" I found this little gem while searching for authentic Mexican food in San Antonio. The service was friendly but a bit slow, which didn't bother me much since the tacos were delightful! They offered good portions for the price. This will definitely be on my radar for next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really wanted to love this cafe after seeing such wonderful reviews. Sadly, my experience wasn’t great. The service was slow and my food arrived lukewarm which is a huge pet peeve of mine. I’m tempted to try again since it may have just been an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, I’m blown away by the quality and taste of the food here! The tacos were so delicious, filled to the brim and perfectly seasoned. I was expecting something more average but this place exceeded my expectations. I’ll surely become a regular! " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic service paired with great food! I tried their breakfast tacos and was impressed with both the size and taste. It did take a little while for the food to arrive, but it was worth the wait. I recommend it to all my friends now. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came for breakfast and was not disappointed! The tacos were huge and stuffed. Loved the atmosphere as it felt family-run. One thing though, the coffee was a bit weak for my liking. Overall, great place to grab a bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Crystal's Cafe last night, and it was an average experience. The ambiance was cozy, but the food didn’t quite meet my expectations—while it was decent, it lacked the robust flavors I was hoping for. Would consider giving it another shot in case I just caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love the little family vibe at Crystal's Cafe! I have been coming here since childhood and the food remains mostly unchanged—good tortillas, tasty filling. Just wish they could do something about the cleanliness during busy hours. Still, I recommend it especially for breakfast! " (*Curated Review*)
