" Not my first choice, but I was pleasantly surprised. La Sorpresa managed to provide a fulfilling meal, and I must say, the handmade corn tortillas are a highlight. The service was warm. despite the restaurant being quite busy. I appreciate their efforts to keep things running efficiently. So glad I popped in because the food was delectable! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got around to trying La Sorpresa and I was blown away! The food is full of flavor and made with care. I had the chicharrones, which were crisp and perfectly seasoned. The owners truly have a passion for their food, and it shows in the taste. The atmosphere is also warm and inviting. I’ll definitely be adding this restaurant to my regular rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Sorpresa on a bright Saturday morning, and let me just say, it was a delightful experience! The chorizo and egg burrito I ordered was bursting with flavor, and the homemade tortillas added a special touch that you just can't find at chain restaurants. The attentive staff checked up on us regularly, ensuring our coffee cups stayed full. It felt like home away from home. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Mexican breakfast options. I will definitely be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just wanted to share my experience at La Sorpresa: the menudo is out of this world! I loved how they serve it with fresh tortillas, just how I remembered. The space is a bit tight, fitting a good crowd of regulars, and the decor adds a charming touch. However, it's the food that shines brightly. Can't wait to return for more, especially on Saturdays for the menudo which is popular amongst the locals! " (*Curated Review*)

" While my experience at La Sorpresa wasn’t perfect, it still holds a special place in my heart. The food is good but I found that the flavors weren’t as vibrant as I remembered from my last visit. I had the chicken enchiladas, which were decent but a little bland. The service, however, was exceptional; my waiter was very attentive and kind. I think my next visit I might try something different on the menu. Overall, a solid choice for anyone craving Mexican food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited La Sorpresa for lunch with a colleague and was very impressed! The tacos de asada we ordered were full of flavor, and the homemade salsa verde was the perfect complement. The restaurant is cozy but busy – a sign of its popularity! I appreciated the fast service and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. This place has my vote for best lunch spot in San Antonio! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had to wait a little longer than usual for my food, but it was well worth it! The tacos were authentic, and you could tell they were made fresh. The staff seemed overworked, but they maintained a positive attitude and were apologetic about the wait. It's a small place with a lot of character. Looking forward to coming back soon!
