The donut place has fair tacos, used to go there all the time when I lived over there.

Blanco Cafe (any location), Mimi's Barbacoa on Wurzbach & Vance Jackson, Sylvia's on Wurzbach & Babcock, Rolando's on Hildebrand, Rita's on Bandera near St. Cloud just to name a few.

Because of the steam it shrinks some so they have to work the chorizo in. Once they do though you’ll want to do it over and over. Something about the way the ingredients come together well it kinda makes a sauce. Needless to say it’s better than sex

I don't need to tell you the name, there's only one restaurant on the intersection of Fredricksburg and Babcock. A funny thing about that place is that its across planned parenthood so occasionally you can catch a protest or two.

I used to work near there, and there is always a loooong line going out of that place each morning, and people circling around to get in line w/o stopping traffic on Fred Rd. They separated the two lines -- one for donuts, one for tacos but both are still long. When that place near it used to be Albertson's, there were usually more there than at Albertson's.

Never seen a protest at Planned Parenthood, though.

i love taco taco, garibaldi on fred and panchitos on mccullough. there's also a place called leticia's that comes in and sets up and sells tacos where i work every morning and they're pretty damn good.

There's a few locations around San Antonio. I have gone back to the one off of Walzem ever since I was a tot. Some of the greatest breakfast tacos ever, and one of the things I miss most about San Antonio.

The Taco Rules...

Rule #1 You can't get good tacos north of Jackson Keller

Rule #2 The Place on Bandera across from the Planned Parent hood is Chachos and although their tacos are filling they are sometimes just eehhh...

Rule #3 Blanco Cafe is overpriced and mediocre

Rule #4 You can't get good food from a place that always runs out of food...you hear me original donut shop..

Rule #5 The best place for Tacos is and always will be Rolandos Super taco on Hildebrand.

Cuco's on Blanco has awesome tacos, especially the bacon and egg ones - they get the bacon super crispy and then chop it up into tiny pieces with the egg. So good.

Taco Taco on Hildebrand rocks (there is a special place in my heart for their migas tacos), but ever since the Food Network did that piece on them I can't even get in the freaking door most of the time.

That's what I said. Bill Millers is good. You can pretty much tell them to put any kind of combo together. Sausage and bean is my fave. The wifey likes potato and cheese. They use the same potatos that are used for lunch and dinner. Be bold, be daring try sausage potato and cheese or bean cheese and sausage or eggs and brisket. The possibilities are endless.
