Shrimp fajita plate is fresh, awesome & the rice flavor is spectacular along with puffy taco deliciousness.
The ceiling is literally falling and being held on by duct tape.

Puffy Tacos Plate
The puffy tacos were good, but not as good as La Jacala which burned down
Teka Favorite Platter
The chips have a robust corn flavor, not greasy
The cheese Chile Relleno Plate, picoso come mi gusta

5 Stars - Classic San Antonio Flavor Done Right!We were visiting from Los Angeles, and Teka Molino was highly recommended--and it did not disappoint! If you're looking for authentic, no-frills, delicious Tex-Mex in San Antonio, this spot delivers. The food is fresh, flavorful, and full of tradition.Their puffy tacos are a must-try--crispy yet light, packed with perfectly seasoned fillings. The bean rolls are another standout--simple but incredibly satisfying. And the nickel tacos? Absolute perfection--small, packed with flavor, and the perfect bite-sized taste of San Antonio tradition.The service is quick, friendly, and efficient, even when it's busy. You can tell this place has been a local favorite for years, and now we understand why. If you're in town and craving some classic SA flavors, Teka Molino should be at the top of your list!

This is a San Antonio staple.They are famous for their PUFFY TACOS! These are simply great and just like the original I grew up eating in old SanAntonio. Just wow.I was taking my tacos about an hour away and I didn't want the puffy shells to get soggy. I asked if they could keep everything apart, and they gladly did. Perfect.Plus, there is a bakery. The staff is very friendly as well.

Hi fam, la morenita at the counter was so cute and nice that I actually agreed to a tip on the ipad even though the place is pretty much self-serve.Being welcoming and animated has value so I just have to say that first. Wow, the chips and salsa are good, with a robust corn flavor and not all greasy. I liked the puffy tacos, I have been looking for them after La Jacala burned down. I also enjoyed the chili rilleno with cheese. The rice had a classic tomatoey flavor. The sauce on the rilleno was picoso which was great. Teka is a reliable venue to get your Tex-Mex freak on.

We had been wanting to try puffy tacos since arriving in San Antonio. We searched through dozens of restaurants and lo and behold, this place was right around the corner from our hotel. (We almost drove 25 min to one across the city)The girl at the counter was very friendly and helpful. A fellow customer overheard me tell her this was our first time getting puffy tacos and she told me that this was her FAVORITE place for puffy tacos. She has been coming for YEARS. We ordered 2 puffy taco plates, one with the tortilla soup and then a few puffed tacos on the side. We all agreed that the puffy tacos were AMAZING. The soup was just ok. I offered for chicken to be in it but I didn't see any. I added some of the salsa to it to make it more flavorful.As for the free chips and salsa... wow. The salsa is SPICY. I like spice and it was hot. The interior and the restrooms were the nicest. Felt more "dive" or "hole in the wall-ish." We're not fancy though. We'll definitely return when we're in town next!

22 Jun 2023Quite the menu. All manner of tacos, plates, breakfast. We were there about 10am. I ordered the huevos rancheros with coffee. The drink is included in the price. BUT, 10am and they had NO COFFEE! I settled for iced tea. Sigh. My plate was made the Mexico way. That is, the fried eggs were atop a corn tortilla, along with the beans and potatoes. Really tasty. The husband ordered the beef puffy taco plate. I did t think lunch-type items would be available, but no problem, he got his taco plate. Looked quite good. The price for our two plates was $20 even. Not bad, despite no coffee. Go there.

After living and working near this place for years, I finally visited today with a group. You order at the front and someone brings your food to the table. I took some chips (no salsa) when offered while ordering, which were warm and crispy! My green enchiladas were delivered quickly to the table. We had to sit outside because of our large group, but it was shaded and clean. I'd go back to try some nachos!

My job had a food truck come out and feed us folks as a treat. Only thing I need to say is try the Green Enchiladas Plate - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Dress it up with the green salsa. Slather that thing up. Stack the lettuce up on top and you will love this meal. Refried beans were yummy too! Never really order green enchiladas, but they were recommended to me and I loved it. It was so fresh. Definitely gotta hit the brick and mortar location some time to get me another plate. Yummy!

Visited Teka Molino to grab their delicious shrimp plate which comes with 11 seasoned grilled shrimp, peppers, onions with charro beans, fresh rice, guacamole salad & 3 flour tortillas & is fantastic. For some reason their website nor any other online menus reveal that their seafood "shrimp" is available. Took a pic of their inside billboard menu to reflect the "shrimp plate" is a regular menu item !
