El Nortenito
6565 Babcock Rd, San Antonio, TX
Crema's Take
“This San Antonio gem specializes in authentic Norteño cuisine where every taco is crafted with such care that regulars find themselves delightfully torn between favorites on repeat visits. Beyond the consistently excellent food—from pozole that sets the standard to enchiladas verdes that rivals the best—what truly sets El Nortenito apart is the genuine warmth of its staff, especially standout server Liliana, who makes every guest feel like family. The inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, complete salsa bar, and full breakfast menu create the perfect gathering spot where you can linger over margaritas and conversation with people you care about.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.

The pozole was the best I have ever had and the mango margarita was a delight. Liliana, the restaurant's top waitress, showed us outstanding kindness.
Server liliana provided great service. Ordered the enchiladas verdes and it was really good, one of the best ive had. They also have a salsa bar. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Will be coming back to try other menu options!

Food is amazing! Salsas are fresh and tasty as well with spice levels from mild to hot. What else makes this place special is the service is top notch. Everyone from the servers to the managers were friendly and checked in frequently. I highly recommend this place for anyone…
The place had great reviews on Google so we went to try it. The atmosphere was awesome. They have a full bar here. The tacos were good, but not great. I thought the Trompo tacos were less flavorful than the carne asada tacos. All was decent though.
