It's are go to Mexican place downtown. I know there is some great places downtown... My separation is the customer service. I was worried when the rebranded, but nothing changed. Price point is great, food always good, customer service great... And that neighborhood feel. We arrived back from Europe.... It was our first breakfast stop the next day.

I am really surprised this place isn't more crowded, that being said, it was early evening when my husband and I arrived for dinner. The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken cream cheese jalapeno enchiladas and my husband, Big Dave's enchilada special. Both were very plentiful and delicious. The waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and efficient. Honestly, I couldn't have asked for better service. The restaurant is clean, decorated well, easy to talk and hear as the music is not too loud. Beautiful view of the Southdown from inside. For sure, we will be back. The prices are reasonable for the area and just a word of advice. Before ordering the largest Margarita they sell, know how huge it is :-)

We were watching the UT game across the street and got hungry so came across the street to Taco Haven. After reading some of the comments I would say don't come in here expecting a Mexican gourmet meal. It is a family owned Tex-Amex probably where you get a meal before or after going out. It was a perfect snack of flautas and tacos. After living in the west coast I was needing some Tex-Mex to refuel me, so thank you Taco Haven! Lady at the front is a little snappy, but we weren't there for long. They do also have screens to watch sports but it was kinda empty and didn't have the loud energy of the other place we were at. I'm glad they were there to curb my hunger while watching the game.

Parking in the back of restaurant. Got seated right away, order Ed specials of menudo and barbacoa taco and soda. . Waiter was very nice and attentive.

Our go to place that never disappoints. We had menudo and it is always on point. Their burgers are made to order and loaded with delicious toppings. The Daves plate is cooked to perfection. So, if you're in Southtown or wanting to eat some great food, stop by here. Jesus our waiter is extremely fast, friendly and very detailed with the orders.

The Haven Southtown Mexican Restaurant y Cantina ("The Haven") has been a brunch staple of mine for years. For some reason or another, when I visit San Antonio, I usually end up staying in the Alamo Heights area, and this place always feels inviting when it is usually just around the corner. I have no idea how long it has been around. From the looks of things, at least a few decades (if not longer). This becomes obvious when you observe the crowd. Like many "legacy" restaurants remaining in bigger cities with gentrifying neighborhoods, you always notice a nice cross-section of the changing demographics. It's a nice scene. I have never been here when it was not packed to the gills. That's probably because they have really good classic Tex-Mex food at decent prices. People who live here want this. People who visit here want to experience it. It also has an atmosphere reflective of who they are and what they want to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Why try to be or represent yourself as anything other than what you really are? Anyway, I like the place! I imagine I will return on future visits.

Excellent service here!!! The staff here goes above and beyond and I am left impressed every time I go here either for take out or dine in. The service makes all the difference especially in San Antonio with so many Tex mex options. The place is currently decorated for Christmas and throughout the year they have cute Mexican decor. It's a cozy/homey vibe here and they have all the classics of a tex mex menu and some funky options like the capirotada which went great with a cup of coffee.
