22. Oasis Mexican Cafe
210 McCullough Ave., (210) 229-9966, facebook.com/oasiscafesa
“Been having breakfast here for years and the food and service has never disappointed. My go-to dish is the Chilaquiles with flour tortillas. The eggs and chips are topped with a classic shredded cheddar cheese and make a great little taco if you use the flour tortilla to wrap it up in and put some of the green salsa on top. Additionally, the service is impressive with many of the servers making an effort to remember your order and make you feel welcome when you walk in the door after they notice you've been coming there frequently. Definitely recommend stopping by to give this spot a try!” - Brandon K.

Pair it with lemonade. It's te lo sico good” - Jo M.

“Having had birria tacos all over Mexico, I would add these to the top 10. The place is clean and the smoke from the kitchen keeps you at bay until your food arrives at your table. The birria was very lean and tender(no nerves in the meat). The consume had very little oil on top and the portions are above average. Lastly, good service, fair prices and chefs that love their food will keep this spot on my list of places to eat regularly. Ohh, I almost forgot they have an excellent cafe de Olla” - Israel G.

The food is absolutely incomparable in San Antonio. I always have the go to food which usually involves steak San Antonio with cold [avocado] soup. But, the entire menu is delectable. The sauces are out of this world and then finish dinner with an espresso” - Patrick A.
