The little taco house off the highway where the tortillas are homemade, the tacos run monster-sized, and the coffee's on before sunrise.
Mon–Fri 5:30 a.m.–2 p.m. · Sat till 1 p.m. · Sun closedLil' Jonnys sits on the I-35 North access road on San Antonio's northeast side, feeding early shifts, road crews, and anyone smart enough to pull off the highway. Doors open at 5:30 in the morning, the tortillas are made in house, and the breakfast tacos earn the word "monster."
It's breakfast and lunch only — by two o'clock the day's work is done. Old-school service, generous plates, no fuss.
The order regulars tell you to get — a taco drowned in sauce, eaten with a fork, worth every napkin. It's the plate that gives this little house its name around the neighborhood.
