Los Barrios Mexican Restaurant

A family favorite of my husband's since he was young. It's always a pleasure to stop in and eat at this family-owned and operated institution - this is delicious home cooking comfort food.My go-tos are the enchiladas verdes or the Nachos à la Butler. The Queso Flameado is always a good choice and it comes with fresh, warm flour or corn tortillas. This is also the disputed birth place of the puffy taco, so treat yourself to this OG dish! The house salsa is one of my favorites and comes chips (the orange are the best!). The service is always super fast and you'll definitely catch glimpses of the family who owns LB working the floor or serving tables. They take so much pride in this beloved place and you can feel it. You'll walk through their mini Mercado on the way in and out of the restaurant, so poke around the local wares and maybe pick up a thing or two - or the Los Barrios Cookbook! Lot parking and street parking avail.

Took the wife to SA for her birthday Zoo first then Los Barrios!Food was excellent Service top notch Our waiter was fabulous Love the ambiance of the restaurant

My first time visiting Los Barrios was for lunch with a friend while visiting San Antonio. I've heard rave reviews about this restaurant and wanted to try it myself. The staff was very friendly and the food was outstanding. I had a great experience and plan to eat here again the next time I'm in San Antonio. Keep up the great work!!!

The menudo my daughter and husband order was gross. Neither of them could chew it. When they asked to return it and take it off the bill the manager came back to the table with both bowls of puke saying he and his cooks tasted it and there was nothing wrong with it. He silk shirt was unbuttoned showing his hairy chest of which I'm sure some of the curly chest hair fell into some unexpecting customer's food. Absolutely gross food and the manager was appalling. Nothing like the good ole days at Los Barrios.

The food was excellent- as I have always remembered it to be. We enjoyed the TexMex cheese enchiladas and ala carte puffy tacos.Enchiladas were very flavorful in the chilli con carne sauce. I had their fresh tortillas which are very well made and quite tasty. The rice is very good. I only wish i had a choice of beans, i.e., charro vs refried.The puffy tacos were very good. We had one beef and one avocado. Excellent choices.Service was very good - attentive waiter. Ambiance while always nice and very Mexican like, it was our misfortune tonight to be seated next to a party of seven. They were very loud. I often wonder if people can hear themselves or simply like to make a spectacle of themselves.Highly recommended. The food that is!

The food and service at los Barrios was excellent, we stopped in for a late lunch, we seated immediately, and the food came out hot and fresh. The staff and hostess were very friendly and attentive. Definitely a place to stop in and if you've never tried a puffy taco, you should have your first one here my personal favorite was the beef puffy taco, it was fire!

Come here for an excellent margarita. I tried the guava flavored margarita and loved it. My experience is based on a 40 person party I had for a graduation. They handled our group with haste and precision which made both myself and my family feel as though we made the right choice by planning the event to be here. The smaller menu (provided for large parties) was stocked with all of the crowd favorites so no one felt limited in ordering and I was happy to see how many clean plates I saw. It seemed the entire group enjoyed it. If you are not coming for a large party, you likely will not face too long of a wait (if any wait at all) because of the ample seating. I love the decorations inside which really leans into Hispanic heritage and makes the food more of an experience than just a plain whatever kind of meal. I will definitely be coming back to this excellent restaurant:)

The ambiance is delightful. The price wasn't too bad either. The tortillas that they brought out were soooo good like pancakes. Very well made. I ordered the lunch combo plate with tamale and a puffy taco. They were underwhelming. Not enough flavor in my opinion. The chips and salsa were good. The service was good but the host took us to a really small table at first, when there were 5 people.

It is a beautiful experience eat there, family owned, you are going to feel in a warm place.I went with a friend, I ate the Milanese plate with empanada and chimichuri, the chimichurri is fresh and homemade style, I am from Argentina and I know when it is a good one.Our waitress was Elena, she always was checking on us. And we paid cash, we didn't notice when we paid, we gave extra money, and she came back told to us, we gave extra for our bill. Very honest woman.The place is warm, many families eating at the same time, and you feel part of the atmosphere, it's a San Antonio experience to live.Every time I am in San Antonio, I have to stop there.

We had a late lunch today, our server was Alessia which means "to help."Our first visit, we were greeted @ the desk with a friendly smile, seated immediately. Our server introduced herself, immediately served us freshtortilla chips & their delicious salsa. We ordered the Enchiladas de Mole &Plato de los Barrios. Together with the beans, rice & flour tortillas, I was not able to finish my plate. Large portions, reasonably priced. Ambiance was family oriented. Work staff displayed excellent rapport with each other. Looking forward in visiting again in the near future. Found our new Mexicancuisine "go to" restaurant. Continued Success. :-)
