"Tortas Ahogadas El Chivito is a hidden gem for those seeking authentic Mexican cuisine that tantalizes the taste buds. My recent visit left me more than satisfied, and I can confidently say that this place deserves a solid five-star rating! Firstly, let's talk about their Horchata. Oh, what a delightful treat! The sweet, creamy rice-based beverage was a refreshing companion to my meal. The blend of cinnamon and subtle hints of vanilla added a comforting touch. It truly complemented the flavors of the dishes I ordered. Now, let's dive into the star of the show—the Quesabirria. Each bite transported me to a realm of cheesy, savory bliss. The succulent, tender birria meat was expertly nestled between crispy tortillas, perfectly crisped to golden perfection. The cheese oozed harmoniously, creating a symphony of flavors that danced upon my palate. The accompanying consommé for dipping added an extra layer of rich, savory goodness. The ambiance of Tortas Ahogadas El Chivito was cozy and inviting, with friendly staff members who were more than willing to assist and offer recommendations. The prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food served, making it an excellent value for the dining experience. While my visit was thoroughly enjoyable, there's always room for improvement. It would be great if the service could be slightly faster during peak hours, as it was quite busy during my visit. Nevertheless, the wait was well worth it once I indulged in their delicious offerings. In summary, Tortas Ahogadas El Chivito is a fantastic spot for food enthusiasts seeking a taste of Mexico's vibrant flavors. From their delectable Horchata to the mouthwatering Quesabirria, this place is a true culinary gem. With its positive atmosphere, friendly staff, and exceptional food, it's no wonder this eatery has earned its well-deserved reputation. Don't hesitate to visit and savor the flavors for yourself!"

"El Chivito is the way to go! Their tortas ahogadas are beyond delicious with their sauce that lathers on. Surprisingly for how the sauce looks the bread is toasted and deliciously made that it doesn’t come out soggy!! It’s crispy and full of flavor with different options of meat too. Their empanadas are also a great choice for small bites with bold flavors. The picadillo one gives you a taste of home in a small, warm, and crispy bite. Their customer service is excellent with kind service, and the food is always brought out hot and fresh. The wait time for your food is approximately 10-15 mins depending on the amount you order. Definitely one of my favorite spots in San Antonio for tasty food that will have you coming back for more!"

"This little place tucked away by wonderland mall is an absolute San Antonio must! The food was incredible. The staff was friendly and quick. They even have a small outdoor seating area where you can sit and enjoy your tacos fresh out of the kitchen. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be returning here for some more quesabirria tacos!"
