Rosita's Cafe sits along South General McMullen Drive in San Antonio, offering a straightforward and unpretentious setting where Mexican comfort food meets classic breakfast fare. This spot feels like a neighborhood staple rather than a polished dining room, which plays well for families and early risers looking for hearty plates and familiar flavors.

The atmosphere here is casual and inviting, with a welcoming, hardworking vibe from the staff that locals seem to appreciate. It’s the kind of place where you drop in for a quick breakfast or a relaxed lunch, and the pace feels easy-going even during busy weekend mornings.

Rosita's menu focuses on traditional Mexican breakfast and lunch dishes that carry homemade touches, especially with fresh tortillas served alongside generous portions. Favorites often include huevos rancheros and cheese enchiladas, as well as more robust plates like the tripa and carne guisada tacos that speak to authentic local tastes. A steady flow of hot coffee and sweet tea rounds out the meal, making it a practical stop if you’re fueling up for the day or grabbing a laid-back weekend bite.

Because of the large plate sizes and down-to-earth pricing, it’s a spot that draws families, early birds, and anyone craving filling, classic Tex-Mex comfort in a no-frills environment. Weekends can be particularly lively, as daily specials bring in a steady crowd, so arriving mid-morning or early afternoon helps avoid the rush if you’re looking for more space and quiet.

Free chips and salsa are part of the experience here, adding a touch of that local hospitality. The combination of straightforward food, friendly service, and a relaxed, clean setting makes Rosita’s the kind of place you might return to when you want a genuine taste of San Antonio’s Mexican breakfast scene without any fuss.

Great experience with the family. Even though the water was low, just got to find the deepest parts of the river. Great for tubing and swimming. We rented a cabin, beds were comfortable, we got the loft, cabin, duplex, and comes with a kitchen, bath room has toilet paper, but advised to bring toilet paper just in case. And if you enjoy looking at the stars like me and my better half do, you can see clusters of stars beyond the mountain cliffs, very majestic sight to watch and enjoy, since your out in the country, theirs no light pollution. They have a store in case you forget some basic items, the staff there are very warm and friendly.

Thank you Ms. Barbie you are so sweet the food was so delicious. The establishment was so clean all the staff members have great hospitality I highly recommend this place. My children were so delighted and want to come back to try something different. Can’t wait to try the hot delicious caldo. My favorite was the hot coffee and bean and cheese tacos. Thank you everyone…

Why is it everytime i go to San Antonio i always want to eat Mexican food. I think is because of all the Instagram videos I see where that have places with 5 lb cinnamon rolls. We this time I pulled up my Google reviews to find a good restaurant near by. After seeing the reviews we decided to give this place a try. I decided to have pork chops and my friend had Fajitas. The food came out quickly and tasted very fresh. Now the only problem i had was they had no desserts on there menu. No flan or tres leches, nothing for my sweet tooth.

My husband wanted menudo for breakfast I was passing by and decided to stop. The staff was nice and friendly when I arrived. I ordered a large menudo and 3 potatoes tacos. The order was done in no time. I took the order to go. When I arrived home everything was well packed. We received enough napkins, salsa, and spoons. The menudo wasn’t the best tasting but it was menudo. The potato tacos were the best and the tortillas were well filled with potatoes. If I’m in the area again I will stop again.

The 3.99 cheese enchilada lunch special is delicious. Every morning they have the three taco deal. Three tacos for 2.99, of a select menu. These tacos are very good and can't beat the price. Staff is always very friendly and place is very clean. Stop on in and enjoy. FYI, you can't get in at 1:20.
