Homestyle Tex-Mex and Jalisco Flavor, Served with a Smile
Fluffy Jalisco omelettes, slow-simmered picadillo, and made-to-order plates on US-181 — open early, every day of the week.
Our Story
A Family Table on US-181
Just off US-181 on San Antonio's south side, Family Mexican Restaurant has built a loyal following the old-fashioned way — with hearty plates, homemade tortillas, and a dining room that treats every table like it's family. The kitchen turns out a mix of Tex-Mex standards and Jalisco-style specialties, from slow-simmered picadillo to weekend menudo, served in a warm, unfussy dining room strung with lights and lined with framed pictures of home.
Breakfast is where the restaurant really shines. Guests rave about the fluffy Jalisco omelette, stacks of pancakes topped with whipped cream and berries, and breakfast tacos wrapped in tortillas made fresh through the morning. Rice, beans, and salsa arrive without asking, and the sweet tea keeps flowing from open to close at 3 PM.
It's also a go-to spot for big gatherings — reviewers describe birthday parties of twenty and thirty guests served quickly and accurately, without a single mix-up. Between the friendly staff, generous portions, and prices that keep families coming back, it's easy to see why this roadside restaurant has become a neighborhood fixture.

★★★★★“Friendly and fast service. Food was delicious. I had the beef enchiladas plate — picadillo was so good! The rice and beans were perfect. Sweet tea was amazing! I can't wait to go back. Our party was 15-20 people and we didn't wait long and we were treated really nice!”

★★★★★“Attended a birthday party, food was very tasty and deliciously freshly made. Menudo was classically above reproach. Seasoning was just right, tortillas hot and home made... Attentively served all 30 attendees very accurately. No mix ups. Highly recommended. Will return.”

★★★★★“So warm and welcoming. The food was delicious. My husband got the Jalisco omelette, and it looked just like the picture and he said it tasted great. I got the pancake breakfast, wow the pancakes were so fluffy! Lots of places to sit, wonderful service and very fast.”

★★★★☆“Love finding small family owned businesses. The food was delicious, the waitresses kind. There's a large menu with a wide range of food, from Mexican favorites to seafood platters, or just a hamburger if that's what you want. The rice was so tasty it caught me off guard.”
