Birotes Tortas Ahogadas

I honestly did not enjoy the food that I received from this place. I was SO excited to try something new. I've seen videos online about these tacos with the sauce. This is the first time I've tried them and it wasn't a good experience. The tacos barely had flavor. The cheese overpowered the meat taste. The sauce didn't really have any flavor either, it was just very oily. The lemon saved the entire meal I can say. That was the most flavor put on. I tried to devour them because I was hungry but 2 tacos remained...mission failed.
But listen....A for Effort . Please put your heart and soul into making these next time. I need your foot in it.

Great food... be adventurous and get a lamb and or beef anything. The meats are amazing. Homemade sauces and wonderful execution! Sorry photo was after eating... we were hungry! So freaking good!

So far everything I've ordered here has been good. No complaints . It's a small whole in the wall with about 4-5 tables, but the food is good, the service is ok.

Today's dining lesson: Never judge a restaurant by its storefront or location. What the place lacked in appearance or ambiance more than made up for it with the richness of flavor.

We ordered the Torito Especial (mixed) and 3 Sopes (carnitas, asada, and chicken)--both plates were delicious and reminded us of good Mexican home cooking.

My only regret was not doing our homework before we arrived so that we would have ordered the torta ahogada with birote, a Mexican sourdough bread.

Parking wasn't great and the seating was limited but the service was fantastic. We were seated immediately and the waitresses were attentive.

We will definitely return.

Service was excellent, our order took a little longer but it was home-cooked and worth it. We had the chicharrónes and guca which was not on the menu. The papa increíbles (baked potato) was good and serving fed two of us and we still had leftovers! Highly recommend!

Absolutely, positively sooo good.

I got the Torta Ahogada. Bread, meat, and a tomato-based sauce with some herbs and spices. What's not to like? Every part of this torta was terrific and they give you a ton of the sauce to dip your bread into. I am looking forward to going back and trying other things, because this was great.

I also got churros (with caramel sauce) and they were quite good too.

Def worth the drive, I had to find a place to meet up with friends. The pictures caught my eye and we decided to wing it. I am so happy that I found this place!!!! Staff, ambiance, food, even the aguas frescas are amazing. I got a Torta de carnitas that came with French fries and wow. Fries were steak cut and seasoned very well, torta was big and tasty. All my friends were raving on theirs.

Las tortas ahogadas son Deliciosas, llenita de carnitas súper ricas. Regresare pronto.

I'm always looking for authentic mexican food because I was born and raised in mexico and this is an amazing place.

I'm going to be honest, I only knew about this place because of TikTok. We were in the area and it was our last day in San Antonio. We couldn't really call it a trip to San Antonio unless we had some bomb tacos, right? So that's exactly what we did. This place was a bit difficult to get to, just because it's a relatively small place, and the parking lot was completely filled. We were kind of running on a short period of time, so we ended up going through the drive-thru. (Thank goodness for that drive-thru!)

We ordered exactly what we saw on TikTok and I saw that they also had chilaquiles on the menu, so naturally - I ordered that as well. They were really busy, so it was a bit of a wait, but the wait was well worth it. We parked in the back of the restaurant to wait for our food. When it came out, we couldn't wait, and just ate it right then and there.

Let me tell you - this place is the BEST. Just amazing. I fell in love. The owner was also nice enough to come out and tell us a little bit about how his business blew up and how grateful he was for the guy that posted a video about his food on TikTok. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone that is in San Antonio. This was well worth it and definitely made the entire trip! Definitely will be coming back again.
