Does it have free parking or parking structure

Free parking all around area

Where's the parking ????

Across the street from the restaurant is a paid parking lot.

How much for the biggest chicken fried steak

I'd say less than $11 but you can just call location for specific cost. Great food, friendly staff.

Is there enough parking for a motorhome?

No. Downtown parking is very tight.

Food is amazing- I never write reviews but this was one of my best food experiences! I would come back for every meal when I'm in San Antonio! All the staff were super friendly, including the server Carey. Delicious large breakfast tacos, puffy tacos, and unbelievably addicting smoky refried beans. The tortillas are delicious and taste scratch made.

We came here due to the previous reviews. They were not wrong! Food was fantastic, but the service was the star of this visit! Our servers were nothing short of exceptional... we will definitely come back here on our next visit!

Absolutely wonderful lunch downtown! The prices were extremely reasonable--less than $10 for a full lunch plate. I had the Texas plate which I highly reccomend, co-workers had the Mexican plate which they also thoroughly enjoyed. We went at 11:30AM, which beat the lunch rush but it got very busy as we were leaving.

Puffy tacos are where it's at! The enchiladas are not the best. Service is great and value is good. The bathroom is located outside of the restaurant through the back door that locks behind you so if it closes all the way you may have to walk around to the front door of the restaurant or catch the attention of someone inside the dining room to let you back in.

GREAT food, fresh home made tortillas. Cheapest price downtown and it's a family owned business. They are doing a fantastic job and thought they deserved the recognition. Looking for good genuine mexican food, this is your place. Everyone at the Drury Plaza loves you guys! Thanks a bunch. 🙂

Fantastic local staple, lulas is a long standing member of the San Antonio community providing consistently excellent tex mex food to locals and tourists alike. Tortillas are perfect, eggs are fresh and they will give you exactly what you ask for. I do miss the Milam cafe, but glad to see another San Antonio native keep the torch going.

Great breakfast tacos. Cheap prices. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the vent system above the stove, it's really noisy. Will definitely eat here again when I'm in town though.

The Fajita nachos do not come with grilled peppers or onions. It is not a queso type cheese. I'm not sure what is fajita about it. Tea is great. Salsa is a bit more spicy than I would prefer and they have nothing milder. The portions were satisfying and the price was right, but just not what I thought I was ordering.

Only reason I can't give 5 stars is because they need to update their technology. Other than that, this is a true hole in the wall. You will easily walk past this place which is a HUGE mistake. The specials are amazing and sitting in for lunch is worth it just to get the chips and salsa.

The food was ok but the barbacoa was old and reheated (I used to manage a barbacoa joint so ik from experience) they also never brought out our flour tortillas. It wasn't even that packed so they could've brought the tortillas to us but they just didn't care. I guess they thought we weren't going to leave a decent tip so that's why they didn't tend to us, we only left a dollar tip only because the food and service was terrible. Me and my bf will not be coming back here. There's another Mexican restaurant called OASIS across the street which is far BETTER and CHEAPER. I'd definitely recommend eating there instead, the customer service is way better there too!

I went here, based on the previous reviews. I wasn't disappointed. The food was brought hot, made with fresh ingredients. The chips were made from scratch as well. The service was exceptional. The only downside is that the place closes at 2pm. You will not be sorry you went to eat here. A gem in an unlikely place.

I HAD TO write a review on this place!! My fiancé brought me here for the first time and I was very happily surprised. It’s downtown and from the outside you would think it was another ‘hole in the wall’ restaurant. But it surely IS NOT!!! Inside has that ‘old downtown building’ vibe & decorated beautifully. LOVED the enchiladas with chicken!!!They were topped with that melting cheese that is hard to find , tortillas tasted fresh , and the mole had that REALLY GOOD home style flavor. I definitely recommend this place if your craving some really good honestly Mexican food 👍🏼

Totally a corner restaurant geared for local companies, I snuck in and found the food to be very good. That said, while the service was okay at the table, they totally missed the mark when checking out. I waited next to the checkout 5 mins at lunch time. Just stood there... Very odd. That almost made me not want to come back as they saw me there but didn't make an effort. Maybe this is a local thing...Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz
