Cascabel Mexican Patio

Cuisine: Latin, Mexican

10Best Says

Cascabel is one of the best-kept secrets in San Antonio and sports a wonderful outdoor patio with umbrella-covered tables. It's different than every other Mexican food restaurant in the city because it features regional specialties from interior Mexico. You won't find the ubiquitous refried pinto beans here or even flour tortillas. Cascabel serves everything with thick yet soft homemade corn tortillas and refried black beans that have an exceptional amount of flavor. If you want to try something unique, order the Birria, which is a rustic goat stew. If you want to play it safe, order the Huaraches, which are corn tortillas smothered in refried black beans, shredded cabbage, your choice of meat, a spicy red chile sauce and sour cream. Cascabel will stimulate your palette without over-stimulating your bank account!

EXPERT TIPS BY: Kimberly Suta
San Antonio Local Expert

Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus: "For a hearty, affordable and gluten-free meal, try the huaraches (Spanish for sandals), topped with your choice of meat, cabbage slaw, cheese and tomatoes."
Mexican, Breakfast, Restaurants near Alamodome, Homestyle: "This quaint and quirky little restaurant is great for breakfast too. Try the Mexican hot chocolate or the Cafe de Olla. There is nothing else like it!"

Best for Restaurants with Gluten-Free Menus Because: Since Cascabel mostly uses corn, instead of the more ubiquitous flour tortilla, most of their dishes are naturally gluten-free.
Best for Mexican Because: Cascabel is a quaint little eatery with authentic interior Mexican food, a region of the country that is not often featured in San Antonio.
Best for Breakfast Because: Cascabel's chilaquiles are quite literally to-die-for, and a refreshing change from all the Tex-Mex!
Best for Restaurants near Alamodome Because: Located in Southtown near the Alamodome, this is a great option for lunch before an event.
Best for Homestyle Because: Some people's comfort food is chicken fried steak and for others it's a big plate of Mexican food. You're welcome!
