I'm not so sure about crazy's post telling people not to go here. I grew up in San Antonio and recently moved to Houston and I tell everyone about all the Blanco Cafe's in SA. Yes, there service can be slow...But the food is amazing. Their cheese enchilada's are to die for. Everything is delicious. I have been going here since I was a kid. Great food and it's worth the wait!

I enjoyed an enchilada platter at Blanco Cafe a few weeks back. Delicious food but just mediocre service. If they get fairly busy, expect to wait a little while for your food/refills. Still would recommend for a quick afternoon lunch though.

The service here is the worst service I have EVER had in my life. We had to ask for refills and when we stopped the waitress once to ask her for silverware that one of my co-workers never received she started walking away without acknowledging that we even spoke to her and before we could ask her for anything else. She also felt there was no need to actually hand each one of us our plates, instead she set all of them at one end and expected us to figure out whose plate was whose as well as pass it down to each other.

Good food! – This is a very good place to eat in San Antonio. The service is great and the food is excellent. As the name suggests, it is definitely a "cafe"...not a nice restaurant to impress anyone. My only complaint is that they served NO red picante sauce. The only hot sauce they had was verde. It was spicy, but not flavorful (to my taste). I didn't realize how much I loved red tomato-based salsa. I'm usually easy to please, but it totally ruined my meal. If red picante sauce is not a requirement for you when eating mexi... read more

Awesome mexican food at great price – This place is not on the Riverwalk with the overrated high priced restaurants. This is a simple, high quality place that has fresh food with an authentic taste. The staff is friendly and this is where the locals eat. It is a 5 minute walk from most Riverwalk hotels on St Mary's and simply is the best. It is only open for breakfast and lunch, unfortunately. We had chorizo w eggs, refried beans, carne guisada and fresh tortillas and coffee - wonderful!!

A San Antonio landmark. – There are literally thousands of mexican food restaurants in San Antonio. I would only recommend a few -- Blanco Cafe is one of the top five mexican food restaurants in San Antonio.
