  First time for the two of us at La Jalisco Mexican Restaurant, was just what needed at that time, Satisfaction.
  
  How we ended up on Nogalitos at 9am on a Friday is not important, what matters is that it was COLD in Texas and we needed some food.  We had finished a stupid meeting with the new HR person and showed I(eye)9 proof of citizenship so the new job is a done deal, now where do we eat?  
  
  Being the Alpha Male in charge, I instinctively oriented our vehicle towards home, SE from here and said "let's just pop into the closest spot" and La Jalisco appeared.  Within the moderately full parking lot we found a space next to the building, and once inside we sat ourselves away from the coldness of the front door.  The menus appeared with the waitress and the pictures promised authentic Mexican Cuisine.
  
  Perfect for the season and seasoning, the Caldo de Res was just right in the mix of veggie to meat ratio, I removed the meat to provide better access to the tender vegetables and that soup.  Just a slight shimmer of oil on the surface and a confetti like mixture of spices provided that warm and reassuring "chicken soup for the soul" feeling as it heals you from the inside out.  Delicious.
  
  The Huevos Rancheros were classic and hearty, the eggs over medium and the potatoes appearing as if they had been individually sauteed to golden perfection, beans made with manteca provide that taste that you can't fake with anything else and a piece of bacon just thick enough t give you a challenge but crispy enough to call it thin sliced.  It's good.
  
  The tortillas were think but lighter than expected, both the corn and flour.
  The salsa, had a bite but not a kick.
  
  I also had 2 tacos but since I ordered 3 I will review the tacos when I finish the last one, always leave your reader wanting more right?

  Very disappointed. The service was bad, the food sucked. Please do not order milanesa. Look at the pictures. The milanesa had NO MEAT and if it was there I didn't see it! Won't come back to that place. The waitresses were also very rude. We felt rushed.  Even when the San Antonio Fiesta was and the place was barely occupied.

  Wouldn't go back to this place. Our original waitress was very attentive and friendly which is why I gave 2 stars. The asada was okay but we ordered picadillo and it was uncooked and I could clearly see pieces of pink ground beef throughout taco so we left them behind and let waitress know. She offered a short half apology and charged us for tacos anyway and then asked about a tip.

  Small Mexican restaurant offering all the Tex Mex flavors. I had the Chilaquiles with refried beans, fried potatoes and two huge homemade corn tortillas. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The had the air on but it was warm and it was only ten in the morning. In San Antonio, it gets to 100 easy. They have a juke box and a TV. Most of the patrons were elderly and probably from the neighborhood. The Chilaquiles were okay, nothing spectacular. The refried beans were tasty. The potatoes kind of dry. Should have asked for ketchup. The tortillas now were amazing. I could only eat one but I brought the other one home.

  Had the Chicken Torta. Really Good. Soft bread and well prepared. Good taste. It's a casual restaurant with good service and nicely prepared tortas and tacos.
