It sounds good to me right now as well. But considering you two will want to go get Taco Taco since it's right by where y'all work I'm going to hesitate to commit right now.

And considering you want to meet in an area with the worst morning rush hour traffic...lets meet in the middle.

We had a good turnout at Guajillos at Blanco and 410.

Who would show up if we met there? TexAgs Breakfast Taco meet up to discuss in the new Kyle Field, Spurs, San Antonio, AAM02's wild and crazy Memorial Day.

Now I know you're trolling. Guajillo's has one of my favorite salsas in San Antonio, but they've never been open for breakfast.

Well, if no one wants Bee's then lets go to Taco House near San Pedro and Jackson Keller. I have not been there, review look good.

The 5th doesn't work for me.

In other news, I'd heard good things about Taqueria Datapoint. I'll be checking that place out tomorrow, but not for breakfast, and no y'all can't come.

I'd like to TTT this bad boy with an endorsement of Chela's Tacos.

I'd had their carnitas before, which I'm convinced, coupled with their green salsa, is the best carnitas taco in town.

I tried out their cochinita taco for lunch just now and it was crazy-flavorful. I think my favorite part of their tacos is that they're juicy.

Carnitas and cochinita tacos are the owner's two favorites, I discovered today, so I knew I was ordering well.

Because they're served out of a taco truck I recommend eating them on-location or placing them somewhere in your car that you don't mind staining with taco juice.

All this said, carne guisada, my favorite taco, is not their strongest suit, so stick to pork tacos here and you'll be very pleased.

This dude lives on my street. Either I'm poor, or taco trucks make good money.

You had introduced us to Chela's Tacos a couple years ago, I think. Back then I wasn't so impressed because I got the carne guisada and it wasn't that great compared to Aguascalientes. But I was just ordering wrong. Do you actually know the guy, or just stalk his truck?

I'll occasionally ask how business is when I'm walking the dog and pass his house. I was getting the mail one day and saw him pass me by. That's when I noticed he lives on my street.

My impression of him isn't great but I don't know him personally. I always get a kick watching him clean out the trailer in front of his house.

El Palmar on Vance Jackson and 410
You will not be disappointed and you can thank me later. Order anything and its fresh, delicious and big portions.
My favorites are the carne guisada tacos. Best in SA!
The porkchop breakfast plate if you are super hungry

Blanco BBQ has started to serve breakfast tacos. I was extremely disappointed. Very, very, very little meat; basically all eggs and a tortilla. The eggs are dry and taste like they were reheated in a microwave. Even with the potato and egg they were stingy on the potato, just three small squares and a lot of nasty eggs.

The best thing was they had a mariachi band out on the street to advertise that they now serve breakfast tacos.

I still like their BBQ though.

I am obsessed with breakfast tacos. I have been to many places in many different cities. I am from Victoria where I lived for 19 years. I have lived in San Antonio for 5 years. Comal County tacos on hwy 46 is the best I have ever had.

These just might be the best tacos in town if people are willing to kill for them

quote:
A San Antonio man threatened a waitress with a sword he had holstered on his waist last week after he was told he would indeed have to pay for the tacos he ordered at a South Side restaurant, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.

...

Kramer ordered six tacos at Alondras De Jalisco on South Loop 1604 at about 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 2, according to documents released Friday. When the waitress told Kramer how much he owed, he responded that he was going to take them for free, officials said.

When the waitress told Kramer that he had to pay for his food, he allegedly started sliding what is described as a large sword in and out of a black sheath on his waist, the affidavit says.

The waitress asked the cook to come talk with Kramer, who left the building when the phone rang, according to the affidavit. Kramer went to his vehicle before walking back to the restaurant, still allegedly carrying the large sword, so the waitress locked the door, documents state.

“Mr. Kramer was yelling that he wanted his free tacos or somebody was going to die,” the affidavit says.

Patty's has a decent Carne Guisada. Their Tortillas are very consistent. THeir Chorizo and Egg and Potato and Egg tacos are excellente as well. Not too big a fan on their green salsa, but it does the trick.

Taco Haven is up there with Chris Madrid's on my list of overrated places in SA. The tacos are fine but as someone who has lived and works in the area there are 4 or 5 other places nearby i will go to before there.

Tommy's is very solid overall, though the San Pedro location doesn't quite stack up to the others.

I've been to lupita's on culebra (not discussed but close to my work), tink-a-taco also on culebra, and the original donut shop. I think next are Rolando's super tacos and taco haven.

I also want to hit up Taqueria Aguas Calientes since its 2 minutes from my new house.

The Aguascalientes speaks to my heart. What do you think of those places you listed thus far?

Maybe try out Aguascalientes and let us know if you believe they are competitive.

Ya, I need a Saturday to properly break in Aguascalientes. I want to do a sit down breakfast there so I can focus on the carne guisada everyone has been raving about.

Lupitas, Tink-a-taco are good, I think I favor Tink-a-taco a bit since the tacos are bigger. I am not a fan of the green and red sauces that most places give. I grew up with and prefer a more chunky almost similar to a ground up pico type salsa that is fresh and not cooked. Different strokes for different folks...

The original donut shop is very good too, but doesn't stand out enough for me to justify the drive over there for me.

If you want a hole in the wall lunch type place, lupita's in my opinion has the market cornered...I've had the puffy tacos and chicken fajitas, and it is excellent. The flavor of the rice and beans is delicious.

Already up ~7-10 lbs in 1.5 months.
