Cafe Alameda

This is a great place. Excellent food and really friendly weight staff. Especially like the huevos rancheros here.I am kind of a picky dude, when it comes to eggs, and this place makes the perfect over hard egg.!

The food all in all is pretty good, the parking suckssss and I mean it absolutely sucks it's either a garage or pay to park across the street. The atmosphere in here is awkwardly quiet like there's no music or nothing playing you can just hear the stillness now the tortillas are absolutely amazing the beans and cheese yummy country sausage and egg supper good along with the chorizo and egg now the carne guisada with cheese with so in the middle I have no words just not good but not bad . The service was super quick and fast and our food was out even quicker so very fast service all in all we will be back.

We are staying in the high-rise apartments next door to this place while our house is being renovated. Since it is literally across the street, we see it everyday. When we looked on Yelp, the 3.5 stars made us hesitant, but we decided to give it a try and we were VERY glad that we did!The restaurant itself has been in business for 12 years and a restaurant has been in the spot for 50. The restaurant is completely family owned, managed and operated. The principal owner, Rafael, came out to visit with us. They had a choice of whether to have a large kitchen and smaller dining area or visa versa and they chose a smaller kitchen, so everything is hand-made including the tortillas.I ordered bacon, egg and cheese breakfast tacos and my wife ordered potato, egg and cheese breakfast tacos. I also ordered a side of refried beans and salsa -- for me, those two items (and the tortillas) are indicators of a really good Mexican restaurant or not.The refried beans were excellent, flavorful and definitely homemade. The salsa was a green salsa, which for me is usually not a good thing, but I decided to give it a try - it was REALLY good - flavorful with a bit of 'heat'. I could count on one hand the number of times I've liked a green sauce, so that tells you something.The tacos were nice sized. The tortillas were clearly homemade - fluffy, warm and perfectly browned. The bacon was chopped up and mixed in with the eggs - very tasty and even more so with . . . the green salsa! The tacos without cheese are $1.99 which is very reasonable, particularly given the size and the flavor. The restaurant is open from 6am - 2pm M-F; 7am - 1pm Sa; and closed Sunday. If you are looking for very tasty Tex-Mex food at an affordable price - this is the place to go. I have no doubt we will be back many times!

Came here for lunch and the service was excellent! It seemed like a lot of regulars come here for lunch, as seating quickly filled up by noon. Food comes out quickly, so you'll be able to maximize your lunch break time. I got the Large Carne Guisada Burrito, which was yummy but a bit salty for my personal tastes. The lunch entree also came with a choice of flour or corn tortillas. The portion was very filling and the food so hearty.I would rate the food 3-stars and the service 4-stars. A good option if you're short on time and want some good Mexican food.

The best Mexican food in San Antonio! Get the fajita plate with avocado bell peppers and onions

What a great find!! Didn't get pictures because we ate the food so fast!! Staff is so friendly, food is great!! Breakfast tacos, pancakes, eggs down to the bacon was perfect!We will definitely come back next time!!!

If you're looking for a good Tex-Mex style cafe downtown, this is your spot. To me, Tex-Mex is defined by the refried beans. There is a distinctive difference between Tex-Mex and the Jalisco / Northern Mexican style fair that has overtaken much of the South Texas market. You'll know a good Tex-Mex refried bean by the bacon-dripping base. Pinto beans refried in bacon drippings have a unique flavor that defines the dish. Today I enjoyed the refried bean and American cheddar breakfast tacos (American cheddar is also a hallmark of good Tex-Mex). I ordered the tortillas on my taco, "Charlie Browned" (lightly toasted), my favorite way to eat breakfast tacos. My wife had the pork chop plate. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, seasoned, tender and juicy on the inside, and crispy on the outside. Country potatoes, refried beans, and freshly cooked flour tortillas rounded off her meal.The Mexican decor is typical of a South Texas cafe. This is definitely a locals spot, quiet with a steady flow of labor, city employees, and employees from nearby offices. The owner and staff are nice, attentive, and personable.

Food was excellent and service was the most warm and welcoming we experienced all weekend. I highly recommend to anyone looking for good tex-mex near the riverwalk!

Food was mid af the cheese in the taco was cold the beans was cold we talked to the waiter and asked what cheese it was cheddar or American but all we got was " idk it's cheese cheese is cheese " it sucks this place used to be pretty good now it's just rude service and cold food it kinda sucks they need to just get some new staff especially one of the female waitresses couldn't get her name but oh well hopefully they do better

i work and live close by, so my coworkers and I decided to try lunch. Waitress told us about the days special, said drink was included with meal. food arrived and was below average, never saw waitress after that. Got up to pay and the cashier then overcharging me for meal, when pressed she says in Spanish that my meal would be more expensive if I went anywhere else downtown. this place is cool if like pricey fast food.
