The Mexican Taco

This "Decamesa" Didn't Disappoint. Got the hungries for a late lunch and a big plate of Tex-Mex? Better get your Speedy Rodriguez on as this place closes at 2:00 pm. The lunch specials are particularly reasonable here as they include tea and it looks like there are usually 2 to choose from.

Sticking to our Mexican restaurant first time visit test, we ordered the Mexican plate consisting of enchiladas (mandatory for the test), crispy taco, rice and refried beans. We substituted a beef for a cheese enchilada (in order to try them both) for a $.50 upcharge. Finely ground beef picadillo meat is the filler for both the crispy taco and the beef enchilada, and a mild yellow cheese for the cheese enchilada. This was a good solidly satisfying plate of San Antonio school lunch gotta-have-it-on-Wednesday Mexican food (native San Antonians will know what I am talking about) and I would have no problem ordering it again. The only thing missing to bounce my synapses back to a school cafeteria memory was a square of baked corn bread. No. That's not weird. It actually tasted pretty good when dipped in a la charra beans. I guess it was cheaper than tortillas then?

Keep the substitutions to a minimum such as beef for cheese enchilada, puffy for crispy taco, borracho for refrieds, etc. as the upcharges quickly ratchet up the cost.

The flour tortillas really put the "Que Chula!" in our meal; soft and floppy with an appropriate amount of burned spots that shouted out homemade. Let me at the breakfast tacos . . . they just have to be good using these tortillas!

Nice little Decamesa (my jargon for a little Mom & Pop Tex-Mex shop with only ten tables or so) with barbacoa on the weekends.

The flour tortillas are amazing, so is their food. Highly recommend this restaurant. You can call in your order and pick it up.

Delicious food at reasonably prices. Fast and friendly service also. Will continue to return for breakfast tacos especially!

mexican food at this spot - excellent. it's so appetizing. it has a good atmosphere. food is like a restaurant in jacksonville i loved.

Skip drive through fast food for lunch, get yourself authentic home cooking to-go, instead. Delicious, inexpensive, the barbacoa is excellent, while it lasts. Love this place.
