Brenda's Mexican Restaurant

I love their bean and chees tacos! It's a simple taco but they are really good. They also have good service and all of the other food is delicious and authentic.

First off - the prices are spectacular. I don't know anywhere that you can get a full lunch for only $8.00. Tuesdays to Friday 11am-2:30pm each day they have lunch specials. Today- Wednesday it was : 1. Chicken flautas (3)2. Beef enchiladas or3. Enchiladas verde All come with rice, beans, fresh tortillas and Ice Tea. I chose the Beef enchiladas. They were good. It came with 3 smaller rolled enchiladas. The red sauce was good. Flour tortillas obviously homemade. Beans and rice tasted on point. My son got the Chicken flautas. 3 crispy chicken. With rice and beans. They serve you warm chips and a chipotle style salsa while you wait. We are two baskets of those (sucker for warm tortilla chips)Atmosphere was typical of a breakfast diner. Customer service was good. Nothing was awful nothing outstanding except the prices. They do have a large breakfast menu of tacos and combo plates. Did not see what time they open but they do close at 3pm so they're obviously better known for their breakfast tacos. I think I need to go back and try the breakfast to see what all the hype is about. lol

Great food and geeat freindly staff. The hostess is very friendly and professional. 1

Brenda's continues to be a great Mexican food restaurant. Quality is A+++ and prices are very reasonable. Corn tortillas are the best in San Antonio.

Love this little place off the beaten path... well down a predominantly industrial one anyhow... I have been 3x already just in the past week and I was really impressed with the friendliness of the young man who waited on me all 3x. The food was super yummy and the price was good. Excellent! Great service. Tasty food (the way it should be) and terrific prices! Will keep returning as long as I have to be in the area.

Great neighborhood place for good Tex-Mex. The salsa is tasty and the food is consistently good.

This place is not clean. The food is average at best. We were regulars here until I had beef fajitas that you could not eat. Gristle and fat. I'm not quite sure why people go on about this place. Look at the floor and in the corners. I never want to accuse any place of giving me food poisoning because you never know but our very last meal here - and I was sick as I could be. Just not our kind of place. Plus when I mentioned the poor quality the owner said they had to go to a different supplier but never offered a refund or a new dish. Unacceptable.

This place is bomb. Solid five stars. The chicken mole enchiladas were delicious and piping hot. Service was excellent. My server was so nice and offered to let me try the mole before ordering it. Also it's so cheap! Definitely a win in my book. Ambiance is one basic open room, but that's to be expected with a joint like this. Quick, tasty, and affordable. I'll definitely be back when I'm around this area of San Antonio next.

I reviewed this place earlier but since the food has deteriorated so badly that I could not finish and was ill the rest of the day. Service was fine however. Ambiance not the best

Finally got to Brenda's today and tried a Tex-Mex plate with chili con carne cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, bean & cheese chalupa and chili con queso after reading favorable comments on Reddit. I am giving this lunch a solid B+ and put it at the top of my Tex-Mex joints inside San Antonio. A plus worth mentioning are the fresh in-house made heavy tortilla chips and soft corn tortillas. When you find those handmade tortillas, you know they care about their fare. My quest has been finding cheese enchiladas with real chili con carne since moving to San Antonio where cheese enchiladas are usually served covered in bland tasting red "chili gravy" goo. I was reared in a more northern area of Texas where enchiladas were covered in chili con carne, and that is what I want. San Antonio is almost barren of the type. It was a treat finding them here.
