Benjamin's Kitchen

Just southwest of San Antonio on Fischer Rd, Benjamin’s Kitchen has been dishing out straightforward, made-to-order Mexican food for years, whether you pull up to the drive-thru or grab a seat inside. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that runs on word of mouth — and with a 4.6-star rating from nearly 700 Google reviews, plenty of people have been talking.

The kitchen’s bread and butter is the breakfast taco, piled high with eggs, cheese, bacon, ham, or chorizo on fresh flour tortillas, alongside huevos rancheros and stacks of buttermilk pancakes every morning. Once lunch rolls around, regulars order carne asada tacos loaded with cheese and guacamole, shredded chicken tacos with salsa verde, and burritos big enough to share, all served with rice, beans, and chips with salsa on the side.

One reviewer summed it up after driving out from downtown San Antonio: “this is a gem, a truly authentic, palate pleasing Mexican restaurant… no regrets, worth the drive.” That’s the reputation Benjamin’s Kitchen has built one plate at a time.
