the papas locos. The potato it always cooked perfectly and the topping are out of this world. My kids enjoy everything from the far from basic chicken strips to the mini tacos. The drinks here are made the way they were intended to be as well. This is a hidden gem.
My wife and I just came into town for a quick trip to Lakeland AFB. We stopped by Mini Takitos and were impressed by the friendly staff, clean restaurant, and of course the food. We tried a few different meats for our tacos. Loved the charro beans as well. We ate the grilled vegetables to include cactus leaves, small onions, peppers, and potatoes. The six different sauces were each amazing. We will be stopping by again before we leave town.
Tried to add a pic but couldn’t 😢 the tacos are delicious! The cucumber agua with chamoy and Tajín hit the spot. The definitely need to business. Yall should try this place it did not disappoint!
Always clean, amicable staff, ample selection, small town Jalisco style... Suadero mix Chorizo is my go-to for tacos, burritos, fries, LOVE this spot, their service, and SALSAS!!! (Which they DON'T charge extra for)

The food was good and the pineapple/ cucumber water was amazing. A bit pricey but very tasty
Good tacos take your own beer
Very happy, delicious food only a little cooler.👍
Over all i believe it was pretty good. Agua frescas were all good. I wish the tortillas were better. Meat had good flavor. More chile per order. I only got a small cup per plate.
A little Expensive and we have to Order at the Counter 🤔 Really it's Not That Big of A Place And They Want A Tip 🤔 Why Because They Come for your plate if your Finish Eating?😏 Drinks Agua Fresca $7.00 😱 if you want it dressed it's More😱 No Thanks I Want Fred's Fish Back😬🥱
Mini tacos and the papa was really good. The Torta was not toasted so it was not as good.
Got asada and molleja mini tacos. They were both really good. The mollejas were nice and crispy but not hard. The only thing they may need just a bit seasoning also the fries.
Food was great, I loved it. I’m only giving a 4 Stars since they charge you 50 cents for a to go container. That was nonsense to me.
I just wanted water but they charged $3.80 for 2 bottles of the cheapest water
The food was great! Super flavorful good portions, and jst super delicious altogether! The service was impeccable, all the workers were very friendly, polite and helpful. The restaurant was super clean and they kept cleaning over and over again. The only reason I have them as a 4* is because their seating arrangements are not so good they only have round tables tht seat 4 and a bar type seating all around the restaurant in front of the windows. So if u have a big family you'll have to sit at different tables because they don't move and neither do the stools.
The food was delicious and omg the charro beans were so flavorful. Aguas were a bit overpriced but good. We spent 33 for 2 people. Only thing I was not a fan of was a random "svc" charge that I can assume is service fee, however it still has option to tip so it makes me wonder why that is included. However, we will surely go back. It's nice having another option in that street 🥰
Got asada and molleja mini tacos. They were both really good. The mollejas were nice and crispy but not hard. The only thing they may need just a bit seasoning also the fries.
The tacos and customer service was amazing but the horchata drink was bleh. Charging $7 for powdered horchata is wild.
El sabor es bueno pero la tortilla muy seca, definitivamente no volvería las meseras son muy hostigosas todo el tiempo están mirando como comes apenas terminas el último bocado ya te quitaron el plato 😒 sera por que tienen poca gente quieren estar todas encima de la mesa
Compré unos mini tacos de asada y la verdad necesitan mejorar el sabor sazonar mejor la carne y las tortillas muy duras muy secas necesitan echarle un poquito de aceite si mejoran en eso queda perfecto
The food was overpriced and the loaded brisket potatoe was very cold definitely not going back
Son muy amables al atender, pero tristemente la comida no es muy buena. Probamos tacos de suadero seco y tripas quemadas y amargas. Las tortillas están bien duras. Las salsas están horribles. Las asada fríes, parecía comida de perro y estaban muy saladas. Muy decepcionada.
Had high hopes. Got order correctly but got charged for another order (more) luckily i checked my receipt. They were good on giving me the refund on the difference. Ill give them that. Its really nice small clean place. Now for the food. The pastor tacos were not good at all. The suadero were ok. The only ones that we liked was the buche. The papa loca was ok but i didn’t like that they add corn to it idk if thats just me but its alright not the best. Overall i give the food a 5 out of 10.
Pastor was no good, had a weird after taste. Tripas were ok, asked crispy but they were still chewy and greyish. Chorizo was dry. Suadero was really good. Salas were good. Horchata was great. Service was outstanding restaurant was clean. Price was higher than average.
Muy caro los tacos. Me agregaron 0.60 por cada taco de lengua y pedí un topo chico " preparado pero solo es hielo y un poquito de cosa roja al rededor del vaso. Muy caro la verdad , $20.24 total por 5 mini tacos y una agua mineral con hielo , no lo recomiendo.
Le pusieron queso mozzarella en lugar de queso fresco El trompo estaba quemado Pedazos grandes de carne aguada en lugar de pura carne y bien cortada Todas las carnes no tenían sabor Muy caro para no ser comida mexicana The meats were mostly nerves (soft/chewy) The carne al pastor was burnt They put mozzarella cheese instead of queso fresco Big chunks of meat when it’s supposed to be diced Too expensive for not being Mexican food
They don't even know what size the beans are and I waited for a good 20 minutes
I've had much better tacos for a much better price.
Food was not that good and it was kind of expensive.
Tacos are just not good. meat is chewy and bland, tortillas dry , salsas watery with no flavor. Such a shame i was excited for this spot!
Worst tacos. Bland and definitely not the best tacos in San Antonio 😂 EXPENSIVE tacos. $60 for 3 tacos and a drink each for three.
Had high hopes for this place especially since it replaced Fred's Fish Fry. I will say that they were very nice and had good service but... The food, specifically the pastor tacos and baked potato, were nothing special. The tacos came with a soggy, cool to the touch, piece of cactus in top of them. Not sure if it's just for looks or for eating but it did not look appealing. The actual taste of the tacos was bland, we had to add plenty of salt. The baked potato, not for us. I really hope they tweak their recipes or that they add something to the menu that is a bit more Tex-Mex if possible. Whatever the case, I hope the business makes it because they really did seem like they are trying.
Received wrong order, on top of that whom ever prepared the food was not very hygienic. There was a strand of hair in my food. I called and asked if I can get order corrected and return the food for a refund as well so that I may show them the wrong order and the haor in the food. They said no and to stop by next time for a free item next time instead. Will not be going back.
Ridiculous, the potatoes on the mini tacitos were cold and the fries with meat that we were given was very little. The coffee was old and since when does coffee not have free refills? And the attitude? Pfft, worst service ever. Extremely disappointed and the bottom line is don’t ever eat here if you want to keep your good mood.
